Please help update issue

I updated my iphone 3g and now itunes is saying that it's restoring iphone software it's now been doing this for about 5 hours and i'm not even half way through is this normal? someone please help thanks

I had mega problems too. Try following the steps in my posting as below after creating a new user account on your computer with ADMIN priviledges also. See my posting on 20/06/2009 22:33 titled "Upgrade Error number 4 and Restore Error 1603 when going to OS 3.0 - Solved"
And turn off any antivirus and firewall software too, before doing so. In ITunes, highlight your iphone icon and then click the Restore Button on the ITunes Summary tab which seems to force the iphone into an update. Dont try using the Check for update button. Good Luck...........

    I recently updated the software on my iPhone 5 and now I can't open my iTunes Store and e keypad seems really slow in responding. I have turn my phone in and off but it hasn't solved the issue. Can someone please help!

    It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
    Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
    As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
    Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

  • HT4623 Please help update ipad

    I am really struggling to update my iPad to iOS 5 or higher.  I don't know what version I have it's the original iPad. I have looked at the instructions to install iOS 5 and it says go to settings then to general and then software update.  Easy BUT I don't have the option of software update ... Please help I am ready to throw my iPad out of the window....

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • IPhone 5 brightness permanently reduced (Please help, voltage issue??)

    Hello,
    I really need someone with high expertise to help me. Obviously i appreciate any help given but please dont say point less comment like reboot the phone or turn autobrightness off.
    Here is the issue:
    I have had several iPhones, right from the first to the 5. Lucky me. But i have always had the same issue. The screen brightness is significantly lower than any other iPhone that I compare it to.
    Now i have the iPhone 5, if i compare it to anyone elses the brighness is much lower. Autobrightness is off. When i first got the iPhone the brightness was like everyone elses.
    i only use the official charger. I think there may be a problem with the voltage or the electricity in my home as all my iPhones have had this problem. Im not sure when the change happens but the something is damaging the backlight of my iPhones. No idea what.
    Please can some one with the same issue or knowledge of physics please help me. I dont want to keep having this issue. I also have a Macbook pro and am fairly sure its happned with this also but have no means of comparison as I dont know any one else with one that comes to my apartment.
    Regards

    The iPhone 5 has full Warranty. Make Genius reservation and take to Apple Store. Show the Genius the problem and they will replace your iPhone 5 with a perfect iPhone 5 without problems. If some of iPhone 5 have this problem, it does not matter, Apple makes millions of iPhone 5, some are going to have a problem. When the Genius gives you the new replacement iPhone 5 test it out in the Apple Store before you leave, so you are happy and do not waste anymore of your time.

  • Please Help Updating FCPX 10.0.8 files to 10.1.1 - Manually Doesn't Work

    Hello all,
    I tried updating all my Events and Projects from FCP 10.1.1 after using it for awhile (explanation below) and it won't recognize them. After studying online, I've put my Final Cut Events and FC Projects folders in my boot internal Movies drive and on the boot of one of my external drives, but still FCP X 10.1.1 won't recognize them - they are visible but greyed out.
    I have been able to import media from those folders, but without the project files it would be back to the drawing board - no good.
    When I first opened FCPX 10.1.1 I only updated 1 project - a full length doc I was working on, because I didn't want to clog the system while working,
    (I had to get a Digital Cinema Print made quick on my system) and because after reading the Read Me First Notes and white papers, it made it clear that I could update my files manually later.
    So far, no go. Please help. I'm of course - like everyone else - on a deadline, and I have at least 10 short films/projects that are in various stages of
    edits that need to be completed.
    Tom Wolsky, you out there? Kevin Monahan? It's been awhile since I needed advice. Yes, I know, operator error...so it goes. Please help anyone.
    Working on an iMac (Late 2012) 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 with 16BG 1600 Mhz DDR3 Ram on OSX 10.9.3.

  • Please help update to version 5.1.1 for my ipad1

    PLease help need to update my ipad1 to version 5.1.1 need assistance please

    A first generation iPad cannot be upgraded beyond iOS 5.1.1. That is the most up to date version of iOS possible for that device.  As mentioned, plug it into iTunes and select update from iTunes. You cannot do an update over wifi as your version of iOS predates the introduction of over the air updates.

  • Please Help - Same issue for years - Mail rule switches itself!

