Disconnected halfway through update

Hi all,
Halfway through latest software update, usb cable was kicked and process interrupted. Now if I turn the phone on it just shows the not connected by usb picture, and if I try and connect to usb it just vibrates, attempts to connect and repeats with nothing on the phone screen (an no response from pc or zune). How do I fix this issue without losing any of my data on the phone?
Matt

Hi matt__,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum.
From what you are describing it sound like the update was interrupted while it was actually in progress instead of writing to the device. In that case I suggest you visit a Nokia Care Point where they will be able to rewrite the firmware. This will however overwrite everything on the device so all your personal data and apps will be lost.
When finished you will get your contacts and calendar events back when you log into the respective accounts (like your LiveID). You will be able to get your apps back using the app Reinstaller. With paid apps, just select 'buy' again and Marketplace will know you paid before and allow a re-install.
Hope this helps, let us know how you get on.

Computer restarted halfway through update and now AE won't work

Hi,
I was halfway through updating After Effects to 10.01 when my computer decided to go bluescreen on me and now I cannot start After Effects (even after successfully re-doing the update it won't start).
I get this error message.
(I see someone else has posted something similar yesterday but two problems on one thread could get messy)
I am running Windows 7 64bit.
Is there anyway i can quickly solve this without re-installing?
(The rest of master collection works fine)
Many thanks

Is there anyway i can quickly solve this without re-installing?
Reinstalling is the quickest way and with the CS5 installer it should be perfectly safe. Unlike the crooked CS3 and CS4 installers, it will simply overwrite al lfiles and create a new caps.db, which should fix all issues. You won#t lose any config data, so I'd just do it. You will of course have to run al lthe updates again after that...

Stopped halfway through update now cant do anything

Hi - Hope someone can help me, I'm way out of my depth with this situation...
Quite a few months ago I had an iphone 4 pickpocketed, and someone kindly donated me theirs as the button had stopped working etc, wasnt much use to them. I hadn't done one sync yet as I was really only using it for the camera, wi-fi etc..
However now i'd like to use it, and I will restore it with MY LAST BACKUP WITH MY OLD (STOLEN) PHONE. However before I could do this, I understand I had to update the iOS on the new one ( as was still on 5.1.1) and my stolen iPhone had a more recent iOS.
I started doing the update by connecting it with itunes and clicking update, however it stopped and said error, " iphone blah blah couldnt be updated , an unknown error occured (27)". Ive referred to what 27 means in the list of errors by number but it doesn't really help.
Also I then saw that I would have to restore to factory settings to update, i'm not sure if I did this or not - I might have clicked it but then clicked cancel pretty much straight after as i read it would erase everything. I had saved most things i needed like notes etc, then remember photos and vids hadn't been backed up, so i cancelled (if I started, i really can't remember!)
Now the problem is that I can't get access to the phone, it's kind of stuck mid software update or mid restore (to factory settings). I get just the apple logo, if I turn on and off I get the logo telling me to connect to itunes, I can't seem to get anything other than this - I want to back up the pics/vids and then restore to factory default, before restoring from a back up of my old iphone (stolen one)
Hope all that is clear, They 're both iphone 4s, this new one is GSM model, no idea what the original one was (if important), it's the latest iOS on my mac laptop
I'm nowhere near an apple store so a Genius appointment isn't an option for now :-(

Hi dj_rag,
From the sound of your post, it appears as if you are attempting to restore your iPhone and it is unable to do so. It seems like you have received an error code and have already viewed the suggestions located in this article:
Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS3694
You may also want to try the steps located in this article:
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201263
Just remember that the steps in the first article that are specific to your error code that you are receiving are going to be the best possible steps for resolving this issue:
Check for hardware issues
Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

Hi Jen. My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse. Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too. Now to the problem at hand. I have the same problem. I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade. Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade. But I'm sure other factors are involved. Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem: What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it. Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade. Hope this works. Charlie

Halfway through the OS X Yosemite update it says I am not connected to the internet (when I know I am because I can search through the app store). How can I fix this? I cannot get on Safari because it requires an update to Mac OS X 10.9 or later.

Just to be clear. You have downloaded the Yosemite installer. However you say while it's updating you get the error you are not online. This is confusing since you shouldn't be able to use your computer in the process of updating.
Exactly where do you see you need to 10.9 to get on Safari?

Updates stopping halfway through

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to get the "GarageBand Instruments and Apple Loops" update for GarageBand which is 1.2 gb all together. The problem that I'm getting is that the update quits halfway through and when I try to do the update again it starts over. I think that I'm only getting this problem because my internet is as slow as it is but I'm not sure. Shouldn't it always be able to continue where it left off? Also, is there any other way I can get ahold of this update?

Macbook pro shuts down halfway through OSX Yosemite update

I made the update from OSX Mavericks to Yosemite. Was running fine until my computer ran out of battery. I plugged it in and try to turn it on, since then it stopped working.
Now, when I turn it on, the apple logo with the loading bar underneath appears, and halfway through the download, the computer shuts down on its own.
It has been doing that for 2 weeks now,
Anybody can help ?
Thanks,
Matt

I would start by booting into the Recovery Partition, on start up hold the ⌘ and R keys till you see the small window containing the four options. I think Disk Utility is the last option in the list. Use it to repair Permissions and then repair the hard drive.
Your signature says you are using Yosemite? Are you still able to boot into Mavericks or have you successfully installed Yosemite?
Remember, you should never do anything system intensive while using battery power, even if it's a full charge. Always use your AC power.

DFU mode? How do I do that? So far the only thing I can do is hold down both buttons to power it on and nothing is on the screen and it wont reconize on my computer....

My ipod update downloads are always interrupted about halfway through. I have no problem downloading anything else. Any solution?

Can't download the ipod touch update. It keeps timing out about halfway through. I don't have this problem downloading any other large files. Is this an issue with the ipod and/or software?

Hi there,
What gen device are you using?
Disconect your Firewall or any security programme that could be blocking this download.
If all else fails then totally uninstall iTunes and Apple mobile device support then reinstall it.
Hope this helps!
