Why won't Software Update or Sherlock work?

Are you using a proxy? If so, you need to allow access for
  • si.info.apple.com - to allow Sherlock to work.
  • swscan.apple.com - to allow Software Update to work.
  • helposx.apple.com - to allow Mac Help to work.
If you are using the proxy Privoxy you should configure the user.action file so that -filter{demoronizer} is applied to these sites.
