LG Spectrum - rejects software update & can't recognize when phone is horizontal

Anyone else with a Spectrum having an issue downloading the latest software update?  When I try to download it I get an error (which, sorry I did not write down...and when I go to Software update again it will search for an update but then goes back to the menu and doesn't go any further).
Also, when I tilt my phone to text/Facebook/whatever horizontally, the display still shows horizontally - doesn't swap to the wider keyboard.  I've powered down but have not removed the battery (which I will try shortly).  Any suggestions?  Thx. 

Try a search of this community forum to see if anyone else had posted a similar problem with the LG Spectrum. I think there were a few discussion threads a month or so ago.

  • 5800: Software updater can't find phone

    So yeah, the Nokia Software Updater can't find my phone, and the "in-phone" updater gives me an Connection Error. Nokia PC Suite detects my phone just fine, although the Connection Center doesn't.
    I'm connecting through a USB directly to the computer.
    Any tips? I've updated everything, from drivers to software, and also reinstalled everything twice already. I'm just out of solutions.

    If you've the latest firmware version, you have to wait till a new update comes available for your device.

  • N95 Nokia Software Updater can't find phone, but P...

    Hi,
    The Lastest version of Nokia Software Updater can't find my phone(connected via USB). But Nokia PC Suite connects to my phone. Very weird.
    I'm running windows vista business, Dell Laptop.
    I have checked(using product code:0548763), and my N95 Firmware can be upgraded to v12.#, currently firmware is v11.#
    I have disabled my windows firewall, and unistalled my McAffee anti-virus.
    I think the issue might be with vista, because i successfully upgraded my phone on windows XP from v10.# to v11.#
    But then PC Suite shouldn't work, on vista? I tried adding NSU to data execution protection exclusion list.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Dasdk

    i dont think the problem is with PC OS ..
    i have xp and i cant upgrade my N 95 ..
    it sometime shows Phone not recognized and sometime it sshows unable to retreive phone info....
    this update thing sucks man !!

  • Software Update can't connect to server -- error

    I have Tiger 10.4.7 on a 600mH white G3 dual USB iBook. When I try to use the SoftwareUpdate function off the Apple Menu to check for any updates to Tiger, the "checking for new software" window starts up all right but immediately the error message window appears with "Software Update can't connect to the update server."
    I'm otherwise connected to the internet all right and everything is working. I tried trashing the com.apple.softwareupdate.plist file from the Library/Preferences and the user/Library/Preference/ and restarting, but this didn't do it either.
    I've had this problem before and it has "become" fixed, but I don't know exactly what sequence does it. Any help, please?
    PM9600/233 (OS 8.6); G3 white iBook (10.4.7)   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    No, I didn't try creating a new user, in part because once before doing that only made things more complicated and didn't solve any problems.
    Software Update simply started working again. No idea why.
    However, even after several days, Safari is still reporting that it cannot connect to the server for any URL put in. I've restarted Safari, reset Safari, manually emptied all caches, removed cookies. All very odd!
    Firefox is working just fine.

  • Software Update can't connect to the update server.

    I have an iMac 8-1 with OS is Mac OS X, version 10.7, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and 3 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory.
    When I try to update software I get this error message:

    Software Update can’t connect to the update server. Make sure you’re connected to the Internet, and then try again.
    I don't know how to "connect to the update server" but I guarantee that I AM connected to the internet!

  • Itunes won't install-"Apple Software Updates Can Not Be Removed"

    Cutting right to the problem. I currently have quicktine 6.5 installed and working. iTunes was completely removed. When doing search, nothing shows up. In Add & Remove Programs, however, iTunes is still listed (37 megs). How do I get rid of it so I can re-install. When I try to install, I get message "Apple Software Updates Can Not Be Removed, Contact Administrator". When I try to upgrade Quicktime to 7.1, I get "An Older Version Of Quicktime Can Not Be Removed". I would like to completely remove all traces of itunes and then try to reinstall.
    generic   Windows XP  

    okay.
    download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to remove the Installation configuration information for iTunes, Apple Software Update, and QuickTime:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    now use the following document as a guide to a manual removal of any leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
    Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
    reboot the PC and try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

  • HT1338 I cannot do any software update can someone explain me how to fix this ?

    I have a macbook pro with Mac OS x 10.6.8 and cannot do any software update can anyone help me ?

