Software updater dropping connection??

Hi all , I have been trying to update my N73 to the latest firmware with no success, with my PC already connected (via broadband) I try to run the updater and it starts ok then informs me that my network connection has been lost (not true! its still there)after this the updater prog' just shuts down, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software with no success, so if anyone has any ideas i would be glad to hear them.
I have tried disabling both firewall and AV to see if that was the problem.
Thanks......... Ron.Message Edited by twixer on 04-Jul-200707:22 AM

Hi twixer
After un-installing NSU v1.3.83en did you reboot your PC before re-installing?
I don't know what AV you are using Norton, McAfee or AVG etc., but presumably when installing NSU you get message saying that it wants to access internet which you OK?
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Software update cant connect to the internet

I connect to the internet via wifi on my MBP and I can have say firefox connecting to the internet, mail checks fine, itunes store works, but Safari and Mac Software Updater wont connect. Any Ideas?
Ive tried resetting PRAM,
Tried the network diagnostic, but that says its all fine but a rerun of the updater still no connection.
Tried various signal strengths to the modem.
check/verify permissions and Hard disk.

I have had this error returned for months... Not just during the holidays. Dozens of other users are having/have been having the same issue. SU starts just fine, gets to about 25 meg (in my case) and times out, returns the error you quoted. Smaller files usually (but not always) come thru ok. A common thread with all the posts I have read seems to be DSL. On a different thread, it was suggested the modem can get out of synch with the server due to line or modem issues such as forgetting to put filter in all phone jacks.
Anyway, I'm going to give SU another go... It probably won't work...

Software update - not connected to internet

Hi
I am trying to update apple software using apple update, but keep getting a message saying I am not connected to the internet - which I clearly am as I am on this forum and desperately seeking help. p.s. It happens with Safari as well but not Firefox (the browser I am using to post this). One thing I have noted when setting the proxy passwords and applying them, when I go back into the network setting the password have extended themselves by 3 or 4 characters.

I will call them tomorrow.
My ISP is Internet America.
I have been with them since they took over
Cyberamp back in the 90s.
I have DSL.
My terminology is limited. The local mail I am speaking
of is the program that came on my Mac when I
installed it. I can only access it when I am on this
particular computer. Otherwise, I call up Internet
Amer. webmail. The mail stays there, until I launch
my "local" mail here at home. This has never happened
before and today it brought about half my email over
and then just quit. Since then, nothing has come over.
I can go to the internet in every other way except when
trying to have my software updates checked. It says I
am not connected to the internet.
As I said, I will call them tomorrow and will post what
they say.
Thanks very much.

Unable to check for software updates or connect to itunes store

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?

No, I thought that it might be the firewall but it doesn't seem to be. Whatever it is that I try to update always gets this message
couldn’t be found on the server “swcdn.apple.com”.
I had to fix a few permissions but that didn't solve this problem.

Software Update Cannot connect and Safari cannot connect to URLs

I have copied this problem report from the Safari forum in the hope that I may get some additional help here.
This morning I went to the local library and connected to the internet directly using airport to their WAN. So I now know my problem is independent of the weird dial up arrangement I have at home.
Safari still does not open the sites. It gives a message "Cannot open page "x" because it cannot connect to server "X""
When I open Firefox all my sites are working normally. (I also downloaded and installed Firefox 3 this morning)
I have reset Safari but that does not help.
I have even downloaded the latest greatest version of safari (the beta 4) but it exhibits the same problems
When I invoke Software Update it claims I am not connected to the internet. Does this depend on Safari? Is there a preference I can change to make it work through Firefox
When I invoke internet connect diagnostics it says my internet connection is working normally.

Hi Steve,
Great clues there!
FF uses it's own Proxy & DNS settings for a couple of things, where Safari & other Apple Apps use System Preferences.
First, Go to System Preferences>Network, Show Airport>Proxies tab, make sure no Proxies are set.
Second, Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Airport Interface...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply
DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes.
These Servers have been patched to guard against DNS poisoning, and are faster/more reliable than most ISP's DNS Servers.

