My tablet started this new update about 4 hours ago, it said it would take 30 minutes...... in the progress bar it shows its downloading but its never changed from 0%. how pr what do i do? am i supposed to let it run all night?

My tablet has been downloading the new update for over 4 hours now, though the progress bar still shows 0%!!! What do I do???

Reply to myself...... Thank you, thank you, thank you chersgroupie!!!!  Turning the WiFi off worked and the update finished in about 5 minutes on 4G!!! Note: at the start of update my instructions  were: plug in if not full battery and use WiFi!!!!!  Hard to explain to your 3 year old why they can't have their tablet and you've done what you were instructed to do!!! I pay too much a month for this kind of preventable aggravation!!!

  • My Firefox updated about 2 hours ago. Now it crashes everytime I try to open it. Could someone please help me? I am now stuck on IE :(

    My Firefox updated about two hours ago. When I tried to open it after the update, it crashed and so I chose to start a new session. Now it won't open and I get a message saying "Firefox has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to this problem... Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Please help.

    Have you tried closing the iTunes store app via the multitasking bar and seeing if it works when you re-open it
    Have you tried closing the app via the taskbar ? (I assume that your iPad is on iOS 6, though the version that your tagline shows, 6.1.6, is not a version for iPads) From the home screen (i.e. not with iTunes store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iTunes app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I was hoping to speak with an agent as I am having tremendous difficulty signing in to Adobe. I created a new account about an hour ago.

    I am having tremendous difficulty logging in. I just created a new account about an hour ago as I couldn't remember my old e-mail or password. I'm still unable to download the new version of Adobe Flash. Why won't it accept my new password?

    This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
    If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt.  If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
    If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
    If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

    Hey, There are afew things you can try.
    - Simply turn your phone off and back on again
    - Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
    - Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
    this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..
    - Close all open applications
    Hope this helps!

  • I am coming across a probelm when using multipel tabs in FireFox6. If I open a new tab it takes several minutes for the address bar to become clickable to type. how do I fix this?.

    recently upgraded to 6.0.2. Could this be the reason? using windows XP. unable to duplicate issue through other browsers so definitely FireFox related.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I have tried to download Mt. Lion and twice it has failed. The third time the icon appeared and waiting to download, but it never occurred. I have purchased the upgrade but have yet to successfully download it. What is happening?

    I recently purchased the Mt. Lion upgrade and have tried to download the system software but each time, there was a problem. The first was an error message 404, and I had to retry downloading. The second time it downloaded to the halfway point and then stopped. The third time I continued to wait for the downloading process to begin and it never did.

    Try in the Mountain Lion forum...

    ! started to update my system and was told to restart. I did. it has now been about 6 hours and all i see is an apple and a rotating circle. what is happening?

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your 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 your last backup, you can skip this step.   
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.a. Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial. 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.”
    b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    c. 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
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot 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.
    If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Step 3
    Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot 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 your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you boot 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, your boot volume is damaged and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to step 5.
    If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot 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 reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 4
    Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 5
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your 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 reboot as usual.
    Step 6
    Boot into Recovery again. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
    Step 7
    Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a backup.
    Step 8
    A dead logic-board battery in a Mac Pro can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions.
    Step 9
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

    The photos are on the ipod.  Photo sync will erase them.  I need a way to extract them from the ipod, or to.extract them from the ipod backup that is who knows where on my PC.
    I've been searching for an app to do that with no luck.  They all seem to want a newer OS than is on my ipod yet I have the most recent update installed.

  • N8 - How to delete this New Update (microsoft appl...

    I got this new updater for N8 Belle about Microsoft file, it consume 40MB of C: i was just curious that's why i tried to install it but it was useless for me,worst it did install itself in C. how can i delete this? its not listed in  the "already installed" on settings.

    Hi clinxr,
    I assume you have actually installed Microsoft Apps..
    In order to remove Microsoft Apps, you need to follow the same steps as you would removing most of applications.
    From the main menu: Settings > Installations > Already installed > Microsoft Apps (long tap) > Remove
    Please note that the installation of Microsoft Apps would have updated some core components, and as such those cannot be removed. You might therefore notice the amount of free space on the C: drive is not the same as what you started.
    If you want to start from scratch you can either flash your device, or reset it to factory settings which would put your device into shipping conditions. Before doing down this road, I would suggest you back up all your data that you want to keep with Nokia Suite, such as contacts, messages, pictures etc..
    Thanks, Craig

  • HT4623 Do i need to update this new update to my IPhone 3GS?

    Do i need this new update to my IPHONE 3GS? as not enough space - iv deleted all the stuff i no longer need but still short.

    Well, you don't absolutely have to have it ... but ...
    First of all, here's what you would be missing (I assume you're talking about upgrading from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6):
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5457
    Secondly, as additional upgrades become available, you'll fall farther and farther behind.
    Thirdly, as apps are updated, you may lose out on the ability to run them, and you will lose out on added features.
    So, it's not mandatory that you upgrade, but I strongly suggest striving to do so.

  • HT6058 Will this new update slow down my iphone 4 even more than the last update?

    Will this new update slow down my iphone 4 even more than the last update?

    Thats a hard question to answer.  The iPhone 4 has older technology than newer models which can cause the device to lag.  Depending on what data and settings you have on the device, it could run slower.  I would probably make sure to constantly close apps in multitasking and possible think about restoring the device as a new device.  Make sure to backup your data prior to the restore

  • For some reason, I can not delete bookmarks. I did one at a time, then tried 5 or 6 and it worked once then no more. I then tried 1 at a time and it worked once the no more. This is a brand new computer (Win7) and FF just loaded about 3 hours ago.

    # Question
    For some reason, I can not delete bookmarks. I did one at a time, then tried 5 or 6 and it worked once then no more. I then tried 1 at a time and it worked once the no more. Why is this happening? This is a brand new computer (Win7) and FF just loaded about 3 hours ago. Do not know how the bookmarks even got in there. Some were ok, but no order and some that were never bookmarks. Looks like FF tried to import some BM's from the Virtual XP installed, but did not get it any where near right. I need to completely delete all of them and install from a saved .html file.

    Well, I did not see the exact problem that I was having listed in the articles, BUT the problem is solved for now.
    I opened FF and the Bookmarks to Organize again. I deleted all of the folders and entries, ONE AT A TIME, AND IT WORKED. Evidently, for what ever reason, FF did not like "Batch" deletes of ANY amount greater than 1 and the HANG UP would occur.
    Deleting one at a time then importing the good .html from a good file, loaded the wanted Bookmarks. Yea

  • This new update for the iphone has me troubled. Nowhere did I see where it was only good for 3GS,4S and or 5. Is this update also good for the 3GS? I'm reading people are haing trouble.

    This new update for the iPhone has me troubled. Nowhere did I see where it was only good for 3GS,4S and or 5 or all. Is this update also good for the 3GS? I'm reading people are having trouble.

    iOS 6 can be loaded without problem on the 3GS.  Not all features are supported however.
    With respect to your reading people are having trouble, what did you expect to see on this technical support forum?  People don't write in to state they have a trouble-free upgrade.

    Preparing your iPhone for restore its supposed to be about 1-2 minutes! Do you see any errors the time you plug in the wire from your iPhone to iTunes?
