"networking error" w/itunes, software update

This seems to be a problem I'm having throughout my system with iTunes, software update, etc. I CAN connect to the internet from the dock, but iTunes gives me "a networking error has occured (-1001.) Make sure you can connect to the internet, then try again." Safari has been down, but I reset Netscape as my default browser. Network diagnostics say everything looks good, but I'm still having problems. Any advice would be much appreciated
thanks,
Lauren
PowerPC G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

Once safari was reinstalled and set as the default browser, everything ran fine.

  • C Run Time error on Itunes Software Update.  Now I have No ITunes

    Running Windows XP.  The setup file for ITunes is incorrectly setting something and causing multiple run time errors when I try and run setup or relaunch ITunes.
    Is there a way to reload an older version and where do I get it.  Or where's the fix for the current ITunes push

    Usually, when I get the error message "Problem with Windows Installer Package" and then "QuickTime required", I just go back to using my old version. This time the old version got uninstalled and now I am iTunes-less!
    Let's try a standalone QuickTime.msi install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the QuickTime.msi to do a standalone QuickTime install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does an iTunes install go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    You probably have run out of space, I would delete (or move to an external drive) things that aren't being used as much.

  • Error message during software updates

    I am constantly receiveing the following error message during software updates. This time it happened with an HP printer update, but it has happened with iTunes and Safari as well. Does anyone know what I need to do?
    The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/GeneIOUSBCFSubclass.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update
    Thanks!

    Try using Help > Updates from one of your CS6 applications.
    When you return home, you might try uninstalling CS6 and reinstalling it again. It sounds like some stuff may have become corrupted.

    And whatmake you think this is going to help? The answer from local Nokia Care Pointwas: “if you hit the phone it might be the reason for this problems and we arenot responsible for warranty void for your Nokia phone blah blah – of course Idid not hit or throw the phone but never mind – the just don’t care. Thisproblems was described in details to Nokia Care Point Finland and the answerwas … “ we are very sorry, but you need to make a connection with your localNokia Care Point” ha ha – thank you very much, they were so helpful ! That’swhy I don’t want to call or connect Nokia anymore – no help at all! Sorry ifthis information is not good for you, but it is true! Don’t believed it : check THREAD ID:1-4N513T0 from 06.January and THREAD ID:1-4N0DM6A from 05. January. That’s why I need User help, notNokia help.

    Try rebooting your router and or cable modem. Unplug it/them for about 30 seconds and then plug back in. See if it works then. Reboot your iPad as well.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    There is no such thing as a "Factory Unlocked iPhone "
    They are either locked to a carrier who may at some stage offer unlocking
    or sold direct to a user by Apple (from their own Stores or online .)
    Those iPhones are NOT locked
    Where did you get your iPhone

    I downloaded the latest iTunes software update and it properly installed.  But,  I cannot close the update window showing it was completed and the blue completion bar is full but cannot cancel or close it either.  Any ideas on how to clear that out and close the window.  Tried to quit on both the big window and the software update title in the menu bar.  No luck.

    Tried that by shutting down via the power button only as the normal shutdown was nixed by the open window issue.  It did not help.  Found a very similar question in the discussions and it recommended "Force Quit".  That worked and the update works normal and the window is gone.  Thanks!

  • Just installed the latest iTunes software update and the extra images i had for my albums on iTunes have disappeared...Help?

    Just installed the latest iTunes software update (iOS 5.0.1) on my MacBook Pro, and the extra images i had placed on my album covers in the selected item box have disappeared, leaving just one image per track. Any ideas on how to restore would be most appreciated...

    Installing an iTunes update does not remove your media or personal files.
    Are the files actually missing off the computer, if so, you have a serious computer issue... not a software update issue.
    Regardless, use the backup of your media and other important files to put everything back.  You do have a backup, correct?

  • 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.

  • Safari, iTunes, software update iCal not connecting. Firefox is fine. Tried Proxies, but not sure what to do there. Only one box was checked, I unchecked it, and made no difference. Have also tried some other DNS numbers, nothing worked yet.

    Hi There,
    Safari, iTunes, software update iCal not connecting. Firefox is fine.
    I have found some archieved discussions about this, but none that went  into detail about how to fix problem using proxies - I don't really  understand what they are/ do.
    I went into the Proxies screen, Only one  box was checked, "Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)" I unchecked it, and made no  difference. There was also some stuff written in the "Bypass proxy settings for these hosts and domains" I deleated that and nothing different happened. Have also tried some other DNS numbers,  nothing worked yet.
    Any suggestions?

    I still have no idea what was wrong with Safari last week, but I opened it today, and its all working! Hurrah!
    Woohoo! I'm a great fan of things fixing themselves. Fingers crossed in New Zealand for no further problems.

  • Network Error when trying to update software

    I get new software notifications (safari, itunes, Mac os etc) but when I try to install I get the below error.
    'A network error has occurred: cannot open file (-3001). Make sure you are connected to the internet and try again'.
    The thing is my internet is working fine and I have tried rebooting numerous times but still get the same error. I was able to get round this for the safari update by downloaded directly from the apple website but would really like to get it sorted so I can download all the regular updates.
    You advise will be much appreciated

    I was having the same issue.... I could connect to the Internet without any problems using Safari, but Software Update could NOT connect, and reported the same network error Chidstar is getting.
    I rebooted, tried another user account - nothing helped. Then, I tried again out of sheer desperation an hour later, and Software Update worked!
    Now I wonder if it was just timing out too soon on the previous occasion... perhaps due to a slow network connection earlier in the day?
    Chidstar - I wonder if deleting your cache files might help? See this note: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23407?viewlocale=en_US
