Unable to update or install plugins

In firefox 8 i am unable to update or install plugins, firefox downloads it but does not install

Do you mean plugins (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) like Flash that handle files or Firefox extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that add extra features to Firefox?
For the latter see:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you do mean plugins, then which plugin is giving problems?

When you select update, verify that it is showing your correct Apple ID, perhaps you have an app that was downloaded with a different ID, all apps are always associated with the ID that first downloaded them.

HT4623 Unable to update applications installed.Error message "unable to connet iTunes" appears after installation icon hanging

Since last two weeks I am unable to update my applications installed in iPad with iOS 6. Also no new app is getting installed. Installation icon appears but after some time error message "unable to connect iTunes " appears.Can some one guide me to solve this problem please?

I've had similar problems. Whenever I try and update apps on the iPhone, the app would apparently download ok, but then not install. This didn't happen with new apps - only ones I was updating.
I got around the issue by downloading the update in iTunes on my Mac, then deleting the app from the phone, then syncing. The problem with this method is that certain apps had saved settings which are lost when following this method.
However... I seem to have fixed the issue after 2 months of trying.
I followed the advice of this page:
http://www.iphoneatlas.com/2008/09/10/itunes-8-workaround-for-5002-unknown-error -when-trying-to-update-apps/
Then I repaired disk permissions and finally I completely erased and restored my iPhone BEFORE I synced it after the moving of the Mobile Applications folder.
It's all working perfectly now and made my life much easier (especially with Aurora Feint updates), so I hope that this method works for some others.
Good luck.

Firefox 3.6.13 Update will not update and install plugins or extensions. It will prompt for a restart every time, instally nothing. Is there a fix?

Plugins such as Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft Silverlight will show as needing an update on Plugin Check (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/) but every time it downloads, installs, and restarts Firefox, the program is not updated.
This error also occurs when updating Addons. They'll be listed as updated awaiting a Firefox restart, but every Firefox restart does not fix the problem. If I go to uninstall an Addon, it'll say it's ready to uninstall pending restart, but after a restart it is still installed.

I had the same problem, until I did some research. I uninstalled firefox 3.6.13, and reinstalled firefox 3.6.12. When I did some research, I found that the quicktime plugin had been blocklisted. I disabled the quicktime plugin, updated to firefox 3.6.13, and the problem was gone. My add-on window doesn't freeze up anymore either.

Unable to update or install packages in pacaur

Hello All!
I have been using pacaur for a well over a year and have loved it. Yesterday, I started to run into an issue where I was unable to install or update any AUR packages using pacur. I looked online and didn't see anyone who was running into the same issue as I was. I have a gist that shows the output of:
bash -x pacaur -Syu
Does anyone have any suggestions for resolving this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you so much for your help. Spyhawk, I found your previous post here. I tried using the --ignore flag with the chef and ruby-mime-types packages, but that didn't work. I finally went and manually installed the chef aur package and all its dependencies. Still, when I go to update my system with pacaur, it doesn't work. Here is the new output. Any further ideas?

Unable to update or install Itunes- apple mobil device failed to start.

I initially turned on my computer (running Windows 7) to a RunTime error R6034.
I thought this was just a random occurrence. But then I was unable to get the update for ITunes to work. So I went about uninstalling the program to re-install. Now I keep getting this error:
I have tried a clean boot and disabled the mobile device and my runtime error goes away- however I still get this message when trying to install ITunes. I'm not sure what is going on. I really need to get ITunes back on my computer

the error code is 2324

Error 1310. Unable to update / repair / install

For over a week, on start up of my computer Adobe Acrobat tries to do an update - and fails due to " error 1310. Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActivX\AcroPDF.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory "
But on cancelling - program worked fine.
Today - same error but now Adobe Acrobat will not open citing serial number error.
I tried to repair using the install disk - same Error 1310
I then uninstalled Adobe Acrobat
Then I tried to re-install - same error 1310.
Adobe reader runs OK
But I need the acrobat.

