Windows Action Center says 'Connect to the internet or try again later' when I have a working internet connection

I'm running on Windows 8.1 pro version and I've had this problem since I upgrated to Windows 8. I also have problems with Windows Update getting stuck on preparing to install or downloading updates but it shows the size of updates as 0 kb and progress stays
at 0%. I usually have to reboot and then run Windows Update again to get it to work. Sometimes it also asks if I want to resume download since it thinks I'm on a metered connection.
I use a 3G usb dongle for my internet connection, but I also have manually setup a local network on my NIC (which does not have a gateway set) to connect to my backup server. If I remove the 3G usb dongle and set a gateway for the NIC (I currently also have
dsl landline which is used by other computers on the network) Windows update works without problems. I have the Windows settings enabled to download over metered connections so that should not be the problem.
Is there maybe a problem how Windows handles the internet connection using a USB dongle when you have a local network setup, or is there something else I might have missed? I did not have this problem when I was still running on Windows 7.

only windows update, action center that seem to have these problems.
Reminiscent of the same symptoms as a dial-up user. Then, one way that I could use Help & Support (in XP) was by setting Never dial in the connection and making sure that Support via H&S was the
first request I tried after connecting. Otherwise it seemed that those applications thought they could expect LAN speed performance which was obviously not the case. I have been surprised how relatively
few similar incidents there have been with PPPoE because it could have the same problem, just on a faster circuit and so lower probability of it happening.
You could try tracing with a TCP packet tracer such as NetMon to see what the timings are in each case. Unfortunately I think that the ability to tune away timeout symptoms is still very lacking in W8. Do you know what all your dongle has to
do to set up a circuit? One difference between W7 and W8 is greater use of IPv6. So you could try disabling that support to see if your symptoms changed.
Good luck

Checked the properties for the usb dongle and it doesn't have ipv6 on the protocol list at all. Can't really say looking at netmon if there is problem with timings, atleast with my level of expertise. Might try to install Windows on VM on this to see if it
has same kind of behavior since it will use the same internet connection.

I'm having problems with iPhoto and the facebook set-up. Every time I attempt to do so it says an error has occured and try again later. I have not seen a solution posted. Therefore, how does one contact Apple to solve the problem? I'm new to the world of iMac but I find it a bit frustrating trying to solve basic issues/problems:(

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

Why do videos embedded in facebook and livejournal posts say "an error has occurred, please try again later" when I click on them?

Videos embedded in facebook and livejournal posts say "an error has occurred, please try again later" when I click on them. (This doesn't happen in Internet Explorer.) I have the latest flash player, and the only firewall in use is Windows Firewall. Popups are blocked.

Thanks for the welcome and the reply!
I looked at KB25882 and my settings are good, so that didn't help.
I had this problem over a year ago, and someone at RIM found a bit set that shouldn't have been set and fixed it (that is my terminology for what happened).
I am really looking for a way to contact RIM directly. I hate going through the mill with my carrier to get it escalated to RIM for resolution...... <sigh>
Hi mgpainter
Most easiest way to Contact RIM is through your Carrier but as you don't prefer that than there is another way of support called Incident Based Support but just want to inform you that its not free.If you want have a try BlackBerry Incident Based Support .
Good Luck

What is your connection via speedtest.net ?
Check istumbler or netstumbler to verify network interference
Make sure DNS is set correctly (settings - general - network - configure DNS - automatic)

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update.

I downloaded the Microsoft Autoruns package and ran it. There are no programs in the LSA Providers tab, and Apple's Bonjour is the only program in the Winsock Providers tab. I also did the "netsh winsock reset" and rebooted. It didn't fix the problem. Any more ideas?

Hi Jen. My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse. Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too. Now to the problem at hand. I have the same problem. I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade. Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade. But I'm sure other factors are involved. Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem: What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it. Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade. Hope this works. Charlie

After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

This has been going on all day now. Is this usual or am I doing something wrong

Hello Coraliej,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you cannot access the iTunes Store at all in iTunes.
I found 2 articles that should help to get this issue resolved:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store

And
