When logging on a Software Update window opens, no way to get more information on update, is it legitimate update ?
When logging on to Firefox a window has been popping up, first line says "It is strongly recommended that you apply this update for Firefox as soon as possible". Further down in the window a line reads "View more information about this update". Clicking on that line returns nothing. Is this a legitimate update and if so why can't I get more info. on it? If not how can this window be kept from popping up and who is responsible for it?
You appear to be running firefox 4.0. The latest version is 4.0.1. To update, click Help | About Firefox | Check For Updates.

When logging on to Hotmail, a window opens asking me "What to do with this file" for "default.aspx"
This morning, I am unable to log in to Hotmail. The homepage appears normally, but after I enter my email address and password and click to submit them, a window pops us asking me what to do with the file "default.aspx." I have a Vista machine, and last night my computer automatically installed a ton of Microsoft updates. In fact, the update list shows that one of the updates failed to install. At the end of this message, I have pasted the details of the failed update. I have checked the Hotmail support forum, and someone else posted that the have experienced the same problem this morning. The Microsoft "expert" asked him or her to contact Mozilla for support for this issue. Thanks in advance for whatever help you can provide, although I highly suspect that this is a problem on the Microsoft/Hotmail end, not yours.
Here is the info on the failed software update from last night...

http://support.microsoft.comHotmail is rolling out a server change at their end which might be causing this problem. Mozilla has spoken to them about it and they are trying to fix it. I won't be able to provide you a time estimate by when it will be solved but hotmail/mozilla is certainly looking at this issue.
I will let you know if get any updates! -

I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??
Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?

When I check for software updates only itunes and random other updates show up but not security updates or safari update. When i check installed updates I realized my last security update was 2011-004 and I still have safari 5.0.6. Can anyone help me?
Don't panic. OS X 10.5.8 is the most popular PowerPC OS out there. People run it everyday without security breaches, including myself. It isn't Windows!
If you're really that worried, I highly recommend Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition. Supports PowerPC & Intel and Mac OS X 10.4-10.7.

How are you supposed to fix "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" alert appears when you remove Apple software in Windows if it doesn't work on Windows 8 or 8.1???
See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. You may have to uninstall what you can, reboot and delete the named folders, then reinstall.

Some sites(like youtube for instance) want me to update Safari but when I go to Software Update under the apple it says there are no updates. What do I do now?
Upgrade the computer’s OS, or switch to a product such as Firefox.
To upgrade, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

when I request a software update, i am told my software is already up to date but I know it's not. how can I fix this?
The pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers cannot run any higher than OS10.5.8, and Apple pretty much stopped pushing out any updates for anything other than the current version.
If your iMac is a newer model (covered here: iMac (Intel) forum) you can run at least 10.6.8, available for purchase rather cheaply here:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and it's possible you can run higher depending on your iMac variant. So find your iMac variant, please do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info" button to get this screen:
Please tell us the code name ans number for your computer in the line I've indicated with the red arrow. For an iMac, it will either be in the format, "PowerMacX,X" or "iMacX,X" depending on the age of your iMac. The trailing numbers where I put Xs will help us help you determine what exact variant you have and what upgrade options are available.
Also tell us how much RAM is installed. Newer OS versions often need more RAM that older iMacs shipped with. -
"could not connect URL/default Content. msg when responding to printer software update
when responding to printer software update message, the attempt fails and provides the following reponse"could not connect URL/default Content. msg
Hello jfgodfrey,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
It seems that your printer will not allow an update to be installed. In order to look into this for you / see if the update is available any other way, I have a few questions.
What is the Operating System of computer you use, Windows or Mac?
What is the model of printer?
How is the printer connected to the computer, USB, Ethernet or Wireless?
Cheers,
JERENDS

I keep being asked to update my Safari but when I do a Software update it scans but never gives me a list and just says no new updates. Help please!
There are no updates to either OS 10.5.8 or Safari 5.0.6.
If you need a later version of Safari you must first upgrade your operating system to a later version of OS X. -
I updated my iphone to IOS 6 which means i also need to update my itunes. When i tried to do this it said I need to update software but when I click on software update, it searches and then says no updates available. Can anyone help me please? thankyou very much
10.5.8 is the final version of Leopard. After that you need a paid-for upgrade to Snow Leopard - if your Mac can run it:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from download, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard. -
My iPhone 4S had the iOS 6 update and I have been trying to download all day but it won't work and now when I go to software update of says iOS 5.1.1 is up to date. And I cant restore my iPhone becuase when I go onto iTunes it says that it can't find my iPhone.

Should I go to an apple store?

When I launch address book, multiple windows open
When I launch address book, multiple windows open, and I can't find a way to close them unless I do it one at a time. I must have chosen at some point "open all contacts" or something like that, but am at a loss as to how to prevent this in the future. I've tried command +option+w, to no avail. Ideas? thanks!
Untick this box:
Or use alt/option + Cmd + Q to Quit and DIscard Windows.
Regards.

Click here, check that your computer meets the requirements, buy and install the DVD, and then run Software Update.

I have OSX 10.6.4 and when I go to software update it says I am up to date......what to do?
I have OSX 10.6.4 and when I go to software update it says I am up to date......what to do?
Hi,
I did this but it did not work. I notice that SoftwareUpdate.plist when I have dragged it to the desktop is still in Preferences.
Also, I am doubtful that I am really in safe mode as it does not say so and when I press shift on start up tone i get rapid non-stop flashing of smaller grey symbols: do not enter, question mark, apple logo; so, in order to get the flashing to stop I momentarily release the shift and the larger grey apple logo comes up and then I press shift as quickly as I can then I release it as the gears start spinning.
I really appreciate your time and trouble on this.
