If I try to install updates for Ubuntu 14.04 through the terminal it won't work, I have to do it through about my computer. In the terminal a lot of err and failed lines come up and it takes forever for this failed update to take place. I also try applying changes to switch to a proprietary guide for my graphics card but a few seconds after I start the download it stops and leaves me with the recommended xorg driver that's open source, which I don't want. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello!

It is very hard for anyone to know what is going on without some information. "A bunch of errors" really tells us nothing of value.

Would you please attempt to do your updates through the terminal and post the results back here so we can see what is going on?
