Ellipsis 7 tablet is stuck on downloading updates

My tablet is currently at 4.2.2. I clicked on software update and it says it is downloading updates. This has been going on for 4 hours and nothing is happening. It keeps saying that it is downloading updates. Then I get a message that says "FOTA isn't responding. Do you want to close it?" I say yes and it just continues to run. How do I get this stupid thing to stop or update?

Welcome to the world of the bizarre. Yesterday (Sun) at 1645 hrs. I powered on my Ellipsis 7 (I power it off when it is not going to be in use for a while). Lo and behold, the download begins processing and completes successfully! I have no idea what caused it to suddenly work. I do have a couple theories. First, the download was unable to connect to the required computer so it simply kept trying. Your message tends to support this theory. FOTA wanted to process but couldn't connect. Second, powering off/on causes FOTA to attempt to reconnect to the download computer. I had powered off/on multiple times over that past few days without FOTA going anywhere. Something, external to the Ellipsis got 'tweaked' causing the download to process. This tweak may have simply been an overloaded computer unable to accept new tasks. So, my advice is to power off/on the Ellipsis at various times to get the download to work. Onwards and upwards.

ATV stuck in "downloading update"

It had been a while since I'd used my ATV...I checked for update and of course 1.1 was available, so I started downloading (I'm hooked up via Ethernet, and I don't stream from my computer).
It's indicated that it has been "Downloading Update" for over a half hour now...how long should this be taking?

My first d/l took considerabally longer than 1/2 an hour (I have 5) but this was likely due to everyone else doing the same thing in the very begining. Once I had allowed an initial cooling down period after the update was announced the other tv's d/l'd the update in varying times of a couple of minutes to about 20 minutes.
However I expect most have now d/l'd the update and that 1/2 an hour indicates a problem of some kind.
Ah well, it's good to be wrong sometimes, glad to see it's working for you.

Windows Update stuck on downloading on Server 2012

Hi,
Using VMWare Workstation 9, I created new virtual machine where I installed Windows Server 2012 Standard edition from MDSN disk en_windows_server_2012_x64_dvd_915478.iso In the Server 2012 virtual machine, when I go to check for updates it says
there are important updates available so I click on Install Updates. It then just gets stuck on downloading updates for hours and nothing ever happens. Stuck at 0 KB total, 0% complete. I am able to access web pages using Internet Explorer
with no problem so the machine does appear to have connectivity to the Internet. If I go to help, click on "What can I do if I'm having problems installing updates?" and click on "Tab or click to open the Windows Update troubleshooter"
it says "Windows Online Troubleshooting Service is not enabled for this version of Windows." Any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks,
Greg

I had a similar problem with a guest Windows 2012 R2 running on a Hyper-V host. I went to the network adapter in device manager in the guest and I disabled the "Large Send Offload Version 2 (IPv4)" option. Why? Well, this was also an issue previously when
guesting Windows 2008 where the symptom was an error 80072ee2 when retrieving updates. See this post
http://blog.ronnypot.nl/?p=310 for details. Anyway, I tried this and it worked for me. Hung before the change, worked after.

Try downloading it from the Apple site. Set Safari to download to the desk top:Safari preferences>general>save downloads to desktop. Download to desktop, and run the installer:

Hi Drgeert-
The hub may not be broken per se, but Apple has made adjustments to the limits on current that can be drawn from ports.
You probably need a new hub.

Hi,
Shut down and reboot your iOS (press and hold the wake/sleep button and when prompted, slide to poweroff and then press and hold the wake/sleep button to reboot).
Go look what had happen with your apps. Maybe it's ok. If not, tap and hold its icon and then tap the X to delete it from your iOS device and redownload it from the app store (no charge for that).
Juste to let you know, your description state iPad2 but you are in the forum for iPod.

