BlackBerry Z10 stuck "Checking for updates" first time setup.

I have just bought the Z10 and it keeps getting stuck while checking for updates. I have rebooted it a few times, taken the battery and sim card out and then rebooted it a few times with no success. What should I do? 

I have the same problem. I just ordered my phone, is new, the setup is not even completed and is stuck for hours now on "Checking for updates". I have a Z10 smatphone and I am really upset! I tried restarting it, remove battery.. nothing helped.. Please give me an idea about what to do!

  • Z10 permanently "checking for updates"

    I received my new Z10 today. I had started to set it up, except I don't yet have a sim card, but I have added it to my home wifi. Some set up was done, and some updates were added I thought. But it has now gone into a never-ending session of "Checking for updates".
    Is it because I don't have a sim card inserted yet?
    If not, what can I do to stop it and return to normal?
    Thanks

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    That seemed to do the job. I had turned it off and on a few times, and I had removed the battery which did cause it to reset, but every time it simply got stuck. Once I had discovered from the Manual how to reset it, I thought it was back to the same old problem. Then it cleared and reported that setup was complete. All OK now.
    Thanks

  • BT Netprotect Plus stuck checking for updates

    Managed to get BT NetProtect Plus installed, but now it is stuck on 0% and saying checking for updates.
    Does anybody have any ideas on why or how to get it to update.
    I have tried other Antivirus software and they update ok.

    Hi Jimw,
    Thanks for the post and welcome to the forum.
    You can try an manually update Netprotect.  Please see this link How often is BT NetProtect Plus updated?
    Let me know if this problem continues.

  • 'check for updates' wizard times out

    Hi;
    Although I have the correct login/pw for the 'check for updates' wizard, in times out -very quickly <= 1 second.
    How can I get that to work, please?
    Thanks,

    First; Hi. Long time no speak. I have been into Eclipse for the past, oh, > 12 months.
    But now, with 9.05, I might be back on the JDev bandwagon (applause). I find it straightforward for folks that don't need or want bc4j, and its up to j2ee 1.4 spec, and it works well with many other j2ee servers.
    Now, as far as this issue(automatic updates online) is concerned, although I can understand that it does not work for 9.0.3, it very likely works for 9.0.5 folks, with incremental updates, bug fixes, et al. (eg I read somewhere that it now supports the Sun Appserver 8, which is an update I'm after.)See? Eclipse spoiled me. They have extensive on-line updates management per module.
    So, if anyone can confirm either of the views expressed in this thread, please do so.
    Thanks;

  • Software update gets "stuck" checking for updates (Snow Leopard)

    Software update stalls at about 10-20% on the progress bar.  Other internet apps show no connectivity issues.

    Are you trying to upgrade to a higher OS.  Your profile says you are on 10.6.8 which is the highest level of Snow Leopard.  The only improvement on that is to download and install the 10.6.8 Combo updater ... below.

  • Blackberry Z10 - Stuck on Checking for update

    I recently bought a blackberry z10, and decided to update it before starting to use it which i regret now.
    Since then i have not been able to access the phone as it always comes back to the screen "Checking for updates".
    How long does this usually take as its been over 20 minutes and still on the same screen. I tried restarting the phone iseveral times s but i continue to get the same outcome when i turn the phone back on.
    any help would be appreciated.

    I have powered off the devivce, removed the battery, left the device a part for hours. I put the device battery back in, power up the device, see the BlackBerry logo, then 'checking for updates' resumes and never stops. The phone is totally unusable. One thing I should mention is that the phone has no SIM inserted. Would this make a difference? 
    Leave it powered ON, as I stated above.

  • How does a BlackBerry handheld connect to BES for the first time?

    How does a Blackberry device connect to BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) for the first time? Is there a risk that a rogue BlackBerry handheld connects to BES?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    When a BES admin sets up a BB on BES, they configure the unique BB PIN into their BES and also create credentials that are required to actually complete the registration process on the BB. So, while there is no perfect security anywhere, I don't think the risk you are concerned about is high enough to warrant any attention.
    Good luck!

  • Blackberry Z10 stuck on 'Checking for updates'

    I got the Z10 this morning, I followed the start up bits and it told me to connect to the wifi so I connected it to my home WIFI. It went trough the installations then it's gone to a screen which says "Checking for updates" and a wheel spinning round and round. It's been like this for 20+ minutes now. I took SIM out just in case as I was unsure how to activate my SIM. Even with SIM removed, this happens and it stays on the checkingfor updates page. When SIM is inserted, it's still the same.
    It came up with "cannot connect to APN..." with some other information a few moments ago. I've removed the battery while device was on, and put the battery back in. Now it's still on the "Software update, checking for updates" page and I have no idea how to connect to my wifi. 

    Ok then I recommend reinstalling the OS with an autoloader, info on where to get them and how to do it can be found here...

