Software Update doesn't connect

Hi. This has happened twice in a row now. HP Director tells me an update is available. I click on it and it spins its wheels. I just tried again manually, after first dropping my firewall, to no avail.
I'm running the 7410 all in one printer, full software install, on Win XP home.
If this isn't the best spot for this question, please advise.
Thanks,
Paul

u can visit this site and download all the updates manually. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os​=228&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=391194〈=en

  • Any Apple related (Mac app store, itunes, software update) doesn't connect

    First recently I had a problem with Mac app store. "Store News" a free app showed on my update tab but I've never downloaded that app before. It was not even installed on my mac or showing under my apps. The worst was when I clicked on update button for the app it asked for another account to login. I could not update the app or remove it because for this app that weird account was required! I asked for Apple support and they told me to get help from the developer. I did and they were amazing but the problem was not the app but Mac app store was hacked! And Apple doesn't admit that so they suggested me to kill my mac and reinstall my system! I didn't (yet!) because I heard about one big update at app store before Lion and thought "maybe this solve everything!". BUT when I tried to get software update it didn't connect. After trying to update my system, neither app store and itunes connect.
    My internet connection is working fine, I can browse, download, mail works fine. BUT I cannot connect to software update, itunes or app store. Why?
    So I manually downloaded the 10.6.8 combo update and installed hoping I could get things back to normal. Even after the update I still can't connect those services. Anybody having the same issue?
    Thanks.

  • Apple software update doesn't connect to server

    Hello,
    When I try to do a software update on my iMac, it say " update software doesn't manage to locate the " update router"", more or less because I just translate it from french.
    I don't know if there is a relation, but I connect my computeur on internet with a stellite provider. But I don't think, because when I was on dial up connection, I had the same probleme.
    Anyone can help?

    No, I didn't try creating a new user, in part because once before doing that only made things more complicated and didn't solve any problems.
    Software Update simply started working again. No idea why.
    However, even after several days, Safari is still reporting that it cannot connect to the server for any URL put in. I've restarted Safari, reset Safari, manually emptied all caches, removed cookies. All very odd!
    Firefox is working just fine.

  • Lion 10.7.2 Software Update doesn't offer Lion 10.7.3

    2007 Mac Pro 3GHZ (2,1) with Lion 10.7.2.
    Software Update doesn't see that the 10.7.3 update is available for this machine. I successfully upgraded a MacBook Pro using Software Update, but this machine doesn't find it. So, I've downloaded the Combo Update and will run it tomorrow, unless someone here thinks something else is amiss.

    It's definitely not being presented to some machines.
    My Mid-2011 Mac Mini Server was presented the update via Software Update and installed fine.
    My Mid-2011 27", Early-2009 24" iMacs and my Mid-2010 Macbook Pro aren't being presented the update.
    As a question, are you using Filevault by any chance? It's the only common thread I can find between the three that aren't working for me.
    Edit:  Give the Combo update a shot.   Looks to have worked fine for me.

  • Software Update can't connect to server -- error

    I have Tiger 10.4.7 on a 600mH white G3 dual USB iBook. When I try to use the SoftwareUpdate function off the Apple Menu to check for any updates to Tiger, the "checking for new software" window starts up all right but immediately the error message window appears with "Software Update can't connect to the update server."
    I'm otherwise connected to the internet all right and everything is working. I tried trashing the com.apple.softwareupdate.plist file from the Library/Preferences and the user/Library/Preference/ and restarting, but this didn't do it either.
    I've had this problem before and it has "become" fixed, but I don't know exactly what sequence does it. Any help, please?

  • HT1338 I'm trying to download java on my Mac machine but the software update doesn't show me anything. Please advise what I should do to get the application.

    I'm trying to download java on my Mac machine but the software update doesn't show me anything. Please advise what I should do to get the application.

    If you can run it under chrome, you have java installed.
    There was some malware that exploited an older version of Java (not javascript) running in a Browser. Since few people use it Apple turned off Java by default in the Safari Browser.
    If you need it for something, just turn it back on in Safari preferences (inside Safari). After a few months of non-use, you may find it has turned itself off again.