SP1 Cumulative update 4 stuck on "Downloading information"

I have a server that is attempting to install the SP1 CU4 update for SCCM 2012 client but never succeeds. If you go into the Software Center on the machine, the status is continually stuck at "Downloading information".
I tried to force it by copying the installation package to the server and running the command line option specified in the package properties (msiexec.exe /p configmgr2012ac-sp1-kb2922875-x64.msp /L*v %TEMP%\configmgr2012ac-sp1-kb2922875-x64.msp.LOG /q REINSTALL=ALL
REINSTALLMODE=mous). The installation ran and appears to have been applied successfully (the version of the client shown in Control Panel --> Configuration Manager Properties went from 5.00.7804.1000 to 5.00.7804.1500) and the Software Center icon
went away afterwards.
I was just finishing up congratulating myself when I received a notification from the Software Center again that software was being installed. I opened up Software Center, and there it was again - SP1 CU4 stuck at "Downloading information".
I've rebooted several times, but Software Center continues to pop up every time with same status.
One thing I should note, I recently migrated my SCCM server to new hardware and this "problem server" was installed after the migration. Prior to that, all of my other servers received the SP1 CU4 without issue. Both servers (SCCM and
problem server) are Windows Server 2012 R2.

Thanks for the reply Anoop.
I checked the logs mentioned in the article, and everything looks fine as far as I can tell up until "Step 5: Tracking the Content Download."
In the "DataTransferService" log, there are numerous error messages:
[CCMHTTP] ERROR: URL=http://server.domain.local:80/SMS_DP_SMSPKG$/RIC00009, Port=80, Options=224, Code=0, Text=CCM_E_BAD_HTTP_STATUS_CODE
Error sending DAV request. HTTP code 404, status 'Not Found'
GetDirectoryList_HTTP('http://server.domain.local:80/SMS_DP_SMSPKG$/RIC00009') failed with code 0x87d0027e.
So looks like I have an IIS problem? I opened IIS Manager, and browsed to the directory on the DP server. In that directory, I see several other directories (DataLib, FileLib, PkgLib). I assume my package information should be in the "PkgLib" folder, but
inside that folder are just four .INI files (RIC00001.INI, RIC00002.INI, etc). There is no RIC00009.INI file, maybe that's my problem?
I also went into Config Mgr Console --> Administration --> Distribution Points, went to the properties of my Distribution Point, then to the "Content" tab, highlighted my package and clicked "Validate". Not sure though what this accomplishes.

SINGLE SCCM UPDATE STUCK AT DOWNLOADING 0% COMPLETE

I'm posting this because while there are multiple threads on the Internet about all patches on a client stuck at "downloading 0% complete", there's very little on when only one patch is stuck there network-wide. This was the "Windows Malicious
Software Removal Tool for Windows 8, 8.1 and Windows Server 2013, 2012 R2 x64 Edition - September 2014 (KB890830)". On this network it would not download on any machine. Other versions of the Sept 2014 version of 890830 did install, so it was clearly
something specific to this version of that update. After awhile, I decided to try something that worked for me: Delete the deployment that applies to the machine in question, update distribution points from the package in question, run Machine Policy on the
box in question, wait til the update clears off the Software Center screen, and then run Machine Policy and Software Updates Deployment on the Actions tab. Then the patch installed fine. Hope this helps someone else!

I just figured this out while typing this. One of the suggested threads that appeared when I was typing lead me to the answer for my case. The IIS App Pool for DPs was using an account that did not have rights to particular folder. Some security setting
pushed by the security server changed something. I changed to App Pool to an account that had the needed rights, restarted IIS, and the downloads started working. Maybe this will fix my secondary DP problem too.

Problem downloading update (stuck at 45%)

Hi,
I have a windows server 2012 datacenter and when downloading updates it stucks at 45%. Only when I select only one or two updates each time, the downloading finishes and I can to restart the server and select one or two updates more. Of course it is a problem
because I have a lot of patches for being intalled.
The windows firewall is turned off and I haven't any antivirus installed in the server.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Yes is good enough. In fact we download videos an so on without problems.
During the Windows update, was there any concurrent downloading activities?
Videos uses a lot of bandwidth, so if at the same time it was done during the Windows update then it could cause some issues. Are you using torrent in your DataCenter OS?
Anyway, try downloading Windows update when there is not much of downloading activity.
Every second counts..make use of it. Disclaimer: This posting is provided AS IS with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.