  • Is there any way to disable "Checking Your Add-ons" window that comes when user starts Firefox after update for the first time?

    we have over 1500 firefox users and its very confusing to them if after update they start their Firefox and this "Checking Your Add-ons" window comes.
    It would be much appreciated if it can somehow skipped this or do it silently.

    Unfortunately this link does not help.
    We currently have 3.6.x versions of Firefox in most computers, and if i do a silent install via sccm to version 12, then if user starts the new firefox for the first time, it checks addons, like java quick starter and browsing protection (f-secure) etc. Second time when they start firefox, it starts normally.
    My question is - is there some way to avoid this first run addon compability checking?
    I've tried numerous preferences in mozilla.cfg, nothing helps so far.

  • Stuck on "Checking for Updates"

    I just bought a Z10 today and did the upate before using the phone and now it's stuck on "checking for updates" screen. I've taken out the battery and SIM card and left it for 10 min but it still isn't working, I've done this a few times. What am I supposed to do?

    Did you try pulling out the battery, wating for a min, and putting in back in?
    I faced a similar prblem and this worked for me.

    Hello! Just connected a used iPhone to iTunes for the first time. I'm trying to restore it to factory settings/default. The phone is connected via Wi-Fi and is updated to the most recent OS that the phone allows. The computer is also connected to the internet. But I still get the error: "itunes could not contact the iphone software update server because you are not connected to the internet." I also connected via iTunes and authorized the computer, but still have the same issue. Really, all I need to do is completely wipe the phone and start from scratch for safety's sake.
    Help?

    Did you check your security software settings?

  • Firefox checks for updates to add-ons every time it starts?

    Every time I click my shortcut to open Firefox, a window pops up. This window scans my installed add-ons and checks for updates. Then, Firefox opens. One of my add-ons, "Zotero Word Integration" tries to install itself every time. If I have an instance of Microsoft Word open, this installation fails, but ultimately, Firefox opens and runs fine. The add-on scan takes approx. 30 seconds, so if I accidentally close FF, it's a big hassle. This first started happening after I updated to FF 8. I downloaded and installed FF7 but the problem persisted. Now, I am back to FF8, but, alas, nothing has changed. None of my other add-ons are having problems except for the ones that aren't compatible with FF8 yet. FYI, I do have Roboform, but it is the current version, both to-go, and everywhere.

    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache, extensions.rdf) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is an update.
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • Went to install Thunderbolt Firmware 1.2 on my imac and now the 'checking for updates' message is stuck.

    Hi everyone,
    I have an imac and had the update for Thunderbolt Firmware 1.2 ready on my app store to install. However, when I went to update it, my app store just keeps saying 'checking for updates' for the past two hours. I'm not sure if this is part of the Thunderbolt update?
    I know it originally warns you the computer will restart and a grey screen will appear with a progress bar, but I've had none of that. Just the 'checking for updates' message constantly going.
    Does anyone know how long this update takes and is this normal?
    If I click on the update for Thunderbolt again it comes up with a greyed out 'waiting' message to the left.
    Please help ...
    Thanks in advance.

    Ok, it seemed I could still click on the thunderbolt update so it was never going to do anything. I force closed the app store and now it's showing 1 update available like it was (for the thunderbolt).  Looks like the app store was just stuck trying to check for updates.
    I'll try again another time :-)

  • Updated to iOS 7, when my phone came on for the first time I could see I had 2 new viber messages.  When I went to open viber it asked me to register my number, which I did. Once the app was open I noticed all my message history was gone.

    Hi,
    I have only just upgraded to iOS 7 on my iPhone 4 and am having a  problem with Viber. When my phone came on for the first time after the update I could see I had 2 new viber messages, when I went to open viber it asked me to register my number, which I did. Once the app was open I noticed all my message history was gone...
    I still have an itunes backup of my phone just before the update, I restored it to this backup, followed the same process and now viber will not even work (the access code wont sms to me and the phone call option for recieving this code also come up with some error about not being able to do this at this time).
    I have been able to access viber using another phone number (I have two sims which I use as I am currently overseas in south korea, my referenced australian sim has worked previously on viber overseas and I definently do have roaming on) but again I have no message history.
    So to questions:
    1) Why is my activation not working under my referenced australian number?
    2) Can I recover all my message history which should be saved in my itunes backup?  I am willing to revert to this backup state again if needed.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    Look iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is a backup listed for your iPhone 5 dated BEFORE you restored your iPhone 4 backup to your iPhone 5? If not, your data is gone. If there is a backup, on your iPhone 5: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You should now be able to restore that backup, if it exists, to your iPhone 5.

    My Iphone 4 just updated to the iOS6.  I've connected it to my computer for the first time since then, and wanted to back up my photos in iPhoto.  However, although Iphoto recognized my phone, it shows no photos to upload or backup.  It lists my phone in the "devices" category on the left bar, but no longer shows any of my photos.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I've reread your question several times and am not sure I understand it.
    Are you trying to basically start over, as if you just took your iPhone out of the box?  If so, do:
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings
