Plugins won't update

Two of my plugins say that they need to be updated, but neither of them can be because they keep linking back to the update page. One is the Google Earth Plugin. And the other is the Unity Player.

Since I don't have those plugins, I'm not able to explore this first-hand. Perhaps it's just a temporary site problem???

  • "Plugin Check and Updates" won't work (been spinning for 20 minutes). And there's no way to ask for help.

    Many warnings are popping up today saying my Adobe plugin is out of date, yet when I go to the "plugin check" page and click "plugin status," it never loads. As in literally. And no search has brought up a solution. And Mozilla's solution is...to go to the "plugin check and updates" page. So, um. I'm in a vortex. Any suggestions? Is there a way to actually tell Mozilla about this problem? So far, I'm still in the faq loop, with no hope of technical support. ...help? (ps: Windows Vista, have used Firefox since it was first available).

    - You can manually save and install the update:
    Flash 16:
    https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
    Direct link:
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_16_plugin.exe
    - the Add-on tab will show the newly updated Flash 16 (no more "update now" link)
    - But the "Check Your Plugins" page still fails to work properly, it does not recognize the Flash 16 update', and will not check to see if other plug-ins need updating'''

  • My Sony VAIO VPCL213FX won't update at all?

    For some reason my Sony VAIO won't update anything. The system is VPCL213FX, and the funny thing is I can update the drivers, windows, java and everything else, but not update VAIO at all. The things I need to update is VAIO Care update 8.4.3.07161, Media Gallery Update 2015 (which says I don't have it anymore?), Picture Motion Broswer Edition User and plugin (2011)

    Hi Aznlife9, 
    Welcome to Sony Community!
    We're sorry to hear this. It's possible that there are apps or programs that stop you in uploading these updates. Try the following steps below:
    Boot the computer to Safe Mode then install all the Vaio care updates.
    Go to this link and follow the steps carefully.
    I hope that these will help you.

  • Playsists selected for syncing no longer exist? ipod won't update

    My new ipod won't update because it says that playlists I've selected for syncing no longer exist. For this reason I can't get any of my music onto my ipod and I don't understand what I am supposed to do to fix this
    dell inspiron   Windows XP  

    Hi guys, I've been having the same problem. Specifically, when I try to transfer songs from iTunes to my iPod I get the following error message: "Songs in the iPod "My iPod" cannot be updated because all the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist". I did some searching around at this site, and found that one possible problem is that my library is larger than my iPod's capacity, so I have to eliminate some songs. I did this, but I still get the same error message.

  • Certain apps won't update or download on any device.

    I've searched for two weeks to no avail. I've seen similar problems posted but nothing quite like this. I have an iPhone 5s iOS 8.2, a 4th Gen iPad iOS 8.2 and Mac Mini Late 2014 OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. It all started with wanted to download the Pages app. My iPad is old enough it wouldn't let me download it for free so I initiated the download on my iPhone and then promptly cancelled. I then tried to download Pages from "the cloud" onto my iPad. It downloaded 3/4 of the way and failed stated that the app could not be downloaded at this time with two options to continue: done and retry. And now there are a handful of apps that will fail somewhere in the download and some apps that are already installed on the devices that won't update. Any app that has previously failed WILL download over cellular network on the iPhone 5s. I've tried four separate location with WIFI access and these same apps will not download. I've cleared network statistics, restored the iPhone to factory defaults, changed Apple ID password, tried a different Apple ID, and trying to download apps on Mac Mini to sync to iPhone/iPad over tethered connection. The only partial fix I have discovered is to start download over cellular network and switch to WIFI download. Please... any ideas. I feel I may have left out some steps I might have taken so please feel free to ask any questions.

    I had this problem and solved it by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
    Note: This will not delete any apps, songs, videos, or podcasts from your phone. It will only reset your wallpapers, brightness, bluetooth, contact sorting, network preferences (still remembers networks though), etc.  It's a bit annoying to go update all these back to how yo like, but much less annoying than a full restore.
    DO NOT press Erase All Content and Settings. This will delete everything and you'll have to restore from iTunes.

