error code 800072EFE
What's this & how to fix it?
If everything was OK, you should absolutely, positive to be able to manually update McAfee application definitions. Since you tell me that you can not do, and since you did not buy the McAfee application until after the expiration of the free trial period, the chances are that you see the effects of a hijackware infection.

Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!
HOW to do a clean install of Vista: section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation...". "ofhttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista
Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:
4 steps to help protect your new computer before going online

Tip: After getting the computer fully patched, download/install KB971029 manually:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971029
NB: The McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the McAfee Consumer products removal tool before installing updates, Windows Service Packs or IE upgrades AND BEFORE installing your new anti-virus application.

If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.
Good luck!

Error (s) found: Code 800072EFE when installing an update
Original title: KB71644 32-bit platform update
Hey, I tried to download the update for my laptop, and whenever I did, it says: "error (s) found: Code 800072EFE.» And every time I ask for help, it has nothing to do with this code.
So I decided to install the update myself on the internet, but I can't find anything, and when I do. That's all for the 64-bit platform. I can't use these that I am using the 32-bit platform. Could someone help me with this please?
Thank you very muchAnd I do not get updated in my Windows Update program.

In the case of an error in probe (4SNS), to determine what type of sensor is referenced, look for his first letter, which should be 'I' for the current "V" or "T" for temperature, voltage.
Then check the second letter from the list below to see which component it refers to:
A: ambient air sensor
B: battery
C: Central processors (CPU)
D: DC (direct current)
e: PCI-express slot
F: FireWire port
G: graphics processor (GPU)

L: liquid crystal display

4SNS/1/40000000 error code: VDOR - 18.678 &; 18.679
MBP early 2011: I just ran the AHT twice, the first round gave me an error code of 4SNS/1/40000000: VDOR - 18.678, second inning gave the code 4SNS/1/40000000: VDOR - 18.679. Does anyone know what are these error codes? My best guess is probably the RAM, I have (2) modules of 8 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3 OR wireless networking equipment installed. I've noticed recently while multitasking, the wifi connection seems to cling and web pages will not load/downloads will pick up. But the way in which applications will be blocked for 60 seconds makes me think of a bad situation of RAM I have had in the past. Any help would be greatly appreciated since the nearest bar genius lies in 2 1/2 hour. Thank you!
No RAM - 4SNS is a sensor error.

Have used the SD Transcend 360 256 MB card for data storage with success during the last 6 months on my MBP to mid-2014. Installed their wake from sleep early support software.
Above error code invite you in this context: I wake up Mac in the morning after sleep. Transcend icon "wake up" and appear on the desktop (as it should). I check disk utility and the card is recognized. HOWEVER, about 1/3 of those mornings, despite appearing and functional map icon (folder open when I click on it), when I try to write/copy a file or folder to it, I get the above error code? For about a week I missed that everything seemed normal. My current 'fix' is to eject the card (requires a 'forced ejection"which I'm concerned could damage the card?), but the card ejects without delay. 90% of the time when I remove and reinsert the card, the operating system recognizes, all right. (There are a dozen times when I had to reboot for it to be recognized.)
All the others did this experiment with the Transcend (I submitted a request for tech support to them with a persistent response of 'Question Mac'... (LOL). This error has been noted several times on the Forum discussion, but in the context of external drives and with no apparent solution. FYI, I use the Transcend (in addition to external systems) b/c it works essentially like a hard drive internal and I use it mainly for Google Drive perfectly... except for the above inconveniences. Thanks in advance!

Error code: sec_error_ocsp_unauthorized_request
I'm NOT going to be nice. Here's the description - I disabled the option "question responder OCSP servers to confirm the current validity of certificates. Has no effect. Still, I get this error:
An error occurred during a connection to * removed * .com. The OCSP server refused this request as unauthorized. (Error code: sec_error_ocsp_unauthorized_request)
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
You... don't even leave the website to load. Try again. Try again. Try again. Try again. Try again. Try again. The certificate of the site is very well as evidenced by SIX different sites of the verification of the SSL certificate. I can't add an exception because FF is unable to obtain the certificate.
I tried to clear all - cache, cookies, history, blah blah blah
I am so bored of you people cost me more time.
It's fine in IE and Chrome.
If I didn't need Firebug, I would switch to Chrome right now.
edited because of the language according to the rules-forum-guidelines
You're right, it is not sensible.
Never made an exception for the site.
FINALLY, what worked was rename the cert8.db file in the profile folder so FF could generate a new. Then FF grabbed the cert very well.
Thank you for the help, sorry for the earlier rant.

MS Security essentials is coming with "your pc could not be analyzed" error code 0x800703eb. This occurs the day after the installation of Firefox 41 with no other facilities important program or activity for some time. We had no other software security for several years, which doesn't seem like a cause as possible. Any ideas or suggestions? Others noticed and reported similar problems?
Thanks for any help
HansHello
So far, 41 Firefox installation is clean. Because your question is related to Microsoft here certain Threads are related to your problem. At the same time you can contact Microsoft Support
I hope this helps.
Thank you!

How to fix error code 22 on iphone 5 s?
Hello
My phone is iPhone 5 s 16 g and I just finished upgrading my operating system iOS 9.3.4. After updating because when I was upgrading my PHONE when it was still in lower versions that he deleted files, music, photos and other downloaded etc. apps which is I think normally during the upgrade, but then when the latest version (iOS 9.3.4), it didn't remove a single file. I just wondering and I wanted to ask if this is really what happens when upgrading to the latest version of the operating system? My other question is what you mean by error code: 22? I tried to connect to my facebook account (it is after the upgrade), when I press the log in a pop out window and say "will record in Failed" and talk about the error code 22. How can I possibly fix it immediately because I can't use my apps if that happens?
I haven't done any troubleshooting yet because I don't really know what to do.
We hope to receive an immediate response to this topic.
Thank you.
Carmel Burgos
Hello Carmel, to answer your questions:
(1) iOS updates should not delete all data on your phone, the system is updated but nothing else changes. All data and settings should remain the same. This is the normal behavior.
(2) to find mistakes Apple checkbox. However 22 is not there. 21-23 can help:
Get help with iOS update or restore errors - Apple Support
(3) for the Facebook app, you may need to contact Facebook because that's their problem. Alternatively, you can delete the app, reboot the phone and re-install the application. This works for many. Good luck.
