ITouch Malfunction While Updating Firmware

I was in the process of updating the firmware in a 16GB ITouch I just purchased. Up to that point everything seemed to be going well. The iTouch was working. Somehow during the firmware update I get a message on the computer indicating a device had malfunctioned and the iTouch went blank. The iTouch will not even turn on now. Any suggestions? I would hate to get a replacement and have the same thing happen. Thanks in advance.

80GB Classic gone black while updating firmware

Hopefully someone can help, while upgrading my 80GB Classic, the iPod completely stopped functioning. iTunes will not recognize the iPod and it will not turn on at all. I have tried and tried to reset it but to no avail.
Is there a fix or do I have to bring it in to Apple?

This same thing happened to my iPod Classic after the most recent firmware upgrade. Took it to the Apple Store, and was told that the updates were causing the iPods' battery to drain completely.
Apple Store plugged the iPod into a wall charger for about 30 minutes, and it came back, and has been fine since. They told me that plugging the iPod in to a USB port does not provide enough current to bring the iPod back to life, and that they only way to correct it was to plug it into the wall charger (not provided with iPod, of course).

I am REALLY REALLY REALLY pissed if someone can help i will be really gratefull i am super desprate.

Hey there and welcome to the forums!
How, exactly, did you conduct the update? Under some methods, it provides the opportunity to do a backup before the update...
If you updated on a PC using the RIM desktop software, this would have been offered to you. If you did not cancel it (I've no idea what "step 9" is), then that backup would have produced a file with an ipd extension...search your entire hard drive for *.ipd. Inspect the results (date/time of the files mainly) and choose the appropraite one. Then, use the RIM software to restore:
KB10339 How to restore data from a backup file to the BlackBerry smartphone
If, on the other hand, you did not use a method of updating that conducted a backup and/or you canceled the backup step (if it was step 9, for instance), then I am sorry for your loss and you have some work ahead of you.
Good luck and let us know!

While updating iphone software to 5.0.1, I am getting error message that Iphone cound not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

While updating iphone software to 5.0.1, I am getting error that Iphone could not be updated because the firmware file not compatible.
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

Using iTunes 10.5.2.11 on a PC running 64 bit Windows 7
First did a full back up of iphone using iTunes
Put iphone into Recovery Mode ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 ). Erases all user data and settings!
Disconnected USB cable from iphone
Powered off iphone by holding down Sleep/Off button until slider appeared, slid to off, waited until screen dark
Pressed and kept holding Home button while plugging cable back into phone
I still saw the graphic on the iphone that said to plug into iTunes, so I unplugged and re-plugged cable. (I may have released the Home button too soon)
Recovery Mode alert came up in iTunes.
Followed all iTunes prompts to restore phone - it downloaded and sucessfully installed iOS 5.0.1
iphone did not appear in iTunes due to missing pairing file (that made me nervous)
iphone was now at factory settings. I followed prompts on iphone screen to start reactivation process
Eventually the iphone asked if I wanted to restore from a back-up (whew!)
A window opened in iTunes and I was able to select my previous back-up file for the restore
A full restore from back-up then occured
I also allowed a carrier settings update to occur when prompted (not sure that happens in all cases)
When the restore was done I had to re-enter some passwords, but everything was there
iOS is now 5.0.1 (9A406). The whole process took about an hour.

I am getting error (-1) while updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1. The phone has gone into a recovery mode. Restore fails every time at "restoring the firmware" stage. Striped bar remains for a long time, then shows "error (-1)" and the restore fails. Help!

Thanks for your reply Michalo. I am in India and here Apple care does not work on Sundays. I have been without my phone for the entire day. Perhaps tomorrow will bring some respite. There is not solution to "error (-1)" on any forum it seems. I found one forum which suggested use of Tiny Umbrella. Any idea about that?

Itouch froze on "connect to itunes" screen while updating

Itouch froze on "connect to itunes" screen while updating from 5 to 5.01, what to do???

It happen to me several times, I just simply wait until it is out of battery and connect it to my itunes and it will show up in my computer. if the problem cannot be solved in this way, you can connect it to computer after several days of running out of battery and it may work. I know it is a little bit stupid idea,but it did work on my itouch

You can try putting the iPhone into DFU mode and see if that will let you restore and remove the jailbreak:
http://osxdaily.com/2010/06/24/iphone-dfu-mode-explained-and-how-to-enter-dfu-mo de-on-your-iphone/
Some jailbreaks cannot be removed and in some cases will permanently disable your iPhone. If that happens to you, then you will have to buy a new iPhone; Apple will provide no support, warranty or out-of-warranty, for a jailbroken iPhone.
You're on your own from here. We can provide no further help with a jailbroken iPhone in these forums.
Good luck.

