• How to replace "apply downloaded update now" with "Check for Updates" in the menu help when the update fails because the downloaded update files are missing but the "Ready to install update" window keeps appearing?

  Question

  I have another type of problem with Firefox

  Description

  Window "Ready to Install" Firefox "Software Update" appeared. The folder "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates\0" contained the files update.mar, update.status and update.version. Each of the 3 files have been deleted. The next time that Firefox has been started, no update occurred because update files were missing. In the Menu bar, clicking Help showed in the menu drop-down that "apply downloaded update now" was always on the list. By clicking on "Apply downloaded update now" open "Software Update" window "Ready to install update", so that Firefox still considers that the update files exist, but they do not. In the window "Software Update", by clicking on "Restart Firefox" restart of Firefox, but once again it there's no update, and remains "apply downloaded update now" on the Help menu. How can "Apply downloaded update now" be replaced by "Check for Updates" so the update files can be downloaded?

  Version of Firefox

  3.6.3

  Operating system

  Windows XP

  User Agent

  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; RV:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

  Plugins installed

  • npmnqmp - 989898989877
  • NP-mswmp
  • Adobe PDF plugin for Firefox and Netscape "9.3.2.
  • Default plugin
  • Foxit Reader plugin for Firefox and Netscape
  • Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
  • Version 1.0.3 copyright 1996-2009 The VideoLAN Teamhttp: / /www.videolan.org/

  You can manually reset the software update feature by closing Firefox and remove the file "updates" (which seems you have done) and the two files "active - update.xml" and "updates.xml" - these are in the installation (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox) directory or in the profile folder (C:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\something.default).

  If it does not, see our KB article How to resolve the failure of the update of Firefox update error message - the section of 'last resort' can be useful, or or read this article from MozillaZine KB, software update.

  Please let us know how the above work, and if we can be of further assistance.

• Error "Windows cannot check for updates because the service is not running.

  I am using windows vista 64-bit ServicePack two on my laptop. I recently had to install new hard disks. Since then, Windows update does not work. When I check the updates dialog box appears indicating that Windows cannot check the updates because the service is not running. I used the Microsoft fix - it tool, and it recognizes that there is a problem, but cannot fix. History of the update is completely empty. I would appreciate any ideas on how to solve this problem.

  Please read this article:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2730071/en-us

  Another suggestion is maybe disable the updates of Windows

  Reset.

  Activate the Windows updates.

  Try again. (Worked for some)

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Robear fantastic job!

  Done all the steps above except 8A and everything went well.

  Did a manual search of updates and 63 reviews plus optional 9 found and installed OK.

  KB3175443, KB3178034, KB3177725, KB3167679 all found and installed OK.

  Thanks much Robear for your skill and persistence.

  You are welcome & thank you for your comments. Mark one or more of my previous posts as RESPONSE will officially close your thread (if you care about things).

  These remnants of Norton seem to wreak havoc with Windows, so is there anything I can do, apart from [another application], change to avoid this problem in the future...?

  If you want to stick with Norton, never ever upgrade to the new version (for example, from Norton 360 Norton 360 or Norton Security v23.x v23.x v22.x). Uninstall the current version, download/run a new copy of the removal of Norton & reboot tool and then do a clean install of the new version.

  Or you can switch to another (paid or free) suite anti-virus/security applications (for example, free Microsoft Security Essentials - which will be supported at least until the Extended Support for Win7 ends January 14, 2020).

• an error occurred when checking for a software update

  My iphone6s when I check for the update, dosent work and say:

  an error occurred when checking for a software update.
  Please help me
  

  Greetings harera22dec,

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

  I understand that in trying to upgrade to the latest version of iOS on your iPhone, you get an alert that says: "year error occurred while searching for an update of the software.»

  To begin troubleshooting this situation, I would first work through the steps in the section on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch in the following article, and then try the update again.

  On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

  If you cannot connect to the iTunes Store on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch:

  1. Make sure that your date, time, and time zone are correct. Tap Settings > general > Date & time. Time zone can list another city in your time zone.
  2. Make sure your iOS software is up-to-date. Tap Settings > General > software update to check for updates. You can also connect your iOS device to iTunes and click on search the update on the summary page of your device.
  3. Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi - Fi router or base station. If you use the cell service, make sure the cell data are lit settings > cellular. If you are connected to cellular data, large items can not download. You may need to connect to the Wi - Fi to download applications, videos and podcasts.
  4. Make sure you have an active Internet connection. Check your device Manual for Internet connectivity.
  5. Check if other devices, such as laptops, are able to connect to the network of Wi - Fi and Internet access.
  6. Reset the wireless router by turning and then again.

  If there is still a problem, learn what to do if your device connects to a Wi-Fi network.

  If you cannot connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support

  If the problem persists, try updating your iPhone from another network or from iTunes on a computer than this article implies.

  If you receive a message that says: "year error occurred downloading iOS ', try again later. If this happens again, try to update your device using a different network or use iTunes to update your device.

  Hello drjoe_anzaldua,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft Answers forum.

  Usually the "Windows is unable to Check For Updates" error message produced always of the blocker window update connection attempt.

  1. first of all, please check that there is no any third-party firewall preventing Windows Update to communicate with "update.microsoft.com.

  2. check if Windows Firewall is blocking the update of Windows.

  Please see the following article for connection errors:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/836941

  836941. you may encounter temporary connection errors when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update to install updates

  After following the steps of troubleshooting in the article, if you still get an error message, thanks for posting again so that we can help you.

• Windows can't check for updates 80244019 error code.

  I have a problem, the system is vista home basic. Windows can't check for updates 80244019 error code. I have read many of the forms and ran from bugs that I found from microsoft. Further investigation indicates the RPC and DCOM service Launcher are grayed out and cannot be started or stoped.   Registry settings look good for the RPC service.  The DCOM service depends on RPC service.  In the GUI at the same time say they are started but from the comand prompt, I run the command net start and neither one is registered as running.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you
