I have received numerous requests from Firefox to download security updates. In each case, I have been unable to connect to the server-it just hangs for 45 minutes or more. Any suggestions? I'm running Snow Leopard, latest update.

Macbook Pro purchased prior to Feb, 2011

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

    Can you get any other wired client to access the Internet when plugged into the AirPort's LAN port? Just not your Win7 laptop? What IP addresses are being assigned to your laptop when connected?
    I also tried Extending my wireless network using the Express, but get the error 10057 every time.
    Sorry, but this won't work as the Apple routers basically can only extend other Apple routers.

  • For the last 2 days I have been unable to connect to the AppStore or iTunes via either my iPhone/iPad or MacBook over wifi.

    I have spoken to my ISP (Sky) and they haven't got a clue.
    I cannot connect to iTunes/AppStore on any of my 3 devices (iPhone/iPad/MacBook) when connected to my home broadband yet I have no issues over 3G on my iPhone.
    I also cannot play YouTube videos on iPhone/iPad via the app or the website but have no issues on my MacBook. I have done all of the usual things like rebooted devices, reset network setting and all settings. I would restore but that isn't going to go so well if my MacBook won't talk to iTunes is it?
    In all my years I have never had an issue like this before, it HAS to be down to my ISP right?
    Any advice will be GREATLY appreciated, thanks.

    Thanks for the reply.
    So far I have reset and rebooted my router, the firewall is as default, no blocked sites etc
    Sky don't have a clue what I'm talking about so can't really help me.
    Just don't get it :(

  • I have a ipad mini and it says that it has perect wifi yet when i go into safari it says unable to connect with the server how can i fix this?

    I have a ipad mini and i have had it for less then a year, it says that i have perfect wifi up in the left corner where the wifi is always at  but when ever i go into the built in safari it says that it is unable to connect with the server. How can i fix this because with out it connecting to the server or internet it is kind of useless to me. I do have ios7 if that helps

    The wifi symbol only indicates the presence/signal strength of wifi. Not that you are connected.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
    Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

    Hello,
    I have an issue with connecting client SB1H on Windows, the scenario is as follows:
    1.- Server:
         Suse Linux Enterprise Server 11.3 kernel version: 3.0.76-0.11 IBM
         NDB and Server are review 69 SP06

         Windows 8 Pro Virtual Machine on Microsoft Hyper-V
         SB1H PL 11 version 32bits

    When I run SB1H the following message appears:
    There is a problem with the server's security certificate. The security certificate is not from a trusted certifying authority. SAP Business One is unable to connect to the server.
    Any idea what could be the solution?

    Hi,

    I recently upgraded my phone to 5.0 and now cannot access my ringtones theat were purchased.  They are in my itunes on the desktop but won't sync to my phone.  Any suggestions??

    OK. In iTunes on the computer, since you have the ringtones there, one simple method to try would be to drag them to the desktop, and then directly from the desktop to your phone in the Devices menu in iTunes.
