    That's it, no more indications.
    What would be the rest of message? Do I have to uninstall Skype?
    Thanks.

    Try to uninstall any currently installed version using this MS Fix It:

    If this will still not help, then try this:
    Download, but don’t run this installer for the latest 6.9.0.106 version.

  • Error 1638 - iPhone software update server can not be contacted.

    Hi,
    I can't update my iPhone iOS to 4.3.3 with iTunes since a few months i still have the 4.3 version. I am using iTunes with an iMac with all software updated.
    I am getting the error "iPhone software update server can not be contacted..."
    I made a few research and tried the following fix:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275 for error 1638 > 1004
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297 with no success (specifically the Blocked by configuration section - 2 Rebuild network information, the hosts file under /private/etc/hosts had no information that needed to be commented with #)
    After all troubleshooting I re-installed iTunes with http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1224
    And I am still getting the same error...
    What can I do?
    Thanks for your help

    Same issue still with OS X Lion, last version of iTunes, can't update to iOS 4.3.5 or restore my iPhone 4. iPhone isn't Jailbrake. I am allways getting the error: "the iPhone "****" cannot be updated at this time because the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable." (error 1638).
    I'd like to update iOS or restore my iPhone if needed but this doesn't seem to work neither as the problem is related to the conenction to the server.
    Can anyone help?

  • Update Error in nokia e5

    HI
    i have nokia E5.whenever i want to install skype & nimbuzz software it shows update error.i dont know how to over come on this problem.if any one can help me i will be thankfull to him.
    thanks

    Are you only getting the error message when you try to install those two applications? How about when you try to install other applications? What connection are you using, by the way? If data connection, you can try to switch to WiFi.
    If above wouldn't help, you can try to download and install the applications using Nokia Suite. If this would fail still, you may consider re-installing the software of your device.
    Cheers.

  • Skype update gave me a virus

    Hello, a Skype update was available and i put it off for a few days, prolly like 2 or 3, and then finally installed it. A few hours later my Norton antivirus popped up saying an intrusion was blocked, few hours later, again.  I checked what programs had been installed/updated that day and it was only skype.  I figured it couldn't of been skype and whatever this virus was it just wasn't on the list. Next day another notifications of an attempt blocked this time i view more details and see this:
    Network traffic from cdn.adnxs.com/p/1a/23/ea/b7/1a23eab730c35898c10426​5d6c326f1c.swf matches the signature of a known attack. The attack was resulted from \DEVICE\HARDDISKVOLUME3\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\SKYPE\PHONE\SKYPE.EXE.
    this clearly saying its from skype.exe aswell as skype being the only thing installed that day tells me that update was a virus. Why is this happening? I've been using skype for years and never had problems.

    Most probably false positive.
    You need to allow Skype.exe to your norton's firewall settings.

  • Installing Skype Failed : Code 1638 - Windows 10

    Hello, Just downloaded windows 10. Now getting a new Skype update. It wont install and gives me this error.  It asks me to unintall Skype as the old version is incompatible with the new version. Tells me to go to add/remove programs. The only problem is that Skype is no longer there. Cool! I read about this probem and was advised to go here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/mats/program_install_and_uninstall/en Problem is that tool  is not compatible with Windows 10. Please advise. Peter

    Hi Techfreak, I ran Fixit as you suggested from this part of the page: ================================ Step 3: Disable Microsoft Installer logging and Windows Update verbose loggingImportant As soon as Windows Update or Microsoft Update has finished, disable Windows Installer logging. Having logging enabled can require too much time every time that you install updates, can slow down your computer, and can create large log files that require large amounts of disk space.
    To have us disable logging for you, go to the "Fix it for me" section. If you would rather disable logging yourself, go to the "Let me fix it myself" section.  Fix it for meTo disable logging automatically, click the Fix it button or link. Then click Run in the File Download dialog box, and follow the steps in the Fix it wizard.

  • Windows 7 PRO GP update error

    Windows 7 PRO GP update error        
    We have a very peculiar problem
    We have a Primary  DC & Secondary DC installed in all our office ( Windows 2008R2). The Domain name is abc.com for all the Offices and the replication between the DC's happen in between the office happen without a problem.
    The clients in each of the offices gets authenticated from the DC in the respective office.
    But for a group policy update it gives an error as below
    "Computer policy could not be updated successfully.  The following errors were encountered: The processing of Group Policy failed.  Windows attempted to read the file
    \\<FQDN>\sysvol\<FQDN>\Policies\{BD732AAF-016F-11D2-945F-00C04Fb984F9}\gpt.inifrom a domain controller and was not successful.  Group Policy settings may not be applied until this event is
    resolved. This issue may be transient and could be caused by one or more of the following:
    a) Name Resolution/Network Connectivity to the current domain controller.
    b) File Replication Service Latency (a file created on another domain controller has not replicated to the current domain controller).
    c) The Distributed File System (DFS) client has been disabled.
    The error happens only on some clients.
    We are able to Ping, connect to the local DC and the client gets the IP from the local DC and also gets authenticated by the local DC for log on.
    On the PC which gives an error if we try to ping domain name - abc.com it returns the ip of the DC in a another office and not the local DC.
    Request to suggest a solution / tips to identify the problem

  • Open Delivery value update error in credit management

    Hi
    We have credit management active at delivery level. The value of open deliveries is not getting updated correctly for items with material substitution (material determination). For all other items, its getting updated correctly.
    E.g Let say the credit limit set in FD32 is 10000 and the credit limit used % is 98 and the credit exposure value is 9800.
    Now when I create an order with qty 10 for mat A, it creates a sub item B due to material determination and the value of the item is Rs.1200. In our system, the sub item with TAPS item category is relevant for pricing.
    Then I create a delivery in VL01N and save it.
    Now if i check in FD33, the credit limit used should be 101% and the credit exposure value should be 11000, but its not updating the open delivery value correctly. Its not considering the value of the new delivery.
    However, If I add a normal item (TAN) in the same sales order and create a delivery for that item and save it, its updating the credit exposure based on the value of the normal item in the delivery correctly.
    How to make the system update the open delivery values correctly by taking the items with material determination also into account.??
    Please advise if any specific settings need to be done.
    Regards
    Madhu

    Hi,
    the system updates open values for credit management. These are:
    Open sales order credit value (S066-OEIKW)
    Open delivery credit value (S067-OLIKW)
    Open billing document credit value (S067-OFAKW)
    The system updates the open values in standard SIS structures S066 and S067. Technically, the structures are transparent tables. You can display the contents using transaction SE16 or using table maintenance.
    The S067-OLIKW will give the open delivery credit values credit.Check in you system whether this table is updated with the delivery values for the credit account(customer number)
    RVKRED77 u2013 Reorganize SD credit data
    When updating errors occur, it enables you to reorganize the open credit, delivery and billing document values.
    If the table is not updated run this report in background.
    Regards,
    Saju.S
