I keep getting a download update and it runs but never connects to the server. What do I do to correct this problem?

Firefox won't update. I keep getting a download request and it tries to connect to the server but it just keeps on running and never downloads any thing.

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    Hi, this has worked for a few...
    Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
    10.7…
    System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
    10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
    System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
    The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
    Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
    For 10.5/10.6, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Click OK.
    Also, turn off IPv6:
    System Preferences » Network » AirPort » TCP/IP tab » Configure IPv6
    Or whatever Interface you use.

  • Im trying to set up a connection to localhost from my mac but keep getting an error message: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.

    Hi
    I'm new to working with Mamp, Dreamweaver and WordPress and am trying to work using the Firefox browser. unfortunately i keep getting the error message Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost. when i type the URL http://localhost/explore_ca/blog/wp-admin I cant use Dreamweaver with WP without this is there a reason for this and how do i get around it?

    1- Is your MAMP working '''whithout errors'''(does it show you errors while executing or running and enabling)?
    2- Have you tested other browsers? Is your problem still occuring?
    3- Are you using '''proxy '''or '''VPN '''(or setted a proxy server or VPN server on your Computer)?

  • Why does the advisory for downloading update 28.0 run but never contact the server or download anything for my Mac Firefox 27.0.1?

    I'm running OS X 10.9.2 on an iMac with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory. All previous updates have downloaded and installed flawlessly, but every time it arrives -- and that's been several times so far -- this one has simply shown that blue-and-white striped busy bar, says it's contacting the server, and does nothing, no matter how long I leave it running.

    That's weird but you should be able to manually install the update like this:
    #Download a fresh copy from [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ here] - direct link (https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-28.0-SSL&os=osx&lang=en-US)
    #Install the new version. For details, see [[How to download and install Firefox on Mac]]
    Usually this fixes this issue with automatic updates. There will be new version available starting next Tuesday. The automatic update will happen sometime over the following week or so.
    Let me know how it goes.<br>
    Thanks,<br>

  • I keep getting a download error that says Creative cloud cant connect to Adobe servers, what do I do?

  • I keep on getting a warning to update my security and hit the update button but the "connecting to the update server" runs and runs but never connects."

    I have repeated been confronted with a warning that my Firefox (vers. 5.0) needs to be updated for security reasons. I hit the button to launch the update and another window pops up with a "connecting the update server" message. I runs but never connects. I have gone through this exercise perhaps some 10 times or so with no update being successfully accomplished.

    If there are 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 6.0.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

    Are you using OS X Server here, or is this a connection with some other server?  If this is OS X Server, what version is running?
    Please post a screen shot of the dialog box, and an example of a URL that's failing.  (You can use ⌘⬆4 (command shift 4) to activate the screen capture mechanism, and the camera icon here to upload the image.  Please make sure you don't include any sensitive information in what you're uploading.)

  • I run Tiger OSX on one MacBook and SnowLeopard on another. Photos were downloaded from Tiger to SnowLeopard, and now iPhoto won't open on the Tiger Mac. Will upgrading iPhoto fix this problem?

    I run Tiger OSX on one MacBook and SnowLeopard on another. Photos were downloaded from Tiger to SnowLeopard, and now iPhoto won't open on the Tiger Mac. Will upgrading iPhoto fix this problem?

    What matters is the version of iPhoto you have on the different machines. Can you tell us what they are, and what exact error message you get.

  • I have a 4th generation iPod touch which was working perfectly until I downloaded ios5 and now it won't connect to my wi-fi - all other devices working correctly. Where can I download ios 4.3.5 from?

    I have a 4th generation iPod touch which was working perfectly until I downloaded ios5 and now it won't connect to my wi-fi - all other devices working correctly. My pc didn't create a backup before updating software so I can't revert back to ios 4.3.5 from there, where can I download ios 4.3.5 from?

    I tried just about everything and finally brought my Ipod touch to the apple store.  The tech installed ios 4.3.5 but still no WIFI.  He recommended a $149 exchange - not really a bad deal with a new battery and 90 day warranty, but I thought I'd try again.
    The "solution" was bizarre.  On YouTube was a fix involving taking the motherboard out and heating the wifi components with a heat gun.
    I did not like that idea, but another involved turning it off, putting it in the freezer for five minutes and restarting.  It worked!  I must admit the fix does not work reliably, so I may still go for the exchange.  Still, I am now convinced that it is a hardware problem.    i remember back in the old days, TV repairmen sprayed a suspected bad resistor with Freon.  The chilled component would work long enough to identify what needed replacement.  Perhaps something similar is happening here.
    For anyone wanting to try this, I found it more convenient to place the back of my ipod on a  frozen cold pack until the wifi is restored.  It seems to happen when condensation forms on the face.  I used a towel to wipe off the moisture so as not to add to the problem.
