I have been trying for 2 days but when I try to update I keep getting "Failed to download repository information" and "W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.../source/Sources 404 Not Found
, W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad...y-i386/Packages 404 Not Found
, E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead." In the update manager. Any thoughts?

Good Morning:

I would try to use another repository, since this one appears to still show a 404 error. What version of Linux are you running?

I agree with Brian. Changing your repository will in all likelihood fix your issue.

Ubuntu repos
