My software update no longer connects to the server and i have know idea why 10.5.8 please help
My software update say's it cannot connect to the server ...why what has happened ?now i can't upgrade it's really frustrating.
Is this an ongoing problem or did it just happen one time? If one time, there may have just been a problem on the Apple end, and you should try again at a later time. I just tried it and it worked.

This is my first new apple product. The viewing screen on my laptop has three long cracks along the sides and I have no idea why!
Take it to an Apple store or AASP.

When I open iTunes I get the error message 42408.
I have googled and tried various solutions including
- uninstalling, downloading and reinstalling. I have done that about 5 times.
- sending the desktop icon to the rubbish bin and recreating a shortcut.
- de-authorising the audible account. My computer goes thru the de- authorisation process and says that the account is deauthorised then when I go to re-authorise under Advanced all that is showing is to de-authorise the account. Weird.
- contacted a tech guy locally and he has no clue. He's thinking it's probably a conflicting software problem. Obviously.
I have to uninstall the iTunes program just so I can use the internet as the new version slows/freezes everything and makes doing anything on my computer ridiculous.
Everything on my computer runs fine when Itunes is uninstalled. Great. not.
I would appreciate some further guidance as unfortunately iTunes seems to have complete control over my life. LOL! Basically if iTunes fails the rest follows... It's a dominoe effect...Update:
I contacted Apple Support and they agreed to waive the $40.00 tech support charge this one time which was very nice condsidering their update caused major problems with my computer. I realise I don't have to accept the updates but when they are released world wide to the public I do expect them to work relatively smoothly.
To cut a long story short after following the tech support advice and uninstalling and reinstalling itunes 10.5 for the seventh time and more than a week of going in circles and days spent away from my business trying to fix the problem - I gave up. Because, as a non computer geek, (no offense - I think cg's are amazing) what I need is a functioning computer and phone to run my business that can be both relied on - all the time. That is what I paid for and expected when I bought Apples' very smart iPhone - I did not expect to be plagued by an update to a program that causes chaos for over 7 days. (And to be frank I've had problems with iTunes for the whole time I have been using it. From importing cd's to purchasing problems. gah!)
I may be one tiny person in a very large universe but I believe a certain standard can and should be expected when handing over hard earned cash to a company with a good reputation.
I'm very disappointed with Apple.
Unfortunatley they have lost a customer...
This is how I fixed the problem:
Yesterday I bought a new smartphone - the Samsung Galaxy phone uses the Android Market and the Kies program. The phone is as good as if not better than the iPhone. The Kies program runs very smoothly on my computer. Downloading Apps is a breeze. My new phone is about the same size as the iPhone and a tad lighter.
Problem solved!
As a side note - I will now save about $250.00 per year on my new prepaid phone plan with Boost compared to staying with my previous post-paid plan. I also get unlimited standard national calls in Australia plus unlimited texting too! Not bad for $40.00 a month.
While this solution worked for me it may not suit everybody. -
When I type my email address in the "To:" field, a random name comes up next to it as "Holidays in United States". This just started happening out of the blue and I have no idea why. Does anyone else have any idea?
Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

Since updating my ipad2 to ios 6, I have not been receiving my yahoo email messages. I went into the yahoo account but the incoming section does not appear, only the outgoing mail. Any suggestions?
You may also want to just wait a day or so. There seems to be randomly persistent issues with yahoo mail. NO idea if it's totally tied to iOS6 or not, but Yahoo was having issues before the software upgrade. I went through 2 periods where my 2 separate yahoo accounts wouldn't download mail for about a day or so before it resolved itself.
I simply went to the main yahoo site, which puts me on the mobile site and accessed my mail via the web in the mean time. -
Whenever I try to save a file as a PDF, it tells me that it can't save, because the file is open somewhere else. I don't have anything else open. I have also tried different files and they all say the same thing. Help.
Given there are so many problems and removed features in Pages 5, why not just continue using Pages '09?

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:
The file “AppleMobileDeviceSupportDelta.pkg” couldn’t be found on the server “swcdn.apple.com”.
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! -
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 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

My phone downloaded the update but it won't install it, it keep saying I'm no longer connected to the Internet and I am I'm under wifi at home what should I do?
Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Who can shed some light on my ongoing connection problem.
After upgrading my iPad Air with IOS 7.06, I could no longer connect to the internet.
I have 2 MacBooks Air, 1 ipad mini and one iPhone 4S running on the same network, and they are all connected to the net and function well.
So I cleaned up the ipad completely, installed the latest firmware and reinstalled my apps : no connection.
I tried all things of resets and forgets. No result.
I have been fondling with my Airport Extreme 5 , but that did not help much.
This morning I went to a neighbor , hooked my ipad air on his network, typed the password and the thing all worked fine.
I have tried to connect the ipad air as an ethernet client, but that did not work. „Not enough power“ was the statement
Ideas anyone ?Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work. Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
Et voila.... everything is back in working order,
Regards form Curacao, Dutch Caribean.

# Question
I am informed by FF that there are updates. When I click on them the window just says it's trying to connect to the server and never does. I am never able to update and I believe FF is now up to 3.6.17.
I have a Mac Powerbook with 10.4.11 and FF 3.6.13.
Joel E. Pittenger cell: 314-724-8820That is because that Firefox 3.6.x version has been released later than the Firefox 4 version.
If you have problems with updating 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
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

My iphone will not sync to itunes. It will connect to the computer but will not show up anywhere in itunes. PLEASE HELP!!
Hey there Kellee,
It sounds like the device drivers for your iPhone are working in Windows, but the phone is not showing in iTunes. You should be able to get that showing again with the steps in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
Start with these three steps, and there are more in the article if you need them.
1. Update iTunes
Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. In iTunes, select "Check for updates" in the Help menu.
2. Check the USB cable
Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might support only charging those products (and not transmitting data) or they might work only with the product with which they were sold. Using one of these cables to sync could cause issues. If you are using a third-party case, such as an extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
iOS devices require Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows XP: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Open the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel and verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program" (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click "Programs and Features"). Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type Control Panel,and press Return. Click "Uninstall a program". Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below:
Reinstall iTunes for Windows XP
Reinstall iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
If after reinstalling iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support is still not installed, follow steps in Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling
