"Update Available" Shows on Nokia Lumina 900 but n...

About once a day I receive the "Update Available" notification on my Nokia Lumina 900. I proceed to plug it into my Mac and Windows Phone 7 Connector pops up like always. Well, when I go to "Device Options" to get the update that should be available, the "Check for Update" button is not in bold (cannot be pressed).
Any advice here?
My phone says there is an update but my Windows Phone 7 Connector cannot detect it or allow me to install one.
Thank you.

Hi savannah031909,
Have you connected your Lumia 900 to another computer before, or has it been connected at  the shop you bought it? In that case your Lumia is connected in guest mode and in this mode software updates can't be done, only sync of mediafiles. You will need to use the 'forget this device' options in settings on the first computer the Lumia was connected to or you can reset the Lumia after which it will establish a primary link with the first computer you connect to after that.
To reset your Lumia 900 first make sure you have synced your contacts and calendar(s) with your (respective) accounts (LiveID, Exchange, gmail). Sync your media files using Zune on your Windows PC or MS Windows Phone connector for Mac.
Now go to Settings>about and select reset your phone. This will completely reset and delete all user data. After the reset go through the Device First Use procedure and setup your (mail)accounts again which will sync back your contacts and calendar(s). Sync mediafiles back with the tools mentioned above and then install Reinstaller form Marketplace to have your previously installed apps transferred back to the Lumia.

  • Is there any way to download itunes to a nokia lumina 900

    Is there any way to download iTunes to a Nokia Lumina 900 phone?

    Just to be clear...
    As applenerd504 states, iTunes cannot be downloaded onto a Niokia phone, since it is a computer programme, designed to work on either a Mac or a Windows PC.
    However, if you mean songs purchased from the iTunes Store (songs), then you need to consult the documentation for your Nokia. Songs purchased from the iTunes Store are in .m4a format (also known as AAC). If your Nokia cannot play .m4a files, then you will need to use iTunes (the programme) to create an MP3 version.

  • I am trying to update my iphone software from 4.2.5 through my Mac but am not successful.  It just goes into a continuous loop saying that there is an update available and to install and restart but the update never happens.

    I am unable to update my iphone software 4.2.5 to the latest version through my Mac.  I get into a continuous loop of clicking on update and getting the message to restart the computer.  But nothing updates. 

    I imagine you are talking about iPhone 4 CDMA (Verizon, Sprint). iTunes will only allow Update or Restore to iOS 6.0.1 You need to update iTunes on your computer to current version 10.7, with computer click the iTunes Tab at the top of this page and install current iTunes 10.7 If this iTunes will not install you may need to update your computer System, or try a different computer.

  • Update available for firefox 3.6.12 but won't install;says connection timed out

    I've had firefox 3.6.12 for a couple of months. it says an upgrade is available, but won't install. says connection timed out. I tried it from IE 8 as well, same result. Took me a half our just to get to mozilla.com I installed IE 8 2 days ago, and since then, my monitor flashes the page when i'm in gmail. Also flash videos won't play worth a crap. I just installed K-lite Mega 6.6 to try to fix that.

    I wonder if it's not some of the newer technologies like HTML 5 that the other browsers support. I have the same problem, and the sites load fine in Opera. I still have 3.6 (whatever's latest), and haven't upgraded to 4 yet because of all the extensions I use. I'm waiting until it's more stable and my more important extensions are usable. I use Hulu's desktop viewer and Opera to make up for it, currently.
    Adding screenshots of my experience with it. The text will load, but no video or images. That's why I thought it might be some new language / protocol.

  • Update connection shows pending or in progress, but patches were applied

    I have two boxes, one which on the web shows in progress, and the other box, which on the web shows pending.
    Still both are fully up to date, and the jobs the web shows as in progress/pending, have already been applied.
    How/when would they become in sync ? Both boxes are checking in on a regular basis...
    TIA...

    Hi.
    A script runs every week on the portal to clean up old updates, so any out of sync jobs should be re-synchronised within that time.

