There are two methods of recovery for you to try:
One:
Open Blackberry Desktop Software & Connect your device with PC using USB cable, without inserting battery.
You will get three option Retry, Update Or Cancel, then click on update.
Once it is to the stage of the update "initializing handheld", then insert battery.
If this does not work, and you remain stuck on the backing up the Social Feeds database, go to the second method below.
Secondly:
Start your BlackBerry in Safe mode.  Article ID: KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Modehttp://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB17877
Connect to the BlackBerry Desktop Software and allow your handheld to connect. If you are prompted to upgrade, cancel the upgrade for later.
IF you cannot connect or your Desktop Software does not recognize your device while in Safe Mode, please follow the directions here to force the detect:  Article ID: KB10144 How to force the detection of the BlackBerry smartphone using Application Loader
Go to Device > delete > SELECT DATA > select to delete both the Social Feeds and Smart Card databases, and follow the remaining prompts to complete it. 
Now, you can return and click to upgrade the device through the Desktop Manager, or reboot the BlackBerry in normal mode and continue the over the air upgrade.
Good luck and let us know!

    I think you'll have to reinstall the OS from your Restore partition.

    Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to  one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
    Thanks again, Sandra2474.

  • Firmware Update for my blackberry 8830 world edition with Bell Canada

    Hi does anyone know if there is firmware update for the Blackberry 8830 world edition with the carrier being Bell Canada?  I am running version 4.2 and I know there is 4.5 but I am not sure if this applies the my phone with Bell Canada. When I boot up my desktop manager and checks for updates and says that there is no update.  I don't want to update if it is not necessary and not be able to run my blackberry.  If I am able to update where would I go to get the 4.5 update?

    You have to repair Desk Manager or unintall and reintall DM, but this time uncheck "Auto update" and anything that refer to "update" the reason why I mention that is because everythime you run DM, it goes online and check for newer version and put this file "vendor.xml" in the Blackberry Common Folder, and with that file in place, it will block the program from installing the newer version from a difference cell company..
    From what I see 4.2 is the only version that is up to date for a 8830...but if you have a 8820, you can update to 4.5. 

  • I was trying to update for macbook book pro. and i restart then it's loading for 4 hours

    i was trying to update for macbook book pro. and i restart then it's loading at the lock screen for 4 hours

    About the only thing you can try is using the Online Internet Recovery system to reinstall Lion on your Mac over the top of the current install. that will reset all system files and should not touch your personal files or the apps you have installed.
    Or iof you have a recent Time Machine backup use that to restore your Mac to that point in time.

  • My daughter had an update for itunes which she did. She said that there was also an update for ipod but it had told her it failed. However, now when she connects USB cord it tells her she must restore. Is she going to lose everything on the device.

    My daughter had an update for itunes which she did. She said that there was also an update for ipod but it had told her it failed. However, now when she connects USB cord it tells her she must restore. I am assuming that it updated to IOS 6. Is she going to lose everything on the device if she goes ahead and restores it? She does not have anything backuped in the cloud as she was not aware that this update would cause this issue.

    If her iPod was backed up, she will lose the data on the iPod, but it could be restored from the backup.

  • I was downloading the update for my ipad and it kicked me off of wifi and won't log back in and the download can't finish with out wifi

    I was downloading the update for my ipad.  The wifi stopped working and when I try to enter my password it says cannot connect.  The download won't finish unless I'm connected to my wifi.  Any suggestions?

    First restart your WiFi router.
    You can also 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.

  • Photoshop CS4 will not read Raw files from Nikon D60. [was: No automatic updates for my PS CS 4  on windows (for reading .Nef files)?]

    Hi
    I have been using PS CS4 for several years.
    Yesterday, I went to PS CS4 help and selected "updates", but I get the message "There are not updates available at this time; Please note that some updates for the following products cannot be determined at this time: Adobe Updater".
    I need the updates because I just purchased a Nikon D60 and my Photoshop does not read the .NEF files produced by the camera.
    any idea, please?
    thanks

    I need the updates because I just purchased a Nikon D60 and my Photoshop does not read the .NEF files produced by the camera.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Do you really mean the Nikon D60 which shipped in 2008? Was it purchased secondhand?
    The Nikon D60 was first supported in Adobe Camera Raw 4.4.
    Photoshop CS4 ships with Camera Raw 5.0 so it can read D60 NEF files out of the box. No updates required.
    If you do mean the D60 then something else must be going on. e.g. are you using Nikon software to transfer files from camera to computer?

    You are in Recovery Mode. Follow the instructions below to recover your iPad.
    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.
    If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    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.

  • 10.2.1 Official Update for the BlackBerry z30

    Hello, First off...I have a BlackBerry z30 which I had to purchase unlocked to run on the T-Mobile netwrk because I really wanted the z30 and T-Mobile is not carrying the z30 online or in retail stoes. Now I am running the 10.2.1.1055 leak and it runs decent but I know at some time T-Mobile will release the OTA official release of 10.2.1 for the z10, but since they do not carry or support the z30, what would be my options for installing the official 10.2.1 version on my phone. I do want to at some point run the official stable version of 10,2.1 on my phone. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • If there ever was a NEW update for iMovie, will iMovie have the ability to burn projects onto a Blu-Ray disc so that customers don't have to pay for additional software like Final Cut Pro or Roxio Toast Titanium/Pro?

    It would be helpful for those who are familier with iMovie to use Blu-Ray discs for burning and playing back their iMovie projects in HD. However, iMovie '11 doesn't have that special feature yet. I hear that 'Final Cut Pro X,' 'Roxio Toast 11 Titanium' and 'Roxio Toast 11 Pro' can copy projects like iMovie onto Blu-Ray, but it would take long periods of time to do that. Professional software, like FCP X and Toast, can be pricey.
    I'm hoping that iMovie '11 will burn projects onto Blu-Ray, but will that ever come true?

    Will iBlu-Ray be an upgrade? OR and update of iDVD?
    If it's an upgrade, then that means you'd still pay for it from the Mac App Store. I wish it would only cost between $20-40.
    If it's a free update of iDVD, but with the new name, that would be better than to go out and pay for things!!!
    However, external Blu-ray recorders would still be required if you were going to burn an iMovie project onto a blu-ray disc.
    Is there a way to put in a request for 'iBlu-Ray?'

  • FF was crashing, reinstalled, same prob, did the reset,won't open, trying to connect to update for hours. What's wrong?

    FF kept crashing so about a week ago I reinstalled. Still kept crashing so in the troubleshooting info I read about "reset". Did that this AM and now have a window entitled Software Update which has been up for several hours. It has a blue and white barber design and says connecting to the update server...
    What is wrong?

    The reboot must have fixed it as everything is working fine now. Thank you very much sudheesh...I appreciate your help.

  • I was doing the update for itunes and now I can't get into iTunes, the box that comes up says iTunes was not installed properly and I should re install it.  I have thousands of songs on iTunes, will I lose all?

    Whatis going on with iTunes. I can't get back on after doing an udate. It says the update failed, but I can't get back in to try again.

    Go into Programs and Features and uninstall:
    iTunes
    Apple Application Support
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Apple Software Update
    Reboot. Download a fresh copy of iTunes. Right click on the exe file and select Run as Administrator.
    I did this and it reinstalled as if nothing happened. All of my songs, podcasts and playlists were still there.
