Sorry to hear that the software update failed. Unfortunately, it sounds like you need to perform a software repair on your phone via Bridge for Mac.
Wait to connect the phone via USB cable to your Mac > In Bridge for Mac, click at Xperia > Repair Xperia device > Continue > Select your device.
Follow the instructions that appear on the screen to reinstall the software and complete the repair. Do not connect your phone until this guide tells you when and how to connect it.
Note that the phone should be powered off while doing this repair. Disconnect the phone from any kind of power source and hold down the ON/OFF + volume up(+) button for 5-10 seconds and you should force a shutdown.

Did the itunes and ios updates and phone wont work.

PLease help.
I did the itunes and ios updates and it came up with something about apple recovery mode.
The phone will not work and its not being recognised in iTunes.
What do I do? I think I may have made it worse because I've tried to reinstall the previous version of itunes as was suggested elsewhere.
Thanks

Any specific error messages?
Try switching off your seurity software and restore the device http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
NB: using that article will erase everything so make sure you have a backup
try restoring on another computer if this fails, and if that doesn't work either, the device needs hardware repair.

When trying to install ios5 on my iphone, I get error message that there is a problem with backup, if I continue with update all data on my phone will deleted. I cancelled the update and phone is fine. Anyone know the cause?

When trying to install io5 on my iphone4 I get an error message during the updtae that there is a problem with backup and if I continue with the update, all the data will be deleted from my phone. I cancelled the update and my phone is fne. Has anyone else experience this? What is the cause/solution?
Yhanks!

DON'T DO IT! Read the threads ... there is a MAJOR problem with updating iPhones 3GS/4 to iOS 5.
Take it to the Apple store and ask them to do it.
I repeat: DON'T DO IT YOURSELF.

Sony Bridge for Mac wanted an update, and phone won't switch on now!

Hello
Today I was trying to transfer some files from my phone to my Mac. When I connected my phone the Sony Bridge for Mac has asked me if I would like to update so I clicked yes and it began updating, with my phone connected. Then out of sudden, my phone switched off and it won't switch back on. It will only vibrate and show the Sony logo but won't go any futher. I tried the combination of vol+ and on/off button and many others, but nothing works!! I need my phone very urgently at work, and I really don't want to loose any files!!!
Please help!
Solved!

It sounds more like you had a system firmware update and you may have disconnected your phone as this process was happening - All you can do I'm afraid to say is a system repair but this will erase all data on your phone

HT4528 was upgrading to ios6 and phone dead will not boot. what can i do

upgrade iphone 4 to ios6 and phone will not boot up screen dark what can i do?

If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.<br />
You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Help! started new update and phone went comlpetely black. no repsonse to anything. just black screen now for 25 minutes.

I started the new update and last quick look I saw my phone screen going dark. It's been a black screen now for over 30 minutes. there is no response to any button, nor plugging it into computer. It wont even reboot. Now What??

Hello Blueangel45,
Charge your iPhone by connecting it to a direct Power supply (Electric socket) using the Apple Usb cable and Power Adapter for atleast 15 to 20 Minutes. After its charged press and Hold the On/Off switch (On top of your iPhone) and the Home Button (Button at the bottom of your iPhone screen). Hold both the keys simultaneously for atleast 10 to 15 seconds and you should see an Apple Logo coming up on your screen, once you see the Apple logo you can then release oth On/Off switch and Home button and wait for your iPhone's Home screen. If you get any error due to incomplete update and due to which you are unable to use your iPhone as Normal then try restoring your iPhone by taking it in Recovery Mode.

4.0.2 upgrade on 3GS and phone dead in five hours! Help!

I upgraded to 4.0.2 last night and brought my iPhone to work in standby mode. I have done this since the summer of '09 without any issues. Today, my phone was absolutely dead (wouldn't even turn on- no battery) by 1 p.m. It was a 100% charge at 8:30 a.m. this morning. What do I do?

I have had this done to me once on my OG iphone after a update...I hooked it up got an update after being fully chaged and went to complete black screen would not turn on or reseted...I tried hooking it back up with no results, which usually worked if black screen ever occured. Finally I had to play the waiting game let my battery completly drain and than plug it up than by magice it appeared on.

