3G crashed trying to install iOS4 - now will not restore

I finally succumbed to the pop-ups telling me to install iOS4. It crashed during the "restoring iphone software" stage. I now do not have any operating system on my phone. I have tried restoring but it will not proceed further than 13% of the progress bar on "restoring iphone software"
Any help will be gratefully received.

Thank you for the comments. I have just got back form teh O2 (service provider) store. They restored to factory settings and updated to ios4 for free. I should think so too , as I have only had the phone for a month!
I hope it runs smoothly though now, as I have seen many comments regarding loss of speed.

Although my apple ipod is 4g it seems to quit accepting the cd's I am trying to download and now will not allow the remaining 2.5gb available on my ipod...help?

Although my apple ipod is 4g it seems to quit accepting the cd's I am trying to download and now will not allow the remaining 2.5gb available on my ipod.
Can anybody out there give me any clues as to why my apple ipod won't allow my remaining 2.5 gb of ipod space to download anymore of my cd's. I am using Itunes library which also doesn't seem to accept the cd's even though they are legitimate in every way and are not homemade.

- Unjailbroken iPod never showed % battery. Just the icon.
- Unjailbroken iPod Touches never had a disk mode.
- What happens when you try to drag a wiggling app to a empty space in the bottom? Does it move and snap back?

Tried Everything..iPhone 3g will not restore to factory settings!

I get a message saying "Windows does not recognize the device, one of the USB devices has malfunctioned." I have tried everything..watched You tube to find out how to restore phone..made sure iTunes was up to date..uninstalled iTunes..installed iTunes. No matter what I do..my iPhone will not show up in iTunes or restore. I even went into AT&T store to find out what else I could do and the guy told me I needed to hold down both buttons for 15 minutes, and definately something would show up on the iphone if not iTunes to restore the phone. I held those buttons till i couldn't feel my fingers anymore, and still nothing. I just want to see if my iPhone is broke before I buy the new iPhone 4. Also I have an iPod 2nd Gen. No problem with that not showing up in iTunes, so that's why I'm thinking it is in fact my phone that has the problem. I don't want to take it to the Apple Store, they'll just charge me $30. So if anyone else has any suggestions, would really appreciate it..I'm at my wits end. Thank You!

Photosmart C7280 was installed & working - now will not install - URGENT solution needed

All in one was working fine. Is on Network. Dell Workstation is wired and so is all in one. Other computers are laptops - wireless working fine. For an unexplained reason the software on the Dell stopped working - fax, scan, etc. But it would print but gave error messages. So I uninstalled it and downloaded the latest software from theHP website. First time trid to install - error message in the checking process - second part and uninstalled and did a check of the hP site but timed out. rebooted. Tried again after downloading from HP again. THis time it got to the install stage but once again an error. repeat process and this time downloaded a solution. Followed the steps in the solution - msconfig including firewall, rebooting, etc. Unsuccessful again. Now have no printer on Dell and need to have it working as I have assessment taskc due on weekend and can't print them. Need solution to solve this issue.

When you said you try to download it from the website. Did you click INSTALL on the driver or did you download and save it first on your computer? You may want to try and download and save it on the desktop. Once download is complete, manually start the installation by double clicking it on your desktop.
Aside from that, try to install just the drivers?
So when you're installing the driver/software, it will give you a screen where you can check the box for the user license agreement right? and above that is a 4 link that would say: Internet Connection Usage, Select a software (can't remember the rest of the two options) Click on the internet connection usage and choose the following options:
-First question: NO, I'll do it myself
-Second question: NO, thank you
-Press OK to go back to the main screen
This time, click on the SELECT A SOFTWARE TO INSTALL
-Uncheck everything. except the very top of the list which is grayed out; That's the driver of the printer
-There might be other software installed on your pc already that would say "already installed" you can ignore that since it will be grayed out. You need to uncheck those things that you can uncheck.
-Click Ok to go back to main screen.
-Proceed with the installation.
I hope that works for you.

I've been using Adobe Acrobat 7 for many years. I updated my full version of Acrobat 5 to get to 7. My hard drive crashed and I've been trying to reinstall Acrobat and it will not install. Adobe will not help because 7 is no longer supported. Does anyone

I've been using Adobe Acrobat 7 for many years. I updated my full version of Acrobat 5 to get to 7. My hard drive crashed and I've been trying to reinstall Acrobat and it will not install. Adobe will not help because 7 is no longer supported. Does anyone know where I can go for help?

You won't be able to install your original Acrobat 7 at all, or use your original serial number. The server which used to allow this was switched off.
But assuming you have a compatible system, like Mac OS 5 or Windows XP, licensed users of Acrobat 7 can download a replacement and get a replacement serial number.

You use the redemption code to obtain a serial number.

The serial number is what you use to license the software on your computer.

Open Finder. Go to the "Go" menu in the menu bar. Press and hold Control and click on Library. Go to "Preferences". Find a file named, "com.apple.iTunes.plist" and delete that file. This won't delete your iTunes content. It will reset iTunes. Try it again.

I have an appointment at the Apple store today, but was wondering : will all of the information and files on my desktop be lost? Or is this a logic board problem?
Any help is much MUCH appricated.

I'm not sure, if you're out of warrenty it'll cost quite a bit for the replacement of the logic board replacement...unless you have apple care. you could ask apple to try and recover your hard drive but i'm not sure.
