Question

sudo apt-get update: 
Translation-en Fetched 973 kB in 33s (28,8 kB/s) W: Failed to fetch
http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ppa/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/binary-amd64/Packages

404  Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.

How do I fix that?

I can't post the entire output here because I don't have 10 points.

There is a method to the "lameness". I would suggest taking a look at the about page Also, please take a look at ( how to fix 404 when updgrading packages ). There is a nicely detailed diagram discussing the major reasons for 404 issues when updating packages. — jmunsch, Dec 23 '13 at 16:44

This ppa doesn't suport raring, only has support up to precise. You can see it here:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ppa/ubuntu/dists/

Remove the ppa from your sources:

sudo rm -vf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nameoftheppa.list

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Of course, you'll need to find out what is the "nameoftheppa" to delete it, you can find them all under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and open them for reading:

nautilus /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

Have a look at the .list files and see which one has network-manager http on it.
