Please try another attempt to update the control panel > system and security > Windows Update > check updates

Should I use Windows update for updates or download Toshiba bullet only?
Hello
I have Toshiba Satellite laptop computer with Windows XP. I wonder what should I use windows update to download patches and additions or only
install quick fix from the Toshiba support pages? Is there a difference?I noticed that to the Toshiba support site, there is no new update (miracles) have come in this year at all.
I ask this because I have some time ago asked Toshiba (when I contacted their support) I use only WLAN updates provided by Toshiba, Intel does not update even if I have the Intel WLAN card in my laptop and there was new driver at the side of Intel.
I agree with the previous user. I never installed all the patches page download Toshiba, just used Windows Update option in Explorer. So far, I've never noticed some problems.
If you clean the OS installation I recommend you to install SP2 (if missing) and after doing this run Windows updates.
I can't tell you much on Intel, but I repeatedly used newer drivers directly from the Intel download page.

My wife and I just upgraded to the 6s. His phone will not update the downloaded applications under my apple ID and continues to request the password for my apple ID. We are entering the correct password, but he told us that he failed. I restarted and disconnected icloud on his phone. We never had this problem before. Why her phone does not accept the password of my apple ID. And Yes, I've confirmed that the password is correct... I had to use it to post this question.
Thanks for any help.
Promulgated by this Apple ID on his phone? Have you checked the settings > iTunes and App Store and make sure that the ID is good in there?

My iPhone won't let me update or download apps
My iPhone doesn't let me update or download apps. Yes, I have lots of storage... it was just the thing to circle in the app store, but nothing downloads. When I get to my home screen it just has the application and has no recollection of download.
Brooklyngk wrote:
.. He has just the thing of circle in the app store...
It is on a single application, or more than one? If more than one, click on all except one and get them to take a break. Update one application at a time.
Also try to reset your iPhone. Press and hold the power and home together for 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.

I can't Live Update my Max Total Security that I get the message "DB update failed download!» Max Support also did not help at all. Disappointing. What should do?
Do yourself a favor and remove the application. Mac do not need AV applications and at best, they will be not hard (but not good either) and at worst will corrupt your system / OSX's built in protection. Your concerns are malicious software that requires the cooperation of the user to install, not the virus.
For more information, please read this:
Ciao.

ERROR_INTERNET_CANNOT_CONNECT
I tried net stop wuauserv & net start wuauserv in cmd. I also tried ipconfig/flushdns. I disabled all my third-party anti-virus software. I tried to access %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts Notepad in Notepad, but it says that the file is not found, and I tried to rename the Software Distribution to SDold. I tried everything that was suggested to me, and nothing has worked.It is possible that a 3rd party anti-spyware, firewall, web Accelerator program, program of security/antivirus Internet and/or a proxy server interferes with the Services Windows Update (SVCHOST) to access the Internet.
Suggest you add the Windows Update Web site addresses to the list of exceptions / allow
http://*. Update.Microsoft.com
https://*. Update.Microsoft.com
http://download.windowsupdate.comIf that does not help, check that the Windows Update Service can connect to Internet via ports 80 and 443.
You may need to consult the documentation of the individual programs for further instructions.