Adobe Application Manager failed during update and fils to reinstall

G'day All,
I put this up in November last year in a Creative Suites discussion thread (sse blow the line), and though the original post has been viewed more than 280 times, I have received no responses. I simply cannot update my CS6 software. I have just reposted the information below there, and figured I should try here, also.
Details : CS6 design and web premium, HP Pavilion quad-core i7, now running Windows 8.1
Essentially my application manager failed while it was upgrading itself as I was attempting to fix a problem with Acrobat/the Adobe PDF printer constantly failing after printing only one PDF. The updater/application manager then simply disappeared from my system altogether.
At the time of the original problem I had downloaded ApplicationManager7.0_all.exe; if I attempt to run it I get a pop-up window 2/3rds of the way through the installation and the following message 'Installer failed to initialise. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem'.
Adobe Support Advisor no longer exists.
So I tried the latest version - ApplicationManager8.0_all.exe. This installed just fine, but seems to be entirely oriented around CC applications, so I haven't tried it on my CS6 programs. Should I just uninstall it? I rather wonder why it says 'This patch will install the Adobe Application Manager that is included with Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe Creative Suite 6, Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 products' if, in fact, it's just for CC products.
So, any suggestions on what to do now? I'd really like to be able to update my applications via a Manager that will actually function.
regards,
Bill
G'day All,
(CS6 design and web premium, Windows 8. HP Pavilion quad-core i7)
Frankly, this is ridiculous.
Having been driven nuts by the 'Acrobat manager is not activated' message which persisted in popping up if I made any attempts beyond one to create a PDF - that is, I could print one, and then no others without a reboot, nor having done so could I read any PDFs - I searched online and got a discouraging, tangled mess of suggestions, including the fairly obvious one of checking that all programs had been updated by the Application Manager.
'Ah,' I thought, 'maybe if I ensure everything's up-to-date this thing where Acrobat failing to start because it thinks it's not 'activated' means I can neither read nor print PDFs will be miraculously fixed without my having to install magical patches or deregister and reregister the entire suite in order to appease a program I don't even use or want!'
Poor naive fool that I am!
So I tried to run the Application Manager.
It momentarily flashed a message claiming (I believe - it was only there for a second) another instance of itself was running, then proceeded to run an update process for the application itself, then threw up an administration window seeking to allow the program to modify the system about 2/3rds of the way through, and then announced via a little window with one of those horrible little red 'fail' symbols that the application manager had failed to install.
It sure had!
That's it - I now have no Application Manager to attempt to manage updates through! No shortcut - that disappeared too! Nothing in the hideous Windows 8 start menu! No search will reveal it! It's simply gone. Yes, I've rebooted.
All I can find online suggests installing a new instance of the Application Manager, which is, of course, the CC version, and I'm not a subscriber. OK, maybe that will work, but, quite frankly, with two strikes against Adobe already I'm going to ask if anyody actually knows whether this approach, or any other, is likely to solve the problem.
regards,
Bill

Thanks for the reply, Jeff. Sure am! But that's not the main problem.
However, it appears the main problem has been fixed - via the installation of AAM 8 - a mere 9 months later! CS6 updates - woohoo!
This didn't fix the Adobe PDF printing thing - in fact, I just lost everything I'd previously typed in response to you testing this hadn't been fixed by AAM 8's updates (it hasn't!).
However, during the 9 month fallow period I've discovered that if I keep process explorer open and kill the splwow64.exe/acrotray.exe process tree after every single PDF printing I don't get bizarre messages telling me the Adobe PDF printer isn't 'activated' or have my system go into a tizzy and need rebooting. So it still doesn't really work, but I do have a work-around...
regards,
Bill

Failed iOS update. Phone stuck- please help

I was FINALLY doing the update that needed to be done for all iPhone and iPod/iPad. It is telling me that my phone is is "recovery mode" and will need to be restored in order to use iTunes. I no longer care about the update, I just want my phone back! Now there is a permanent picture on my phone that is telling it is plugged into iTunes, when it isn't, HELP!?!?!?

Just go to YouTube.com in safari and view the content that way. Create a shortcut on the home screen so you do not bleed to type in the address.
