Internet connection and software update issues

We recently updated our MacBook Pro 10.6.8 and now are unable to connect to internet. It says the operation cannot be completed operation not permitted. We've tried other wifi connections without success. It also fails to check for software updates with the same error message as the internet. Any suggestions as to how to solve this, or are they even connected issues?

I'm a little confused by this question.
***   We recently updated our MacBook Pro 10.6.8 etc.  ***
Updated it TO 10.6.8?
Updated it FROM 10.6.8?   ...  In which case what did you update to.
Is this a Mavericks adventure?

  • Internet Connect crash/Software Update won't open

    I have a 500mhz G3 slot loading iMac running 10.3.9
    About 2 weeks ago, after waking FrankenMac up from sleep mode, I noticed the Airport status symbol failed to appear in the menu bar (next to the volume/date&time etc).
    Looking into my Network settings revealed that I was indeed still connected to the internet, via my Airport, all systems go. However, I noticed that "show airport status in menu bar" was unchecked, so I checked the box. Which apparently did jack squat b/c there's still no icon.
    For the last couple weeks, as long as I've been connected to the internet, I could really give a flying flip about whether the airport status icon is there or not. I mean, seriously. I know this computer is a little old so why rock the boat on something trivial?
    Until today. Today I was determined to figure out where the icon is, why it went away and if there are any other underlying problems.
    I started first with Internet connect. Applications->Internet Connect, clicked on the purple IC button, only to have it launch in the dock, bounce once, then quit.

    I attempted to open Software Update next to see if there was something critical (ha!) I might be missing. Apple menu->software update and it was a repeat performance of Internet Connect, except this time I wouldn't even get so much as the Software Update icon in the dock. The dock would move everything to the left, as if it was going to open, then....nothing.
    *Software update was working as of 6/14*, when I updated (perhaps foolishly) to Quicktime 7.5.

    This ridiculously long post boils down to 2 questions, really.
    • Any ideas why Internet Connect and Software Update won't open and how to fix?
    • Where in the world is my Airport status icon? (not that it matters since I'm connected to the internet, but doggone it!)
    I've run Disk Utility, repaired permissions and the HD checks out fine. I'm just at a loss (not surprising, given my limited amount of fix-it-yerself knowledge)
    Should I just put up, shut up and be grateful that these problems, while aggravating, aren't majorly disrupting my life?

    Okay no worries, can't find where to delete this post...

  • IChat won't connect and Software Update will not run.

    Hi, all,
    Sorry if something like this has already come up, and I apologise if this is the incorrect forum to post this in. I searched and didn't see anything identical to my issue (I didn't search very hard, but I did search), so I figured posting a topic might be the best way to go. I know this is two problems, but I decided to post it in the iChat forum in case the two were related.
    I bought this computer and received it yesterday. It's a 15 inch MacBook Pro, i5, 10.6.4. It worked fine this morning, software update ran, ichat worked fine.
    Now, when I try to connect to iChat, it takes a good ten minutes to try to connect, and then it sends me an error that says "You have been disconnected from iChat services. An internal error occurred that disconnected you from all iChat services. To resume using iChat, log in again to your instant messaging account." So, I quit iChat, and restarted it, but now it won't even show me my buddy list saying "connecting....". It just starts and sits there, and all the options are greyed out. I tried going into the security settings and changing the port to 443, but that's greyed out, too.
    So I thought I would try to run software update, and software update opens, but it doesn't ... go. It shows the little blue bar, and it's not frozen, but it doesn't advance at all, and it never gives me the option to go to the "install updates" screen because it doesn't check. I went into my network settings to check my connection, and I'm definitely connected to the internet (I mean, I'm typing this ON the MacBook Pro right now), but the panel says I'm not. I can hit "cancel" and quit software update.
    I already reinstalled the OS and the update to 10.6.4, and it's still the same issue.
    Help, anyone? This computer is brand new and I really don't want to have to erase and reinstall.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    On the changing the port front stop off on the Account Info tab on the way a deselect "Use this Account" to take it Off Line. (you can get half way states)
    You should then find the port 5190 is dark text so it can be edited.
    You should press the Enter key to "Set" the port change (this is different to earlier versions of iChat)
    Also try it with the SSL option disabled.
    If this is an AIM Login (AIM or Apple Name) their SSL server is more prone to "Falling over". iChat should default to using an Non SSL Login on a reconnection front it can be subject to a time frame issue.
    Next check the Mac Firewall (System Preferences > Security > Firewall tab)
    If this is On in Snow Leopard you have to go to the Advanced Button and Allow Signed Apps and Add iChat to the list.
    I favour the last suggestion as this may also block Software Update (Although I nm not sure how you got to 10.6.4 although it is a separate Download you can get).
    I would also check you have DNS servers listed in System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > DNS tab

