HT4623 Why is Software update is taking too long?

Im trying to update my iPhone 3gs 5.0.1 to 6.1.2 and I received an Error "iPhone software update failed" i tried it several times but nothing happened

Are you trying to do on your phone or with iTunes?   Most people here would advise to do an update in iTunes and to not forget to back up your phone first before doing so.

  • Update is taking too long to install

    I'm in the process of installing an update to iTunes (11.0.4) and what I think is a security update on my MBP. However, the installation process is taking too long. First, it was stuck for about 2 hours on "registering updated components", and now (for the last hour) I'm seeing a blue screen with the spinning gear. Should I just keep waiting? Has anyone had a similar experience? 

    zornie,
    Try going to safari>preferences, general tab, and setting the "save downloaded files to your desktop (if desktop is not in the drop down menu, click other then select desktop from the left side bar). This will download the update to your dektop as a stand alone installer. Also if for some reason the download is interupted you can click the download icon on the desktop and it will resume where it left off. When the download is complete double click the icon/installer package and follow the prompts. Do them one at a time. (Thsi is not using software update, which can some times get corrupted during DL, especially if your are doing it wireless)
    Security update:

    Thank you all for the great ideas, you have been extremely helpful. Here is what we did and were able to resolve the query.
    We started with Etbin's idea to create a table from the ext table so that we can index and reference easier than an external table, so we did the following:
    SQL> create table ext_person as select P_ID,ED_ID,trim(F_NAME) fst_name,trim(L_NAME) lst_name from EXT_NAMES_CSV;
    Table created.
    SQL> desc ext_person
    Name                                                                                Null?    Type
    P_ID                                                                                         NUMBER
    ED_ID                                                                                        NUMBER
    FST_NAME                                                                                     VARCHAR2(300)
    LST_NAME                                                                                     VARCHAR2(300)
    SQL> select count(*) from ext_person;
      COUNT(*)
         93383
    SQL> CREATE INDEX EXT_PERSON_ED ON ext_person (P_ID,ED_ID) TABLESPACE D_INDEX;
    Index created.
    SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_index_stats(ownname=>'APPD', indname=>'EXT_PERSON_ED',partname=> NULL , estimate_percent=> 30 );
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.We had a look at the plan with the original SQL query that we had:
    SQL> explain plan for update temp_person
      2  set first_name = (select fst_name
      3                    from ext_person
      4                               where temp_person.PERSON_ID=ext_person.p_id
      5                               and   temp_person.DISTRICT_ID=ext_person.ed_id);

  • Update statement taking too long to execute

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to run this update statement. But its taking too long to execute.
        UPDATE ops_forecast_extract b SET position_id = (SELECT a.row_id
            FROM s_postn a
            WHERE UPPER(a.desc_text) = UPPER(TRIM(B.POSITION_NAME)))
            WHERE position_level = 7
            AND b.am_id IS NULL;
            SELECT COUNT(*) FROM S_POSTN;
            214665
            SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ops_forecast_extract;
            49366
    SELECT count(*)
            FROM s_postn a, ops_forecast_extract b
            WHERE UPPER(a.desc_text) = UPPER(TRIM(B.POSITION_NAME));
    575What could be the reason for update statement to execute so long?
    Thanks

    What could be the reason for update statement to execute so long?You haven't said what "too long" means, but a simple reason could be that the scalar subquery on "s_postn" is using a full table scan for each execution. Potentially this subquery gets executed for each row of the "ops_forecast_extract" table that satisfies your filter predicates. "Potentially" because of the cunning "filter/subquery optimization" of the Oracle runtime engine that attempts to cache the results of already executed instances of the subquery. Since the in-memory hash table that holds these cached results is of limited size, the optimization algorithm depends on the sort order of the data and could suffer from hash collisions it's unpredictable how well this optimization works in your particular case.
    You might want to check the execution plan, it should tell you at least how Oracle is going to execute the scalar subquery (it doesn't tell you anything about this "filter/subquery optimization" feature).
    Generic instructions how to generate a useful explain plan output and how to post it here follow:
    Could you please post an properly formatted explain plan output using DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY including the "Predicate Information" section below the plan to provide more details regarding your statement. Please use the {noformat}[{noformat}code{noformat}]{noformat} tag before and {noformat}[{noformat}/code{noformat}]{noformat} tag after or the {noformat}{{noformat}code{noformat}}{noformat} tag before and after to enhance readability of the output provided:
    In SQL*Plus:
    SET LINESIZE 130
    EXPLAIN PLAN FOR <your statement>;
    SELECT * FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY);Note that the package DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY is only available from 9i on.
    In 9i and above, if the "Predicate Information" section is missing from the DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY output but you get instead the message "Plan table is old version" then you need to re-create your plan table using the server side script "$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlxplan.sql".
    In previous versions you could run the following in SQL*Plus (on the server) instead:
    @?/rdbms/admin/utlxplsA different approach in SQL*Plus:
    SET AUTOTRACE ON EXPLAIN
    <run your statement>;will also show the execution plan.
    In order to get a better understanding where your statement spends the time you might want to turn on SQL trace as described here:
    When your query takes too long ...
    and post the "tkprof" output here, too.

  • HT4623 why is software update not shown in settings on my ipad?

    I'm trying to update my ipad for ios 5 and cannot find "software update" under settings, general. Any idea why?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

    My iPod was updating to iOS 6 and i shut it off during the update because it was taking too long and now my screen in baby blue i've tried to drain the battery but when i plugged it in to charge the blue screen came back on.I dont know what to do

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - 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.

    I think you can stop the download without any harm coming to your phone. But if it is actually installing and not just downloading, I would let it finish.
