My Apple TV froze up while updating the software. What should I do?

You can't do much else besides pull the plug. If it causes further problems you should be able to restore as below:
Get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
On the other hand you may be able to simply start the update again. If however the update continues to fail, you should try the restore routine above.

Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

ITunes freezes on backing up iPad while updating the software to ios 8.

iTunes freezes on backing up iPad while updating the software to ios 8. Please help asap

Hi tac.sharma,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know circumstances that keep you from updating your iPad can be frustrating. In this situation I would make sure your iPad is backed up to the iCloud, just to make sure your information is safe. After you have that backup, I would suggest following the steps in the attached article to help you through this update process with iTunes.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Best regards,
Joe

Your screen is probably broken in that area and the "ink spot" you think you see is LCD liquid on the inside of the panel that's leaked and spread out.

What should I do if my iPad disconnects from my wifi while updating the software?

I decided to update my iPad to 7.1.2 early in the morning. While updating, my wifi router decided to disconnect, as a result, my iPad had to disconnect as well! Now my iPad is just frozen and load anymore!
Someone help ASAP!!!
MY iPad 2 was updating from iOS 7.1.1 to IOS 7.1.2.

Try a Reset in the first instance. With iPad switched on hold down both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears. You may also find the following useful: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

On my macbook pro the Software Update appeared, then it asked me to update some software what should I do?

On my mac the Software Update appeared, then it asked me to update some software,when I clicked Install all or update all, it said that it will restart and it told me not to turn it off, then when the screen appears, it is too slow, I can't "barely" move the mouse, and I saw that It is downloading something.. but really slow.. what should I do, Do I need to turn it off?

Never turn off your Mac while it is downloading, installing or updating software.
Just let Software Update do its thing.

I lost My Data from Plam Desktop application while updating the software Plzz HELP

Hello
I Lost all my Data that was in Palm Desktop applicaton on my PC. I no Longer have my Palm device BUT data was in desktop application. Today I tried to upgrade my Palm Desktop version from 4.2 to 6 and I lost all my files is there a way to recover them.
Thanks,
Sat
Post relates to: Palm V

You can recover the data from your user folder provided you have only sync'ed once with the PC when you discovered the data missing. When you sync to the PC there are files created for each PIM category in your user folder. For Example; datebook.dat or datebook (Depending on the version of Palm Desktop) and datebook.bak. Using 6.2 the file names are .mdb and mdb.bak. For 6.2, the files are located in the username folder in PalmOSdesktop in my documents.
The files are named .dat and .bak. When you sync, the current data is stored in .dat. The next time you sync the data in the .dat file is copied to the .bak file. You can rename the .dat to .old. then rename the .bak to .dat. If the data in the .bak file is intact, it will now be in palm desktop when you reopen Palm desktop. I have included a link to show you how to find the userfolder on the PC.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=26674
Here is another link regarding data loss;
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=39503
The best way to backup your data is to use the export feature in Palm Desktop. Make a new folder on the PC desktop named Palm Desktop Backup data. Next, select the category you want to export. You will get a window that asks where you want to save the file, save in the folder created on the desktop. There is a button that allows you to select currently selected record or all, select all. If you don't select all, then only the record highlighted is exported. You will then need to name the file for export, I suggest the name of the category, eg: datebook (With current date). Do this for all critical data in each category. With the data exported to the folder on the PC desktop, you can save this data to a flash drive, external hard drive or a CD-RW. With this method you will have your data in a seperate place than Palm desktop and the device. If you "Lose" data again, you can import the data back into palm desktop.
Make sure that when you make changes in palm desktop or the device to export the data to the folder created for the backup.
Here is a link for other options for backing up your data;
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28751
If you can find your missing files, you will need to install the version of PD you previously had installed and paste the files in that version. Any palm files previous to 6.2 will not work in 6.2. The files in 6.2 are in a different file format.
One caveat here, since you do not sync a device, the files are not rotated as they would be during the sync process. The only option you may have avail. is the data in the .dat files.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.

I have a macbook white with osx 10.6.8 and the software update wont work anymore for upgrading the software ,what should i do?

some of the apps that i just downloaded are not compatible with my software and when I tried to upgrade to mavericks from the app store, in my download list it wont download. Before ive tried download it, it worked, but i paused it, so when i tried again, nothings changed
Please help, should i download mac os x 10.7? and where?
thank you

Software Update won't take you beyond 10.6.8 which is the highest incremental update for Snow Leopard. The fact that it won't let you upgrade to Mavericks suggests that your Mac is not compatible.
You should start by checking that your Mac can handle Lion, for which the requirements are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
The original early 2006 MacBooks have only a Core Duo processor and so are not compatible, but the models from late 2006 on have a Core 2 Duo and so should be.
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). You will get a code which you can use to download it from the Mac App Store.
