My mac machine has firefox installed and updating is not possible as connecting to the server message comes and updates never occur.
I get a message that updates are available. When I click to get updates , i get a window that updating firefox and connecting to the update server. Even after long time, the process goes on . Updates never get installed. My version installed is 4.0.1 on Apple Mac Book Pro.
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 disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
* Firefox 7.0.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

even not after 35 MinutesThere is nothing wrong with either the u0pdate server or the process, It is working for millions of people.
However some people have issues caused by firewalls and other security software that they have installed to "protect their privacy" yet others have add-ons that cause the process to fail. The question is which is you. -
How do I disable firefox off line it will not let me connect to the web
how do I disable firefox off line, it will not let me connect to the web
Go into settings and reset all network connections. Then restart your device by holding the power and home button until the Apple logo appears. You will not lose any data. When the device restarts connect to your wireless network.

An error has occured while updating software. Connecting to the server is slow and games etc only run for 60 seconds
Have you tried resetting your iPad? You may have to restore again if there was a problem.
Try the reset first.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -

i have just switched from a PC and installing my googlemail account onto my Macbook pro. I can successfully see my calendar and contacts but my mail will not connect. i get an error message - can not connect to the server. Any ideas please?
Neil,
I don't use Apple's Mail client (I use MS Outlook) but setting up your Gmail account should be fairly straightforward. Just make certain that you have your settings correct.
For your incoming server, be sure to use the "map.gmail.com" server, using SSL, using port "993" (usually the default).
For your outgoing server, be sure to use the "smtp.gmail.com" server, override the default port and use port "465" and use SSL to connect and make sure that you enter your email address and password to access the SMTP server.
If you've already set up your account with these settings, you may need to Google "gmail setup apple mail" and find the Google document relating to same.
Good luck,
Clinton

I cannot update, it just says its connecting to the server and does nothing but sit there.
(1) -Firefox keeps crashing for no reason. (2) -I am offered an update but when I say yes to update, the window shows that my MacBook Pro is trying to connect to the server. However, this goes on for hour after hour and never actually connects, or downloads the update. I have also a MacBook Air, which shows the same symptoms.
If you have 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

* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

HT4519 I have a yahoo email account and i keep getting an "error connection to the server failed"
The email account i have always used on my ipad mini is through yahoo. Now i keep getting an error "connection to the server failed" when trying to access my email.
its a common message but could be due to several possible causes
try this
close the mail app by double tapping the home button, swipe the screen until you see the large icon of the mail app. Swipe the app up and off the screen to close. Tap the home button to return to home screen. Open mail app again.
if that didn't work, then...
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
Unplug your wifi router for 5-10 minutes and at the same time reset settings on the ipad
settings/general/reset/reset all settings
(no data will be lost) -
My connection to the sever has failed.
OK...update... I looked in General/About/Diagnostics & Usage Data and noticed a bunch of notifications sent with the extension .metriclogs
So, I put that in the support search here and someone said to 'reset' with the power button andoff switch, it rebooted and worked fine! I am connected again. Their other suggestion was to consider uninstalling and reinstalling Facebook. Likely the update it gave the other day messed things up... -
Printer cannot connect to the server when "checking for update". Can't setup eprint.
I have an Officejet 4620 All-in-one working wireless. It prints, scans and sends and receives faxes well. After setting up a fixed IP address, I started to get this problem. I test the wireless connection pressing the wireless button and report says everthing's fine. I'm using Windows 7 64 bit SP1.
This is how I configured IPv4:
IP Address 10.0.0.250
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 10.0.0.67
Preferred DNS Address 10.0.0.67
Alternate DNS Address
WINS Server 0.0.0.0
Secondary WINS Server 0.0.0.0doghaus,
Change your preferred DNS server to 8.8.8.8 and your alternate to 8.8.4.4.
Let me know if that works for you.