    Please, if posting Logs, do not post any Log info after the line "Binary Images for iChat"

  • Major Sync and software update issue with windows 7 and iphone

    Loved my iPhone 3g and love my 4.0! My only concern is syncing and software updates are sporadic.
    When I first purchased and sync'd my 3g on my laptop, that I had since 2005 w/XP home 64bit, it would constantly (1 out of 5 times) show phone was disconnected and could not sync. Purchased a desktop, 2009 w/Vista 64bit (same issue mentioned continued) then upgraded to windows 7 64bit (same issue mentioned continued).
    Both pc's are authorized and contain the same apps and software. I went through all trouble shooting steps (authorize/deauthorize, phone hard boot, sync w/airplane mode on and/or off, uninstall and or reinstall iTunes, etc...) when both phones would brick after software updates on both pc's.
    The last software update 4.0 and most recent 4.2.1 went well on laptop with XP and no longer shows sync issue. The problem continues on the windows 7 and backup has completed successfully 3 times.
    Long story short, I have to pray the laptop never dies because iTunes, syncing and software updates on XP works now! The problem with software update, backups and syncing persists on windows 7.
    * I was able to apply 4.2.1 software update on XP and then connect to windows 7 to sync and backup successfully. I then disconnected/reconnected iphone to windows 7 and problem happened again, unable to sync phone was disconnected error message.

    I've had my new pc for over a year, never had any probs syncing my iphone (then a 3G but now the big 4!)
    I went to sync updates to Apps and a couple of tunes I had downloaded straight to my phone only to get an error message 'iTunes has stopped working - windows is checking the problem' followed by another messaged telling me there was a problem causing the program not to work correctly. Windows will close the program and notify me if a solution is found'
    Well..... I have NO music on my iPhone and every time I try to sync, the same error messages come up and the bloody program shuts down....

  • No internet connection after software update

    Yesterday I did for the first time my Nokia E51software update. I followed after instruction, update has installed properly. After update I backed up my data and settings. But there is one problem. After update my phone lost internet connection. Everytime when I try to go to the internet my phone is connecting Vodafone Live, but after that always appears error - Web: connection time out.
    I wanted setup internet settings here, but I see that Nokia doesn't do automatic setup anymore Hell, how it was helpful and handy!!!
    I was also on my mobile provider's (Vodafone) website, but they doesn't have any manuals for this kind of Nokia like mine.
    Do you have any suggestions what should I do?
    My mobile model: Nokia E51
    Provider: Vodafone (Ireland)
    I'll be grateful for any help and advices.
    Solved!

    If you have done a full backup in PC Suite, then do a fresh Restore but this time uncheck the Settings options and just restore the others.
    It is usual that settings may change after a firmware update.

  • Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

    Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

    That's what I would have thought, but even after saving the setting, as soon as I shut down my computer or log out of Mail, it automatically defaults back to 25. It's a bit frustrating.
    Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of those horrible pop-up banners but still have my glass sound and number of emails in the red dot when I get an email...
    These little tweaks are the only thing I HATE about upgrading my OS.

  • Admin gets the following message while trying to update software: None of the selected updates could be saved. A network error has occurred. Check your Internet connection, and then try again. Any suggestions?

    I'm the Adnin. just recently I tried to update system software (Lion OS). The following message was returned. None of the selected updates could be saved. A network error has occurred. Check your Internet connection, and then try again. but I have internet access )email, Safari, etc.). Any idea of what is happenening?

    The error may be at Apple's end rather than yours. It could also be due to corrupted files on your computer. Try deleting the following:
    /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    /Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    Restart your computer.

  • Safari and Software Update wont open anymore when connected to internet.

    My Safari and Software update and Internet Explorer cannot connect to the internet anymore after 4 years even when I'm connected to the internet... I once got a 'Posix 54' error message. Firefox does not have a problem!
    I'm using Mac OSX 10.3.2. Which I reinstalled just now, Xmas 07 and reinstalled all the software with no luck. I've wasted three days trying to solve this problem. Can any one help please. London UK.