  • IMac display issues: black icons and folders, doubled up files in finder windows, programs won't update

    HELP!
    I'm hoping someone can help with my iMac 27" purchased in 2010.  From a previous discussion I started a year ago, I have had virtually nothing but trouble with it.  After the internal hard drive crashing, I was able to install OS X on an external drive and used it for a good 8 months to drive my iMac and I took it to an expert who has replaced it with a 3tb HDD, but at some point the display has gone crazy.  I am not certain if it is hardware, i.e. graphics card or video but I'll describe the symptoms and add some pics to see if anyone has seen this before and knows what the problem may be.
    1.     90% of the screen was covered with white with just a portion of the desktop showing through.
            (This happened when I tried to reinstall OS X on the old HDD and the new one, but didn't happen when using OS X install disc)
    2.     Files, folders, photos and some icons on the dock go black
    3.     Files and photos double up when in Finder.  When I'm viewing photos, it shows them but all the previous panes and the photos are jumbled behind the
            photos.
    4.     Anything I open in Preview is completely black, but ColourSync Utility opens everything fine.
    5.     Programs won't update.  They will download onto my iMac but won't update.  Some say, because I don't have OS X 10.6.8 others just won't open.
            Including Google Chrome, opens with two tabs open but when I open a third tab the rainbow wheel just turns.  Skype won't open just gives a failure
            report.
    6.     10.6.8 Update Combo downloads but when I restart the screen is covered in white - as in 1. and I have to reinstall OS X 10.6.2 to get the screen to               clear but then all the above problems continue.
    7.     Sometimes videos don't display in Youtube, or the entire page other than the video player is covered in rainbow lines.
    8.     Some buttons are blacked out on selection pages, i.e. system preferences, or saving screens
    9.     Photos opened in FB go upside down and flicker all over the page as my mouse runs over them.
    10.   Photos won't upload into internet editing programs.
    I can't find anyone who has had the same issue in all of the discussions I've looked at, but it sounds like I have a video problem, but I wondered if it might be a software problem with flash or something.  Or I have something malicious on my computer.
    I also have an iphone 5 that faulted with the iTunes and USB icons and won't fix after trying one of those R-Sims, and I wondered if somewhere along the line it may have even had a virus/trojan/malware that has infected my external drive and then my internal drive.  A reason I have thought that is because I have used my daughter's MacPro laptop and plugged in my external drive and I noticed the windows in hers were starting to do the same thing.
    And on top of all that, my fans didn't work for over a year and I had to place an external fan at the back of the computer or it would overheat and shut down, but after resetting the SMU it started working again, but it is very noisy. I have tried to download SMC Fan Control and although it downloads to the HDD, it won't open.
    Sorry its such a long post, I do hope with all of this information someone can help me.
    Thanks so much.

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    *Soon after, I installed Quake Wars, L4D 1, 2, Mass Effect 2, Need For Speed: Undercover, Mozilla Firefox and *Sophos Enterprise AV*. Approximately a week after installation, I began to experience malfunctions varying greatly*
    Macs get grumpy when running anti virus software. Disable or completely uninstall Sophos A/V and see if that makes a difference. A/V software on a Mac will slow the drive down more and more as time goes on.
    Also, check the vendor sites for each 3rd party software you installed to make sure they are compatible with 10.6.x
    The "hard reboots" are a result of the system freezing due to incompatible or outdated software.

    I have changed the I phone 5 twice both times like for like & still problem is they're
    Please can anyone advise or help
    Very much appreciated  

    If you are using the same apple id on other devices and each of the other devices are updating the same apps sucessfully then you have an issue going on with the device being what's known as being a bit 'glitchy' What I would suggest you do is first to shut down the device completely by simply pressing on the sleep wake button, (power button on the top) for a period of 5-6 seconds untill you get the message to slide bar to shut down. Once the device is shut down and the wheel has stopped spinning, you are then free to restart the device.
    Once the device is restarted then please go to settings>itunes and app store Once at this area of settings you can then click on the apple id is showing there you then can click on the apple id going to where it reads sign out, Once you've signed out go right back to that same area and sign back in with the same apple id.
    What this is doing is simply logging you out and then back in with the same device.
    Good luck Friend.

  • My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open iTunes and when I click "check for updates" it asks if I want to update to iTunes 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. What's wrong?

    My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open up itunes and when I click on "check for updates" it asks if I want to download iTunes version 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. Sometimes uptop the loading bar will appear but for only a split second. I have tried restarting, shutting down, I cannot figure out why it won't download. What's happening and how do I fix it?

    Try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

  • My Apple TV won't update and I can't sign into iTunes

    I have the second generation Apple TV which is due an upgrade of software but it won't update. I kept getting a message saying that it wouldn't work.

