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.

    You need to connect it to your computer and update it through iTunes.
    'Over the air' updates were only introduced in iOS5.

    Run the cleaner tool and reinstall with sufficient user privileges and security stuff turned off. Your install went wrong because you didn't consider this.

  • Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me.  I recently got my first ever Ipod.  It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation.  I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens.

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me.  I recently got my first ever Ipod.  It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation.  I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens.  I have tried uninstalling & re-installing Itunes but this didnt help. 
    Does anyone have any ideas? 
    Thanks for your help.

    I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos.  It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again.  Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
    In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen.  In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device).  Under Settings, click on Music.  To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box at the top for Sync Music.  That turns ON automatic syncing for music.  Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod).  Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below.  Then click Apply.

  • I am advised that an update is available but when I press the download button all that happens is that my macbook tells me it is connecting to the server but nothing happens.

    This problem occurs each time I try to download the update, currently 5.0, and I eventually have to close the attempt down

    If you have 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 DMG file to the desktop

    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install

  • HT3275 My time machine backup hangs up when partly completed. It seems to back up 7.4 MB out of 159.8 MB, and then keeps on turning but nothing seems to be happening. I tried troubleshooting it by doing a disk utility on the external hard drive used for T

    My Time Machine seems to be hanging up (stopping) beforew completion. I'm running Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.2) on my iMac G5, and I already trouble-shot the external drive used for Time Machine by using Repair on Disk Utilities. So--what gives?

    IMac G5 with Mountain Lion.. amazing.. I am pretty sure support for early Intel stopped at ML and support for G5 long before that.
    Load the widget and see if you get error message that the TM is ejecting the drive.. before the backup is complete.. that is one of those nice.. features.. Apple has made available in recent updates.. sometimes called bugs.

  • Trying to download a song, but nothing seems to be happening (slow dial-up)

    I've been trying to download a song for at least half an hour on an ultra-slow dial-up connection (26.4 kbps), which is all that is available where I live, and there doesn't seem to be even one iota of progress so far. I don't know if anything is actually happening or if I should just abort. If I abort, my card will be charged for a song I won't have - which isn't fair. If I don't abort, my computer could be tied up the entire day (and I still may not have anything to show for it at the end of the day). Is there anything I can do?

    Thank you for that information - that is good to know. Unfortunately it's not a very practical solution for me. That's no reflection on you or your advice - I just don't know anyone who has both a cable connection and iTunes on their computer well enough to even feel comfortable in making such a request - but assuming I could find someone who would be willing to let me use their computer, I'd still have to spend at least 45 minutes driving to their home (no one in my town has cable - it just isn't available here).
    There still hasn't been any progress, so maybe I will abort this attempt and just try again. I've downloaded files from other sites with this connection, so I don't know why there hasn't at least been some progress on this attempt. Does anyone know if it is even possible to download anything from this particular site with a 26.4 kbps dial-up connection?

    My ipod has a charger on its screen pointing to a itunes symbol I have tried connecting it to itunes but nothing seems to happen.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Trying to apply an update to Firefox, new window says 'connecto the update server..' but it never connects.

    When turning on the computer, I am advised that an update to Firefox is available and it is highly recommended that I update.
    But trying to apply an update to Firefox, new window says 'connecto the update server..' but it never connects.

    Hello jwmoss, If there is an issue with update or permissions the better and easiest way is to download and install firefox:
    1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    2. '''''Trash''''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
    3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
    Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

  • Since updating to Firefox 23.0.1, I am unable to connect to our company servers.

    Since updating to Firefox 23.0.1, I am unable to connect to our company servers. The error message is "Certificate type not approved for application.", and it gives me no option to create an exception.
    In previous versions, Firefox gave the option of creating a security exception, and then everything worked as expected. The new version does not give this option, and hence I cannot connect to our company servers.
    I can connect using Explorer, Opera, Chrome, etc., without any problems. Only Firefox refuses to connect.
    Please advice.

    The issue is not with SSL or TLS. The issue is with Firefox.
    Thanks for all the helpful suggestions, but this is clearly a bug in Firefox, where the ability to create a security exception has been disabled in this case.
    Other browsers, as well earlier versions of Firefox, allow security exceptions to be created, which completely solves the issue.
    How do I go about reporting this bug?

    Perhaps, iTunes can't communicate with the Apple uodate servers. Temporarily disabling your firewall and antivirus software would help. Take a look at this.