"Apply Downloaded Update Now..." is stuck

other versions of ff on comp not affected, just on my user acct. ff is already updated to .12, yet "Apply Downloaded Update Now..." for ver.11 still remains instead of "Check for Updates" under Help

Run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator).<br />
If that doesn't help then do a clean (re)install.<br />
Download a fresh copy of Firefox ([http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html]) and do a reinstall of Firefox on top of the current version.<br />
If that still causes the same problem then do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.

Ellipsis 7 tablet - drops wi-fi and goes to mobile data w/o telling you, and for no reason?

I don't totally hate my Ellipsis 7 tablet. It does have a nice, bright screen, and it does have a fairly fast processor.
This is where the compliments stop.
1.) It's glitchy. As others have stated, icons do seem to disappear.
2.) It seems to "lose communication" with my high-end Sandisk micro-sd card (that has no other problems when used in my smartphone.)
3.) The battery life could be a lot better - you will charge it every day, even with minimal use.
but my biggest problem with this tablet (which I got from my local Verizon store) is it's "sneaky behavior" with mobile data. I am nearly convinced that these devices are designed, intentionally, to use up your mobile data whenever possible, even when solid wi-fi is available.
Have any of you Verizon Ellipsis 7 users, that use these primarily at home with wi-fi available, noticed a rather large increase in the mobile data being used?
This is sort of long, so I appreciate everyone who takes the time to read this...
Here's my scenario; which I can duplicate.
I live in a place with 2 strong wi-fi networks available. The tablet accesses both of them with no problem. Speed tests show 10Mbps download and 0.768 Mbps upload, the speed we pay for.
One night, I get the text messages from Verizon that I'm close to using all my mobile data. (which I appreciate) But I'd been getting so many texts, emails, etc., that day I didn't look to see what the alert was. My bad! So, I'd gone over and approved $10 to upgrade with one more GB of data. I figured it was a fluke; that somehow I had turned off my wi-fi, or it had gone down, or somehow something happened that made the tablet switch over to mobile data.
...but I was watching more closely now...
less than 24 hours later, I'm getting those messages again! I'd used one GB in less than 24 hours??? So I called Verizon, and we went through the normal putting limits on the device, etc., so it couldn't happen again.
So then, I asked him the simple question? When not 1, but 2, strong wi-fi signals are available, why would this device switch over to mobile data, WITHOUT letting you know???
He couldn't answer that. He transferred me to someone else that was "higher" in techincal support. She was a sweet girl, and really wanted to help me, but she never understood my problem. At one point I said to her, "Look, it's simple. These devices always default to wi-fi if available. What would make them disconnect from wi-fi and go to mobile data instead?" Her answer was that she needed to look up if a tablet was supposed to connect to wi-fi first... uh, OK.
At the end of a very frustrating call, she offered to send me a box to ship it back to Verizon in. They would then decide to repair or replace it. I would be without a tablet for a minimum of two weeks. I said Thanks but No Thanks, I would just disable mobile data entirely. The lady I spoke with did not seem pleased with my decision, but what could she do? And we ended the call.
So, I'm still trying to figure out what is making this thing kick over to mobile data (remember I just shut mobile data off entirely before I hung up with Verizon) and I was currently connected to an external bluetooth speaker (which shouldn't have anything to do with anything, I realize), when I started a video on YouTube.
Now, mind you, I was ALREADY showing connected to a strong wi-fi network.
And up comes a dialog popup, asking me to turn the wi-fi back on, even though I would incur additional charges!
BUSTED, VERIZON!
This message doesn't come up when it tries to switch over from wi-fi to mobile data unless you have completely shut off mobile data.
I only mention that I was connected to an external bluetooth speaker because it is the only way (SO FAR) that I have been able to duplicate this "silent switchover" repeatedly.
If I'm on Youtube first, not connected to my bluetooth external speaker, the device will stay on my wi-fi network when I pause the video, connect to the bluetooth speaker, and then restart the video.
If I'm already connected to the external bluetooth speaker, and then open a browser window or youtube video, the device will attempt to change its connection from wi-fi to mobile data. There is no reason for this!
Yes, yes... I realize that being connected to an external bluetooth device should have absolutely nothing to do with whether the tablet should keep its wi-fi connection or switch to mobile data...
except that it does! And there may be other circumstances that I haven't found yet... I don't know, but I'm watching!
At the end of the day, ANY DEVICE THAT IS GOING TO SWITCH FROM A WI-FI NETWORK TO MOBILE DATA, FOR ANY REASON, SHOULD TELL YOU IT'S GOING TO SWITCH, AND LET YOU DECIDE TO ALLOW THAT CHANGE OR NOT, especially when there is NO REASON for the device to switch in the first place. In the same household are my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and husband's Galaxy S5. They never exhibit this behavior, and yes, we use internet on our phones at home rather frequently.
Watch your mobile data folks...
Oh, and the Verizon lady called back about 30 minutes later... asking me again to agree to send my tablet in. I explained to her that I could now duplicate the problem. I told her that it would be easy enough for them to check and see if all devices are doing it (which I'm guessing they all do! there's not enough memory to download any apps, so I doubt it's that...) I said that with the millions of Ellipsis 7 devices they have, someone in tech support can grab one and try it. Still no luck, and she still wanted me to send it back and be without a tablet for 2 weeks or more. I declined.
Anyway, if you've read this far, I thank you! I would like opinions as to whether you think this should be happening or not, and whether you have had this happen to you or not with this tablet. Thank you for your time!

