Update doesn't work - goes into a continuous "connecting with server" mode. Asked before, no response. HELP!

Each time the 'update' icon comes up (for months, now), I click to update. It never goes beyond 'connecting with update server' mode. Have never had this problem with updates to new versions before. This happens every single time the update icon comes up.

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
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/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.

    In SQL server you can configure it how to communicate with clients (Shared Memory, Named Pipes, TCP/IP).
    When the application is on the same computer with SQL server Local Named Pipes or Shared Memory are used.
    When is on other computer TCP/IP or Named Pipes are used to communicate with the server.
    Check these options and enable the appropriate.

  • I get an "install failed" message. "Recovery system can't be created-click restart to return to previous version of OS X." This doesn't work. My Mac continues to try to install Mountain Lion. What is the elegant way to get my system back?

    The first time I attempted to install ML was on a late 2011 MBP.  It ran for three minutes then gave me the error message: Could not install OSX due to an unexpected error.  I was using the original ML install app, not a USB or other drive.  
    After a couple of restarts wiht the same result I saw a message to the effect that the install was trying to close open apps.  I closed apps  manually a few times to no avail.  I shut down instead of restarting then booted into Safe mode (hold down the shift key when starting) and that did it.  The install went smoothly after that. 
    I since installed ML in two iMacs using a cloned copy of the install app on a USB drive.  This time I shut down the computers and booted into Safe Mode first and there were no problems. 
    I don't know if this issue is the one causing you these problems but it is a simple enough solution to try.

  • Ibooks 3 update doesn't work on iOS 5

    Hello, the Ibooks 3 update on my 1st gen Ipad doesn't work ! It always crashes. I'm on ios 5. Please help !!!
    Frédéric

    Alright so if you made the fatal mistake of uploading this update as I did, I have found a solution for you after much trial and error.  If you have a Mac, look in the TRASH bin and find iBooks 2.1.1ipa and move this to your desktop.  Erase the iBooks 3.0 from your iPad.  Restart your iPad.  Go to the iTunes Media fold, mobile applications and find iBooks 3.0ipa and delete it.  Now drag the file from your desktop into the apps section in iTunes.  Turn on your iPad.  Connect it to sync.  Go to apps tab and check iBooks.  After sync your iBooks library will now be restored.  I have tested it and tried it, besides I came up with this whole process because apparently apple has nothing on the entire support for this yet.  I will also post on Apple for the million other users who have the same problem.  Thanks, J.

  • HT3932 Wireless Keyboard Update 2.0  his update doesn't work!  I'm at 10.5.8 on my old iMac G5, installed the update and brightness and volume just do not work.  What next?

    This update doesn't work!  I'm at 10.5.8 on my old iMac G5, installed the update and brightness and volume just do not work.  What next?

    I have a brand new wireless keyboard... so it's never going to work.  BUT... I found a sort of work round! 
    Since it's eyeTV that I want to control the volume more than the system volume I discovered cmd and up/down arrows do the job.  I gess I'll forgo the brightness function.
    I'm a little frustrated that it appears Apple seems to want to push me towards an upgrade of a perfectly serviceable iMac G5.  I'll be keeping it to watch TV, surf the web, wordprocess and let the macbook pro handle photos & video.

  • I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI via email download via the Dell Store yesterday. The product key doesn't work/fit into any of the "Registration" templates I've look through on the Adobe website. Manufacturer Part # 65195473.

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI via email download code via the Dell Store yesterday. The product key given doesn't work/fit into the boxes on any of the "Register" pages on the Adobe website. Therefore, although I paid for the product and it is downloaded, it is not "installed" and will not work to print documents from emails, etc.

    Hi williamc48321229,
    You must have received redemption code via email from the reseller.
    Please ensure that you are entering the right code as that would be needed to obtain the serial number for activating the product.
    For more details on this, please refer:
    Find your serial number quickly
    Hope this helps.
    regards,

  • Lastest camera raw update doesn't work. Bridge no longer recognises my raw files.

