Freezing up during software update

I just installed loin on one of my hard drives on my early 2008 Mac Pro. During software update the OS either crashes or freezes up.

I was eventually able to correct the problem. It first started because the phone's battery got completely discharged - thought the USB cable would keep it powered but that wasn't the case.
Anyway, tried to reboot the phone by removing and reinstalling the battery and the phone would not turn on, so this is how I understood what happened. Disconnected it from the USB cable and got the following message:
Your BlackBerry® Device Software is updated and you can safely disconnect your device.
Warnings were encountered during the loading process:
Application data could not be restored to the device. The backup data file has been saved to "file name". You can use the Desktop Software Backup/Restore tool to restore this information.
Recharged the phone, did the restore and the phone is back to life !
Cheers,
Giorgio

HT202157 My Apple TV blocked during software update. What should I do?

My Apple TV blocked during software update. What should I do?

You can't do much else besides pull the plug. If it causes further problems you should be able to restore as below:
Get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
On the other hand you may be able to simply start the update again. If however the update continues to fail, you should try the restore routine above.

Error message during software updates

I am constantly receiveing the following error message during software updates. This time it happened with an HP printer update, but it has happened with iTunes and Safari as well. Does anyone know what I need to do?
The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/GeneIOUSBCFSubclass.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update
Thanks!

Try using Help > Updates from one of your CS6 applications.
When you return home, you might try uninstalling CS6 and reinstalling it again. It sounds like some stuff may have become corrupted.

LOST MY CONTACT DURING SOFTWARE UPDATE

I LOST MY CONTACTS DURING SOFTWARE UPDATE A WEEK AGO , TRIED TO RESTORE FROM MY LAST BACK UP HELD ON MAY 16, BUT FAILED , AM EVEN SURE I'V SELECTED ALL DATA BACKUP FOR ANY OF MY PREVIOUS BACKUP , TRIED TO RESTORE FROM ANY BUT FAILED , TRIED THE GMAIL CONTACTS ALSO FAILED , WONDERING WHERE MY CONTACTS I'VE SAVED FOR MORE THEN 10 YEARS ARE GONE ....AM TOTTALY DISSAPOINTED SINCE AM A BLACKBERRY USER SINCE 5 YEARS , ALWAYS SUPPORTED BLACKBERRY AGAINST IPHONE USERS , ALL MY FREINDS ARE NO MORE USING BLACKBERRY AND SWITCHED TO IPHONE OR SAMSUNG , AM HAVING AN EMPTY BBM LIST NOW , BUT STILL SUPPORTING AND EVEN BOUGHT THE Z10 FIRST WEEK OF RELEASE , I WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT A TECHNICAL PROBLEM HAPPENED DURING THE SOFTWARE UPDATE , BUT CANT UNDERSTAND THE USELESS BACK UP I'VE ALWAYS DOING ! AND THE WORSE IS THAT LAST SOFTWARE UPDATE TURNED THE Z10 TO A WORSE MOBILE.

Hum, it is worrying...
So... your contacts seem to be on:
Gmail,
your previous backups.
-Solutions:
if all your contacts are on Gmail: copy them manually on your device,
they are a priori all in your backups: wait that Link won't be in Beta anymore, and then restore.
P.S.:
You make backups and don't register your contacts on SIM, is it possible ? Personally, I rarely register contacts on SIM. If there is a malware, it can be charged from the SIM to the Phone, this is why.

Throttle CPU utilization during software updates

Are there any settings to throttle CPU Utilization during software update installation on client computers? I am deploying updates to test systems currently and noticed that the CPU utilization was being pegged at 100% during the install. After
the updates installed, the system returned to normal.

Also note that ultimately, it is the Windows Update Agent that is installing the update(s) so it's not really within ConfigMgr's scope of control and would happen no matter what method you chose to use to update these systems with Windows Updates which
leads me to believe these systems have perf issues to begin with. Are they VMs?

Keep awake during software updates?

hello.
so I'm using ARD, and automator, ical, to schedule a software update on certain machines at certain times. so far I havnt had much luck, I think due to the fact that machines go to sleep during the update. I would prefer not to have to set my stations to stay awake all the time, but instead to stay awake during software updates/ permissions repairs, long enough to complete the task and send the confirmation back to ARD.
Thanks for any help someone may have/suggestions/etc

Use ARD to send the Unix command *systemsetup -help*
This will return a bunch of different commands for you to look at that are related to power and energy saving settings. Choose one that changes the sleep settings. Make sure you send the command as the root user
You can always read the man files for the pmset command using your Terminal app. Also check out this page too:

How can you restore photos lost during software update on iTunes?

