Nano has been updating for eight hours and counting...

I started to update my Nano over eight hours ago and it's still not done...it's the latest update and I figured I'd better do it. The first time I tried to update it, I got an 'unknown error' message, then tried again. Is the update just not working and if so, would it be bad to disconnect the iPod if it never finishes updating? iTunes does not display the iPod under 'Devices'. This is the first time I've tried to update my iPod. It doesn't normally take this long to update, right?

hi
i had the same problem with my nano i think it is something to do with the actual update and not the nano's. what i did to make it stop was when you plug your ipod in the computer when the update flashes up dont accept. add music and artwork or whatever you need to put on the ipod and then click on devices where the ipod should be and on the front page click update and after a minute or two mine updated and worked. maybe a lucky coqincisdence but if it dont work just keep on trying.
hope it works

    My iPhone 4 has been dead for 24 hours and I've been charging it for 12 hours and it still won't turn on. I have tried holding the lock button and home button down, even connected it to computer but nothing's happening, it randomly died on me.

    Hi Lauren,
    When troubleshooting power issues, we want to make sure we have followed all steps outlined in the following article:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    - Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    - Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    - Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    - After at least 15 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    - If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    - Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
    restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    - If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • My FireFox for Win 8.1 has been updating for 2.5 HOURS. Why is it taking so long.?

    After my win 8.1 laptop came out of sleep mode, Fire Fox told me it was running (where and how I do not know) and I could not access it unless I restarted. I shut down and restarted. FireFox asked me to "update" firefox. It has been updating for 3 HOURS. What is going on???

  • My 3G has been discharging for an hour.

    While I was on my way home my battery died and the discharging screen (the black screen with the spinning white bars) has been showing for an hour and when I connect the phone to my computer to charge it I'm getting error 0xE8000065. I have no clue what to do, no clue what to search for. Anyone have this problem before or know how to fix it?

    Welcome to the discussions,
    can you charge your phone using the adapter? If so, make sure to charge it for at least 10 min. before you connect again to your computer, if needed in recovery mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

    Read this: iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later

  • The latest update has been running for 16 hours. Is that normal.

    The small window has been showing for 16 hours. It says downloading the update, and connecting to the server and it has the bar running across. How don I know when it is complete.

    Not normal. You probably got a bad connection, but the update is not what you want. You are so far behind at Firefox 3.6.10 that even if the update worked you would still probably have to do more updates. With Mac OS X 10.4 you cannot go to Firefox 4.0, but you will want to go to the latest 3.6 version which is 3.6.17
    Start at http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older.html ''(those with current systems can upgrade to 4.0.1 at http://www.mozilla.com for 4.0.1)''. At the completion of the download don't let the setup start Firefox for you, when the setup ends, start Firefox in your normal manner this way you will be less likely to create a new profile.
    The extra startup pages are temporary -- read them. The next time Firefox comes up you should be back to starting with your normal home page.
    Note: Firefox must be down once the install starts.
    Close Firefox with File>Exit. Then make sure Firefox is not running --
    On Windows: check the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.
    On Mac: Firefox > Quit then Command+option+Esc, if Firefox running use Force quit
    Permission errors on Mac:
    If you were getting permission errors on a Mac, download the latest
    Firefox version (for your system), then uninstall and reinstall Firefox. Do not remove your profile directories and files as they contain your settings,
    bookmarks, history, extensions, passwords, and cookies.

  • I performed a software update and the system is installing an update but it has been running for over 24hrs and keeps saying "This may take a few minutes, don't shut down your computer" Can anyone help?

    Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
    This happens the same whenever I try to install.
    To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
    My plugin is still showing as out of date.
    Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

  • I rented a Movie and it has been loading for 3 hours now. Internet connection is fine. Have never had a problem with this before. What's really annoying is that the 24 hour time limit is counting down even though we cant watch it. Any suggestion"hours now

    I rented a Movie and it has been loading for 3 hours now. Internet connection is fine. Have never had a problem with this before. What's really annoying is that the 24 hour time limit is counting down even though we cant watch it. Any suggestions?

    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
    Additionally, your 24 hours don't start until you begin to watch the movie, you have 30 days to start watching the movie.