    Yes.  The description for Pages in the Mac App Store says 10.7.4 or later.  Mountain Lion is 10.8. 
    First, check this page (about Mountain Lion)
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    where it says Supported Models, to make sure your MacBook Pro model can run Mountain Lion.  If it can, get Mountain Lion instead of Lion.  It's $20, and there is no requirement to first install Lion before installing Mountain Lion.
    Before running the Mountain Lion Installer, it would be a good idea to run Disk Utility.  Select "Macintosh HD" in the sidebar and go to the First Aid tab.  Use Repair Disk Permission and then Verify Disk.  Don't be concerned about message that come up with Repair Disk Permission, but if any error is reported byVerify Disk, you need to fix that problem BEFORE installing a system upgrade.  Running these checks will help avoid problems, if there are any issues on your startup disk prior to running the upgrade.
    If your Mac has been running without restarting for a while, you should restart, THEN immediately run the Mountain Lion Installer.

  • HT1338 Software Update can't connect to the update server. Make sure you're connected to the Internet, and then try again

    I have been getting this message on MAC OS 10.6.3  "Software Update can’t connect to the update server. Make sure you’re connected to the Internet, and then try again". Internet is working fine for everything else. Updating to 10.6.8 and applying all the security updates and patches [directly downloading from the apple website] has not resolved the issue. Read somewhere about a software update enabler for 10.6, installed it, but not helping.. [not sure of the update server settings to be entered] .Is there no way to make the software update work from the Apple Start Menu??

    Problem solved.. Expired rules in Little Snitch caused the glitch

  • Software Update can't connect to the internet

    Hi everyone
    My iMac's software update can't seem to find my internet connection. It gives this message after trying to find new updates:
    *A networking error has occurred: timed out (-1001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again.*
    Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem.
    Then I can click either 'Network Diagnostics' - which always says I'm connected, or 'Quit'
    Is there some way I can get Software Update back online so that I don't have to manually download everything from the apple website??

    Hello Sasha:
    You can try something easy first. Trash a couple of preference files:
    com.apple.softwareupdate.plist
    com.apple.softwareupdate.nnnnnnnn.plist (where nnnnn is a bunch of numbers and letters)
    Restart.

  • Software Update can't connect to the internet after a new install of 10.6

    I had a clean install of 10.6 and after that the Software Update can't connect to the internet (the status bar hangs at the beginning and finally it prompts me the internet is not connected) while all my other applications can.
    Someone help me out?

    I am having exactly the same problem as well.. has anybody managed to solve this yet? I have uploaded Snow Leopard - try to connect to Software Update - the menu bar scans a little then stops and then an error saying 'Not connected to the internet'' but the connection is working fine!!
    Is this a SL issue? or just an overload with the Software Update programme? I cant do anything - no update for itunes/iphone software, etc.. most annoying.
    Look forward to seeing some good news and some answers to this one.
    Cheers

  • Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem....after firmware update

    I just bought a MBP w/Lion (10.7.4) and ran software update.  The first two items I updated were firmware for SMC (ver 1.5) and EFI (ver 2.7) and now my MBP says: "Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem."  However, I can connect to the Internet to surf the web just fine.  This is the only update I've made.  Can firmware be uninstalled?  If I reverted to the image on my external drive that I did with CCC prior to the update, would that fix it?

    Hi! i hope i'm able to explain what i worked out and what worked for me. I had the same message coming up "no internet connection, run network/internet diagnosis" etc etc. Internet connection was fine. What i finally did:
    Open airport, check internet, internet options ; with me, IPv6 was set as  this (the letters are in german order and not in a english order, sorry...):
    In system prefs, network/TCP/IP  IPv6 was set to "automatic":
    I did change the settings in Airport back to "Link Local" and Software Update worked immediately normal whithout restarting the computer.
    No idea what changed the settings; however i did run permission repairs beforehand with no connection to any problems, just as a normal kind of 'maintenance routine'.
    Hope this helps others, it worked for me.
    Cheers

  • Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem.

    The software update app fails with following error msgs. But all network functions fine.
    +A networking error has occurred: timed out (-1001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again.+
    +Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem.+
    Deleted the software update plist files in $HOME/Library/Preferences, $HOME/Library/Preferences/ByHost, and HD/Library/Preferences, as per some posts. no effect. Problem persists.
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks

    Same here
    The last update I managed to do without problems was +Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 5+ - since yesterday the update process has become much, much slower and when I try to install +Security Update 2009 005+ and +iTunes 9+, it fails, usually with the aforementioned error, but also sometimes with Error 400 or Error 600, IIRC.

  • "Software update can't check for updates because of a network problem" - help!

    Recently, when I perform a software update check on the pulldown Apple menu, I get this error:
    "Software update can't check for updates because of a network problem."
    The only problem is that my network works just fine. I use the internet and get emails without any problem. But I can't figure how I can fix Software Update.
    The only relevant updates have been for Glims and 1Password. Oh, and note the same problem trying to access the App Store; I just get a "Can't connect to the App Store" error.
    Any hints?

    I have to solve all my own problems.
    The problem was due to Little Snitch. Once I upgraded from 2.4.0 to 2.4.2, my system works swimmingly again.
    FIXED!
