The iPad is telling you to connect your iPad to iTunes on your computer so do it. You may have to restore the device.

Software Update Frozen

After I run Software Update, it'll find an update, but when I go to click on install or any of the other choices I can't. Everything is frozen. However, I can drag the box around. How do I fix this so I can install updates?

I'm reporting a similar problem - software update seems to get stuck. The fix did not work.
I have a macbook pro 13" 2010, has RAMDISK 256GB, OS 10.6.6. Only owned it 3 weeks, ran several cycles of update without a hitch after migrating from a 3-year old MacbookPro running OS 10.5.8. No problems with Update until today, system wanted to upgrade iMovie 9.0.2 and Brother Printer System (argh!).
As soon as I get the update window, says 2 items to install, the "Install now" button is grayed out, and items inside this window are slow to respond: I click on "Show Details" and (seconds later) the list of software items appears, the check-boxes are unchecked and when I try to check the boxes, there is a 30 to 60 second lag in UI response to the checkboxes or dialog elements. I can move the window, there is no spinning beach ball, other apps respond normally. The system monitor says there is plenty of disk and RAM, the most active CPU thread is Software Update occupying 10% to 20% CPU, no hog processes visible. I tried force-quitting SW Update several times, same deal. I also ran Verify & Fix permissions, and Verify Disk (some permissions were odd, but disk verify was clean).
I did notice that the SW Update dialog (Show Details window) said "Update downloaded" in a status update at the bottom of the window. Hey wait, I never even gave the OK to install all, I just looked at the Show Details window. Seems SW Update is getting ahead of me.
I tried the deletion of the files mentioned as a fix, mentioned above in this thread. Still no change in behavior.
However, I eventually just waited out the lag in UI response and finally got to install the items, successfully (no reboot was needed). I'm also running Little Snitch, but never seen it get in the way of SW update before. Hope the SW Update is not going bad on us.

Software update frozen at 98%

I'm in the middle of doing a software update and (its the latest snow leopard update) and its frozen with like 3 pixles left but its been sitting here for like 1/2 hour... any ideas on what to do?

Let's assume you have a cloned backup:
1. Start from the backup
2. Download the update combo version
3. Open Disk Utility and repair the internal drive
4. Reapply update to the internal drive

I am trying to do the iOS 7 update on my ipad2 and the software update feature isn't there, help?

I have an ipad2 and in order to update to iOS 7 I must be able to go to the software update under setting but the feature is not there. My iTunes is also not recognizing my iPad when I connect it so I am unable to go that route either.

See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

Software update frozen. What's the best course of action?

I have a MacBook Pro that has been stuck installing a software update for about 4 hours. What should I do? The message just says "About a minute"

Shu it down and Restart

IPod Software Update frozen

When I fired up iTunes, I got repeated messages that there was an update to the iPod software. I think it was the OS, and it was either 3.1.2 or 3.2.1 (it's frozen right now, can't check) and is 238.3MB. When it downloaded, it started to update my iPod Touch, but things are frozen at that point. The iPod Touch shows a white apple, with an empty progress bar beneth it. iTunes shows a progress window titled "iPod". It contains the text "Updating iPod software" and a progress bar that shows no progress. There's only a small segment of blue that moves from left the right (never changing width), then starting on the left again.
What can I do? I have very little time before I go on a long trip, and will need this iPod Touch. I'm not sure whether it's because I use iTunes on a nonAdmin account. I didn't think it would affect anything downloaded from iTunes on the web to the iPod.

me too ..it *****
more & more people are experiencing this and what is apple doing about it ? theres no set instructions other than the stupid stuff that everyone already tries i.e rebooting your pc/laptop, lol just paid for an update & i cant even use my itouch at all at the moment, what was the point ?
hope you all manage to get it sorted

RESOLVED - Software Update Frozen - RESOLVED

Hi,
Connected my BB Bold 9900 to my computer and Blackberry Desktop told me to update from 7.0 (Bundle 1465) to 7.0 (2406).
I started the update and it went along fine until it reached "Downloaded Modules 252 of 1415" and it's been stuck there for over an hour.
Any ideas? Don't really ewant to unplug my usb in case it crashes the current OS.
Any help is much appreciated

Go ahead and unplug your USB cord and close down BlackBerry Desktop Software. Connect once again and follow any prompts you are given i.e. updates or problems loading updates, please try again, etc.
Unplugging your phone during an update is not usually recommended however we can help you recover your phone if you encounter a problem, so go ahead and unplug it and start over.
Please post back with your results.
- If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated.

Cannot install iOS 7.1 on ipad2, message "software update available at this time. Please try again later."

Hello,
Can anyone help? I cannot install ioS 7.1 on my ipad2, message displayed "software update is not available at this time. Try again later".
Thanks

An iOS update to version 7.1.1 was just released. The update servers might be too busy at the time you tried to update. ID suggest waiting until later in the day and then try again.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

My Ipad 2 cant find my HP3050A j661b airprint printer although the printer is connected to the same wireless network and software updates are current on all and my other laptops also work properly with this printer.further more it used to work with my IPAD2 before when I used the old wireless router but now I changed it to HAUWEI HG231f but I set everything in the same way it was. Thanks in advance.

When you change to the new router, did you re-run the CD to re-set the new SSID and password to the printer.
Otherwise your iPad will not be able "talk" to your printer.

That's not a good sign, take your iPhone to a premium reseller or to an Apple Store.

iOS 5.1.1 Software Update - just tried to update and it didn't work! Got to the final stages and was presented with error 1602! My screen now has the frozen image of the itunes logo and usb thing. Happened once before - funnily enough when doing an update back in November - I had to visit an Apple store to have the phone restored. Would appreciate any advice as I would like to avoid another trip to the apple store.

found the real problem.
In my laptop where it couldn't detect the iphone and ipad, this folder is missing:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
The ipad was wrongly using a microsoft driver.
I found the correct drivers in:
C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\usbaapl64.inf_amd64_neutral_c111a aecb61e9a2b
Copy the contents to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
After that, I had to update the driver for Ipad in device manager.
Ipad was found under: "Removable Devices", as a storage device.
Once that is fixed, itunes can detect ipad, and I can restore it.
Apple should really look into ensuring that folder doesn't go missing during itunes update process.

I just downloaded a new software update to my ipod touch and now my ipod is frozen with a screen picture of music round blue symbol and an arrow displaying a cable connection. I received a message saying that the download was not successful.

I just downloaded a new software update to my ipod touch and now the ipod and screen are frozen. I received a message that the download was not successful and now my screen is showing the blue round itunes symbol with an arrow pointing to the symbol and shows a cable below it. I have tried the restart of pushing the two buttons together and waiting 10 seconds for the apple symbol which appears and then go backs to the same stuck symbol. My computer is not recognizing the ipod either and will not connect. What needs to be done? Thanks.

Try manually placin the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.
Next try DFU mode and restore

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
