Lumia 720: Been installing update for the past two...

Hi
My Lumia 720 yesterday warned me that there isn't enough storage in the device, and I needed to free up or create some space. Even suggested I allow some item to be saved to the memory card by default. I chose to postpone the task , thnking I could sort the space issue out at a later time.
Shortly after that the phone reported that updates were ready to be installed, which I chose to do immediately (without first ensuring there was enough space in the device for updates).
My question now is, is it normal the phone has been unusable and seemingly updating (black screen alternates with rotating wheels display) since yesterday morning (18 hours now)? or should I be worried that there may be some sort of freeze or software/hardware failure? Please help.

18hrs would not be uheard of in extreme cases. Leave it for another while and see if it resolves itself. When you can no longer wait, I suggest you leave the the battery goes flat and the phone shuts itself down. Then plug in the charger and cross all finger and toes. Many users have reported the phone starting again.

I have not been able to sync my mail with iCloud on my MacBookPro (Lion OS). Everything else has been syncing fine for the past two months, but when I go to System Pref/iCloud/and try to check Mail, it asks me to choose an iCloud email address. When I put in my regular @me.com email, it says that address already exists (of course it does - it's mine!) and wants me to choose another one. But I want it to sync with my stuff. What can I do? I haven't been able to find help anywhere online... Thanks!

You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

I have had the same "CSXS Infrastructure 4.0.2" update for the past two weeks

Every day for the past two weeks when I have come into work creative cloud tells me I need to download the new updates. The update always is the same thing, "CSXS Infastructure 4.0.2"
Is this happening for everyone and it is a consistent ongoing update or is it downloading it but not actually updating the creative cloud?

For future viewers facing difficulty applying the CSXS Infratstructure 4.0.2 update please see Adobe CSXS Infrastructure 4 fails to install with U44M1P7 or U44M2P7 error - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/csxs-infrastructure-fails-u44m1p7.html.

ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working. When I pulled the icon from the desktop, it then disappeared from the computer.I have been using it from the desktop for the past two years, without trouble. It has uninstalled itself, without my intervention and has eradicated all traces of it, including all my entries from the computer memory. There is no program in the applications list. Can you say why this may have happened please?

I opened one of the .calendar folders. There was a folder named Events which had either one or some files ending .ics. I opened several of these, which put up a dialogue window showing some parameters with data strings attached as follows :-

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If your Mac has been installing software updates for a long time, Software Update is probably frozen. Hold the Power button until your MacBook Air turns off, and turn it on again. OS X should start up.

Have you tried restarting the printer? Reboot the iPad as well.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

There has been no signal in Springdale, UT for hours today. there is no way to contact Verizon (Calling or Web Chat). Service has been deteriorating for the past two years in the area. Worse fact is no one at the company seems to care. Right now the immediate issue is no service. I cannot do business this way.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse
