Update will not download-what do I do?

I have a password protected user account on a workstation that keeps getting update notices that ask me to install the latest version of Java. I enter the password which enables the Java Install popup to appear, but when I click Install*, I get the following popup
Error - Java(TM) Update
Failed to download required installation files.
I'm wary of uninstalling my current version without consulting those more knowledgeable than myself, because I don't want to find that I still won't be able to successfully update and get stuck without any operating version of Java on board. Advice please.

The default download on java.com is the 'online' installer, where the initial download is a very small binary, that when run downloads the required installation files. I suspect that some AV software, proxy, firewall, router or something, between the installer binary and the download servers is impeding/blocking the download of the files.
The general workaround for this is to download the offline installer, which contains all the necessary files to complete the install. The end result of installing the online and offline is the same, only the install mechanism differs.
Offline install location on java.com:
https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Windows Offline filesize: 30 MB

HT201412 app updates will not download what is the solution ?

app updates will not download

I am having a similiar issue, but I am not getting any error messages. The App Store tells me I have updates. I go to update all, then they just hang in limbo.
The first app listed was Pages which I thought was causing the problem as it requires Mt. Lion and I don't have that yet. None of the other apps would update. I deleted Pages from the ipad and tried again. When I go to the App store from my MBP, it tells me there are no updates, so I can't even download them to the computer. The ipad still tells me I have updates. I click the "update all" button but now, only one app loads at a time and I must wait awhile and repeat the update all to have another one load. I have not experienced this at all since I've owned it - over a year. Any insight would be helpful - trying to avoid Restore if possible. Thank you-

If you see the "Purchased" option on the main screen of the iTunes Store, here's what I'd do:
1) Go into your library and delete the file if it downloaded. If not, go to your downloads and delete it from there to stop it from download.
2) Go to the Purchased pane in the main iTunes Store section, locate the item, and try the download again.
Also, you may wish to turn off any anti-virus or anti-malware programs before you try this again, as that sometimes is what can be blocking the download. Otherwise, contact iTunes Store Support:

If restarting the computer and iTunes doesn't work you can try one of these suggestions.
1. If items appear (maybe in grey or different from working songs) but don't play you can try to delete them from your library so they will no longer seem to be there to the iTunes store.
a) select the item
b) press option and delete key assuming a mac keyboard
c) yes, send them to trash
d) restart Itunes, go to store, check for available downloads, and select download all

Certain Windows updates will not download on any PC on our network

Hi,
We've had a problem that seemed to develop a couple of months ago in that certain Windows updates will not download to any PC on our network, most notably IE11 and .NET 3.5.1 updates. Most others will download and install with no problem at all.
I have tried running the Windows Update Fixit, I have tried deleting the /Windows/SoftwareDistribution folder, I have tried the System Update Readiness Tool, I have added the various Windows Update server URLs to our firewall whitelist, I have
tried a clean boot, but to no avail. Downloading and installing the affected KB patches manually works fine though.
When I connect any of our PCs directly to an external router the updates download and install fine. It's only when connected to our network (which comprises a Peplink WAN load balancer, Cyberoam CR25iNG security device, Windows 2003 domain controller
& Arista 10Gig switch) that the problem exists.
Most updates download successfully but others only get to a certain percentage downloaded, most commonly 45%, although I'm not sure if that's a meaningful figure.
For example, the most recent batch of updates all download and install fine except for KB2982378, KB2894844, KB2972211 & KB2973112. Is there something those updates have in common that something on our network could be blocking?
I'm really unsure where to try looking next, so if anyone has any suggestions they would be very welcome please.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,
When you connect to an external router directly, does your network location change to private or still domain network?
I suspect this is related to some firewall setting, even related to your network security device.
Please check or upload the WindowsUpdate.log ( %windir%\Windowsupdate.log), we can find some information about downloading phase.

Updates will not download

I gey update notices but they just loop and will not download, nor can I download at the itunes site.

One approach, if you haven't tried it would be to do a restore...then when putting your stuff back on after the restore, incrementally add the apps back in....
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If that doesn't work, you could try dfu mode....I haven't tried this in iOS 6, but imagine it works the same...
DFU mode[1] is a state that you can put your iPhone into where it can interface with iTunes but does not load the iPhone operating system or boot loader (this is what really differs DFU mode from recovery mode). DFU stands for Device Firmware Update.
While connected to PC, running iTunes, hold down Home and Power( button on upper right edge) button for exactly 8 seconds.
Release the power button. Restore message will appear in iTunes. The device will be recognized by iTunes, but no display will appear on the device itself. The lack of a display on the device will verify that it is in dfu mode.

Israelboy,
In the Mac App Store, there will be a link labled "Support" in the "Quick LInks" box.
That will take you to: Apple - Support - Mac App Store .
Then click on the "Troubleshooting" link.
