    You probably need to place your iPad into recovery mode as documented here:

    I have 8 apps that, when I tried to update, are now stuck on "installing" in the box that says update. every time  I try to update another app, it gets frozen like this as well. I was able to quit all apps, but these, as they do not respond. Any ideas?

    Reset your iPad by holding the home and on/off buttons together for 6 or 7 seconds till the Apple logo appears.  Then update your apps one at a time.  Do not start the next app until the current one downloads and finishes installing.

  • Hi, Hi, Hi  I have the old MacBook Pro. Upgraded to Mountain Lion which completely wrecked the system. So downgraded to Snow Leopard. The updated the combo update. Now stuck on blue screen at start-up. Need help. Greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi,
    I have the old MacBook Pro. Upgraded to Mountain Lion which completely wrecked the system. So downgraded to Snow Leopard.
    Then updated the combo update. Now stuck on blue screen at start-up.
    Need help. Greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Downgrade Lion/Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard
      1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer
          loads select your language and click on the Continue
          button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the
          Utilities menu.
      2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the
          mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status
          of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then
          the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART
          info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on
          the Partition tab in the DU main window.
      3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions
          from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS
          Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
          partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on
          the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • Wireless update freezes phone now stuck please help

    my torch has started a wirless update but when getting through back up freezes between 8 an 20 % . Have noticed in forum that this is known but for a computer update you just take out this as a back up option but on a wireless update the phone is stuck if I do a battery pull and put itback after few mins it starts again and tries to update is there anyway to cancel update or solve this. tried pluggin into pc but doesnt do anything different. please help

    Hello,
    A forced wireless update? I've honestly never seen that...quite unusual...normally, you must initiate the process. Nevertheless, as I'm sure you've seen, OTA updates are NEVER recommended for exactly the situation you are experiencing. The OTA update conducts an on-device backup, which is used to restore after a successful OS update. But, if anything should go wrong, that backup file is lost forever. Hence, updating via PC is recommended since you then have the opportunity to take a manual backup and store that resulting IPD file on your PC.
    But, back to your issue...the update being forced is rather strange. If there's no way to prevent it, then perhaps you could try the following:
    Turn off all network connections (both mobile carrier data network as well as WiFi) and then do a batt-pull reboot. See if the update continues to be forced...if not, then proceed with a PC/USB based update.
    Failing that, try booting into Safe Mode and see if you can then keep the forced update from running:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    I've honestly never tried to update the BB OS (from a PC) when the BB is in Safe Mode, but you could give that a try and see if it helps.
    Let us know how those attempts work out for you.

  • While updating phone got stuck in recovery loop

    This morining i wanted to update my iphone 4 to iOs 7.1.1
    It started and the 'veryfing' sing came up. the phone then shut down and the screen 'connect to itunes' came up and nothing else happened. So i found out that my phone got stuck in the recovery loop. During the day i tried different ways to get out of that mode. By now the phone wont even connect to itunes.
    What can i do?

    Hi 11Tiana22,

  • Mac Mini Yosemite update failed now stuck in loop

    Hi I did the stupidest thing possible when upgrading an OS, didn't take a backup. Instead of trying to find space on a drive I just hit update and now I am kind of screwed. I have a new Mac Mini I bought in January of this year. The first time I downloaded yosemite from the app store and it failed due to "essentials" package. After several restarts and failures I booted to recovery mode and attempted to reinstall the OS from there. Three days later and that has failed countless times both on wifi and a hard ethernet connection.
    Can anyone suggest a way to either get me back to mavericks or get yosemite to install correctly that won't involve me losing everything on the computer?

