I receive a random message about a software update and the update failed.

The message specifically says: "Something is trying to trick Firefox into accepting an insecure update. Please contact your network provider and seek help." I am not sure what this is about. Any help would be appreciated. thank you. I believe that is all the details.

This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder to remove the file(s) that cause the problem.

  • I am trying to download a TV episode and am continually getting an error 8008 message about half way through and the show then stops downloading

    I am trying to download a TV episode and I am continally getting an error 8008 message and the download stops in the middle of the show.  Can anyone tell me what 8008 is? and what can it do to fix it?

    I am having this same issue. It is happening with ALL downloads now, including the software update for iPhone and several television episodes.
    Note: I have already deleted the contents of the "downloads" sub-folder in the iTunes folder and temporarily de-activated virus protection.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to combat this error=8008 "part of the file may be corrupted" message?

  • I keep getting error messages about tags being added, and the errors keep coming until I have to force quit firefox because it is non-responsive.

    Error Message: The tag 'United States' has been added to and/or removed from items in multiple locations. It has been added to the following local items:
    The error message will repeat with different tags such as male or human. It seems to be saying it is putting the tags on articles stored in my Zotero, but I am not sure the titles match.

    cannot find Symbol- method getChar()That means you're trying to call a method that doesn't exist.
    When you post code, please use[code] and [/code] tags as described in Formatting tips on the message entry page. It makes it much easier to read.

  • Ios7 software update failed on ipad, any ideas how to fix?

    I am unable to update my ipad - when I click 'download and install' i get the user agreement which I accept, I then get a message that says "Software Update Failed - An error occured downloading ios 7.1" I had the same issue for ios 7.06. I have tried hard resetting, disconnecting wifi etc.
    Model is MC706B/A
    Current ios version is 7.0.4 (11B554a)
    Any ideas?

    Are you trying to update via wifi, or connected to your computer?
    If wifi, locate your iPad very close to your router so it doesn't drop wifi, or connect to your computer and update.

    Hi and welcome..
    Connect your iPad to your computer. Launch iTunes. Make sure your iPad is recognized in iTunes under Devices on the left.
    Select the Summary tab then click Update.
    Just to make sure your iPad software is up to date.

    Hi,
    Since upgrading my ipad and iphone software i am receiving an error message when sending emails, saying that the email address was rejected by the server.
    Please advise if this is a known problem, and what is the fix.
    Many thanks

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

  • Itunes was working fine. Tries to install latest upgrade and get error message about an invalid character in the path "Program Files (x86)". PC, Win7, nothing else appears to be having same issue.

    Itunes was working fine. Tried to install latest upgrade and get error message about an invalid character in the path "Program Files (x86)". PC, Win7, nothing else appears to be having same issue. Program still works, simply cannor upgrade.

    Thanks b noir,
    I tried this solution without success. After FixIt ran and didn't find a problem, either in looking for issues with "software upgrade" or "iTunes" it kindly offered to help me uninstall iTunes. I had thought of this as a possibilty but it seems to me that if you do that you lose a lot of "non-native-to-Apple" information you might have entered. I did this once and recovery was painfull. Is there a way to uninstall iTunes without losing all of that sort of thing? Any help would be appreciated.

  • My ipod needs to be restore and I get a error message saying :ipod software update server coud not be contacted.

    My ipod needs to be restore and I get a error message saying :ipod software update server coud not be contacted.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then tap Settings > General > Software Update
    No data is lost due to a reset.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You can't install 9.2.1 or earlier on any Mac that is only Mac OS X bootable. In fact you need to use the restore disks which came with those Macs to install 9.2.2 on those Macs. 8.6 is only possible to install on Macs which came with 8.6 or earlier. The 9.1 disk may be useful for your 1999 PowerMac G4, but won't be of any use for a 2006 Powerbook G4.

  • 12511 Unexpectedly received TLS alert message; treating as a rejection by the client

    ISE Version: 1.2.0.899 (Running in VMware)
    WLC: 5508 ver 7.6.100.0
    I have a WLAN created that uses dot1x authentication. The WLAN points to ISE for RADIUS AAA. I cannot get any windows computer to connect to it (7,8 or 8.1 tested), but android, ios and osx are all able to connect. I have a 3rd party cert (GoDaddy) installed in my local store in ISE, which is valid and not expired. I do not understand why windows machines are failing.
    I am migrating to this new ISE server and my old ISE server has the same configuration (as far as I can tell) for this WLAN and it works for all devices, including windows. The difference is that it is on a different domain (the reason for the migration is we changed domains).
    Here is the ISE error:
    Event: 5400 Authentication failed
    Failure Reason: 12511 Unexpectedly received TLS alert message; treating as a rejection by the client
    Resolution: Ensure that the ISE server certificate is trusted by the client, by configuring the supplicant with the CA certificate that signed the ISE server certificate. It is strongly recommended to not disable the server certificate validation on the client!
    Root cause: While trying to negotiate a TLS handshake with the client, ISE received an unexpected TLS alert message. This might be due to the supplicant not trusting the ISE server certificate for some reason. ISE treated the unexpected message as a sign that the client rejected the tunnel establishment.
    Here is the WLC error:
    AAA Authentication Failure for UserName:Domain\User User Type: WLAN USER
    Here is the windows event viewer error:
    Source:        Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing
    Event ID:      5632
    Description:
    A request was made to authenticate to a wireless network.
    Subject:
        Security ID:        NULL
        Account Name:        User
        Account Domain:        Domain
    Network Information:
        Name (SSID):        IT-Test
    Additional Information:
        Reason Code:        Explicit Eap failure received (0x50005)
        Error Code:        0x80420014
        EAP Reason Code:    0x80420100
        EAP Root Cause String:    Network authentication failed\nThe user certificate required for the network can't be found on this computer.
        EAP Error Code:        0x80420014
    On the ISE server that is working you are presented with a window that asks you to connect or terminate based on the certificate not being validated. I don't know why that isn't happening with this new ISE server, it just fails without prompting the user to connect or terminate. Both certs are from GoDaddy.
    A difference between the certs is the old has a cert that was generated through ISE and the new server has an imported wildcard cert.
    Anyway, I hope that is enough information to understand the issue. I appreciate the time anyone takes in assisting me with this issue. I did setup a copy of the WLAN so that I can test as needed and not have to wait for a maintenance window.

    Thanks for your prompt reply. If I understand you correctly, the workaround is to essentially NOT use a wildcard certificate?
    Here is another thing. In the certificate operations section I moved EAP to the self-signed certificate and the behavior is the same, but the error is different. The self-signed cert isn't a wildcard and it still fails on windows only.
    ISE Error:
    Event: 5400 Authentication failed
    Failure Reason: 12321 PEAP failed SSL/TLS handshake because the client rejected the ISE local-certificate
    Resolution: Check whether the proper server certificate is installed and configured for EAP in the Local Certificates page ( Administration > System > Certificates > Local Certificates ). Also ensure that the certificate authority that signed this server certificate is correctly installed in client's supplicant. Check the previous steps in the log for this EAP-TLS conversation for a message indicating why the handshake failed. Check the OpenSSLErrorMessage and OpenSSLErrorStack for more information.
    Root cause: PEAP failed SSL/TLS handshake because the client rejected the ISE local-certificate
    Obviously the self-signing CA isn't in the local machines store.
