I have been trying to update my software for the past 3 hours. It just goes so far and stalls. I've never had this problem before, what am I doing wrong?

I have been trying to update my iPad2 for the past 3 hours. It just sets there doing very little and says its going to take 9 hours.  What am I doing wrong?  I've never had this problem before.  Also can I update from any other computer? Just in case it is my lap top.

Do you get any error messages ? If you get a network timeout error when downloading the update then try temporarily turning off all your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.
It's best to only update via your own computer, otherwise you risk losing all your iPad's contents - updating to iOS 5 wipes the iPad and then restores your backup. If you having problems downloading the update then you could try downloading the update file via a browser on another computer and then copying that file to your laptop for the actual update .

  • My itune gift card says it's not authorized.  I've tried to redeem by typing in upper case letters and lower case letters.  I've never had this problem before, what do I do so I can use this gift card?

    I bought an itunes gift card yesterday and I have tried to redeem, but when I do I get a message the card has not been authorized.  I have typed in typed in the code as seen mostly upper case and I have tried lower case also.  Neither is working.  I've never had this problem before.  Should the store where I purchased it from done something to supposedly "activate" it.  I'm at a loss.  I do not have the store reciept a friend does, and I'm sure she desposed of it.

    Yes, the retailer is supposed to activate the card. Otherwise they'd lose hundreds to shoplifting. What you normally should do is go back the retailer from whom you purchased the card and discuss the problem with them. They should either correctly activate the card or give you a new one. If they refuse to help, as some retailers do, or this was a gift so you cannot contact the retailer, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

    How large is your HD and how much space do you have left?
    Check out the following & do the necessary: 
    Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
    Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
    Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
    Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
    Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
    Try SU again. 
    If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS.I've never had this problem before... today I opened iTunes and it prompted me to download the newest version.  I use iTunes all the time and have updated it multiple times with no issues.  During the installation process it gave me an error message that said: 
    Runtime error! 
    Program C:\Program Files\iTunes.exe
    R0634
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I quit the installation, uninstalled iTunes and rebooted my computer.  I now receive a similar message with a slight difference:
    Runtime error! 
    Program C:\Program Files (x86)...
    R0634
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I did not leave anything out from the error message.  It doesn't point to a specific file, it just ends with "(x86)..."  Every time I boot up my computer, this error message pops up on my desktop.
    How do I repair this issue?  I have found multiple suggested solutions but am unsure which one is the best, and I don't want to try a bunch of different things for fear I may make the problem worse.  I would like to try and fix this myself if possible but I need to know if that is really possible or if I need to take my computer to someone for repairs.  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

    Hi lustyln,
    I'm having a little trouble understanding all of what you are trying to explain. From what I can tell, it sounds like your PC has a lot of software problems and you want to know what is supposed to be there and what isn't.
    For reference, here are your product specifications:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01893242&lc=en&product=4043282
    To get your PC software back to how it was when it was first purchased, run a system recovery:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01867418&lc=en&product=4043282
    I hope this helps.

  • ITunes fails to load.  Message is Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services. Never had this problem before trying to install this upgrade

    iTunes fails to load.  Message is "Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services." Never had this problem before trying to install this upgrade. How do I fix this?

    Dave, same problem here.  And I did go in as admin to Administrative Tools, Services, Apple Mobile Devices and tried restarting the service.  It seems there is a bug with the newest update, period.  All of the normal "easy" steps don't work.  Before I remove all of Apple's programs, including Bonjour....I'm running a full system scan.
    But the answer will be to remove all of the Apple stuff, then reboot, then use whatever utility you have to remove all temp files...then go download and install it again.  This has worked for several people (I read the thread before posting).  Win 7 64bit.  It just seems that Apple did not thoroughly test this new version.   Period.
    If Apple reads this...I have many computers...and whenever Apple wants to update something...it just about stops everything else that is going on.  Total memory hog, even with 16G RAM and dual quad core processors.  It has to learn to play nice with others.
    After the scan and I'm sure an hour or two of work...I'll re-post. 
    Of course if you do image back-ups, as I do, you can simply restore your drive to its previous state and run the previous version of iTunes, declining the update, until Apple gets it right.  Depending on the size of your drive, this could take hours.  It is a matter of choice, of course.

  • TS1398 since i update my iphone4 to ios6 i have a problem with my wi-fi i never had this problems before .

    since i update my iphone4 to ios6 i have a problem with my wi-fi i never had this problems before .

    If it is grey and/or won't allow you to slide it to the on position, follow these steps... More than likely you will need to get it serviced.
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Restart your iOS device.
    Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
    If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, see how to resolve those Wi-Fi issues.

    has anyone else had a problem with data? after updating my phone to the new update, i have all this data, and keep getting notifications that my data is getting high. i never had this problem before.

    fair enough.  No need for any unnecessary posts either.  You issue had been addressed ad nauseum already in this forum had you bothered to search this forum (as forum etiquette would dictate) before posting.
    In any case, I hope that your problem was solved.

    Wow that was really quick, thank you so much.  Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it.  I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names.  isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
    So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
    either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

    Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
    This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
    On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library. Note that once done you cannot "share" apps under a single Apple ID. Each of you must purchase your own apps under your own Apple ID. When you decide to split up like this one of you will need to re-purchase the apps that they want to use.
    Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data.  Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
    Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
    Note: The essence of the above was created by user, randers4. I
    have made substantial changes to improve readability and syntax.
