Download updates on phone line ISP will take forever

My friend has an old computer with OS XP SP3 and updating Windows inform him he will take nearly 4 hours to download all updates. They are seniors and their telephone line cannot be tied up during this period. I know that the files that must be downloaded, can I simply download them to my USB and download them on his computer.

Thank you.

  • Once I update my phone to iOS9 will always sync with iTunes on my iMac with OS 10.7.5?

    Hello, my name is Catherine and I have a few questions. First of all, where I am and where I want to go:

    I have an iMac end of 2006 with OS X Lion installed, which is the most recent this computer can manage, if I understand correctly.

    My iPhone is a 4S which currently still holds iOS6 (6.1.3) installed. I want to upgrade to iOS9.

    Now the questions:

    The iPhone 4S is compatible with iOS9? If so, can upgrade directly to iOS9, or do I need to step it up?

    Once it is upgraded to iOS9 will always sync with iTunes on my old iMac?

    Any advice on this process are appreciated.

    Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my request.

    Catherine

    Side note: it was strangely difficult to determine which community/category for this post, so if this is not the right pair, pointing me in the right direction would be more useful. Thank you!

    You need at least OS X 10.8.5 (not 10.7.5) or later version to use iTunes 12.3 which will supported iOS 9.

    http://www.Apple.com/iTunes/download/

    Yes, the iPhone 4S turn iOS 9 (but the iPhone 4 does not work).

    It syncs with your old Mac?  It depends how old.  The Mac must be running at least OS X 10.8.5 and hopefully will last OS X 10.11.1 (current version).

    You can update your Mac directly - if you can update the Mac at all.  If you can update depends on the age and model.

  • I've been trying to download updates from Windows, but they will go through. I received the error code 646 was the last.

    I tried everything that was offered and I am still unable to solve my problem. I also have updates pending when I close my pc but when my pc stops that they still operate as if they were never installed. It says installation updates when I turn on my pc to restart, but still they always appear everytime I go to restart or shut down. IM pulling my hair out on this one. Any suggestion or help please. I didn't do anything or add anything to my pc. I run Vista in case this may help.

  • because I downloaded the 7.0.1 version it takes forever to reach any site

    I downloaded the 7.0.1 version recently and since then, the browser appears to hang when you try to reach any url. Sometimes it is faster but on average, it may take MINUTES or never reach the page. I also use GoogleChrome and access is instant. My connection is fiber optic wide Bank, 6 mb, so this isn't a problem. In recent years, FireFox is my favorite browser, but if this problem persists I'll be forced to use an alternative one.

    The default value of the pref Network.http.Max - connections has been increased from 30 up to 256 in versions of Firefox 6 +.

    You can try to decrease the value of the pref Network.http.Max - connections from 255 to a setting more modest as 30 such as used in versions of Firefox 3.

    • bug 692260 - increase Network.http.Max - connections seem to cause hang, requires a restart of the browser

  • I have a simple question which I'm sure someone will be able to respond easily - I have windows xp, I've added nothing to my machine, but it does not now download updates - when I try to go on the microsoft download Web site - I can't. Help, please.

    I don't know how long this has happened, I get the shield down, but my downloads are not downloaded.

    I know that I probably won't get a response to my three questions, but I want to post a separate thank you.  It's really great that you use your knowledge to help people like me who just bumble along...  Thanks again.

    Now I have 3 questions that are not questions of direct update but I have the feeling that you can help.

    I now have service pack 3

    1. is windows better than Kerio firewall
    2. I said do not install IE8 - what you think
    3. should I perform MAM and Onecare safety scanner regularly.

    I thank in advance.

    J

    You're too kind, Joan. And, you're welcome mowst. Let's start from the beginning.
    Does firewall Kerio and AVG protect your system ?
    Go by the log MBAM, the answer is No .
    Windows native firewall is a sufficient protection when a system is on a network where the router contains a hardware firewall . A router that has a hardware firewall is not so expensive and well worth the investment.
    You can use a wired router, as opposed to a router costs a little more, if necessary.

    Now, as for the antivirus, I'm not a big fan of the AVG used by the user to type.
    I would recommend that the user typical home use AntiVir or Avast on moy. Like AVG, both are free for home use.
    For paid AVs, I would recommend NOD32 or FPROT .
    Microsoft Security Essentials, which is also free, we hope to be a solid AV, but I can not recommend at this stage.

    Installation of critical security updates, it is a needs . It seems that some malware has been able to infect the system due to the absence of the same installation. Specifically this one:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet004\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\ {f5eb5c1a-9817-46c9-b36a-6a6a007a8621} \NameServer (Trojan.DNSChanger )-> Data: 85.255.115.110,85.255.112.175-> quarantined and deleted successfully.

    Indicate if another update problem occurs that you wait not long to take care of it. Installation of critical security updates prevent many infections.

