RH8 - Can't check for updates

Hi,
From RoboHelp, if I go to the Help menu, I see the "Updates" option greyed out. I believe from previous versions, that this is supposed to always be an option so at anytime, you can check if updates are available. My guess is that this could be a permissions issue, whereby it will not allow me to check, but I could be wrong. Is it possible to fix this?
Thanks.

Check when RoboHelp has been open a couple of minutes. Wondering if it is like Deactivate which is greyed if you look straight after opening RoboHelp.
If that is not it, then it likely is a permissions issue. Get an IT admin to log on and check the menu option, allowing that delay.

Reboot the device and see if the error happens again. Updating through iTunes is usually optimal, but the file size differs via Software Update on the device and iTunes (50MB vs ~800MB)

Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem....after firmware update

I just bought a MBP w/Lion (10.7.4) and ran software update. The first two items I updated were firmware for SMC (ver 1.5) and EFI (ver 2.7) and now my MBP says: "Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem." However, I can connect to the Internet to surf the web just fine. This is the only update I've made. Can firmware be uninstalled? If I reverted to the image on my external drive that I did with CCC prior to the update, would that fix it?

Hi! i hope i'm able to explain what i worked out and what worked for me. I had the same message coming up "no internet connection, run network/internet diagnosis" etc etc. Internet connection was fine. What i finally did:
Open airport, check internet, internet options ; with me, IPv6 was set as this (the letters are in german order and not in a english order, sorry...):
In system prefs, network/TCP/IP IPv6 was set to "automatic":
I did change the settings in Airport back to "Link Local" and Software Update worked immediately normal whithout restarting the computer.
No idea what changed the settings; however i did run permission repairs beforehand with no connection to any problems, just as a normal kind of 'maintenance routine'.
Hope this helps others, it worked for me.

Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem.

The software update app fails with following error msgs. But all network functions fine.
+A networking error has occurred: timed out (-1001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again.+
+Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem.+
Deleted the software update plist files in $HOME/Library/Preferences, $HOME/Library/Preferences/ByHost, and HD/Library/Preferences, as per some posts. no effect. Problem persists.
Any Ideas?
Thanks

Same here
The last update I managed to do without problems was +Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 5+ - since yesterday the update process has become much, much slower and when I try to install +Security Update 2009 005+ and +iTunes 9+, it fails, usually with the aforementioned error, but also sometimes with Error 400 or Error 600, IIRC.

"Software update can't check for updates because of a network problem" - help!

Recently, when I perform a software update check on the pulldown Apple menu, I get this error:
"Software update can't check for updates because of a network problem."
The only problem is that my network works just fine. I use the internet and get emails without any problem. But I can't figure how I can fix Software Update.
The only relevant updates have been for Glims and 1Password. Oh, and note the same problem trying to access the App Store; I just get a "Can't connect to the App Store" error.
Any hints?

I have to solve all my own problems.
The problem was due to Little Snitch. Once I upgraded from 2.4.0 to 2.4.2, my system works swimmingly again.
FIXED!

Software Update can't check for updates (Lion)

Just downloaded and installed OSX 10.7. Tried to run Software Update and get the following alert:
'Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem. The file “index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog” couldn’t be found on the server “swscan.apple.com”.'
Repaired permissions, created new user account... Issue persists. I'm connected to the internet. Software Update System Preference has no entries in the "Software Installed' tab.

No I haven't tried to get the individually. I will just wait because I am not the only one in our household who's iTunes won't download app updates.
The Software Update error has also now changed to:
Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem.
A network error has occurred. Check your Internet connection, and then try again.
as opposed to earlier when it read:
Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem.
The file “index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog” couldn’t be found on the server “matsus2.matilda.net.au”.
So something has changed in the last few hours. Maybe it's not my computer and just something to do with the apple servers. The matsus2.matilda.net.au is the interesting thing as it has no relevance to our internet or home network.

Although I am logged in as an admin, I can't check for updates or update Firefox. I'm on a Mac and would rather not delete this version and just reinstall the new version bc I don't want to lose my bookmarks. Please help - thanks.

I need to update Firefox to the latest version, but check for updates is grayed out. I am already logged in as an admin for my computer (it's a Mac), but my computer is telling me that I don't have permission to update Firefox. How can I update Firefox? I don't want to delete and reinstall because then I will lose my bookmarks.
Thanks!

'''I have also been having a problem I thought it was me or my computer'''as I am not really that good with my computer ,Also there are pages that I try to go to hat says pages busy or moved can not connect,but I can from explorer.

I can't check for updates, under Help, it's turned off

I can't look for updates. When I go to Help, check for updates, it is turned off.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I don't know. Never used this before.

You can start the Firefox program as Administrator via the right-click context menu.

I can't check for updates because of a "network problem"

when i try to access software updates, i get the aforementioned message, however, when i run the network diagnostic i get "your internet connection appears to be working correctly. i recently had major issues w/my mac and had to have the hard drive reinstalled. i'm running version 10.6.8.
thanks for looking.

Not sure any of these will work, but did you try restarting your iMac? Re-setting the PRAM? Running Disk Utility and repairing disk permissions for your startup volume?
Has this only happened once or twice in the past hour, of over the course of a whole day? If only happened in the last hour, maybe the other end of the network is having a problem at the moment, and try to run updates again in an hour or two.
Good luck.

Since upgrading to Leopard, can't check for software updates or iTunes stor

since upgrading to Leopard, i can't get software upgrades. I get error messages "software update can't connect to the update server. make sure you're connected to the internet, then try again. software update can't check for updates because of a network problem." My network connections are fine.
Also get "itunes could not connect to the itunes store. the network connection was refused. make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again." when I try to go to itunes store. Again, my network connections are fine.
Any ideas?

the solution is to use Little Snitch Configuration.app, which monitors online activity and gives option to allow/deny access of a given program.

Hello. I went to Tools, Plug-ins and check for updates as I do once a week, every week, and yet now, after checking, Firefox says 'no plug-ins detected'. My plug-ins are still all there in Tools, Add-ons, so why am I getting this message?

I check my plug-is for updates once a week, yet as of today, despite the fact that my plug-ins are all still there in Tools, plug-ins, after I click on the find updates button, I get the usual screen that tells me Firefox is checking for updates to my plug-ins, but then I get the message saying 'No plug-ins detected.' This has never happened before and it means I can't check for updates to my plug-ins.

There is a fault with the plugin check service, Mozilla are looking into it.

When I try to check for updates on my iPhone 4, it checks endlessly.

I also can't check for updates or install through iTunes as it doesn't seem to think the phone is plugged in, ''Connect this iPhone using a USB cable in order to update or restore its software.''

When I start the backup, it says there is 2.9 GB of space available. The times it would not complete, it never gave progress. I tried again this morning (7am) & it showed progress & I considered that an improvement. It is still plugged in ( noon ) & running (or appears to be) & says about 2 days left..... I will leave it a while & see what happens & then try your instructions if it still does not backup. I was reading the FAQs on this & it said something about deleting old photos that are on iCloud. I have moved all pics I want into iPhoto. If I delete old ones from iCloud, will it leave the ones in iPhoto?
Thanks!

N95 Device Manager (Check for Updates)

Well i'm currently looking on my n95 for this option to check for updates but its not listed in the options.
My guess is that i currently dont have a server profile added in.
Could anyone help here since i can't check for updates without a server and i can't find the details anywhere.
Thanks.
