Long backup when trying to upgrade to 3.0

Hi there. I have had my iPhone 3G since about January, and all this time never really have been able to sync it or upgrade to new firmware because of the long backup times.
In addition, I have read the forums before, and they say to just press the X on the backup progress bar. I don't have this, instead, what happens is I get a popup window saying "Backing up Rich (my name)" with the progress bar. I can't use iTunes, because when I click anywhere on the iTunes window I just get a dinging noise with it greyed out, I can only click on the little popup with the progress window.
The only way I can get out of the backup is to slide on my phone the cancel sync slider, pull the USB cable out, or press the Esc button on my PC, but if I do that, it doesn't upgrade my firmware. Please help me! Also, the sync in progress screen is still there, and I can't shut it off, and I am scared of burn in.
Help me please!

still updating, anyone have anything? I can't use itunes cause the backup progress bar is in the form of a popup, there is no x to click on.

IMac shuts down when trying to upgrade from Tiger to Leopard

My iMac, purchased in November of '07, came installed with Tiger but also came with a Leopard OS update disk. When trying to upgrade to Leopard last week, every time I rebooted off the disk the computer would run for a minute in the gray screen and then suddenly shut off with no warning message. I checked HD in disk utilities, repaired my permissions and tried again with the same results. I've got 30 gigs of free space and 4 gigs of RAM which should be plenty. I talked to Apple support who walked me through the installation procedure with the same results and ended up shipping me a new install disk which came today. I am getting the same shut down on reboot with their replacement disk. Apple actually sent me two white disks. The first is labeled "For Mac Computers, Mac OSX Install disc 1" The second is labeled "MacBook, Mac OSX Install Disc 2" Since the second disc is label "MacBook" is it possible they sent me the wrong set of discs?
Thanks

rk87,
Thanks for replying. I have a 500 gig hard drive which yields a 465gig usable capacity, so, at 30 Gigs available, I don't have 10% of the drive free. This may be an issue, but my more immediate problem is that I can't get the install disk to boot up at all.
I called apple support again see what I could find out about the install disks which wouldn't work. The support guy seemed like he had a lot of knowledge about the system and suggested trying the Tiger install disk (that came with the machine) to see if it would boot up, which it did. After that success, I tried the Leopard update disk in another iMac I have at home and it worked as it should. Since the disk worked fine on the other mac, the guy at tech support speculated that there is some sort of hardware issue causing the install shut down on the computer in question.
His speculation was about the memory installed in the machine which might be the issue. I had bought the computer from an Apple Authorized store here in town who upgraded the RAM to 4GIGs using third-party memory. Even though the memory seems to have functioned properly for the past year, apple support says that there could be some sort of incompatibility with the third party product causing the install disk not to work.
Apple support told me about running a memory diagnostic off of the Tiger install disk by rebooting with the disk in the computer and hold down the "D" key. After I got off the phone I ran the test which turned out to take an hour in its long version. The test indicated no problems, but apple had told me that it might not be totally conclusive. At this point, I'm taking the computer back to the store where I bought it and will let them figure it out.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Issue when trying to upgrade FB 4.7 to AIRDSK 3.6

Hi,
I'm desperately trying to upgrade FB 4.7 to AIRSDK 3.6 since 3 weeks.
I've followed the various solutions found on forums and the various processes displayed by the "helpx.adobe.com" pages, but none of them works.
So please, if a member of Adobe Support Team or someone who succeeded to perform the upgrade reads this, I need help and if possible a detailed strp by step process.
Thks in advance for answers.

I think i tried all the available ones, and there are many. Why can't we
have a definitive automatic upgrade solution instead of having to do
such a number of manipulations ?

Error code 23 when trying to upgrade???

Error code 23 when trying to upgrade/ also have lost wi-fi connection. A coindence or related problem?

Hi Dauby51,
You may need to uninstall and reinstall PSE 11, then reapply the updates.
Make sure you don't have any disk cleanup utilities that might be running during and after the install that may be altering any of the files installed or installation paths.
Give this a try and let me know how it goes,
Regards,
Pete

Well I spoke too soon.
The update was successful, but now I cannot connect to the 3GS data network.
Cannot get email and cannot open a page in Safari.
+"Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding."+
+"Cannot Get Mail+
+THe mail server is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings."+
Email and internet work fine on WiFi.........no data using 3GS network.
Looks like I will have to revert back to old OS.

Try popping out the SIM card and turn off the phone.
Pop in the SIM card once again and turn on the phone, make sure that the SIM card is placed and seated perfectly in the tray!
Tell me how did you unlock your phone!?