Hello this is happening to us also (minus the Bluetooth speaker). We can't figure out what is causing the data usage. I turned off mobile data as soon s I activated the device, and got the message that unless I am connected to WiFi.....(that is exactly what I wanted). We watched Netflix for about three hours, then the alerts started. Like you we have many devices connected and never used over 2GB now all of a sudden we have used it in a matter of hours. My husband called Verizon and got the usual doubting Thomas response. I understand that they don't know my device settings. So over the phone we check all the settings and turned off every possible culprit eating up the data and end the call. By now I have purchased another gig for the month! Assured we are NOT using mobile data, we continue on the IE path to bliss. HA! A few hours later I check the mobile data usage on the Verizon website and that darn thing is still using data. After two more phone calls and two VERY uneventful trips to the local store we were told to take out the sim card. This has stopped the data usage, but it defeats the purpose of having the data plan. I could have just stuck with my Surface. Verizon sent us a new sim card. Its been installed and I have set my homepage to Verizon mobile data usage (just kidding) but I am on that site a lot. I am surprised at the number of complaints about this device. When we called the Verizon support acted as though this was the first time they had heard about this. Loved your post, you should write for a living.

My daughter has 2 websites she can not fully access because the iPad won't download updates for Adobe. What is Apple doing to solve this problem?

My daughter has 2 websites she can not fully access because the iPad won't download updates for Adobe. What is Apple doing to solve this problem?

Flash has been used for more than just displaying videos. The Vote choice your daughter found is one of those flash type sites that will not display on iOS devices. There are now over 100 million iPads, and who knows how many more iPhones out there. Developers who want their content to display on all these devices will have to move away from the old Flash technology.
There were some version of Flash that ran on other brands of tablets. But Adobe has stopped all development of Flash for all mobile devices. As time goes on and mobile operating systems evolve the no Apple devices will lose their ability to run Flash too. Web developers need to move on to cleaner, more efficient types of programming.

Please help! I can not Download Updates (invalid serial)

Hi everyone,
I have FCP STUDIO 5.1 and FCP STUDIO 2 (upgrade), both are original full pack that I have been using for a while. Now I just bought a new computer and stop using the old one.
I went for download update here:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/download/
And it tells me to key in serial number of the new pack, I did. Then it tells me to key in the serial of the old pack, and it's not working when I keyed serial number of FCP STUDIO 5.1 in. I am stuck in the middle of an important project here and I don't know what happened.
Why did it say invalid serial number while my pack is 100% original and able to use for the past 2 years before got the upgrade version? What should I do? I really need to get back to work, I can't be late.
Any help from Apple I would appreciate alot!
Thank you.
My email: [email protected]

My standard advice in these circumstances is to be sure you're not confusing letters when you type in the serial.
It is very easy to confuse "O" (upper case o) with "0" (zero) and "I" (upper case i) with "l" (lower case L) or even "1" (one).
It might be worth your while trying to enter the number again bearing this in mind!
