New Build ... Windows Update Never Shows Updates. Checking for Updates just goes round and round

I've got a brand new installation of Server 2008 Standard, full with GUI and I've setup the server with a public IP so I can get to the internet. Even tested getting to Dell Support website.
But when checking for updates the "Checking for updates" just goes round and round. It never stops and shows me what updates are available.
I'm trying to create an image of this build for testing purposes.
I ran into the same issue when I was doing a VM test and only had a private IP. I thought I wasn't able to get to Windows Update using our internal proxy with the private IP. But now there seems to be more of an issue.
I've already setup the Windows Update service the same way we have for 2003 and 2008 ... Automatic and started.
Any suggestions?

Please run the system update readiness tool.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

the common thing here seems to be that news type videos crash and entertainment type don't. also videos seem more likely to crash on internet portals like yahoo

There are only two things that you must do to connect a device to calendars:
1) In settings>icloud, you must log in, WITH THE CORRECT ID/PASSWORD, and
2) Turn on calendars on the same page.
You said that the iphone 4 and ipad **used** to automatically sync. Do they no long sync?

I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

I am using an apple TV to show a slide show which is sent via WiFi from a mini computer. The slide show repeats for a few hours and then stops and shows "no signal". What's going on- and how do I get the show to cycle indefinitely?

It should be under the Store menu on your computer's iTunes :
If you are using your phone then does it show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on it for downloading ?

I am trying to hook my macbook pro to a projector, which has a VGA cable. I bought a VGA to HDMI adapter, but whenever I hook it up, the screen on my macbook just goes black and I can't make it do anything else or even show up on the projector.

My laptop is still on; it just has a black screen that I can't get rid of without shutting down the computer by holding the power button.

Hey there lynmrigg,
It sounds like have an HDMI to VGA adapter connecting your MacBook Pro and your projector but the screen on your computer goes black and no image appears on the projector. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article to help resolve or isolate the issue here, named:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Whenever I try to open a new tab, the tab just goes blank and says "New tab". I can't open any websites. What do I do?

It started very suddenly. The tab just went blank when I tried to open a new one, and then just continued every time I open a new tab. It loads the selected website for a milisecond, and then just goes blank and says "New tab". In my own language of course. I tried reinstalling, rebooting and nothing seems to do it. I have Tab Mix Plus as a tab manager.
What can I do? Please help.

That did the trick. But I had to start Firefox in safe mode, because it just went to the blank page where the Troubleshooting page should have been, of course. Thanks for the help anyway. Now I just need to get my old addons back.

I can't access my Yahoo mail on Iphone 4s over wifi at work. "Checking for mail" is going on forever. Any idea?

You cannot change the incoming mail ports on the iPhone, As KiltedTim mentions, if it works elsewhere on 3g and wifi, then it almost certainly is your employers firewall blocking access.

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/windows-update-error-80072efd#1TC=windows-7
And for error 80244018, in addition to solutions mentioned in the first reply, you can also try this, in start button, type "services.msc", enter, locate "Background intelligent Transfer Services" and "Windows Update", stop these two services, then
clear C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder, restart the two services.
