• 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.

• Windows update error code 80070005 when checking for updates

  I was getting updated with no problems on a clean install of Windows 7 Pro x 86.  After I installed MS Office 2007 Pro and other software.  I clicked on search for updates and I get the red box error "windows can not find the new updates" error found Code 80070005 I am logged in as a user with Admin Access.  I disabled Norton AntiVirus...    When I click view update history, it is empty, even though I've updated several times.

  Hi Willaton,

  The 80070005 error means usually you do not have permission appropriate to run the update.

  You could disable your anti-virue and malware/spyware protection temporarily to see if they are in conflict with the update installation program.

  If this does not work, I suggest you log in to the account administrators integrated and update from there. To connect to the administrator account

  1. Click Start, right click on computer, then click on manage.

  2. expand local users and groups, and then click the users folder.

  3. right click on the connection of the administrator, and then click Properties, then remove that checking the account is disabled.

  You can now restart the computer and log on to the administrator account and try the update again.

  Hope this information is useful.
