The Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available. The Application Pool or Managed Metadata Web Service may not have been started. Please Contact your Administrator.

 The Security Token Service is not available.
The Security Token Service is not issuing tokens. The service could be malfunctioning or in a bad state.

I resolved this issue by going into IIS, going to the security token application pool, advanced and saw that “enable 32-bit applications” was set to true, change this to false, re-run the analyzer and Problem solved.

Changing Content Type Hub URL

Change the Hub URL through powershell by using: Set-SPMetadataServiceApplication -Identity " " -HubURI " " For Ex: Set-SPMetadataServiceApplication -Identity "Managed Metadata Service" -HubURI "http://contenttype.Domain.Com" When you try to do this you get this rather scary message: This is SharePoint telling you that this is a major thing so be careful!