    Hi,
    Check under here to see if you have any proxies selected. If you do, unselect them and retry the applications.

  • Safari, iTunes and Software update can't connect, firefox can

    Hi all!
    Since upgrading to Leopard I've been unable to get my macbook to connect using Safari, Software Update or iTunes. I get unknown error messages from iTunes and Software Update and a message that the server can't be found or times out from safari.
    Strangely Firefox works perfectly and the other Macs on my network (some 10.4, some 10.5) are fine.
    I have tried checking the proxy settings and creating an new user account but both times the problem persists.
    The only thing I can think it could be is that someone configured proxy settings through firefox a while ago (pre 10.5) when they used it at their office. could that affect safari etc?
    All help gratefully received.
    Adam

    Hi. Sorry this will not help, more of an observation. I posted a while back that I was having much the same problem at work when connecting through a proxy. Any Apple app that needs an internet connection did not work, ie Safari, Widgets, Software Update etc. But iChat works, as does Mail although not the RSS function. Firefox on the other hand works fine. I am absolutely certain my setting are correct and when I revert to using my 10.4.10 boot disk that all works fine. I think Apple has some how changed the way user info and password is sent when making a net connection through a proxy and now with 10.5 it does not work.
    I also spoke with a mate yesterday he has just upgraded to 10.4.11 which means he now has Safari 3. He now is also experiencing the same problems I have with 10.5 and proxy connections.

  • Unable to connect to network with Safari and Software Update

    A user I support has encountered a problem with networking. He is unable to connect to the network with Safari and Software Update, but IS able to connect and surf with Foxfire and some other programs. Another unusual symptom is that he actually can connect to one web site (which is in his Bookmarks Bar) with Safari, but can't connect to anything else. He's also unable to navigate off of that one site he connects to. When he runs Network Diagnostics, he gets all green lights (no problems). He has fixed permissions, deleted Safari Cache and .plist, rebooted - not fixed yet. He's using 10.4.8 on a PowerPC G4. Any ideas appreciated (this is the wierdest I've seen in a while!).

    Here's what he did. After reading your post, he created another location in his network preferences, entering EXACTLY the same info that was in his old location (he even used the old DNS addresses), except using a new location name. Then he chose the new location and "everything worked". It's one of life's great mysteries. Thanks for your help - it is appreciated.

  • Failed to update please check your internet connection and try again later

    every time I try to run a program that I have downloaded (like Trend Micro) or update my Comodo Internet security I get an error message failed to update please check your internet connection and try again later and I am connected to the internet I've closed Firefox and reopened and it still does it
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == this has been going on for several months

    I was unable to connect to internet via any app. I have now turned my phone off and on again and all seems fine.
    Thanks for your help.

    i am using a GLOBE prepaid microsim for my new ipad with retina. i was registered with supersurf 999, and i was able to enjoy my internet connection until i updated my ios with 6.1... since then, every time i go online,it says i am not registered with mobile internet... however, when i insert the microsim on my broadband, i can actually go online... what to do??? my apn setting in internet.globe.com.ph which is for prepaid users...

    PS - I just sent this to a few of my friends in the big hardware review sites, as well as a few apple execs:
    Whats up guys? Its your old buddy dom "battleship mtron author , 9 ssd drives in raid 0" years ago. lol
    I wanted to fill you in on a HUGE problem with the new ios 6 update.
    My iphone 4 updated without a hitch.
    My ipad 3 on the other hand has a HUGE PROBLEM. It is essentially a brick without wifi (since the device relies on wifi for just about every task).
    There are currently hundreds of a users within the last 2 hours reporting the same error on the apple discussions site.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19626235#19626235
    What happens is simple:
    1. Download and install the update on Ipad 3.
    2. Try and connect to your normal wifi connection.
    3. It will connect for a few seconds and than fail stating "no internet connection available"
    4. It is no a brick without wifi accessibility. (unless we revert to ios 5)
    I have tried resetting my router. Resetting settings on the ipad. Renewing the ip address both LOCALLY and through the WAN at the cable modem and rebooting all of my networking equipment (ie: router), I even tried doing a complete wipe and re-install of ios 6 fresh. You guys know I am a tech geek from my background and I have tried everything so I just wanted to fill you in on this potential problem for apple.