    I'm using CS 6 and lastest camera raw update doesn't work. Bridge no longer recognises my raw files.

    Let's see if I can simplify it for you...are you using CS6 (yes, it seems), are you having ACR problems (yess it seems). So, do you want to fix your issues? Then read this (pay close attention to the details)...
    http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/acr-84-bridge-cs6-metadata.html
    It pretty much says you need to download a different version of ACR and install it (if it's not too diffucult for you to understand) to get ACR & Bridge to work properly...or not. Your choice...

  • Adobe Reader updater doesn't work properly in Windows 7

    For the longest time, I've been receiving update notifications from Adobe Reader, prompting me to upgrade. I always say ok, download the update. Then it always takes like 1 second to download (hard to believe it's that fast), then I get the install window. I press the "Install" button and the window disappears and I don't receive any additional messages... Until I reboot my computer and I get again the same update download prompt window.
    So it seems the update doesn't work and that's why I get that message EVERYTIME I reboot the PC. Not matter if I reboot every 5 minutes, I always get that message.
    Please, fix your updater so it doesn't annoy the user like this with non working updates!
    Since the updater doesn't work, is there a way to disable it? Thank you!

    Ok, I've added the registry setting you mentioned, then I've started "AdobeARMHelper.exe" again to get the tray notification about the available update. Then I've clicked it, I got the download window, I clicked "Download", then 1 second later I got another tray notification about the update being ready to install (maybe it takes so little time because the update is already in my computer and so it doesn't download anything). Then I clicked the tray notification and got the install window. I clicked Install, and nothing else happened, as always.
    Then, I've checked the "AdobeARM.log" file, and now it shows the following:

    It seems there are some errors in Spanish, probably because they come from Windows, which is configured in Spanish in my PC. "El sistema no puede encontrar el archivo especificado" means "The system cannot find the file specified".
    I hope you can find the problem with that information.

  • Creative Cloud Updater doesn't work

    Hello,
    last year I downloaded a trial version for the creative cloud. Then I decided to buy a normal CS6 license and didn't use CC anymore.
    Now I would like to try Adobe Muse. But somehow I just can't use the CC updater anymore. When I try to install it again, the installation just stops, without a warning or anything and nothing happens.
    I hope somebody can help me, thank you!
    Antonia

    Hi Jeff,
    Thank you for your help. It works now, i uninstalled CC and installed it again.
    Best

  • Need BIOS Live Update Doesn't Work!!!! + S3 Sleep Resume Problem

    Most frustrating.  Live Update doesn't work and can't find download link for a new BIOS.
    My System:
    MSI P6NGM-FHI (1.1)
    E8200 Core 2
    MSI Geforce 6600 128M
    Vista 64
    Seagate 250g x 2 Raid 0
    Want to update Bios to see if it will fix sleep problem
    My system enters S3 sleep.  But doesn't wake up.  Fans start up but screen remains black.  I have to unplug for some time to reboot.
    I want to try new 1.2 bios to see if it will fix my problem.  But can't find BIOS file anywhere.  Most frustrating...
    And that stupid Live Update doesn't work!!!!!

    -  Update CPU Micro Code.
    -  Update NVMM version.
    -  Fixed system cannot resume from S3 with E6xx series CPU.
    If its BIOS related you will need a future version, since you have E8xx
    Have a ask MSI here: http://ocss.msi.com.tw/
    What OS you are running?
    Have you tried latest VGA drivers?
    How is configured Recall VGA from S3 in BIOS?

    ME TOO.  NOW MY IPHONE 6 PLUS IS SAME LIKE YOU.
    iphone is diabled- connect to iTunes because i forget passcode.
    i cannot connect iTunes because it's always asking to enter passcode on iphone.
    So, i cannot make restore my iphone 6+. And then, I cann't erase "device" in icloud.
    My iphone is new. No icloud. didn't connect to itune backage.
    That's why I try to connect iTunes but it need to enter passcode.
    So, my iphone just keep "iphone is disbled-connect to iTunes".
