Can't update my Xperia mini to 4.0

I'm using a Mac to update my mobile, and I downoaded the bridge application. I connect my phone, then the Bridge app stars initilizing the update and tells me to disconnect my phone, switch to MTP and reconnect it, but after I do that nothing happens. I tried around 5 times and everytime I'm stuck at the same place. When I switch to MTP and connect my phone, it does nothing.

You could try using the repair option under Phone -> Repair phone instead. That doesn't require the phone to be connected in MTP-mode first. As this resets the phone you do however need to make a backup first.

How can i updated my mac mini 1st gen.

i am running a version 10.3.9 now how can i updated it

To reinforce what Niel said, you want the "RETAIL" version of the discs. Those are the discs with silver or white lettering on a black background. The discs with a silvery grey background are unique to a specific Mac computer model and highly unlikely to work on your mini. When buying on eBay, do not depend on the seller to know what they have or even that there is a difference. Question them closely and maybe even get them to send a color picture of the specific discs you will be buying.

How can i update my xperia ray into ICS?

i have tried the update with pc companion but it is showing an error "Unable to install or start phone software update components". I have also downloaded the SUS software but it is not working in my windows 8 machine. Is there any way to upgrade the OS directly from mobile? Or how can i update it in any other way?

Go to Solution.

We don't have a PC companion version tested for Windows 8. (Microsoft® Windows XP™ SP2 (32 bit), Vista (32/64 bit) or Windows 7 (32/64 bit) Only) That's the issue in your case.
But try this:
If you are getting the error "unable to install update components"
1. Close Pc companion
2. Install Java from: http://www.java.com
3. start Pc companion again and try to do the software unlock process once more.
Then:
Run the Pc companion Software
Turn the phone off and disconnect it from the computer
1. No matter what the program says do not connect the phone until you complete step 9
2. In the welcome screen if asked click on start, Next you will be shown what media go offers, click on "next" then you will see a presentation on what support zone offers, click on "Finish"
3. In the next section from "support zone" and "media go" new select "support zone" and click on start.
4. On the next page select "Software update" and click on "start"
5. The program will say that there is no phone connected and will ask you to connect but disregard that and instead choose the option to "repair Phone".(the program will issue you a warning on the content that you will lose during the update)
6. Choose the option to continue.
7. After that, the program will download the necessary information (5 to 6 minutes) and it will present you with a list of phones.
8. Choose the Phone from the list (close to the bottom of the list) click on the icon for the phone and then click on "next"
then you will see a new section telling you how to connect the phone. (don't connect it yet)
At this point the phone must be off and disconnected from the PC.
9. Connect the cable to the PC not to the phone, then follow the instructions on screen to connect the phone, if done correctly the program will say "the update of your phone has started..." (in some cases a message of "Installing drivers" will appear before the message of "the update of your phone has started..." is shown.)
10. If you failed to follow the steps correctly the phone will turn on and it will request that you "Proceed with the following steps, slide down the notification bar", If this happens disconnect the phone from the cable, turn it off and repeat from step 9).
11. If the PC Companion proceeds correctly wait for the update to finish and follow instructions on screen.
Hope this helps.

Can I update older Mac Mini to support new IPOD Nano?

I have a non-Intel based Mac Mini running Mac OS 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.6.3. Purchased a new IPOD Nano for Christmas and now find that I need to install iTunes 10.7 to use the new IPOD. Is there a way I can upgrade my Mac OS so I can get iTunes 10.7 or change the IPOD to work with iTunes 10.6.3?
Seems my options may be to 1) return the IPOD Nano or 2) buy a new Mac to support the new IPOD.
Appreciate any tips!
Thanks!

I'm not aware of a workaround for your current system. You can still buy 6th generation iPod Nano's on Amazon.com, and other vendors may still have them too. They require OS X 10.5.8 to sync. Of course, it may be a good excuse to upgrade your system too

Can't update my iPod mini

When i plug in my iPod to update it i receive the following message, The software required for communitcating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software. I've tried reinstalling both but i still get that message. If i delete iTunes from my computer will my library still be there? If not, what should i do??

Colleen, follow these instructions exactly for removing iTunes, then reinstall.

Also, if you have Fast User Switching turned on in Windows XP, it could be causing the problem. See this if you do:

Found some severe issues with my Xperia mini after ICS update

Hi,
I am a application and game tester from India and i am using Xperia mini for 7 months, last month i have upgraded my mini with ICS. But the update is not so good as i am facing many problems after updating. I am listing few of my problems below, i dont know this is for my set or with all:
1. If i am forwarding any message and selects 'Add Recipient' option then the phone get stuck in the Contacts list and fails to respond the back button. Also on returning to Home screen and selecting message option after than then Contact list opens instead of Message and to rectify this issue i have to restart my mobile.
2. For my Calenders(i have sync with Facebook) there are lots of event marked on the days but on selecting the particular dates no name is displayed just blank tabs are displayed.
Please reply me is this the problem with all Xperia Minis(ICS)? or i am the lucky one . If this is with all then please fix the issues and make a new update available.
Regards,
Touseef

Hi guys, well as a matter of facts, yes, I have a similar problem, amongst other...
-This feature I use a lot: in GB, when i open conversation, on the top the contact`s name and phone appears, i tap on it and make the call, in ICS, when i tap on it, it opens Contact list from the begining, so i have to find the contact which i want to call. And on the end, back and menu buttons don`t work in that case (like toseefb2 problem), so i have to press the home button....
Maybe, just maybe this happens because i installed Skype, because, after its installation, when i wanted to send an SMS, it asked me which will the messaging app going to be used, Skype or Messaging. I`ve chosen the Messaging and my problem appeared. Only Contacts with picture can be called, and only if i tap the picture...
Please solve this, i don`t want to uninstall Skype, nevertheless, the phone should work regulary even with 3rd party apps.

Xperia Mini Pro - Not getting ICS Update

Hi all.. I have Xperia Mini Pro SK17i. Although ICS update has been rolled out, I am still not getting it on my PC Companion. I really dont know why. Can you please help. I am from India.

The roll out of the ICS update happens gradually and is still ongoing. I suggest that you connect your phone to PCC from time to time to check for software updates.

First, try resetting the iPod with it connected. Try several times if it doesn't work the first.
