I have tried to update my iphone4s and it is stuck still updating in the same place for over 12 hours, what can i do?

i have updated my iPhone 4s to the most recent software. my pone verified the update and switched off, it then came back up with the apple logo and the loading bar, but since it got past halfway through it's stopped and won't go any further. I've tried switching it off and it hasn't responded, what can I do?

Hi l.elvidge,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
In this situation I suggest you try resetting the device first and trying to continue update.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If that does not resolve your issue, you may need to put the device in recovery mode and restore it from a previous backup after the update installs.
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

Have a great day,

HT6114 My iMac seems to have frozen during the update- how long should I expect the update to take? The 'installing software update' bar is still showing itself working but has been stuck in the same position for over an hour.

Update2: There is something very wrong with wireless on mountain lion recovery. I don't know what the problem is, but this link may explain:
http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/10/os-x-mountain-lion-10-8-1-beta-released-for-dev-t esting-may-include-wi-fi-fix/
Wireless recovery would start out with over 25 hours estimated and kept on failing. It turns out to be a two step process of downloading a few Mbytes then a 4Gbyte .dmg file, but I couldn't even download the Mbyte file. I bought the thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter, plugged it in, restarted recovery and download of a little more than 4Gbytes took less than an hour. My limiting factor was probably comcast home internet rate of 12Mbps. The wi-fi wireless connection should be able to do over 100Mbps, so wireless shouldn't be much slower than wired, except wi-fi wireless is broken. Now that ML is installed and updated, wi-fi seems fine now, as I am using it right now, but I haven't tried downloading a big file yet.
Don't use wi-fi wireless for Mountain Lion recovery.

I have 2 accounts in my family and would like to purchase some of the same songs for both accounts, however when I try to purchase a duplicate song from the second account the song says play instead of purchase. How can I get some of the same songs?

Hello brownie67,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you're currently unable to update your iOS device Over The Air, then please update it using iTunes.

I have tried to update my credit card information for over a month and it has been impossible!

I have tried changing it on the Adobe website but it doesnt work, I've tried calling and the waiting time is always 24 hours which is ridiculous. I have tried using the chat but nobody ever answers. Please help!

Hi Camila83,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
I am very sorry trouble that you are facing,
I would request you to contact Bank prior to contact Adobe at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6 .
Adobe has repeatedly tried to take charge from the Bank which the Bank denied.

Check iTunes and see if you have a pending/stalled download e.g. Podcast, Books, Music, Movies or iTune U. Finish off the download and you should be able to update.
If there are no pending or stalled downloads, sign-out of account, reboot and sign-in again.

Again without stating the trouble shooting steps you have taken, its hard to direct you with any information.
Try a different port on the computer.
Does the iphone beep when u plug it up. ?
Plug iphone into computer and give it 3 to 4 minutes to see if it connects and is running slow.,
Delete the apple mobile device from your computer.
Upgrade itunes to newest version.
Is you USB cord defective ?
Any USB 3.0 on your system ? .
Delete or Disable any antivirus program on your computer ?
I will tell u the problem is your computer not the phone.
We could do this for hours.

If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

You have two choices. You can select another backup. I believe that your three most recent backups should be presented as choices. If for some reason you only have one backup and it will not restore, you have to restore as new.
Do you see other backups when you are at that step in the activation process?

How do I fix my iPod when it goes to a white screen and then grey with a dark oval in the middle. I have tried restarting it a few times but it just goes back to the same thing. It has also been doing this for two days now.

please help me!

- Have you tried resetting the iPod.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then connect to computer and if it shows in iTunes restore.
- If screen is still on, let the battery fully drain. Then charge for an hour and try the reset and retore again.