Thankyou so much.
For some reason I could not get the forum to do an reply.
It worked but not they you thought.
I did the administrator thing – but it still bombed out with same error.
I went back into the folder and tried to delete what was there – but could not due to “permissions” – so I renamed it AAA.
Then I did then install – but this time instead of my initials for the user & business labels + serial number, I put in administrator for the user, initials for the business name + serial number – and it worked.
I don’t know if it was the renaming of the activX folder (though nothing was is in it) or the administrator name on the registration page – but it worked and all is OK with my world again.
Thanks for your help.

Unable to update and install iPhoto, numbers and keynote

Hi,
I am not sure whether anyone has similar problem but I do hope someone can help me with this issue that I am facing.
I have just purchased the iMac a few days before Maverick release. So now I have updated it to Mavericks for my iMac.
After the update to Maverick.
I am updating all the necessary apps like iMovie, iPhoto, Garageband and iWork stuff and have encountered this problem.
No matter how many times I click updates (have been trying for the past 2-3 days too) for iPhoto, Numbers and Keynote , these apps just failed to update. it is just shown " an error has occured" under the purchases category. Also under the Purchases, my iPhoto app icon is "?" (while the grey button instead of "update" it show "pause" .
Please let me know if anyone has any answer to this issue.
Also, I have a question. Why does my Numbers and Keynote, I can install but PAGES I need to pay ? Does anyone has the problem too?
Hopefully someone can help me solve this problem! Thank you!!

You can manually flash another country's firmware however to answer your question - Before generic handsets get the update the networks have to all authorise the update, I'm not saying they have to release the update but they do have to authorise it - Then Sony will be authorised to release it to generic devices - So if your device is network locked then it's your network that needs to release the update via Sony

New T-mobile Xperia Z3 unable to update and install My Xperia

Hi,
I called support about this issue but haven't heard back. My phone comes with premium Lookout app and thought this was preventing me from getting the software update in the "About Phone". My phone already says up-to-date and does not download the Sony My Xperia pp.

Can't update/search/install packages via pacman or yaourt

Everything was fine until I manually installed package-query and yaourt and now I am unable to update/search/install packages via pacman or yaourt.
Earlier I was having trouble installing the package-query and yaourt packges using pacman so had to install them manually and now it wont connect to the repos.
My eth0 is up, the proxies are set, all browsers work so no problem from the network side.

Once you're done, disable the repository though because everything except for yaourt is out-of-date by at least a month.
Don't ever suggest that. The repo is 100% useless since it is trivial to install yaourt from aur. Also yaourt/package-query in that repo is often broken/outdated.
Also it is not relevant to op's problem anyway. There were some routing issue to leseweb the other day, I also noticed it. Just switching mirror works fine.

Is there any way to verify that your installed plugins are up to date without using the Plugincheck page via Tools/AddOns/Plugins/Find Updates ?

I installed Firefox 3.6.13 on a new computer and updated the plugins via the Plugincheck page. Now when I visit the Plugincheck page, it says "No plugins detected" although several plugins are installed as indicated in the Addons dialog box and About:Plugins page. The Plugincheck page used to show all the installed plugins and flag them as either up to date, out of date, or unable to detect the version.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

I recently did a system update and installed Yosemite on my Mac. Now I am unable to open CS5 at all. The error message I get is this: "To open Adobe Photoshop CS5.1, you need to install legacy Java SE 6 runtime." I have tried downloading this and it still gives me the same mess

In the details it is mentioned that it is an outdated version of Java.
Is this a security risk that i need to live with to get CS5 to run with Yosemite?
Also i need to reject messages from Java in the future about updates, or not?
thx for any input

I have the iPhone 4S and have received a notice in the "settings" area indicating a "General" Software Update is available concerning fixes of bugs etc. I am sitting right next to my wi-fi network and am still unable to download and install the iOS7.0.2 download. You have a website listed on the window but that appears to be a non existant site and I cannot even communicate my problems to you via that site. What the heck is happening? Why do you send me boggus info to download and then not allow me the opportunity to do so? I never had these types of problems with SAMSUNG!

You may have triggered some intermittent database issues but it should be running smooth by now. Let us know if you still see server errors.
Also, if your addons appear to go missing after updating there is a workaround http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/09/28/issue-discovered-with-firefox-add-on-upgrades/ And there is a 7.0.1 fix on its way.
