Internet Explorer will not allow me to download Mozilla Firefox on my computer. Its say the operation has timed out and I can't figure out why...

I have tried saving it to a jump drive and it still will not work. It also does not let me save the file anyhwere else on my hard drive. What is the problem?

Sadly there are some 'bad carriers' out there.  If you have a VERY long download(and iPad OS updates can be 100s of megabytes) and the carrier has  an interruption in service(router reboots, modem disconnects, etc) iTunes will timeout. 
   You might want to try updating later in the evening when usage starts to drop off(kids go to bed, people start watching cable instead of Netflix/Hulu) or early in the morning.
    The other alternative is to update at a friend's place who might have a better carrier or is on a better subnet

  • Windows Explorer will not allow me to download Firefox. Suggestions?

    I am running Windows 7 and Internet Explorer. When I attempt to download Firefox I receive an error message saying that Firefox can not be downloaded. I have tried the usual fixes by disabling my anti-virus program and disabling certain download buttons in Explorer but without success. Any suggestions? PS: It's a Dell computer still under warranty but when I called them for assistance they wanted $249.00 to assist me. So much for the great tech support and customer service they offer!!!!!

    A possibility is to open the Mozilla FTP website in <u>Windows Explorer</u> and download the Firefox set up file that way.
    See "How To Download Firefox On a New Computer Without Using Internet Explorer":
    * http://www.howtogeek.com/125447/
    * ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/latest/win32/en-US/
    Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

    A little information about anti-virus/anti-spyware.
    First rule in using anti-virus/anti-spyware applications/programs: Never have more than one in active/real-time/on-access state checking everything as your are on-line. One can interfere with the other and the result can be less rather than more protection. Check your settings in Spybot and AVG and be sure that only one is set up for active/real-time/on-access scanning. If you have questions about how to check, go to the forums for Spybot and AVG and ask for assistance.
    Second rule. No single anti-virus/anti-spyware application is 100% correct, 100% of the time. Some virus-signatures can result in "false positives". However, using Google I found that Spybot and McAfee both added "PBHotbar.SearchAssistant" to their '''''<u>adware</u>''''' definitions on March 9, 2011. (See: https://computersavvy.wordpress.com/2011/03/09/new-spybot-%E2%80%93-search-destroy-definition-update-available-2011-03-09/ and http://www.nutnworks.com/forums/threads/33947-Re-McAfee-Updates ) There may be other firms that added a malware/virus definition for "PBHotbar.SearchAssistant" under another name. '''''<u>Adware</u>''''' is designed to track your on-line activities, in this case your search activity, for the purpose of delivery advertising on pages that you visit. Somewhat benign, but do you want someone silently tracking your internet activity? Your decision as to whether to keep that Add-on.

  • TS1424 I tried downloading a new song by Josh Turner, "Time is Love".  However, when trying to download Itunes gave an almost automatic response saying the file has been corrupted and there is basically nothing to download.  How do I get my song?

    You pay 1.29 for a song and you should get it. Itunes says the download is corrupted and check with the itunes store for available downloads to redownload my song.  Nothing happens and the song I already purchased is not yet available to me.

    Try downloading again:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.
    If it absolutely refuses to download:

  • Why does iTunes keep giving me bogus error messages.  "Your internet connection is not working, check your connection and try again."  My internet is working fine.  iTunes is not working and will not allow me to download tunes.

  • My Win7 Ultimate will not allow LR4 to download.Note:Current security settings won't allow.

    My Win7 Ultimate will not allow LR4 to download. Message is"current security settings do not allow file to be downloaded". I have shut down all antivirus programs...still no luck. ?What to do?

    More detail about your scenario is needed:
    Windows 7 doesn’t download anything, itself.  If you are using a browser to download and it is a browser security message then poke around in the browser settinsg to see if you can see a setting to enable or disable to allow downloads.  If you are in a managed network environment it is possible that the downloads are disabled by a group policy that cannot be overridden by the normal user and you’d have to take up your issue with your supervisor or network administration personnel.
    Assuming you’re using Internet Explorer, you might also just try another browser, like Firefox or Chrome available that might have more relaxed security settings.
    The source of the message should be somewhat obvious and whatever is issuing the message is the thing to tweak the settings of.  This really isn’t a Windows Security forum so don’t expect anyone to give you click-by-click instructions for each browser type and version.

  • My phone keep asking me to sign in to itunes store and will not allow me to download apps. it sends a message saying "Cannot connect to itunes store" what do i do?

    my phone keep asking me to sign in to iTunes store and will not allow me to download apps. it sends a message saying "Cannot connect to itunes store" what do i do?

    Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it.  So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID).  If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

    You can try uninstalling IE8 then reinstalling it.
    Uninstall IE8
    I would take 'Y2ken's' advice and try Firefox.  I have used it for years with XP Pro and Ubuntu, Linux.  It definitely is more responsive.  Most of what is in IE8 was developed in FF several years ago.  FF was the first browser with tabs, for instance.

  • Windows 7 internet security will not allow the installation of Flash Player 17 Update

    Windows 7 internet security will not allow the installation of the Flash Player 17 update.  I have tried the direct install using the IE_AX update without success.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the screenshot.  It's very helpful. Essentially, this is an issue with the internet security settings on your machine (Internet Explorer > Internet Options > Security), and not a Flash Player issue.  I Googled "internet security settings prevented one or more files from opening' and it returned numerous hits.  I'm posting a few for you, however, I'm not endorsing any of them.  I recommend you search your self and select one you feel comfortable with.

  • My iphone 4s will not allow me to open any apps that I have downloaded. I have tried a few things but still will not allow me to open. Shows they are open once pushing the home button twice. Please help!

    My iphone 4s will not allow me to open applcations that I have downloaded. I have tried a few things but still will not allow me to open. Shows they are open once pushing the home button twice. Please help!

    Pressing the Home button twice does not show you what apps are running. It shows you what apps were recently used.
    Download a free app from the App Store. Once it downloads, your other apps should work properly again.

  • Version 3.6.6 and Internet explorer will not load sites, so I reloaded the older 3.6.3 of firefox and websites load fine. Internet Explorer still will not load. The error message corresponding with 3.6.6 was that there were problems with the proxy serve

    Upgraded to 3.6.6 and no sites loaded, error in proxy server. Internet explorer will not load either. Reloaded firefox 3.6.3 and sites load fine, but internet explorer still will not load. I was only able to connect to yahoo messenger when websites were not loading.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I upgraded to 3.6.6

    I have a problem with Firefox loading. It will not load and it says Firefox is using a proxy that refuses connection. Check with your network administrator. How do I get Firefox to work. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it twice. Any help would be great thanks.

    WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO DOWNLOAD A MOVIE THAT I HAVE A DIGITAL COPY FOR IT GIVES ME A MESSAGE about purchasing a hd version vs the sd version

    Hello everyone,
    I was having the exact same, irritating, problem.  The only way I was able to work around this lovely little quirk was to redeem the code on my iPod touch.  I would guess it would also work on any apple touch pad device.  I only had to input the code once and it began downloading.  I was then able to go back to my iTunes on PC and it began downloading there too.
    *Sidenote: Be sure to uncheck the "Download HD when available" option.
    I hope this works and helps the rest of you.

    Just use a different browser. Are the files on the DVD just HTML files? If so, then right click on the HTMl file (Control-Click if you don't have a two button mouse) and pick Open With... and point it to another browser. Firefox, Camino (what I currently use), Opera, etc.