Software Updater- Not connected to the internet

I have recently downgraded from a Cable modem to a wi-fi using Globetroter Connect and the AT&T 3G network. Now when I run Software update - I get a message that I am not connected to the internet - even tho I am running Netscape in the background. (I have tried both running netscape and not runing netscape so that's not the issue) I have browsed through old posts on this topic and can't seem to find help.
thanks in advance
Robby

If other OS X internet dependent items do not work of don't work well
now that you've changed some system settings (or should have) in
order to use a new internet provider and other hardware, you may
have to change system settings. A non-Apple browser can use its
own settings and find an internet connection in your Mac. Other
parts of the system may not find the internet directly if a change
was made to your computer's settings or the hardware attached.
In some cases, a Mac owner may find Safari won't work; FireFox
will; and to the same web pages, the results will differ. Or other
internet dependent items such as certain live widgets can't find
the internet if they rely on other system settings not set correctly.
So, this means there much be some location setting, or some
old proxy, or perhaps a firewall setting or other block; maybe
even one part of the Network settings is correct in general
while another is not. Even improper DNS or other numbers
may be a partial reason for something halfway working.
If you get different results or none at all from native Mac OS X
internet dependent applications or utilities, then the settings
or location, or other network, or system pref setting, etc are in
need of review and some changes need to be tried.
Have you tried other user accounts to see if the system's own
reliance on the internet settings in System Preferences Network
and other basics still work (or don't) thereby narrowing the issue?
The kind of problem you've cited has other parallel causes under
different topics online; I have read about, but not experienced them.
Good luck & happy computing!

Software update cannot connect MacOSX 10.8

Applestore Chapelfield UK replaced my Seagate hard disk under warranty, and installed mountain lion. On restoring from Time Machine backup everything works (as so far checked except iPhoto which expects an updated version of MacOSX10.8. I can't get Software Update or App Store to connect to my account although iTunes does, as does the web, email etc etc.
Advice on fixing software update - is there a version conflict?

Software Update cannot connect - Browsing works

I recently installed Mac OS 9 on my Titanium PowerBook G4. Since upgrading via Software Update to 9.2.2, Software Update has not been working anymore; it fails with the message "Software Update is not able to connect to the Internet. Please check your configuration and try again."
At the same time, browsing the Internet works perfectly. Does anybody have an idea what the problem may be?
-Michael.

Hi, Michael -
Some things to try -
Make sure that the extensions named Security Library and Security Manager are enabled (checkmarked) in Extensions Manager.
Increase the Preferred memory allocation to 5000 for these items -
• Software Update (System Folder >> Comtrol Panels)
• Software Update Engine (System Folder >> Extensions)
• Installer Engine (System Folder >> Application Support >> Software Update)
Article #TA21666 - Assigning More Memory to an Application
Throw away the file named Software Update Preferences (Syatem Folder >> Preferences). Then restart.
Epson Scanner Monitor, a 3rd-party extension, is known to sometimes interfere with Software Update.
Sometimes selecting the Mac OS Base or Mac OS All set of extensins in Extensions Manager, and then restarting, will get rid of a conflict and allow Software Update to function.

Software Update - Cannot Connect

Some time past (I’ve be very busy...) When Software Update attempts to connect, I get a dialog stating it cannot connect and offers Network Diagnostics, which finds nothing wrong with the network settings. I have no problems with any of my network connections other than Software Update.
In the past it has worked perfectly for me...

Ignore me, Littlesnitch required an update 2.4.2 to work in Lion...

Ever since upgrading to Lion I have had problems connecting to Software Update from the Menu Bar or System Preferences. The update window flashes, closes and another window pops up saying it can't connect.
When I click Network Diagnostics everything is OK, and I am able to recieve Mail and browse Safari.

Software Update not connection in OSX Lion

I am using 2008 macbook, intel core 2 duo, 2.4 Ghz, i recently installed OSX Lion, after installed software update is not connecting with apple server.
now i am only updating via manually

Sorry for the delay in replying - I spoke to Apple support yesterday and they advised a repair disc & permissions, and a fresh install of Mountain Lion through Recovery Disc. That pretty much tied up yesterday, but to no avail. It still doesn't work.
So - back to Console. I went where you suggested and this is the message it threw up:

Any ideas? I notice a reference to My TomTom in there which relates to the GPS SatNav we use. Not sure if that is an issue - some kind of software clash?
