first go to the firewall and make kies connect to net
and when you start kies start as administration "right click and run as administration"
or you can update through odin.

You need to make sure that usb debugging is off. That being said, Kies sucks big time. If you want to use Kies try the wireless version seems to be a bit better.
There's a update to Kies available. I went to use it last night & a big update came through ?
Phone not syncing to kies in the 1st place!!
My phone doesn't want to connect to kies, it's written connected on the phone but still gives the connecting to device msg on kies on the PC, kept waiting and waiting, but nothing!
I tried with usb debugging method, the storage medium could be read. But no way with Kies!!!
What's wrong?? Please advice me what to do?
Install latest Kies .

As has been suggested try the wireless version also make sure the phone is connected before you open Kies.
Is there some setting in your phone preventing Kies from connecting.
I've only got my S2 a few days so I'm not really into it yet.
I find that Kies is very very slow in connecting.Seems to take forever but it was quite fast over Bluetooth.
I'm also havin same problem but in my case I cant upgrade firmware via Wifi...
Actually I lost my data cable (though ordered a new one today) but yesterdar a new version of kies came and when connected via wifi ... the upgrade firmware window popped up...
but when I tried upgrading it downloaded some components (Preparing firmware ...) and then on my phone I saw tht its already disconnected n after a few sec an error came up (in kies) saying "FirmwareUpdate has stopped working" .... Interestingly kies application keeps running after this error but disconnected... I've google a lot on this but no luck (I thnk most of d ppl pref to upgrade it via usb and not wifi) ...
Also tried reinstalling kies and "factory reset" phone but no avail.
Plz help as i deadly need this upgrade (as my battery's draining very heavily on wifi.. may be this upgrade improves smthng... )

Had the exact same problem after installing the latest Kies version 2.0.2.
I just disconnected the USB , then did a reboot. It worked.
U could also try reinstalling the drivers. Tools -> Install driver
Since I updated Kies my phone isn't supported for firmware upgrades anymore. I have the DBT german stock Rom whenever I start Kies and connect my phone it's recognized but Kies tells me that it's "not supported for firmware upgrade".
Any ideas or help please?

problem with kies
Had this problem as well,but have now sorted it out..first uninstall kies and and the drivers folder which is separate to keis.. then go to samsung site for sg2, and down load kies from there, when you have reinstalled kies, then plug the usb
lead into your phone and it will reload the drivers, it solved the problem for me. .

[Q] Kies does not accept to update to my device

I have an ace bought from abroad and wanted to update via kies. Whenever I plug in my ace kies says that this device is not supported for update. The fw vision is 2.2.1
Can anyone inform how can I make kies to accept my device for update ?
Flash your phone to another stock rom using Odin, you don't have to use Kies.
I use Mac and it is not possible or problematic to use Odin for updates. I just wanted to know why kies refuses or does not update abroad device.

Kies code 1628 can't install?

I need the drivers for my old xp-laptop, and tried to install kies with no luck. Any way to get the drivers needed to get my comp to recognise my galaxy s2 i9100?
From Kies in its program folder .
From the latest USB driver thread posted on XDA this week
From a Google search .
