The auto update apparently TRIES to connect, FOREVER

The auto updater offers me the update to 3.6.16 DAILY but when I click ok it goes into a CONTINUAL "downloading update" but it never completes. It's running right now...AGAIN

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • We are trying to package our iTunes Windows and we can't stop the auto update feature.  How can we do this?

    We have consultants here packaging many of our Apps for deployment with Windows 7.  We cannot find a way to turn off the auto update feature within iTunes for Windows.  Has someone been successful in packaging iTunes for Windows and NOT do the auto update piece?

    The Apple advice revolves around the editing the registry:
    Windows OS Managed Client: How to manage iTunes control features
    ... but it's beyond my competence to advise how to work that particular registry edit into a deployment, I'm afraid.

  • Macbook 2.2ghz Leopard wont auto update (says it cant connect to internet??) also safari and chrome take ages to open and frequently crash. Help!

    Here goes...
    1) I have a Macbook 2.2ghz (early 2008) running Leopard 10.5.8 which wont auto update (says it cant connect to internet even though it is - error says A networking error has occurred: timed out (-1001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again.) Network diagnostcs says that im connected to the intermet.
    2) Also safari and chrome take ages to load pages when every time I open them (around 45 seconds) and then when they are running safari will randomly close and chrome will come up with the aw snap message for random pages (doesnt matter if its trying to loas flash or not).
    Iv got Sophos anti virus which is saying theres no malware or viruses, also tried restartiing, re downloading chrome, deleteing my profile from chrome, exporting, deleting and then importing bookmarks and hardwiring the latop to the router. None of these fixed the issues.
    Never had these issues and they are really getting on my nerves! Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks but just tried and does nothing, i read somewhere it could be to do with proxy settings? even though though i havnt changed them?? couldnt work out how to do it on a mac, could this be the problem?

    download with itunes, or with one of your devices, and re-try, most causes it the update server it self.

    I have a tesco router and an external hard drive attached to it as a network drive (shared) for my macbook and MB-Air. Have no problems with my MB accessing it, but with MB-AIR it says -  'the version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. pls contact your system administrator to resolve the problem'. MB-Air uses maverick downloaded yesterday - upgrade from mountain lion. MB uses snow leopard still, as i am quite used to it and am thinking of upgrade if mavericks work fine on air. Also have parallel on snow leopard but it is no longer supported according to mac website - if i upgrade am i going to lose my parallel and will have to buy a new one!!!

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

  • AFP fails to connect to a PC volume and gives a "version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported" error message.

    AFP fails to connect to a PC volume and gives a "version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported" error message.
    Has anybody come across this error and found a fool-proof solution? I have found some stuff on the web but nothing seems to work. In particular this one on the Apple Help doesn't:
      http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4700
    I have a W2K3  server where the volume is. It's a new Mac with OSX 10.8 and is connecting with AFP (I don’t want to move to SMB yet). There are older Macs with lower OS and all of them work fine. I have checked all the basic stuff and it is set-up correctly (hosts file on Mac, network, etc.).
    Any help greatly appreciated,
    Cheers,

  • Firefox won't update - tho I have OSX 10.5.8 it keeps saying I have too old an OS. The auto-update for Firefox is greyed out. How can I update?

    I have a Mac Powerbook G4, running OS X 10.5.8. I'm getting messages from Google that Firefox is an old version and needs updating - so I went to the Firefox website and the message said that "Unfortunately the latest version of Firefox isn't compatible with your computer's operating system. Learn more." When I click Learn More, it says that Firefox only works with OS X 10.5 and 10.6...The auto-update box for Firefox is greyed out and un-clickable in Firefox preferences, there's no manual download that I can find - how can I make Firefox recognize my OS and allow me to upgrade? Many thanks.

    PPC Macs aren't compatible with Firefox 4.0 and later versions.
    For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4 / 5 / 6, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ <br />
    http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/downloads/list
    Or use Firefox 3.6.22. <br />

    iPhone do not do automatic update. You have to manually trigger the updates.
    If your Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads > Music, Apps, Books are ON then when you purchase any new content/item with any devices/computer iTunes, it will automatically download. Switch it OFF if you do not want that to happen.

  • Fix for "The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported."

    Like many of you, I experienced the following problem with Lion:
    "The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem."
    I googled and found a workaround for that. It worked for me, maybe worth a try:

    Koos

    Same problem here, and the above fixes do not work. I'm running 10.7.5, and the defaults write commands do not appear to work: the plist reverts to its default state after each connection attempt.
    I can confirm that the correct values are entered in the plist immediately after performing the defauts write commands (while logged in as root) described in those links, by opening the plist file in xcode. But regardless of rebooting or not, the file immediately reverts to its default values as soon as an afp connection is made. Extremely frustrating. The "defaults write" simply doesn't stick.
    I desperately need to pull some data off of a Mac IIci that is running Shareway IP under System 7.5.5. This always worked seamlessly in 10.4 though 10.6: I really need a working solution for 10.7. Thanks for any help...

  • Problem "The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported."

    Hi,
    I connected a portable hard drive to my Airport Extreme. I can see the hard drive in Airport Utility / Disks but I'm getting an error when I try to connect this disk from Finder / Network / Airport Extreme. I googled and didn't find a solution.
    How can I connect the portable disk from Yosemite?
    There was a problem connecting to the server “Airport Extreme”.

    You can't get around it. It must be restore using iTunes on a computer. If you don't have access to one, make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store.