How do you restore or even find photos lost during software update of iphone 4 on iTunes?

Why did you not back it up before performing the update? Did you perform the update on a computer other than the one you normally sync with?
As already stated, if you didn't back it up, the data is now gone.

IPhone 4 freezes during software update

Here we go. I've searched the forum. This problem is known, but there is no single solution that has worked for everyone. So I'll post here and see if I'm wrong.
iPhone 4 - I do not know the current version of the iOS, but I was upgrading to today's latest.
Windows Vista
Latest version of itunes 10.4.1.10
iTunes updated fine, iPhone backed up fine, software update dowloaded, error occurred during the actual update.
Now, iphone screen has the usb plug and itunes logo on it, as if it's telling me to plug the phone in to my MC and fire up itunes. Which I do. And nothing happens. This happened to me before on the same computer, only with an iPod Gen2. The only solution I even found for that was plugging into a different PC, restoring the ipod, coming back to this PC and restoring the backup, but not installing the software.
This time I don't even get the message that my device is stuck in restore mode.
Help anyone? I'm ******.

Hello curtis84: I tried unsuccessfully for several weeks to locate a fix online for this issue. I've seen may posts for this issue and a lot of complaining about Apple's lack of response with a fix. After trying various times to uninstall software reinstalling software, deleting backups blah blah blah; I decided to do things the "hard" way. I installed ITunes on another one of our computers and backed up my Iphone to that computer. Doing this gives you a warning that only certain portions of the iphone are backed up since I'm using another computer. Another stupid feature of ITunes....Since I use the IPhone on a Windows computer AND all of my contacts, emails are on an MS Outlook account, the only painful part of this was my ITunes Library. Photos and music were backed up on a separate (USB) hard drive and transferred manually. This did wipe out my playlists for my IPhone but at least I can run the software. The back up works the update works and the syncing runs much quicker than before. I realize this isn't an elegant solution but since Apple has not provided a posting for Windows based computers, this is my attempt to help those who need it.
A little feedback for Apple; not that they seem to be listening but here it goes; I always hear from others how much of a pain Microsoft is due to cross compatibility issues snd their protectinonism; but in all of my years of running numerous computer systems including Apple I have never encountered such a total lack of disregard for customer support as I have with Apple and their OS updates. This includes their computer based and phone based OS. From a business perspective, this specific lack of cross platform support undermines your product and allows competitors to bulld support for their products. Please do the right thing and properly support your loyal customers whether MS or Apple based. The phone rocks. Just support it!
Best Regards.

A freeze during software update killed brand new Macbook Pro?

I have only had this computer for about 2.5-3 weeks, and it came with Lion. I was installing the recommended software update (attached to power like recommended), and the update froze about 10% from being finished (the bar did not move for 20 minutes). I pushed the power button to restart it, but ever since then, it won't restart; it only will show the Apple screen, and then I hear the hard drive shut down while the circle is still spinning. I tried booting it up holding down cmd-S, to see what the text would say, and it tells me that the bootstrapper has crashed. I am able to get to the recovery pane by booting with cmd-R, which is how I am on the internet, but I can't access my hard drive at all.
I did just do a time machine backup yesterday, but I have installed the entire Adobe Master Collection since then (which took FOREVER), and I was at school all day doing work, so I have quite a bit of important stuff I'd rather not lose if I can help it.
Any suggestions? I think this computer is possessed...I have had so many problems with it since Day 1.

You do know that Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy?
So you should of taken it back when you have the first problems. Now you are past that date but you still may be able to return it for a replacement that actually works as it should. The only way to tell is to take it back to where you bought it and explain all the problems you have had, including that it will not boot after doing this latest update, and ask for an exchange for a new unit that will work correctly.
Good Luck.

Screen freeze during software update

I was doing a routine software update and Itunes gave may a warning that an unknown error had occured and the update had stopped. On my iPod I was left with an image of a USB plug and and Itunes logo. I tried resetting the device (ON/OFF switch at the same time as the button on the upper right) and it went thru the normal reset process with the Apple logo but then came back to the same USB/Itunes screen. The iPod doesn't even show up in Itunes at this point. Suggestions?

- Try rebooting the computer
- Next try placing the iPod in recovery mode. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- The try placing the iPod in DFU mode.
