Installation of update has stuffed up my I pad mini

I have just updated my Ipad mini the latest version (so I am told) but it has stopped my I pad from working and it says that I have to restore it back to factory settings etc. and will lose my data as I dont know whether I have fully back up my photos which I dont wont to lose what do I do??????????????????

You've been provided the resources to provide all the troubleshooting that Apple recommends.  You can easily google how to put your phone in recovery mode or DFU mode to restore.  If you're unwilling or unable to do this, then bring your phone into Apple.
The users here have better things to do with their time than to bring you step by step through a procedure that is clearly documented elsewhere.

  • HT6150 Software update 10.9.2 installations last minute has taken now for 45 minutes

    Software update 10.9.2 installations last minute has taken now for 45 minutes.
    Anybody having  same trouble?

    I just had this happen to me too – hung on "Completing Installation" for over an hour on the 10.9.2 update. Got confidence from this thread to restart (and things also seem fine for me), but I've had bad experiences doing that with similar system updates, so it certainly makes me more wary of applying Mac OS updates than I should need to be. I definitely expect more of Apple.

  • Today's update has hung at completing installation ... Less than a min remaining

    The blue bar is almost full and shimmering wit a about 1/32" space un filled at the right hand end.
    It has sat there for about 10 min now
    Before I force a power shut down and reboot is there anything I can try?

    Yes that's what I did I was just coming back here to report that a reboot fixed it and found your post. Thanks.
    and it seems ok though it sat at the white screen with the grey apple logo for about ten times as long as it did for a normal boot I can hear time machine backing up the now updated OS
    I sure wish there was a way to get this old pro to take more that the 4 gig of ram it came with. I bet that the small ram space has something to do with the OS updates hanging at the end this way.

  • Recent Windows 7 Update has killed windows

    Help, I run Windows 7 in Bootcamp, recent windows 7 update has killed windows, this is what happens.
    Choose to boot to windows - OK
    Hit logon screen - OK
    Logon - OK
    Windows loads, the desktop shows for about 5 seconds and then the screen goes blank.
    The computer is still ON but the screen is blank.
    I can boot into safemode OK, but can't run the bootcamp update (that I downloaded from here) in safemode.
    I tried a restore point, but the ones before the update create an error, so thats a no go.
    My thoughts are that it is a video driver issue, but that doesn't explain how it gets passed logon working OK.
    I don't know how to fix this if the only way to update drivers is via an .exe vs the driver files themselves like windows usually likes.

    You could try this advice from the Windows side.
    Startup Repair is a good place to start if your system starts acting up. If you can’t get the Advanced Boot Options screen by hitting F8, you can also access the tools by booting from a System Recovery Disc, or the Windows installation disc. While System Repair might not be able to recover your system in all situations, it’s a great starting point before getting into more detailed recoveries like Restoring from an image or clean install.

  • Windows 8.1 update has been stuck in "Preparing to install" mode for 3 days now and I cannot stop it

    My Windows 8.1 update has been showing "Preparing to install..." for 3 days now. When I click "Stop installation" it says I need to provide administrator permission and doesn't have any way for me to provide this. My account is the administrator
    account for my laptop.
    I have already seen a similar thread that said to open a command prompt with admin privileges and type "slmgr -skms", but the solution did NOT work. Basically, it said the usage was incorrect and popped up 5 windows of information that I didn't
    know how to interpret (yes, I tried to provide the options it wanted, but they were incorrect).
    Any advice would be appreciated!

    Ah! This did the trick! Thanks!
    In case anyone else has this problem, on Windows 8.1 I had to open up the Control Panel, then type "troubleshooter" in the search box. I clicked "Troubleshooting" and then found "Fix problems with Windows Update" under the System and Security section.

  • 10.6.8 update has broken quicktime 7 codecs

    Hi there
    It seems that the 10.6.8 update has broken the codecs that quicktime 7 uses.
    We have users here that need to use quicktime 7 pro to export movs etc, and since the update, they cannot play (so far that we have found) movs that are using the photo-jpeg decompressor.
    We're using the version from the optional installs package form the dvd.
    We've been able to work around this by copying (from a 10.6.7 install) the following folders, over the top of the 10.6.8 image.
    /System/Library/QuickTime
    /System/Library/QuickTimaJava
    /System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework
    /Library/QuickTime
    While ive tried to single out which files are affected, it seems copying one of these folders at a time hasnt fixed the problem. Only when (at least) all the /System folders are copied over, then we can start playing the movs that have the broken codecs.
    Is this something Apple is aware of? Is there an word of a fix for this? I also hear that optical audio is broken as part of the update - which the solution has been to recopy the kext file back from an older system.
    10.6.7 was a show stopper for us - because of the NFS permission problems.. (but QT7 worked)
    and now 10.6.8 is a show stopper for us, because QT7 is now broken, but the NFS problems are resolved.
    I dont want to have to rebuild our workstations back to 10.6.6 as we had other issues that was fixed with 10.6.7..
    Any ideas anyone? Apple dev's?
    Cheers

    i think ive narrowed it down to a single file...
    On my 10.6.8 laptop - with the stock QT files... the affected movs wouldnt play...
    I copy this file from a 10.6.7 machine...
    /System/Library/QuickTime/QuickTimeComponents.component/Contents/MacOS/QuickTime Components
    And i can play the files again...

  • Released Version: NI 5640R Installer; Please update

    Released Version: NI 5640R Installer; Please update!
    The software for the NI PCI-54640R IF-RIO is now released.  Before asking about any issues in programming the NI 5640R, please upgrade to the released version.  This will also make it easier to look at example code if there is an issue.
    Please download the new installer file (“ni-5640r100rc1.zip”) from the following location:
    http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/199D73629DD50CDB86257116005160B6?opendocument&node=13206...
    1. Remove your NI 5640R modules from the computer.
    2. Un-install the version of NI 5640R currently on the computer.
    3. At this time, it is recommended to un-install pre-release versions of LabVIEW 8.0, LabVIEW FPGA 8.0, and NI-RIO 2.0 and re-install the released versions.
    4. Install the released version of the NI 5640R software.
    5. Re-install the NI 5640R module.
    Note:  This new version of the driver handles the NI 5640R VIs differently from previous versions.  Previous to version B5, different projects would use common NI 5640R VIs that were saved in the LabVIEW/instr.lib directory.  This method prevents multiple projects from being open due to the Bind to Typedef option on the FPGA Target VI.
    The new method saves copies of all NI 5640R VIs to a directory in the project.  This allows different projects, with different typedefs to use the same VIs at the same time.
    This will result in projects saved in the previous method from not finding the NI 5640R VIs.  The easiest method to convert to the new method is to resave the NI 5640R Template example directory, and copy the changes from the previous VIs to the new VI.  Ensure that you use the NI 5640R VIs that are part of the new project.

    A new version of NI-RIO for Real-Time OS/Windows 2000/XP has released.
    If installing the ni5640r software for the first time, please install NI-RIO Version 2.1 before installing the ni5640r software.
    If you are re-installing the ni5640r software and you have NI-RIO 2.0 installed, please uninstall both the ni5640r software and NI-RIO version 2.0.  Then install NI-RIO version 2.1, followed by the ni5640r software version 1.0.
    Note: Updating NI-RIO from version 2.0 to 2.1 is a recommendation, it is not required.  If you are already reinstalling the ni5640r software, it is a good time to keep up to date with the latest released drivers.
    The current version of the NI-RIO driver (2.1) can be downloaded from this location:
    http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/8FBECA88CF87D34F862571C600566283?opendocument&node=13206...

  • Adobe acrobat updater has not been able to check for updates recently. Check online to see if soluti

    Try to download the updates manually from the Adobe website. I believe you need something like Acrobat 9.2.x for full Windows 7 compatibility.

  • Keep getting ".kext" errors during software installation or updates

    This has been going on for a while now, though presently I am finally getting a pattern in terms of incedent times. Previosly, I was getting ".kext" error messages all the time. Then I tried re-installing Snow Leopard and that redueced the number of incedents. Now with Lion, they only happen with Software installation or updates. The messages usually start appearing when the instalation process gets to "moving components into place" or something like that. So, that leads me to think they are related to some some components. Usually the message reads something like "
    /System/Library/Extensions/LogitechQuickCam.kext"  has not been installed properly. Please reinstall it or contact the vendor for assisstance." That is usually the first alert to appear and when I click Okay, another appears in its place but with a different .kext file named. Here are the .kext files named listed in usual order of appearence:
    /System/Library/Extensions/LogitechQuickCam.kext
    /System/Library/Extensions/NovatelWireless3G.kext
    /System/Library/Extensions/NovatelWireless3G.kext/Contents/Plugins/NovatelWirele ss3GData.kext
    /System/Library/Extensions/NovatelWirelessFilter.kext
    /System/Library/Extensions/PTUMWDrv.kext
    /System/Library/Extensions/PTUMWDrv.kext/Contents/Plugins/PTUMWCDFree.kext
    /System/Library/Extensions/PTUMWDrv.kext/Contents/Plugins/PTUMWCSP.kext
    /System/Library/Extensions/PTUMWDrv.kext/Contents/Plugins/PTUMWDIAG.kext
    /System/Library/Extensions/PTUMWDrv.kext/Contents/Plugins/PTUMWMdmControl.kext
    /System/Library/Extensions/PTUMWDrv.kext/Contents/Plugins/PTUMWMdmData.kext

    /System/Library/Extensions/SierraSwitch.kext

    /System/Library/Extensions/SMSIWirelessModem.kext
    /System/Library/Extensions/SMSIWirelessModem.kextt/Contents/Plugins/SMSIWireless CDC.kext
    /System/Library/Extensions/SMSIWirelessModem.kextt/Contents/Plugins/SMSIWireless Serial.kext
    I recognize the first one becuase I did have a Logitech QuickCam once, though it didn't last. The ones that have RIMBB probably refer to the Blackberry I used to have. At one point I did use it as a modem for my Mac. I don't recognize the other ones.
    Is there anything I can do to stop getting these alert messages? Any ideas? Thank you!

