Software update stalls and times out

Recently when running Apple Software Update on my laptop (running Vista), I've noticed that when trying to download either of the pieces of software available in the update system (VoiceOver 1.3 or MobileMe Control Panel), that it stalls with 1.1 MB remaining and times out after several minutes. I've tested this on Windows 7 with the same result and have attempted to fix by removing/reinstalling, as well as repairing the software, but to no avail.
Is there a workaround for this issue? I know for sure that VoiceOver is asking to be downloaded via Apple Software Update, and I hope the 404 error on the MobileMe Control Panel has righted itself.

Hmmm.
In the meantime, are you able to get the MobileMe control panel via the Download page at the Apple Website?

Software Update stalls and dies

In System Preferences > Software Update, click Check Now button. Software Update dialog opens ("Checking for new software..."), progress bar shows, fills up about 50%, then there it sits. Prog bar never gets beyond there, dialog stays open, no change, no update. Same thing after repeated restarts and retries, same thing when plugged in to office super-fast network or slower home broadband (without all the corporate security layers).
This relatively new Mac has also been doing some odd things recently (logging me out of my account instead of restarting, freezing on boot occasionally, etc.).
BTW, this hardware combination (which has got to be pretty common) has a pretty annoying display bug upon wake from sleep when this Mac is hooked up to a 27" Thunderbolt display, but I'll save that rant for another thread (I was hoping that an update might fix that...but can't get Software Update to work at all).

Software update in itunes times out 420mb. Is there a way to resume downloading after connection time out?

Hi,
While downloading an update for the iphone, my internet connection momentarily stops.
This interrupts the update download, which then needs to start from the beginning again.
Is there any way to enable the download to pick up from where it was interrupted?
Its a 420 mb update so it never finishes before the connection drops out.
Any help would be appreciated.
cheers

you cant resume it from the last position in itunes but could be paused and resumed,check out website,

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.

My HTC One received a software update yesterday, and it wiped out most of the theme and live wallpaper options. How do I get the previous options back?

This was NOT an update, rather a downgrade... the font size in text messages is now smaller and difficult to read. I have tried changing font size in settings and it does not apply to text messages. The lock/unlock screen pattern now reminds me of drawing a stick figure. My vehicle is now having problems with Bluetooth importation of my phone book--I keep receiving an on screen error message as it tries to continuously reattempt to import... And yes, the live weather wallpaper i favored is no longer an option... Why?

Safari not loading some pages; Software Update stalls - Log Provided

Safari won't load certain pages, times out, and Software Update stalls.
Have reset Safari, emptied cache, etc. but no change. May be more pervasive than just Safari. What to do next?

MagicMenu Enabler is a product developed by the
people who make Stuffit. From the above log it
appears that it might be compromising your system,
and possibly contributing to the problem you are
seeing.
Go to your Main Library>InputManagers folder and
remove the MagicMenuEnabler plug-in (for the time
being move it to your desktop).
Then restart Safari.

Thanks, Joseph. Tried it last night on my laptop and it didn't help. I still have lots of similar error messages not related to Stuffit. I am getting frustrated. Sometimes Safari is OK, but I have great difficulty logging in to secure sites like my bank and brokerage accounts. Software Update still stalls. Sometimes I have difficulty logging into this site. But, some websites load OK. I can access all of them on my Windows computer in my office.

I forgot my password and am trying to reset my ipod, but it won't work.It says that my ipod is in recovery mode and that I must restore it. I click ok, and then click on restore and update. Then it says connecting ipod software update server and a screen pops up with ipod software update on the top and iOS 5.1. It lists a bunch of stuff this update contains and on the bottom it says next, which I click and nothing happens, it just goes back to the ipod restore page. Help, what am I doing wrong?

This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

SAP SNC Portal DCM screen performance is very slow and times out

Friends,
SAP SNC Portal DCM screen performance is very slow and times out when user trying to pull data using customer location
What are the cleanup activites we can do to improve the overall SNC performance ?
We did open OSS message but so far no reply from SAP , Is there any one faced performance issue ?
User/vendor is complaining about slowness , query is standard SAP and its taking more time .(table - /LIME/NTREE) , It looks like number of data are huge causing this problem related to LIME/NTREE table. What are the options to improve the performance ?
Thanks in Advance
Hanuman Choudhary

hi Team,
Pls . note the advise from SAP below, IS there any have experiance of archiveing /LIME records ?
Please advise how to start & what the steps in archiving ?
Thanks in advance
I had a look at the DCM query performance in PH1 system and figured out
that most of the time is spent at the LIME layer of database. The
following LIME tables are having far too many entries and is causing
the bottleneck during the query execution.
/LIME/NLOG_QUAN - 38,165,467
/LIME/PN_ITEM - 19,116,518
/LIME/PN_ITEM_TB - 19,154,124
These tables are storing the historical information about LIME(stock)
updates. Since these table grow with each change/update of stock
information, it will slow down the performance of the system over a
period of time. And to avoid the slow responses, the tables should
ideally be archived on a periodic basis to keep the data volume as
minimal as possible. You may have to discuss with the Business to
determine the number of days of LIME record you would want to retain
in the system. I would strongly recommend you to consider the LIME
archival retaining the minimum days (<=60 days) of historical
information. You can find more information about the Lime Archival
in the Sap Help link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm2007/helpdata/en/44/2a83121dde23d1e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm.
Kindly get in touch with your BASIS consultant for the LIME archival.
The application performance should definitely improve after the LIME
archival. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me in case you
require any further clarification in this regards.
Best Regards

