Question / Request for Help:

How do I fix this?  I know I can update manually once or twice, but eventually I’d prefer automated.

 

Why? The Updater is a resource hog, slowing your system down needlessly and ‘phoning home’ to see if there’s a new update every time you plug your player into your computer to either charge it or add new songs. Updates aren’t released that frequently to justify using the Updater. Manual installation is a breeze . . . and you can certainly do it more than once or twice.

 

Also, how do I get access to the SMC tool if this installation is not working?

 

You don’t need it with the Fuze+.

 

And finally, anyone have any idea why the installation is failing?

 

Most likely your AV software or firewall is preventing the connection with the download server.