  • Skype on Nokia Lumia 900 no longer available

    Dear skype support and users,
    I have been using skype for a long time on my Nokia Lumia 900 but a few days ago the application stopped working saying something like "The application is no longer available on your device". I tried to uninstall the application but now I cannot find the application anymore searching the market place (I find Skype tips and tricks but I do not find Skype!). How can it be possible? How can I have Skype working now?
    thanks for any help
    Dato

    (Just commenting here what I more or less wrote on a differnt (third party) forum.) This is not affecting me though but a friend (who got the Lumia 900, once the top model on sale). Now she got to hear that being kicked out from Skype service is for her own good. "We want everyone to experience the best Skype has to offer" meaning: nothing. And about the subscription she can read: "you will want to cancel it". It's, of course, ok to discontinue the development of the old Skype client, but completely kick customers out from own services? What kind of business model is this? What about customer service do (Skype/Microsoft) right which all my business teachers at university obviously taught me completely wrongly? Plus, in these days when you quickly face those famous internet "**bleep**storms" you simply cannot do this. That's sucidal! And last but not least... I don't remember when the official sale for the Lumi 900 stopped, but often customers sign up for a two year subscription, or get a two year guarantee. Assuming the phone was still (somewere on this planet) on sale within the last two years.... and you withdraw an essential feature. Oh, I whish I was a lawer (a lawer in the US, of course). Please Skype/Microsoft think about this once more before it's too late. Oh, my friend btw. will follow your customer friendly advice and will cancel her Skype subscription.

  • Nokia 701 code 059L499 - Update availability?

    Hi all,
    I saw a thread about update availability for user provided product codes, but that thread's been closed... can't find a new one, so I'm posting here:
    I have a Nokia 701 PC 059L499 Italy no brand. I'm stuck to SW ver 111.020.0307 but Europe support page (Nokia Italy doesn't provide a support page for 701... Why???) states current release should be 111.030.0609.
    Anyone could explain why, or provide news (release date, etc)?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    no answer but I managed to take my phone to a Nokia Care Point. They flashed the new Belle FP1 firmware without problems by changing the product code!

  • Nokia Lumia 900 - Cellular Access

    Hi,
    I live in the US and have a Nokia Lumina 900.
    I travel to malaysia but never seem to be sucessful in getting my phone there to make local calls.
    Took to a Maxis shop and no help.  At least store I visited couldn't find a SIM card that would work.
    End up making about 15 local calls while there and was charged over $80.  Bad enough - but watsed a lot of time getting directions.
    How can I easily adapt my phone for local use in Malaysia without always buying a cheap phone there??

    Your case is different from the original poster, you should have created your own thread.
    You have to understand that the cellular signal used in the US is different than the rest of the world. You also need an unlocked phone to be able to use different SIM cards.

  • 7.0.5 language support update not showing.

    i have AR 7.0.9.
    when i opened a document recently, a message popped up saying the doc may be using a newer format, asking me to upgrade.
    so i went to 'check updates' from the AR window itself.
    the available updates i could see were
    AR 7.0.5 language support, and
    Adobe photoshop album starter.
    i chose to update the first one.
    after installing, i checked control panel and the update was visible.
    then, i went to 'check updates now' again (as the problem persisted)
    once again the updates available showed the above 2.
    so i once again installed the Lang. support.
    but even after this second time install, the 'check updates' comes up showing that i need the 7.0.5 langue support.
    whats happening?

  • Repeated Update Available Notices for Installed Updates

    My computer keeps notifying me that updates available when they've already been installed and are listed as installed.
    The Command Line Tools, for instance, are listed as installed a half dozen times or so, yet it's cosnattly being offered as an available update. The list of updates available for the computer keeps growing, but they're all installed. Update All or Update will run and go through the process, but the list never clears.
    How do I get Updates to work properly and recognize what updates are already installed?

  • HT202879 I am stumped - trying to open a recent Pages file but error message says that I need a "newer version" of Pages.  My software updates show that there are no updates available.  I recently updated Pages but it is not consistent.

    I am stumped - I am trying to open a recent Pages file (created with a newer software that I thought was correctly installed recently) but error message says that I need a "newer version" of Pages.  My software updates show that there are no updates available. Pages 09 version 4.3 shows as my current version.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.
