Curve 8530 Has Stopped Responding During Wipe - I'm In Deep Trouble!

Hi Gang,
I'm in a bit of a jam and hopefully someone here can assist. I've searched the forum for an answer but couldn't locate one.
I have a Blackberry Curve 8530 and it's been experiencing some freezing from time to time.
Model:  BlackBerry Curve 8530
Carrier:  Koodo Mobile (Canada)
Software Version:  5.0 Bundle 1108
I decided tonight to backup all of my data and do a "Security Wipe" from the options menu.
I selected both options, typed "blackberry" and clicked "wipe".
I currently have the popup on my screen that says:
"Erasing Information...
Warning: Do not pull the battery out until erasing is complete."
On top of this popup is the dreaded little Blackberry clock with the spinning hand going around and around (like an hourglass would on a PC when it's "thinking").
 It's been like this for almost two hours now and doesn't appear to be responding any longer.
The clock will occasionally disappear, only to re-appear a minute later.
I'm scared to pull the battery because it warns not to on the popup. I've tried to power it off with the Power Button but to no avail. No buttons do anything.
What should I do? I've never had an issue like this and I'm worried that I'll be in for a lot of headaches if I pull the battery.
Can anyone offer any advice or assistance? Have you run into this issue before? What happens if I pull the battery contrary to their warning not to? 
I'm kind between a rock and a hard place...and it's 2:45AM here on the East Coast of Canada...want to try to get this fixed before I go to bed if anyone is awake and reading this.
Many, Many Thanks In Advance,
Jeff

  • My itunes has stopped responding how can I get it working again

    My itunes has stopped responding how can I get it working again?

    I have a related issue (I think, hard to know for sure from the short frustrated post above).
    Since the last update of iTunes (11.0.5), it kind of freezes while checking for and downloading new podcasts. Processor load goes to 100% (sometimes above! figure from Swedish OSX "Aktivitetskontroll" which I can imagine is something like "Activity Control" or "Activity Manager" in English OSX) and stays there for a few minutes, 3-5 minutes is common. During that time the mouse pointer turns into a spinning ball when moved above iTunes. Other apps work ok meanwhile. (Four processors)
    Have a fixed connection to the internet, which I have tested while iTunes is frozen. We acheive above 100 Mbit/s downstream, 20 Mbit/s upstream, so the connection shouldn't be the problem.
    Any ideas on what to do?

  • InDesign Stops Responding During Launch

    I'm having a problem with InDesign CS2 (v 4.0.5) on a Mac running OSX 10.3.9. It's been working fine for months, but now when I start InDesign, it stops responding during the "Executing Startup Services" phase.
    I've deleted all of the preference files for InDesign, as well as the .plist file. I even removed InDesign from the system and re-installed it, but I'm still having the same problem.
    Note that all of the other CS2 applications work fine.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for correcting this problem?
    Thanks

    CS2 runs just fine here in XP mode. I suspect the problem is the activation, which can no longer be accomplished becasue the activation servers were shut down. For licensed users of CS2 programs Adobe has posted downloads of versions that do not require activation at Adobe - CS2 Downloads

  • InDesign stops responding during the Packaging process.

    Design stops responding during the Packaging process. It says it will only take a few seconds, stalls, and then stops responding.  Please help!

    This normally means that the phone has been jailbroken and discussion of jailbroken phones is not permitted in these formus as it is a violation of the Terms of Use.  You'll have to find a solution using Google, if you can.

  • I've only had my iphone 5s for a week. I keep getting an error message of "Server has stopped responding."  I need the server to work. Does anyone know if there is a "fix" for the problem? Other wise, I probably best return for a refund and get a Samsung.

    Unlikely.  Based on the complete lack of detail of the issue provided it is entirely possible the same issue would occur.
    Unless and until the user provides some actual details of the problem, there is nothing the indicate that the issue is with the iPhone.

  • I have tried to transfer files from my windows media player to my ipod but it saysthe device has stopped responding or stopped working.this is the first time ive connected nmy ipod to my new pc.any ideas?

    I have tried to transfer music from my windows 7 media player to my ipod.This is the first time i have tried to use my ipod on my new computer .In the media player it doesnt give me the option to add to itunes library it just give me the option to send to my ipod and when i do this it says that the device has stopped responding or isnt working.Any ideas? coz i aint got the foggiest where i am going wrong.My ipod keeps telling me to update the software,but then will i lose the music thats already on my ipod?

    You should import the music (that is listed in Windows Media Player) into your iTunes Library - on your computer - to add it to your existing iTunes Library. I take it you have moved (or copied) your music from the old computer to the new computer, haven't you?
    Then Sync your iPod to that Library.
    iPods will not respond to Windows Media Player, they're designed to connect to iTunes.

  • Windows Server Essentials Connector stops responding during install Win 7 Pro to 2012 R2

    I am trying to reconnect a Win 7 Pro computer to a new  Essentials 2012R2 and when it asks me to set it up for just me or multiple users a message pops up saying
    it has stopped responding. It sets up a profile of _clientsetup_$ and it shows up in dashboard as an offline device. This computer was hooked up to an Essentials 2012R2 previously. Tried uninstalling the connector software, removing the computer from the domain,
    renaming the computer and re-installing the connector software from the http://(server)/connect. Even tried backing up the existing profiles and creating a new clean one and went through the above procedure with the same results. I set up 4 others
    with no issues and it would be the bosses computer that fails. I am a newbie so any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    Hi,
    Sorry for my interrupting.
    Would you please let us know whether this problematic client computer was upgraded to Windows 7 Pro from a previous OS? Did you install any third-party application on this Windows 7 Pro client computer? Just a confirmation, thanks for your understanding.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu

  • Rundll32.exe has stopped responding

    When I install Ghost v14 on the T500, after reboot the DVD drive has a yellow exclamation mark on it with "the device is not responding properly" and an error pops up with "rundll32.exe has stopped responding", and also the power Manager icon on the task bar stops showing.
    I can correct the problem with the DVD drive by removing an entry in the registry but the rundll32.exe error will never go away.
    When I uninstall Ghost, all works fine, and then the error goes away, odd!
    Has a anyone experienced this with Ghost and know why it causes these problems, with the DVD drive, Power Manager and the rundll.exe error?

  • Itunes has stopped responding

    I have tried every thing suggested i this forum about fixing this. The message I get is that iTunes has stopped responding, Windows is looking for a solution to the problem. Then it wants to close iTunes. This only happens when i try to access the store. My music and podcasts and everything else works fine. Just can't go to the store. Just downloaded the lates and greates version of iTunes. Below is the error i get in the event viewer and of course windows Tech support is no help. Never ever had an error in the event viewer had a solution to a problem of any kind.

    See the following post for how to resolve.  The fix involves copying a file from one directory to another.  Very easy.

  • I am trying to import from camera using windows 8.1 and I get a message that Lightroom program has stopped responding. Ideas?

    Lightroom has stopped responding.  That's what I get when I try to import images from my D7100 into the library. I'm (foolishly, no doubt,) using windows 8.1.  Can anyone help?

    It is lightroom 5.7.  I will have to try to run it again to get the exact
    message, but essentially, it is "the program has stopped responding".
    thanks!
