Updates will not download anymore even though the computer meets all the requirements and it goes into and endless loop of connecting to the server, why?
Firefox used to update automatically as it's set-up to do. Now it shows an update for security and asks to download it. Then it won't download it. The box shows a bar that continually shows that it's in motion and the message says that it's trying to connect to the server but it never does. I checked the system requirements for the download and it has the requirements. Your help information doesn't give an answer for this problem. I would need to talk to someone who can help. Is that at all possible? Thanks, chezo7
You '''can not''' download version 8.0.x, the latest for your PPC MAC is the 3.6.24 version.
Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac. Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

3.6.24 version you can download from here:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
by the way a group of Mac users have created their own Community Build from the "Firefox 4+" versions.
TenFourFox for PPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 .

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,
MattHi 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.

I installed Snow Leopard, upgraded it to OS X 10.6.8, paid for and spent the hours necessary to download Lion, but Lion will not install. Even though it says the requirements are 10.6.6 or greater, when I try to install, I get a message saying I need 10.7. to install Lion. What should I do?
Hi..
Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements.
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OSX v10.6.6 or later (V10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available spare
From here > Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
If your Mac meets the requirements, installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo reinstalls the App Store for you which may help.
Restart your Mac after instaling the combo installed. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8.
If you have anti virus software installed, you may need to disable that in order to install Lion. -
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- -
keyboard backlight on my Mac Air will not go on even though I have done everything suggested....restart, off/on, reset, etc. I was cleaning screen and keyboard with soft towel when it just went off.
Hi gam727,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your issue. If you are saying that your iPad isn't responding or won't start up, or just has a blank screen, you may find the troubleshooting steps in the following article helpful:

My phone will not send emails even after the IOS 8 update. I continue to get the message of user name or password for my email are incorrect.

My iPad will not send emails, even though all the settings seem correct.
Patricia,
When you say seem correct, have you checked in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Account name > Outgoing Mail Server, SMTP and the outgoing server name is correct, then > Primary Server name is correct > Host Name, User Name, redo the Password, Use SSL is OFF or ON according to your provider, may just try it both ways, Server Port, often 25 is the best to use. -
My macbook will not download any apps from the app store. im running on mac os x 10.6.8. I don't know how to fix it, help?
Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
That will re download and install the App Store for you which may help.
It's ok to install the combo even though you are already running v10.6.8
Restart your Mac after combo is installed, try downloading apps.
Note... if you have Little Snitch installed that will prevent downloads. If you have anti virus software installed, disable that and turn off the Firewall in System Prefereces > Security. -

Newest update will not download
Newest update will not download. Every update except for the newest one has worked. Have windows vista.
There is an issue with the security certificate of Apple's download site which your browsers may have a tendency to block it.

My macbook pro will not hold life even though it is plugged in when I use it. I know the battery life is about gone, but didn't realize this effects it when plugged in or does it. It is about 7 years old. This is second battery. Am I right to think this?
You are right - a dead battery can some times play these kinds of tricks.
If this is a removable battery, I suggest you take out the battery and try running it on the power adpater alone. -