    I think that IE8 is the best browser that MS has ever released. If you choose to install it, strongly suggests you download the standalone installation package manually and Save it. Close all open programs and browsers.
    Temporarily disable the antivirus installed by following the steps in clean boot, and then install it.
    Make sure that you reboot twice when it installs.  You should receive at least a prompt to reboot, but do another after recommend an anyway.

    Now, back to the question 3. Strongly suggest you boot the system in Safe Mode and do a full scan of the system, just to be sure that MBAM has detected and deleted all the malware. Make sure you update MBAM before each scan .
    You can do it in normal mode Windows or Safe Mode with setting in network, but not in Safe Mode as long as the system is not connected to the internet in Mode without failure.
    It will take time for the full analysis to run, but it was worth. There may still be present hidden malware.
    And Yes, do at least an fortnight analysis with MBAM is well worth.
    In fact, you should consider buying the paid version, as the protection in real time, unlike the free version, and it will not come into conflict with the installed AV.
    Did a scan monthly with the OneCare safety scanner is also a smart thing to do.

    BUT , if it were a client system, I no longer trust him to bank services online or any other financial transaction.
    The system may have wrong headed by the DNSChanger trojan to web sites that were not what they seem.
    As well as information from financial transactions, passwords that you use, and no personal information stored on the system were also sent to the malicious web servers.
    To strongly suggest that you change every password you use just to be on the safe side.
    If you need or want to do transactions from this new system so the only way that you can trust , it is to format the hard drive and reinstall XP. Now that Service Pack 3 is installed and If you have the XP installation CD, you can do what is called a slipstream SP3 with the installation CD. In this way when format you and reinstall XP, it will be the SP3 and you'll save time by not having do not install several security updates.
    It's really not hard to do. Here's a good tutorial with graphics that explains it all:
    XP CD slipstreamed Windows using SP3

    And, finally, any AV or security program protects a system when the user installs the questionable software .
    Be very careful of free software, stolen software, cracked, key generators and other programs.
    Always investigate any software that seems too good to be true. As in real life, something that seems too good to be true probably is . Discover the software using Google or Bing to see what others have to say and to report on this issue.

    Be careful and safe surfing, Joan.

  • Windows Update will not download updates.

    Today I've eliminated my Windows xp and you use the xp disk I reloaded and formatted a new. I did this in the past and had no problem today, I find that after doing everything and windows stops then I went to windows update, that he asked to install active x and will not update download. There is nothing in my add and remove programs. Not sure how to proceed

    Open Internet Options, Security tab, click Trusted sites, click Sites.

    Uncheck: Require server verification box, add the 4 websites above.

    Try again, if successful, use the custom Option and uncheck all of the updates.

    Read the first update for .net to tell the first and only download.

    Download it, reboot and go back to check again for any .net and .net only download.

    Make updates to .net security, then check again for .net or .net Security.

    When there is no more .net then do the other.

    Perform these tasks in groups and not all at the same time.

    This how to install .net first will save problems later.

    If you want to have the time and Patience, you must install the Service Packs first.

    If you later reinstall OS and you install the drivers manually install the Service Packs right after OS reinstalled before installing any drivers. You can first install the drivers but it is better Service Packs first as sometimes when you install a Service Pack after the drivers, you can find some drivers do not work and you have to reinstall these drivers.

    For people using the original image, your drivers are already installed then install Service Packs just after the factory restore before installing applications or devices or download Windows updates.

    Service Packs using immediately also save hundreds of download of the updates of Windows first of all that all updates to the top until the release of Service Packs are included.

  • After a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium, how long will it take to run updates and it will take a lot of bandwidth?

    updates after clean install of Vista Home premium

    I plan on upgrading the hard drive on my laptop two year old, which will require a clean install of Vista Home Edition full.  I live in a remote with the satellite internet service.  I would like to know in advance what will happen after the installation with the updates of the program.  I will ask you to install them? It would take a lot of bandwidth?

    Hi EllenCB,

    Welcome to Windows Vista community responses.

    Once you make a clean installation on your hard drive is erased. Now, when you install the operating system return updates that have been deleted will be delivered by Windows update to install on your computer. To save time and bandwidth, you can directly install Service pack 1 and Service pack 2 for Vista which would contain more updates. Of course when you run Windows update and when you try to download from the internet, your download speed will decrease. It is best to keep your system up to date which will allow your version of Windows to run better.

    Before installing the update, run the checksur tool, this tool is running an ad hoc analysis of inconsistencies that might prevent future maintenance operations. Download the tool from the link below.

  • Win XP Pro will download updates but install fails

    I have a problem with win xp pro. When I download updates they will download but the installation fails. At the same time when I would shut down the computer, it would be the installation of the updates. Now she even won't do it. Is the a link to the updates, where I can download updates and install them manually? I think I did it once but I forgot to bookmark the link. Now all I get is there is no update available.  I have the auto download and install settings, so I don't know if I'll keep updating the value. Is there a way to check my updates are up-to-date. Also, I ran fixit and he could not solve the problem. Thanks in advance