Can't access Web Site, super slowly and time out!

Hi all,
I am using Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V, HP DL360 G6 Server
The Master OS have a NIC1 to VLAN1 Switch (Also in the Cisco SG300 Switch)
Plus other NIC2 connect to Cisco SG300 28 Switch (Running in L3 Mode), this Cisco then connect to a SonicWALL NSA 2400.
I build some VLAN31 on SonicWALL NSA 2400, and add this to the Cisco SG300 as Truck Port connect Both...
Other Port on the SG300 are untouch, so mean default running mode is Truck mode, and one of it port connect to the NIC2 to the Server ...
Ok, if Hyper-V VM, not enable VLAN in the Hyper-V Management in 2012 R2, it can take the DHCP from the SonicWALL NSA 2400 no problems, can see other LAN (VLAN1) machine well both direction, and go to Internet too.
But, if I setting the VLAN31 on Hyper Manager to some VM, it can take the DHCP and take the IP from SonicWALL for this VALN31, include DNS, GW etc...
But ... it just can ping internet, for example, ping www.yahoo.com it ok, but open IE, enter www.yahoo.com will super super slowly and time out, if running CentOS 6.5 Linux, enter yum update, it total not work, time out, 0.2kb/s etc. But it can ping to www.yahoo.com
no problems...
And If Windows run routert www.yahoo.com, over 10s to see next hub ...
I am double checked SonicWALL NSA2400 Firewall Policy is allow all VLAN and LAN to WAN, and VLAN TO VLAN too..
What is wrong on the Hyper-V VLAN? Do I am setting wrong of my switch port mode (Access/Trunking)?
I am now out of direction what is go on to troubleshooting this.
Thank you.

I installed latest software updates today and now iphoto won't work at all - heeelllppp!

Hello
i installed latest software updates today and since then iphoto will not work at all. The window oens but it remains blank, and when I go to force quit it says iphoto not responding, so it's as if it's crashing on startup. I can't access my photo library or put new photos in the library from my camera, in fact I can't do anything at all with it.
I am in Africa a long way from home and tech support, so please can anyone help me?? Im a bit desperate as my whole photo library is inaccessible, and it will be months before I am back in the UK.
I am not hugeley techie so plain English please.
Thanks

HT202157 Apple TV says it is updating date and time after a power outage here. But nothing happens. The wheel just keeps spinning. What do I do to be able to use my apple tv?

Apple TV says it is updating date and time after a power outage. But the wheel just spins and nothing happens.. The software is updated and my wifi router is on and working fine and recognized by the Apple TV. How do I get Apple TV to work again?

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately "Restart" did not change the situation. I then used the "Restore" option. After about 45 minutes of the unit going through the process, Apple TV was up and running again.

Automatic software update stuck and going nowhere

Had 10.5 on a PPC Macmini, running smoothly, no problems. Ran Software update today and it's stuck on a progress bar now for over an hour installing 10.5. The progress seems stuck 'installing one item' at app 10%. I am tempted to shut down but thought I might get a quick answer here first.

Was it just one update, or many? Which one is it stuck at?
Since you are running 10.5.0 there are many updates available, and installing them all at once might be problematical. Nothing should take an hour to install, but if you are installing a dozen or so updates, it's possible to take a long time.
You might run your activity monitor and see if anything is really happening.

Software Update Server and iTunes

I just got the task of reorganizing our haphazardly organized Apple client-server structure. I plan on implementing a software update server and using ARD to push out updates to clients.
Is there a way to control iTunes to stop its self update queries to the iTunes website without touching every machine and turning it off for every admin user? I've been looking for some kind of preference key that would either disable the autoupdates or point iTunes to use the Software Update server that I could push down with workgroup manager, but haven't been able to find one yet.

Try:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server

HT4847 My sons iPhone is under my apple id. He completed a software update earlier and now receives my text messages I send and receive- how do I disable this feature??

This happens when you both use the same Apple ID for iMessage. You can continue to share the same ID for pruchasing from the iTunes & App stores, but you should be using a different ID for iMessage. To fix this you have two choices:
On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID (so you are both using a different ID for iMessage); or
On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at". Also uncheck anyone else's phone number, if present.
