HT1600 Froze during update what do you do

My Apple TV froze during update, I can't turn off. What do I do?

Thanks for the reply. I have always enjoyed your posts.
I figured that I would be looking at a restore event for my ATV3 when the update appeared to have frozen.
So since I had nothing to lose I did a hard reboot on the ATV3. (off and on again)
The device restarted and as expected, the update had not been applied.
Did the update again. ( I was surprised at how long the update process took after the download.)
After the update seemed to have completed, The lone white apple icon blinked off the black screen, the TV/Flat screen via HDMI stayed black/blank. After turning the TV off and on and replugging the HDMI cables and still having a blank screen.  I had no choice.
I did another hard reboot on the ATV3.
System started up with no problems and the update took hold.
So to quote Roy and Moss http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn2FB1P_Mn8

  • IPhone froze during update.  How do you unfreeze?

    When updating iPhone, a partial setup of iTunes was made.  iTunes is not wanted or needed - user is deaf.  iPhone is now froze with a request to connect to iTunes.

    I'm guessing you mean iTunes on a computer (as opposed to iTunes on an iPhone).

    iTunes is used for a whole lot more than sounds.  For one thing, it is used to update the iPhone!  For another, unless you are running OS X Mavericks on a Mac, it houses iBooks.  It also houses movies and apps.
    Bottom line:  Get iTunes on your computer and then connect the iPhone to it.
    Get iTunes from here:

  • IPhone froze during update and lost CD I purchased.

    I plugged my iPhone 4 in after downloading a music CD on the iPhone. I was trying to transfer the CD to my iTunes library. When I plugged in my phone it said that there was an update available, 4.0.1 and asked if I wanted to update my phone. I clicked yes and when I came back a few minutes later the phone froze and had to be completely restored. However, the music CD was not transferred to my iTunes library prior to freezing and the CD is lost. Is there a way that I can get this music back into my iTunes library of back to my iPhone without having to pay for it again since it was a software issue with the phone?

    Unfortunately, you may have to pay for the CD again. You should have had the option to backup your iPhone or been prompted to transfer purchases before the upgrade.
    You can contact iTunes support and let them know what happened and see if they will authorize another download for your account.

    Try:

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod froze during update

    Just tried to instal the latest update and my touch froze. Itunes displayed could not restore   ipod.
    Now my touch just diplays the connect to itunes picture. but itunes doesnt reconize it

    Try resetting the iPod to see if it appears in iTunes.  If it does restore your iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Next try placing the iPod in recovery mode to see if iTunes will see it so you can restore.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Lastly see if placing the iPod in DFU mode will make it visible.

  • * For those that got their 2.3.6 update * What do you think? Pros & Cons

    With every update big and small things will be different, added, removed, and so one. Have you found any new uses or lost functionality? So what's your take on the new update?

    OK, I appreciate that losing the ability to do something because you installed an "upgrade" is a disappointment.
    But if the choice is wait longer for an upgrade or lose that for a while so that others can actually use their phone as a phone without it dropping their voice in the middle of a conversation or having shrill tones blasted in their ears, I'll take the latter.  I'm hoping you feel the same.
    Aside from hopes of a different look / color scheme, added ffc support for video chat ( which gtalk is still missing so add that to the cons ), and improved 4g stability I thought my Charge to be a great phone. For your I hope the update helps because not being able to use your phone as a phone is ridiculous. 
    Note: I must have high standards because the screencaptures I was taking are of the phone I have my eye on to replace my Charge. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus :-D

  • My Mac OS X 10.5.6 froze during update.

    I tried to update the software and it froze after restarting. (At the 'patching files' stage). I shut down the computer and when I started it back up it got stuck in a restart loop. It will not get past the Mac icon page with the turning wheel. The screen goes black and it restarts itself. Help!

    Did this happen while installing 10.5.7? I've had two macs run the update very slowly. One hung up on the Leopard screen, one just took about 30-45 minutes but rebooted successfully.
    Try shocking your PRAM (ctrlalt/opt+PR) while rebooting. I did this as a precaution when hung up on the Leopard screen after a hard reboot. Worked fine.

  • IOS 7 on my 4th gen IPad froze during update.

    Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

  • My ipad froze while updating cant turn off, any suggestions

    my ipad froze during update. cant turn off. any suggestions?

    If you're sure that the update isn't still happening then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Error 1603
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