    1. Boot into Recovery Mode
    2. Plug in your external HD
    3. Open disk utility and select Macintosh HD
    4. Select "New Image"
    5. Save it to your external HD. (If you want, you can create a read-only image, instead of a compressed image by selecting read only for the image format. The read-only takes less time)
    6. Wait for it to create the disk image
    7. Once it's done, click the erase tab on your Mac HD disk.
    8. Select "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" for the format, and Macintosh HD for the Name.
    9. Click Erase (Note: this will erase all data on your disk)
    10. Re-install OS X.
    Hope this helps, and if you need clarification on any steps, just ask

  • Trying to upgrade to ios5 software but my phone update failed - now STUCK in recovery mode

    i have followed all the steps given online, turn it off, reset, unplug, restart comp, disabled firewalls EVERYTHING... ive been at it all evening. ive even tried restoring on my brothers computer but still nothing! i keep getting error code 1603 i follow everything and nothing works! can someone please help me! is it the phone? my computer or what?! i use my phone for everything and im lost without it ... HELP ME PLEASEEEEE!!!

    Okay, I'm not very tech-savy sorry..
    The warranty only last 12 months, I've had my phone 16 months so the phone line help isn't available to me anyway as my warranty's expired.
    I don't actually know what "jail breaking" is, I've just seen it mentioned as a solution when googling my problem.
    I previously synced my phone on itunes, if i restore it, do you think there's a way itunes may remember the information(photos) & back it up on to the restored phone?
    I don't know if it makes a difference, but itunes on my laptop has updated itself, and i synced my phone on the previous version before it did so
    Thank you for your help x

  • HT1766 i tried to update phone now its wont turn on

  • Tried to update phone now frozen

    I got my iphone 3gs a couple of months ago and I tried to do the software upgrade tonight. The download was complete then it went through preparing iphone and froze up and did nothing for about 15 minutes. So I unplugged it. Now the phone has the usb cable and the itunes symbol on the screen and it will not go away have turned off and on still there. I reconnected iphone to itunes and a message pops up that says iphone in recovery mode and needs to be restored. What will I lose if I restore? Can I fix without restoring?

    You need to restore - no other way to fix it. If you use your backup, and re-sync your media and apps, you won't lose anything except messages, email and app data not in that backup.
    If the backup causes the phone to fail, you'll have to restore as a new iPhone. In that case you lose all settings (WiFi, BT, app - phone setting, stored SMS, etc. You still can sync apps, media and email settings.

  • Tried updating 9810. now blackberry won't start. won't update.

    Device info
    i have a Torch 9810 unlocked that i'm using in UAE. it was running 7.1 and trying to update to the latest version. 
    Apps and free space
    Phone won't turn on so i don't have this information
    I tried to update to the latest version by plugging into my laptop and running Desktop software. luckily i did back up before doing anything. if pertinent, desktop software needed to update itself before itwould update my phone.
    it gave me some error while trying to load the application modules and then just crashed.
    now if i try to turn on the blackberry, it just loads up to the loading bar, the bar goes all the way to the end and stops there. 
    i connected it back to the laptop and tried to repair. it asked me to update again. 
    now when it tried to update, i get an error at the backup stage saying that application loader could not connect to my phone. and since the phone isn't working, it asks me to click igore and continue. 
    then it tries to install the new updated OS. it gets through enabling RAM or whatever, erasing applications, loading system software, waiting for device initialization, reconnecting to JVM. when it gets to "loading application modules", it gives me the following error:
    The Application Loader could not connect to you Blackberry device. try the following actions"
    (see pic)
    [IMG]http://i607.photobucket.com/albums/tt156/belseat/bbupdateerror.jpg[/IMG]
    i tried all the steps and clicked retry a few times. no luck. what do i do? 
    i wouldn't mind just restorng from my backup and using my phone like that. but i can't even get desktop software to allow for a restore at the moment. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It sounds like there's something seriously wrong with the update process.  It appears that you're doing nothing wrong.  Since Desktop Software is giving you so much trouble, I would suggest perhaps taking your phone in for a replacement.  If your phone is newer than one year old, it will be free to exchange it (well, there might be a service charge but your carrier is responsible for exchanging it).
    I would suggest following through on this suggestion.  Once you have your new phone, you can load the backup file that you created.  I don't know why you're having these issues but I wouldn't waste much more time on it.  Get a replacement and load your backup file on it.
    I hope that helps you. 
    P.S.  My suggestion seems drastic but I'm not sure what else to suggest.  If you want to wait and see what other members suggest, that's fine, however I believe you have an issue that's not going to resolve itself very easily.
    Cheers.