While updating the firmware Update, i disrubted the download and now my macbook won't start up! Any suggestions on how to fix it? i only see a black screen

While updating the firmware Update, i disrubted the download and now my macbook won't start up! Any suggestions on how to fix it? i only see a black screen and when i press the power button i hear the noise that it would make if it was going to start up. But i only see black.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Mac mini has hung while updation of OS to Yosemite. Help!

While updating to new yosemite OS my Mac Mini has blanked out. The start screen shows progress till about half and then stops midway. Please help.

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Kernel panics after updating firmware

Kernel panics began at startup after updating firmware about 2 weeks ago. Went through the KP repair routines prescribed by thexlab.com. Found no problems with the hard drive, permissions, etc. Did erase and install (with Leopard OS dvd bought from best buy) after archiving files to external HD and was able to startup normally. Updated OS to 10.5.7, along with several other items (iTunes was one of them). Put previously copied files (mostly iTunes). The computer ran successfully for a few days and then started getting KP's at startup again. Did another erase and install. Had success. Loaded iLife and Office 08 to have something to try to test the machine with. Shut down the computer and restarted successfully. I had forgotten I had not tested the RAM so downloaded Memtest. Tried to run it but the computer froze half way through the test. Did a hard shutdown, then tried to restart normally and got the KP again at startup. Here is the panic log:

Was able to start up in safe mode and ran memtest again, this time having success and finding no RAM problems from the single run of Memtest. Shut down and restarted successfully.
Turned the computer off for the night and just restarted it successfully about 24 hours later, and it is still running.
I presently have about 130GB of free space on my HD. I don't have any peripherals attached. The computer gets fairly warm at times but certainly not excessively.
Can anyone decipher my KP log and see if there is a fixable problem?

"An error occurred while updating the configuration"

I recieved an Apple Airport Base Station in the mail today. I got it second hand, and I performed a hard-reset since I didn't have the password and stuff. I wanted to update it properly before I started using it.
I have followed the guides in here point by point, but all I get when I am trying to connect with the AirPort Admin Utility is the error in the topic: "An error occurred while updating configuration".
I've been surfing and googling for hours now, and can't seem to find the solution to this.
The Base Station has a model no. M8440, and that's all I know about it. First I thought it was the Snow, then the Graphite and now I don't know. The reason I get confused is because I've read about all these different colored lights.
Here's a description of my Base Station - in case someone recognized it, and can help me identify it:
- It's one of those "UFO's"
- It's all white, with a silver Apple-logo
- It's got three ports: Modem, WAN and LAN
- It's got three lights - ALL WHITE all the time.
I've tried to download firmware - the last I tried was called AirPortFW4.0.9.img - but when I try to run it by clicking it I get the error "The destination folder "AirPort whatever firmware whatever" is on a locked volume.
My computer is a 2,0 HGz MacBook Pro, and int the AirPort Admin Utility the Base Station is said to be V4.0 dev with IP 192.42.249.13 - so it seems to be hard-resat all right...
Please folks...help me out!

I've also encountered the same problem with an older dual ethernet airport.
I first started having problems with the original one about 8 months ago, and after spending a ridiculous three hours on the phone with AppleCare they sent me out a refurbished replacement. That one worked fine for about 5 months, but then started dropping the signal again, before becoming "unfindable". I went through the same processes, (soft reset, then hard reset etc.) which sometimes solved the problem. I eventually I took it to an Apple Store and of course, it worked fine once I got there. Strange thing is, I took it home and it continued working without incident...for a month. When it happened again, I decided to forgo all the the diagnostic work and just take it back to the store. Sure enough, it fixed itself again, then broke again a few weeks later (now).
Unfortunately, I just had knee surgery and can't get down there now, (which was getting ridiculous anyway), so I went through everything again for the first time on the MBP. I ended up getting the "An error occurred while updating the configuration" message, and after reading this thread started up the old TiBook. The reconfig worked on there, but it still isn't visible on either computer. In fact, it then becomes inaccesible even through LAN on the TiBook through either the AirPort Admin or the dropdown, though it did appear on the MBP via AirPort Admin. However, it says the software on the airport cannot be uploaded or changed due to out of date software on my computer, and suggests I go to apple.com/support to update my computer's software, which is already current. It does however say that I may be able to change the settings and so forth, which I was able to do. Unfortunately, it still does not show up anywhere else on either computer, no matter how much I tinker with the settings.
Any ideas? I suppose I'll just stick with built-in ethernet till I am mobile again.