    A kext is a kernel extension (usually drivers) that affects the OS kernel at the lowest possible level. This is one of the things Apple wanted to limit as much as possible with the new MacOS architecture since extensions were one of the sources of fragility in OS 9 and lower. It may be as simple as finding the programs that installed these files and using the uninstaller that should exist. (Or not) You might try drilling down into the Extensions folder and removing those files by hand but the problem is there might be other things that were installed when these files were which will continue to cause trouble.

  • Software Update has broken my system

    Software Update has broken my system so that I can no longer restart or shutdown normally. All attempts to restart or shutdown hang the system with a grey screen and a Software Update menu on the menu bar. The menus can be pulled down, but the menu items, like "restart", are not functional. I have to use the control/command/power keys to force a restart, and then command-R after the chime to get to a screen where I can shutdown.
    I have just done a complete reinstall of the operating system (10.7.5), with no change in this behavior. I have also tried to do a manual installation of the latest security update, but after hitting the restart button, the same Software Update screen appears whether I have actually used Software Update or not. How do I go about nudging my system out of this behavior?

    The startup disk may need repairing.
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click:  Verify Disk
    If repairs are necessary, restart while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access ML recovery / Disk Utility. OS X: About OS X Recovery
    If the startup disk does not need repairing, start up in Safe Mode
    Keep in mind a Safe Mode boot takes longer than a normal boot so be patient. When you're in Safe Mode you should see Safe Mode in red top right side of the desktop.
    From there click the Apple menu icon top left in the screen. Select Restart from the drop down menu.

  • Installs for updates occuring automatically?

    Hi all,
    I recently used Active Directory group policy to set JRE 5.0 Update 9 as a managed application. This was mandated by one of our vendors to fix a problem with their application.
    The JRE update has been installing on users' workstations on boot, with no issues. However, in at least two cases I know of, a second, interactive installation started after the user logged in. In one case, it was JRE 5.0 Update 3, and in another JRE 5.0 Update 4. Checking the Java control panel, it is not set to auto-update.
    Does anyone have any idea why this would happen? Is there some prerequesite that is requiring these other versions be installed?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    - Steve

    Apple will let you know when an update is available. You'll see a red badge icon on the App Store icon in your Dock.

  • Determine which security patch or Critical patch update has been applied

    Hi,
    Anyone know how to determine which security patch or Critical patch update has been applied to the database? For Unix and also Win 2000k database server..
    Thank You

    Use the lsinventory command of opatch (Oracle's patch
    installation tool) to list the patches installed.
    If you have Perl and opatch installed, this is simply
    a matter of typing:

    from the command line.

  • 10.4.5 update has trashed Safari

    Since running the update, Safari has become unstable.
    I have had a zillion unexpected quits today and it all started when I ran the updater. This always happens when attempting to play flash video content within an html page (such as in the cnet.com page I was just at) but it has happened in other random ways too.
    Hare's an extract from the last crash report:

    I am not using any unusual configurations and I have repared permissions. Next I will see if flash needs updating. Does anybody have any advice or is anybody in Apple listening???
    Please don't just tell me not to use System Update in the future. I am naiive enough to belive that if Apple put it in the OS and it says Update Now then it should be okay to do that and I like to assume that software has been properly tested before it is inflicted on us. At least that is what I would do if I ran a computer mutinational.
    Like I said, call me naiive...

    I think I have cracked it. And it kind of involves eating Humble Pie.
    The short answer is that Safari Enhancer had set Safari to report to websites as Internet Explorer 6 for Windows - and as soon as I set that back to Safari my problems ceased.
    I really thought I had set everything back to default before deciding it was a Safari problem but evidently I had not. I suggest anybody having this problem check whether they have anything similar.
    The longer story is that I realised from the crash report that flash content was always associated with the crashes. I thought maybe I should update flash but when I went to the macromdia site all I could see was Windows software, like it thought I was running a Windows machine... and then it clicked.
    I have no idea if or why I set Safari to report as IE (maybe to get round some badly coded sites?) or whether the update did this to Safari Enhancer itself... or possibly why the update has rendered this feature of Safari Enhancer a liability. All I know is that all is well with my world and I am suitably chastened.
    If, on the other hand, you don't have anything like Safari Enhancer installed in the first place you may still be stuffed. Perhaps you need to download Safari Enhancer to sort this out...

    I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version.  Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5 (could play them), the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them.  They are still listed in the iTunes library.  When I look in the Summary for the iPhone, it shows Audio as only .16 GB - I have over 5 GB of songs, so what gives?
    P.S. When I look at my Playlists most of the songs are greyed out.  However, at the bottom of the list there is a cloud icon with a downward facing arrow.  When I click on it each song starts to "load" and after a few minutes I have the songs back on in the list.  I have to do this to all my playlists (I had over 100) in order to get access to all my songs.  Then I did a sync and it happened again!
    I use iCloud for documents and some other things (calendar, contact, etc.) but am not aware that I have anything music-wise in the cloud.  Any thougnts?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.
