Connection to the server to update iTunes on Windows 7
Hi all, grateful for the advice. I'm trying to sync my iPhone only 6 and iPod touch to my iTunes library on my Windows 7 PC. It's an older version (2012 - I can't see the exact version). The computer recognizes the devices when it is connected, but iTunes is not. Tips suggest that I should update my iTunes. However, this is where I struggle. I get the message that "the iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later "." This seems to be a common problem and I tried all the troubleshooting tips that I could find. I am connected to the Internet and can connect to the iTunes Store for connectivity is not the problem. I've disabled the security settings and edited my host settings too. Still no joy. Grateful for all of the other suggestions that I could try to fix this annoying problem please.
For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.
Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.
The more information box has direct links with the current and recent if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with third-party software.
Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

Assuming that you have a valid SIM card in the phone, it is more often symptomatic of a phone that has been hacked or jailbroken to unlock.
Where do you have the phone first?

If he has problems with the update or the permissions then simpler is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop disk image (dmg)
- Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Trash the present application Firefox to do a clean (re-) install
- Install the new version you downloaded
Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re) install Firefox.

Get invites to day 6.0.2 then cannot connect to the server to update
Recently started using Firefox on my MacBook. FF invites me to download the new version (was 6.0.1, 6.0.2 now) but when I click to update, FF tries to connect to the server to update, but some stays with the "connect to Server" dialog box, never completed the upgrade. About FF in the menu, it says I'm on 6.0 and I'm on the latest version.

Regularly alert is displayed to update me to 20.0 but it does not connect to the server - even if I have no problem with the modem at another time. It just hangs there. I thought that Firefox will update automatically. I have topped up, as advised but still 19.0.2. On the message States, I am currently on the channel "update of output". What does that mean? Do I need an update? Why?
"update of output" means that you are using the stable version of Mozilla Firefox.
Have you tried to reset firefox and then runs the update to verify that it contains that you are to the latest version?

update to connect to the server never connects I tried to reset. Use 14-10
Hi, I use Firefox 14-10. I get a notice and a link to update. I click to update. It is said: "Connecting to the update server" forever. I can leave it like that for hours, is not serious. Never connects. I tried to reset my firefox but still do not connect to the server.
I read a few answers, but they are very old. I don't want to uninstall and reinstall if I can help it.
I use Windows 7.
Thank you!If there are problems with the update then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Remove the Firefox program folder to remove all remaining files if there are still problems.Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.
- Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you will also lose your personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.
Your bookmarks and other profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

I go about Firefox and click on the updates button control the browser downloads the update, I restart Firefox and behind the browser window is a window that says: it is strongly recommended that update Firefox. It is also a link to get more information about this update. The link is not responding, so I click on 'Next' and connect to the server and it never connects. I let it run all night and it connects. I get this window even after that I updated to Firefox. How can I do that, go away? Is this a legitimate Update window or something try to redirect to a malicious site?
In fact, the window just jumped upward once again, as I was typing this message.
If there are problems with the implementation at day then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to remove all remaining files.

FF says that an upgrade is available. After that has been done and restarted FF another window opens saying that a very important (urgent) update is nesscary, when I click on the button NEXT, a progress bar appears and says the connection to the server, but NEVER seems to connect, and no matter how long I leave it does NOT connect. It just sits there trying to connect while I use FF.
Do a clean install (re)-:
- Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.
- Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Uninstall your current version of Firefox and remove the Firefox program folder before installing this copy of the Firefox installer.
- Do not remove the data of a personal nature if you uninstall the current version.
- It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
Your bookmarks and other profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.

Updates Service Pack XP (annot to connect to the server)
Only, I recharged my old PC with windows xp, but cannot get updates or Service Packs 1 or 3... I'm not an expert on rockets & try to understand ot he website is a pain... I went to the Download Center you are looking for the link (DOWNLOAD SERVICE PACK ISSUES) and could not find it. He said somting about downloading directly to the PC without having to be connected at install.because when I try it on the site, I get error messages (cannot CONNECT to the SERVER) I'm just trying to get the old PC running on all cylinders again but didn't know what I was getting in... Thanks Denny
I had the same problem.
It turns out that, SP1a, being a "Quick install" package, has no corresponding data on the Microsoft server.
This file, for some strange reason, which is still referenced and recommended by Windows Update.(At least for now), you must install Windows XP Service Pack 2 Package of Network Installation for developers and the professionals instead, in order to install the SP3 update.
It's just 266 MB download, not the download of 1 MB as downloads (nothing)... in order to install the download 544 MB.
I hope this helps!
