When updating add-ons I frequently get Download error -228 for all updates. Trying again later, they all update successfully.

When Firefox starts up it checks for add-on updates. Frequently I get "Firefox could not install the file at http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/addons/10868/forefox_sync-1.6.3-sm+fb+fx.xpi because Download error -228"
This one is for Firefox Sync; I get equivalent for any others for which updates were found.
I find all updates will apply, or none. It's never some do and some don't.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately this doesn't help because without changing any setting the update will eventually install be it a day or three later.
If updates were disabled, then they would remain disabled and no updates would ever install (& I'd expect a more relevant worded message), which is not the case.
I would expect Firefox to find updates to extensions only if they were compatible, or again tell me "not compatible" rather than a nondescript "download error" message.
I have Firefox auto-updating so am on the latest release (not beta) most of the time .. until it tells me to download the latest.

    Means you have an incompatible Safari extension installed. Look in the /Home/Library/Safari/Extensions/ folder for the offending plug-in and delete it.

  • When I try to update my iPod Touch, I get an error message regarding my network connection, and it will not update. Any suggestions?

    When I try to update my iPod Touch, I get an error message saying "The iPod Software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." Has anyone else had that and how do you end up updating your iPod?

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • For weeks I have been viewing a doggy day care via their web cam.  This weekend I upgraded to Lion and have been unable to view the center since.  I get an error message for java webcam class not found.  All of my software is up to date--suggestions?

    For weeks I have been viewing a doggy day care center via their web cam.  This weekend I upgraded to Lion and have been unable to view the center.  I get an error message for Java plug-in 1.6.0_29 ....webcam class not found.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Sorry, don't know what else to suggest unless there's a URL to the problem stream that someone here can try. Otherwise we can't test it to try and determine what might be wrong.
    BTW, make sure they're testing it with a Mac, not with a Windows system. If they test only with Windows, what they say is or is not working doesn't mean much.
    Regards.

  • After recent Add-Ons, don't get "Download this video" box in You Tube.

    Cyberfolk:
    I always used to get "Download this video" before, but after several recent ADD-Ons (w/in a month or two), it no longer appears above the You Tube screen. This forces me to use Internet Explorer. Pls advise in relatively plain English, as I am a (10-yr )relatively computer literate, old school, 72-yr old cyberdude. (I was born before WW II, for Pete's sake!)
    Thanks hopefully,
    Lowtech Bob

    I had this exact problem a couple of days ago. The workaround was rather easy:
    Just go to the add-ons-manager and install some random add-on from addons.mozilla.org. Once you restart Firefox, all the add-ons are back in the add-ons-manager, but they are disabled. Just enable them all, and you're back to normal.
    All the settings, icons, etc., of the different add-ons are still there.

  • When I try to download a free app that I accidently deleted, I get an error message that says 1004, try again later. I want to reload the app and it won't let me. HELP!!

    I have an ipad2 and it won't let me reload an app that I accidently deleted. It is a free app that I had downloaded without a problem and now when I try to re-install it, a message comes up repeatedly that says Error 1004-Try again later. Please help!
    Thanks,
    Tryingtorelax

    Try this and see if it works for you.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data/Cache. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Getting download error message for video on iPad

    Purchased a "Rambo" set of three videos and can't download. Keep getting a "download error" message. What to do. Think it has something to do with the fact that there are more than one movie t,o download.

    Hi Gail,
    You have a number of separate questions here.
    +The G3 has AW 6.04 installed on it but I can't burn a CD to move it to the G4. It will no longer be used on the G3.+
    AW 6.0.4 will run only on OS 9 and earlier. You will need to update it before or after moving it to the G4. If your G3 has a firewire port, you should be able to connect it to the G4 with a Firewire cable, startup the G3 in Target mode (hold down the T key from the startup chime to the appearance of the Firewire smbol on the display). Then startup the G4 and the G3 will show up as an external Firewire drive on the G4's desktop. Copy the AppleWorks 6 folder to the Applications folder on the G4.
    +I downloaded the update AW 6.2.9 to the G4 but got this error message. " The disk image you are opening may be damaged and could damage your system." I have not opened it to install it. Why did I get that message, what are the odds that it will damage my system?+
    The message could simply mean what it says, and that would be the cautious interpretation. Delete the file and repeat the download. There's not much point in opening/mounting the disk image until you have a copy of the AW 6 folder and its contents in the Applications folder on the G4. The update installer won't do anything if it doesn't find the application there to update.
    +Some of the data was converted from Microsoft office to AW. Will it convert back to office?+
    There should be no problem, provided you have an AW to MS translator for the appropriate MS application. ("No problem" other than the usual ones concerning embedded frames—graphics, spreadsheets or tables—these tend to not translate well in either direction.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Have updated InDesign CC, but now get an error message for Font Manager.InDesignPlugin

    I have updated recently updated InDesign CC, but now I get this error when I try to open a document that was working fine yesterday:
    Cannot load Adobe InDesign CC because it requires version 9.1 or later of the Font Manager.InDesignPlugin plug-in. Please contact vendor for compatible version of Font Manager.InDesignPlugin.
    Where can I find this plugin (for Mac)?

    Thanks Peter, just saw your reply now, but that night I did uninstall and reinstall ID; in the morning did the ole shutdown - rest - command+option+p+r on start up as an added precaution and then it worked fine for the rest of the week.
    Also, I got a new computer last week. The changeover to the new mac seeeeeemed to be fine...
    However, I think Adobe suffers from Monday-itis as today I can't open any programmes as I get the attached message box when I try to  sign in to Creative Cloud. Will make this it's own post too.

    The first step is to try this Microsoft fixit:

    If that doesn't work we will have to try something more complicated. It is a could not open file error message from the installer.
