Stuck On Software Update!

I'm trying to install the new software update. Everything was fine until a pop up window asked me to quit itunes so system could continue with update. I quit itunes (clicked on the red x in left corner of page) but the system doesn't recognize the fact that I quit. It keeps asking me to quit and now it won't finish the update and the window keeps coming up with "quit itunes to continue update." I can't even shut off my computer because it's in update mode. What do I do now?

Actually, just clicking the upper left red button only closes the window, it doesn't quit the program (unlike windows machines). To quit, you need to first bring this application to the forefront (click on it's icon in the dock, for instance), then choose "quit" from the first pull down menu item (right of the blue apple), or press command (the apple key, beside the space bar) and "Q" .

    My mac book has been stuck on software update all night. Am I allowed to manually shut it down?

    Yes, you won't be arrested for shutting it down. Depending on what was being updated, the machine may or may not start up properly (or at all) afterward. If it doesn't, post back for advice.

    Solved!

    If BlackBerry Desktop Software is not recognizing your phone, you're really out of luck; it's imperative that BDS connects to your phone.
    RIM has this to say about getting your phone to connect to BDS:

  • Macbook Pro stuck on software update

    I haven't done Software Update for awhile (maybe weeks), so I finally decided to update my Macbook Pro (2011 & running Snow Leopard). There were a lot of things to update as it said it was installing 15 items. The progression bar is mostly full and it is almost finished - probably the equivalent of around 98% done - but it has been stuck there for about 2 hours.
    I don't think it's crashed since there's not the rainbow ball spinning just the pointed arrow, and it says it is "Running package scripts" underneath the download bar. If I also recall correctly, I remember reading something about an EFI firmware update before I clicked 'Install and Restart' to update.
    Should I force reboot or wait it out? I personally don't think it's going to go anywhere waiting it out, but I also don't want to potentially distort any memory or anything if that is possible.

  • HT1296 Phone stuck on software update screen

    I tried doing a software update on my iphone 4s but now its stuck on the loading update screen. It won't finish loading, won't sync to the computer. I've tried several hard resets. Nothing works. I have pics of my baby i dont want to lose. Is there anything I can do to save my pics?

    If the device does not continue it is sometimes indicative of some kind of interruption durring the update. If you have a backup the information should be safe... If not you may want to google software that can remove information from your device when it is in this state.
    Hope this helps!

  • New Q10 stuck on Software Update Screen

    I've just got a brand new Q10, turned it on and started going through the setup screens, but it's stuck on the software update screen. It'll check for updates for a few minutes and then display a message saying it can't reach the update server and direct me back to wifi setup. It's staying connected to my wifi network, which is stable and has a strong signal, but still has been unable to connect. I've tried rebooting several times by turning it off and back on, and done several battery pulls, but it continues to take me straight back to that screen and starts the whole frustrating process again.
    Please help!

    I recommend trying again tomorrow... or Monday
    it's late right now and the servers might be down for maintenance.
    10.2 is slowly rolling out and the servers may be busy right now

  • Stuck in Software Update Loop

    So When I try to do a software update for ¨Mac Pro EFI Firmware Update Version 1.2¨and ¨Security Update 2007-009 (universal) version 1.1¨it asks me to restart. I do. Then it says I need to shut down. After turning on the computer again, I find that the updates were not installed. Same thing happens every time. I also tried upgrading to leopard. It just doesn´t seem to boot from the cd. Please help!

    Apparently, SU is choking on the installation part. The shutdown message indicates, at least to me, a failed update. Manually download them (link at page's top), and then install them.

  • IPhone stuck during software update, in airplane mode

    HINT:
    Make sure you are not in airplane mode when performing an iPhone software update. If you do, then you will get an iTunes alert saying ...
    "The iPhone "(name of iPhone)" cannot be used with iTunes because the information required for activation could not be obtained from the iPhone. Check that the SIM card is inserted in your iPhone and that it is not PIN-locked."
    To get out of airplane mode: slide the emergency call slide, punch in any number, hit CALL, an alert will pop up asking you to turn off airplane mode, .....
    NOTE:
    Apple could eliminate this problem by (1) blocking all incoming calls during syncs and updates and (2) checking to see if the phone is in airplane mode before allowing an update to occur.

    Thank you! Thank you! I was about to spend forever on hold for Apple support to help get me out of airplane mode! I forgot I was in airplane mode when I started updating the phone to 2.1.
    Thanks so much for saving me a needless call!

  • Screen is stuck at Software update. Shows that its downloading, but have been that way for about 30 min.

    Clicked on update software and then computer began to download the update. Now it has been have an hour and is still downloading the update. Shows that its connecting to the update server, but don't think it actually has. Im on a Mac, and have a very fast internet connection. Im not sure how long this update should take, but I feel that 30 min trying to connect to the update server is a long time. How do I fix this?
