    trying to update my iphone it says in my software update

    Have you tried hooking your iPhone up so you can see it in iTunes? If there is an update, you can check there and then download the update.

    I would "guess", since you were in the middle of backing up, your backup is corrupt & most likely unusable. Only one way to find out though, & that's by trying to restore from that backup. If your pics are not there, they are gone.

    HI, sadly 10.5.8 doesn't support the newest iTunes.
    First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
    then you must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.

    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

    It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.

  • Can't update phone + Desktop Software error

    So just recently my phone's been acting really strange. The battery of the phone used to last me 2 days but now it only lasts 5 hours. Also the back of the phone (below the battery to be precise) has started to become hot to the touch. (I have replaced the battery and it still has the same problem.) Today, I went to the 'Orange' store to see if they had any solutions. They told me to download the blackberry desktop software and try to update the package software of my phone.
    So I got the software, backed up my phone, then I tried to update my phone.
    This is where it gets weird. I was notified to update from '6.0 bundle 695' (I've never updated it since I bought the phone.) to '6.0 bundle 2949'. So, as prompted, I clicked update. Before it updates, I get told that "An updated BlackBerry desktop software component must be installed before you can continue."
    So I click to install, but in about 1 tenth of a second, I get "There was an error updating your software, please try again." The window then closes, leaving me unable to update my software.
    No matter how many times I retry, I get the exact same error.
    If anybody has any ideas or possible solutions on how to update the phone, stop the bad battery life and stop the unusual amount of heat being emitted, it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
    1) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
    2) Make sure you have the most recent BB Desktop Software already installed
    http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?lid=us:bboftwareesktopSoftware&lpos=us:bboftware
    3) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    4) If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    5) Launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC. If, during the process, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
    Don't forget to backup.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • I tried to update the latest software update for my MacBook pro (which was on 10/12) and after it started to update it restarted like normal but when it started back up it was running painfully slow and none oft programs will open.They all quit unexpectal

    I tried to update the latest software update for my MacBook pro (which was on 10/12) and after it started to update it restarted like normal but when it started back up it was running painfully slow and none oft programs will open.They all quit unexpectedly. iTunes microsoft word all of them quit unexpectedly. Help!

    Exact same problem with my 2010 MBP 2.4ghz 4gb ram 10.6.8. iTunes said update was needed, Software Update ran with various updates including a security update, truthfully didn't pay much attention, I always install the Apple updates. After the restart it took 3-4 times longer than normal to get to the login screen, same to get to the desktop but I'm familiar with that occurring on update restarts. Unfortunately it got worse from there. Performed a full shutdown and startup. Same long boot.  After the desktop finally loads every mouse button press received a 2 minute beachball. I use menu-meters and both processors are under 10%. Waited a few minutes for disk utilities to launch, repair permissions estimates 3 hours for a typical <10 minute process. Activity monitor shows nothing over 10% CPU most of the time however ReportCrash pops to the top often. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW zero problems until this update.

  • Trying to update my device software

    I'm trying to update my device software.
    There is new software that's available for my BB 8900
    but my wireless provider has the older version v4.6.1.250
    I've tried to download from the BB website but fails to do so.
    Has anybody updated their curve 8900????

    This is what need to do -
    1. Check the available software is specifically designed for your device or not
    2. If it's for your device, then check is it released for your carrier or not
    3. If it's for your carrier, then download and install in your PC and use Desktop Manager to load the new device OS in your 8900
    4. If it's not released for your carrier, after installation look for vendor.xml file from c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
    5. Connect your device and install the new OS via desktop manager.