  • Software Update doesn't have any new software for your computer at this time

    HI
    I manged to get all my updates downlaoded and on my server, i have currently enabled 133 of 400 updates.
    I have changed my snow leopard machine to point to the internal update server
    But then after a while of checking this displays software Update doesn't have any new software for your computer at this time
    Which is a Lie, because i know there are updates on the server that the computer needs to have.
    Any Ideas
    Many Thanks

    Oh i forgot to say in consol (from the client) i get can't instantiate distribution from server address  error Domain=NSXMLParserErrorDomain code=70 etc

  • Software Update doesn't find 10.5.7 Update

    I have a 3-month old MacBook Pro and software update doesn't find the 10.5.7 update, About This Mac says my system is 10.5.6. I also have an orginal MacBook Pro running Leopard and this finds it.

    Forget software update, it's better to update through combo (or directly downloaded from apple site) anyway.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1057comboupdate .html
    Make sure to verify/repair the disk, and repair permissions from the OSX install disk Disk Utility before updating.
    Also if you have Disk Warrior run that before and after install.
    Lastly, most importantly...CLONE your drive before any install.
    Use Superduper! or Carbon Copy Cloner.

  • "Software update" doesn't do anything whatsoever!

    I have run "Software update" on my new Intel Mac Pro (10.4.9) successfully. Today, no matter how many times I select it from the Apple menu of Finder, the "Software update" doesn't do anything: no error, no "checking at Apple", nothing! Has anyone seen this, and what can I do to make it work again?
    Mike

    Go to System Preferences/Software Update, and
    initiate it from there.
    aha! That worked - great, thanks. Do you know why it stopped working from the Apple menu?!?
    It should start working from
    the Apple Menu after you do. To prove it, as SU
    begins to run from System Preferences, click on the
    Finder, then select SU from the Apple Menu. It should
    immediately bring you to the SU window.
    nope - this one didn't work. I tried clicking on it from Apple while it was "checking" and nothing happened. But after it was done checking, it did bring up the "new software is available for your computer" window.
    So, it's not the end of the world since I can now run it from System Preferences, but it's kind of worrysome that it just stopped working. Also, does this mean it won't happen automatically (on a schedule)?

  • Trying to update to Firefox 3.6.4, - Software Update window says "Connecting to Update Server", but nothing seems to be happening.

    The Software Update screen says Connecting to Update Server, "Paused Downloading Firefox 3.6.4". Nothing seems to be happening.
    * I have shut down my computer and restarted.
    * I have cleared my history.
    I'm hoping the upgrade will help with the crashes. How can I get the update?

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    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.

  • Software updater fails to connect to server. How can I fix?

    Software updater fails tp connect with the server. I have tried a restart and checked network connections and internet access. I have no problems connecting to internet, App Store and iTunes Store. Help!

    If you know what downloads to look for you get them from support.apple.com.  For example the 10.6.8 combo update v1.1 can be found here.
    The probelm is knowing what to look for and that's why softwere update comes in handy even if you don't want to have it do the downloads.  What's probably going on was that the servers looked by software update were either temporarily down, or as mentioned above, overloaded.  Wait a while and try it again.

  • Software Update can't connect to the update server.

    I have an iMac 8-1 with OS is Mac OS X, version 10.7, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and 3 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory.
    When I try to update software I get this error message:

    Software Update can’t connect to the update server. Make sure you’re connected to the Internet, and then try again.

  • Software update fails on connection interrupt

    I have two computers, one an Intel Core i5 runing 10.7.2, and the other a Core i7 running 10.7.3. Software Update hangs on checking for new software, or at the start of downloading. The problem seems like it may be related to Airport WiFi. I've noticed that at somewhat random timing, when Software Update is run, the Internet connection on both my DSL modem, and the AirPort Base Station network is dropped, and then comes back in a minute or two. The hang or failure to fetch files follows this interupt. Connection is solid at all other times. (I run connection timing on the menu bar). This is what I get from System.log on the Console:

    I get an error dialoge that says:
    "Software Update can’t connect to the update server. Make sure you’re connected to the Internet, and then try again."
    Now if I recall correctly that both my modem and AirPort Extreme base station are about 4 years old now, and I would consider replacing them, but I have heard rumors that Apple is having problems on the Server end for delivering updates.
    Advice?

    Mine is doing the same thing. Also having issues with it connecting to my time capsule correctly. I have tried running disk utilities and also restarting the computer and zapping the p-RAM. If I can't get updates how will I be able to download the Lion update that fixes the bug?? Ugh.
