QuickTime will not connect to server for updates, load Guide

Since I upgraded to QT 7.1.2 (and iTunes 6.05) QuickTime has stopped connecting to the server to update. Also, when launching QT the window says "Loading..." forever and the Guide never comes up. When I try to click on the "Launch Guide In Player" button on the quicktime/win.html page I get "Error -2048: the file is not a movie file".
Using ZoneAlarm Pro version:6.5.722.000 and I've turned off Cookie Control, Ad Blocking, and Mobile Code Control (embeds, mime, scripts and js,etc) so that should cover everything.
The old(er) version of QT (7.0.something) worked fine (don't think the updates feature worked as I had to get 7.1.2 manually - just never checked it as it was supposed to be automatic updates)
Any help with this?

If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* 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 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox 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.

  • My IPad 2 also will not connect to ITunes for  updates and purchased apps.  It shows Waiting for several minutes then says it cannot connect to ITunes.  All other wifi functions are working fine on it.

    I see this is happening to a lot of folks today.  Has anyone found a solution?

    It is not properly connected to the network.
    Make sure location is set correctly
    DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
    Try ethernet
    Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks

  • I have an ipod classic original and it will not connect to itunes for me to sync new music

    i have an ipod classic original and it will not connect to itunes for me to sync new music

    The first two generations of iPod (that used a standard 6-pin Firewire cable) don't work with Windows. There was a workaound through MusicMatch for the second-gen, but I have no idea if that software is still available, or even if it will install on a modern copmputer (Windows ME, 2000 and XP era).
    If instead of original, you mean the first model that got labelled as "classic," with a dock connector, if you describe exactly what appears on both the iPod and the PC screen when you plug it in, somebody might be able to help you. My first recommendations would be to (1)try a different USB cable, to see if that's the problem, and then (2) try synching with a different computer, to see if your PC is the problem. If neither of those result in success, then the community here can help you to try troubleshooting the iPod itself.

  • Ipad will not connect to server

    IPAD WILL NOT CONNECT TO SERVER. WHEN I CHECK WI-FI SETTINGS I GET THE FOLLOWING MSG'S. "FORGET THIS NETWORK" AND "YOUR IPAD WILL NO LONGER JOIN THIS WI-FI NETWORK. WHAT'S UP?

    That should be the router not giving confirmation about the password. Try unplugging everything from the roauter and then replugging it. I also get this problem with hotspots by Alwyas On. Extremely annoying.

  • Update will not connect to server, continuous lagging and questionable security?

    I actually have a few questions. I recently switched to Firefox from IE9 for a few reasons. My IT Security professor mentioned Firefox was safer than most and an online article suggested it was faster than IE9. So I decided to give it a chance; the previous version was too slow and wouldn't play any video so I downloaded version 4. It worked great for about 3-4 weeks and now I'm having the following problems:
    1. Every time Firefox says it has to update, the window pops up to connect to server. All it does is continuously try to connect (nothing happens). Now, one time I left it open all day to see if it would and that night a window popped up and said to restart Firefox to complete. I did what it said and it just started trying to connect to the server again.
    2. When I first downloaded Firefox 4 it was fast and almost never lagged. Now, it seems as if every page I try to connect to lags. In fact, sometimes I have to close it down and restart. It's actually normal pages I open everyday like school, mail, weather and typical Yahoo pages. Nothing has changed on my end, so I'm unaware of why this is happening now.
    3. I'm really concerned with the security issues. I still have IE9; recently, because of lagging and security issues, I've tried switching between the two to check cleaning details. I'll run my cleaner after a day of IE9 and do the same for Firefox (same typical searches). With IE9, there's not much to clean, maybe 17-18 mb's at most (cookies, typical stuff) and never had a virus. The CPU monitor also stays calm. On Firefox, I get 160-210 mb's every time. The CPU gauge fluctuates constantly and I've had three viruses.
    I'm not sure if it's because the updates will not take or what, but I've had to switch back to IE9 because of these problems. I really enjoyed Firefox (when it worked); the interface was easy to navigate and use and in the beginning was very fast. I miss it! But because of these issues, I have to take a break until they are fixed. I can't afford to have my computer crash. Please help!

  • IPod touch 4th gen will not connect to anything after update. Please help.

    Ok, so I haven't updated my 4th gen ipod touch since I bought it, which was well over a year ago. Just recently, apps have started to force me to update to the newest iOS and many updates require it too, so I finally decided to update and get it over with. Well, I synced everything from my ipod and then updated. Well, to my horror after I came back I found out that even though I had CLEARLY synced my apps. They were gone on BOTH my ipod and my computer.
    Not to say I was really ticked off or anything, but I had almost 15 GB or so of just apps on my 32 GB itouch. I read somewhere that I can go back and reinstall all my apps but that would be a PAIN. Turns out there aren't many others ways to go about doing it so I was left with little choice. Well, once again, I ran into the problem that absolutely nothing would connect on my ipod touch.
    So, I have two problems actually:
    1. Is there anyway besides reinstalling apps for me to get back all the apps I had prior to updating my ipod? And in the future, how can I prevent itunes from deleting my apps when I clearly have them synced before updating?
    2. Why won't my ipod touch connect to anything wifi related? When I open the app store it just simply loads. And it will continue loading forever; I had it "loading" for about an hour until I decided to come here. Same goes with iCloud, facetime, Safari - just anything that has to do with connecting to my wifi.
    Things I've done: I've restarted my ipod once already, I've reset my router as well, and I've also tried to disconnect from my router then reconnect. None of them have worked so far. Any help would be appreciated.

    - If synced media like apps and music are not in the iTunes library on the computer one which you update they will not be on the iPod after the update since the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media..
    This is discussed in
    iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
    - For the wifi problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    - Restore from backup. See:

    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Does your problem have anything to do with Apple's Time Capsule Wi-Fi router?  The reason I asked is that you posted your question in the section for that.  If not, you might get better response by posting your question in the appropriate iPhone section.  When you do, you should make clear what you mean by "open or load my aps".  I can think of more than one thing that could mean.

  • Latest update will not connect to server

    For several weeks I keep getting prompted to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox, but when I select to download, it app just sits there and spins it's wheel forever.

  • IPhone 4 will not activate with Apple for update

    No matter how hard I try, or how many times I try I cannot get my sister in law's iPhone 4s to update it's software to 5.1  Despite it being connected to a strong wireless signal that I managed to update mine from on my laptop, it downloads the update but then says '"........s iPhone cannot be updated at this time because the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable."
    I have been trying to update my brother in law's iphone 4 from 4.3.2 to 5.0.1 also for over a month, when I go around and visit, was always the same message. I thought it may have been his phone.
    I feel I am missing something fairly basic here. The phones download the updates in iTunes, they backup, iTunes extracts the software update, but it gives in when it's time to connect to Apple and verify the update. Doesn't matter how many times I try it.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance
    Pete

    Could it be that the server is using a custom port, while using the standard port for something else? Mail sync should not be related to MacBook. But it helps if you open your mail app on Mac to verify all settings.
    Just a quick shot.
