I just set up my home network with a linksys router and when i try to update software through Software Update, it won't connect! I am able to surf the web and all and don't know what the problem would be. Any advice or suggestions? Thanks.

same here, but it was working fine before the security update for ie, but now it's unable to connect to the internet, and i also use a linksys router
errrr microsoft is getting me mad
 
I haven't downloaded the IE security update, however.. hehe Maybe that's the problem, maybe it isn't... hmm...

maybe a firewall is stopping it? did you downlaod the 10.1.4 update? Maybe that screwed up your firewall settings....

I guess that is indeed the first thing that should be checked.
After I updated to .1.4 my email account settings were suddenly screwed up, And I also found that some of my settings were changed so...
Check FW.
btw, be carefull with the IE update though, so far I had nothing but trouble with IE. (slower,sometimes pages are not displayed, or not properly displayed, doesn't connect,...
 
no it stuffed mine also
What should I do
I wanted to get the java Update ( I'm lagging )
and now it won't connect
 
since i haven't upgraded to 10.1.4 or to IE 5.1.4, and I couldn't connect, maybe there is a problem with the apple server.. no?
 
same

just got home last night to my parents' new imac which had 10.1.2 installed. tried software update and nothing. it was connected, and it's just a modem with no firewall or anything...

something must be up in general. too much coincidence...
 
i saw that everyone was having problems.... and so I tried to do mine.. and yep it didnt work. and you know another thing? I use the network time thing so the time is exact.. and guess what? It's 5 hours behind!

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So seeing that people had this problem before even downloading 10.1.4.... Apple's servers must have gone POOF!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAARGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

I think that chibianh and irmongoose are correct. There must be a server problem with the website.

I just tried Software Up. running OS X 10.1.3 (not ..4) and there was no established connection.

Now why would there be a server problem with Apple and Software Update? The only reasons I can think of are that Apple may be changing their server clock, server operating system, or maybe even something else. What would that be?

i can't update either... i'm just going to blindly believe they are ramping up something big for update: 10.2

they want to let us download it !
 
sorry to dissapoint you kishba but then why would their time server be screwed up????

it might be a huge problem!!! someone hacked into apple's servers!???

okay now im acting up a little but still.. if it was a 10.2 update thing there would be no reason for all the other servers to get screwed.




irmongoose
 
is there any chance apple might not know about this problem? i'd guess not, but just wondering if someone should call and talk to them and see what's up... or has someone?

still nothing here. i just manually updated to 10.1.4 but it's the smaller updates with java and all that stuff which i'd rather update automatically using sw... hmm
 
If those Rack Mount server rumors are correct (I prey that they are) I bet they are updating there system to those machines, although I would have thought it would have been better thought out.