  • Firefox "stops responding messages" frequently + not sure what the plugins listed under updated ones as "unknown plugin" and " ?research "mean

    hi there...
    1) firefox has been giving me problems for several months where it just stops responding, meaning I click on one of the 5 tabs open then it gives me msg "firefox not responding", also happens when I am working with xsitepro website builder development software stops me from moving around the xsitepro program and firefox again says firefox not responding
    Note: However, when firefox gives me "not responding msg" it responds after a few minutes and gives me access the tab i clicked on but then happens again when i try to click on another tab
    2) went to a page that firefox listed plugins http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ and there are several plugins listed that I do not know what it means below the ones it says it is updated, those are listed as " unknown plugin and ?research "
    Not sure what does this mean as far as those plugins that are listed unknown and research. I did a search to see if I could find those plugins under addons but did not see them listed so are these plugins being used and installed on my firefox browswer and if so why are they hidden if they are installed or are they not installed at all

    Okay, that's a lot of information. I think the key part for support purposes is this:
    ''TheDrive [[#question-1057777|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    Just try yourself. Setup new profile and work a few days or weeks on any theme(s). Do not close tabs (at least ones, which you wanna explore once more). If your PC has 2-4Gb of RAM you will notice FF stopped to save session info after you will have a 50-100 tabs opened (you'll see sessionstore.js or session-backups\*.js script files reached 15-20-30MB long and stopped to change and it's LastMod date/time(s) are frozen) ...<br><br>
    ... I've noticed FF started to hang more and more and checked previous.js, recovery.bak, recovery.js was last modified on Apr, 14 but today is Apr, 16! I've lost one more hour trying to save tabs, even installed Session Manager, promised session saving on user demand but after a half hour of action against hanging FF, plugin showed me that I have NO ONE tab to save. I've managed to copy a few URLs to the text file before FF have completely fallen.</blockquote>
    You're not the first person to report that the sessionstore.js or recovery.js file stopped updating with new activity. However, it's rare enough that I can't recall whether we have gotten to the bottom of it in a previous thread. I'll see whether I can search it up.
    Meanwhile, someone might be able to come up with a way to watch for problems and extract some debug information, but I'm not personally familiar with such tools.

  • IPhone 5s won't update to iOS 8.0.2

    My iPhone 5s won't update to iOS 8.0.2. I had been using beta versions of iOS 8 but even though there is a '1' in the Software Update box, it tells me my software is up to date (iOS 8).
    However, I also get messages telling me my current iOS will expire in x days. I now have dozens of apps waiting to update, telling me I have to upgrade to iOS 8.0.1 or later.
    I've tried to manually install iOS 8.0.2 but I get a message saying the firmware isn't compatible.
    Any ideas?

    Ask in the developer forum; someone there should be able to help you.

    What in particular didn't you like about Firefox 6?
    You can undo a lot of changes, either via changing settings or prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page or via extensions.

    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.

    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Tags won't update

    Hello,
    I'm a DJ and I use Traktor as my DJ software and iTunes to manage my MP3 collection.
    Sometimes when I update a genre i Traktor, iTunes won't update the tag. Sometimes it does. I checked the file in another software, and the change is there, but not in iTunes.
    I downloaded a script called "Refresh", but it won't work. I removed the track and re:added it. Same problem.
    This happens every 20 MP3s or so, but it's a major problem because I use Smart Playlists and want that genre change to be updated.
    Please help me with this problem!
    Raffe Bergwall
    <Edited by Host>

    I know I could always rip them back to my computer and then use a seperate program, but I'd like to fix this problem because it's easier in iTunes
    Any reason you do not keep your music in iTunes and update it there?
    What will you do when your iPod crashes (it will) and you need to Restore it, therefore deleting everything on it?
    I used to be able to update genre tags, however it won't allow me
    No idea. Can't say I have seen this before.

  • I have firefox16.0 and would like to update to the most recent version (19). But my Firefox won't update

    Hi there
    I've got windows vista on my computer, and am using Firefox 16.0. Have been for a while now, ever since it was installed a year ago or so.
    The thing is, Firefox won't update to the latest version (currently version 19 I believe), neither automatically or manually. I've tried everything, including using the "help" function. The window only says it's Firefox 16.0, but when I click on "update", the page just refresh and that's it, nothing else happens. I've checked all other settings, and it looks like all the right boxes are ticked, including "update Firefox automatically".
    Coming to think about it, on my wife's computer, we are always told about new updates for Firefox. On this one, no update alert of any sorts since it was installed a while ago (and again, all the right boxes being ticked)
    Please can anybody help? Should i reinstall Firefox altogether?
    Thanks for your help
    Frankie