    This issue has plagued me with Apple Mail for years and I would like to finally resolve this to keep my sanity. Please help!
    We have used the MobileMe family account (5 pack) for awhile and both my wife and I have our own unique email address that is set and we also have one combined account that we use as well. I have some rules in place to help keep the mail organized. Often we will get 1 e-mail for both of us (i.e. a message about a group we are both in or a sports team for our children) - it is sent to our joint account and then the Mail rule will handle putting them in both our boxes.
    There is the one rule that keeps changing itself! It's maddening. Here is what I want to occur:
    1. I get an e-mail to our joint MobileMe account.
    2. The rule will move that specific message to my folder and then place a copy of that message in my wife's folder.
    That's it. That's all that I want it to do.
    Here is what I put in the mail rule description to make that happen:
    IF "any" conditions met:
    "Any recipient" is equal to "joint account e-mail address"
    Perform following actions:
    "Move message" to "my mailbox"
    "copy message" to "her mailbox"
    "Stop evaluating rules"
    That's it. Here is where the problem ensues. This rule will actually work correctly for 1 or 2 times. Then what happens is somehow this rule actually changes itself and when I open up the rule description it will actually show:
    "Move message" to "my mailbox"
    "Copy message" to "my mailbox"
    Ugh. So I end up getting two copies of the same thing and have to physically move it over. It seems so simple and I can't understand why it keeps switching itself.
    I've had the issue ever since we had our family account and back to the Tiger operating system. I would love to get this fixed for good!

    I may well have missed something, but it seems to me that the command to Copy to her mailbox should come before the command to Move to your mailbox. That way the source remains available until the final Move step. I cannot say why the Rule construction would change by itself, but I can see the possibility of confusion if the Move comes before the Copy.

  • Please help - boot issues, os issues HELP

    so i came home after three months and started up my mac. i was having internet issues so i restarted the mac. ever since the mac has been tremendously slow, taking sometime 15 minutes to boot. after that every application runs absurdly slow. i searched the forums and found the suggestion to boot into open firmware and reser pram and nvram.
    so i did that. after that the os x boot screem came up and the status bar seemed to be moving faster, but it gets all the way to the end of the bar and then just hangs.
    i know have the tiger install dvd in the drive and am trying to reboot, because i saw the suggestion to run a hardware test and a disk repair but i cannot boot to the dvd either.
    please HELP! i love my mac and am going crazy without it, having to use the horrible dell laptop my work gives me right now.

    If your attempt to boot from Tiger DVD fails, it sounds like the directory on the disk drive is very damaged and corrupt, which can prevent booting.
    Do you have a FireWire drive handy?
    A backup?
    You will need another drive to work from. And either a copy of TechTool Pro 4.5 or Disk Warrior probably.
    You could try booting to Single User Mode (command s) and run fsck - though I suspect it will say it was unable to repair, nothing to lose - maybe.
    How hard is to to disconnect the internal hard drive? or to replace it? or move it to a external FW/SATA interface case.

  • Please help..Issue on getting parameter from a backend fm

    Dear Expert,
    I have a requirement which is to edit the ess~cod for the employee communication. I have copy out the function group ZHRXSS_COD_INTERFACE. I created my own function module ZCOD_VALIDATE and attached to the function group. My funtion module are just returning an export parameter and a table without getting any import parameter.
    I have create a ZCodModel (pointing to the ECC function group) and the model class is ZCod_Validate_Output. I have done all the reimporting of the model and context binding. My question is why i still not getting any value from the function module. I tested the fm in ecc and it works well.
    I have added the following code in do init.
    ZCod_Validate_Input Input = new ZCod_Validate_Input();
    wdContext.nodeZCod_Validate_Input().bind(Input);
    try {
    wdContext.currentZCod_Validate_InputElement().modelObject().execute();
    wdContext.nodeCod_Validate_Output().invalidate();
    } catch (Exception ex) {
    fpm.getMessageManager().raiseException(wdThis.wdGetAPI ().getComponent(), ex);
    Anyone can tell me why i am not getting the parameter? Please help me.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Bryan

    Hi Siva,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I got this error when i execute it? Anyway my function module does also return a table but i have yet to define a context to store it. I am just trying to get the value of the export parameter. If it success, then i can proceed to bind the table. However now, it seem getting an export parameter also giving me problems.

  • Please help - performance issues with Lr 2.3

    I really hope some user/s or Adobe support members could help me with tweaks/suggestions to improve Lightroom 2.3's sluggish performance on my computer.
    First of all I have read about 100 different forum topics this morning, have used the forum search extensively and I cannot find any one topic which talks about different methods for improving performance. So I really have tried to find the answer before asking for help and I have done a lot of googling to try and find some simple answers but after all this reading I am more confused than when I started out.
    Let me first explain what I am experiencing and I will try and be as detailed as possible.
    1 - When I browse the library it is incredibly slow rendering the thumbnail previews. I found a topic which talked about degfragging the LR catalog using sqlite and contig, I did that and it made no difference to performance.
    2 - I left my machine running an entire day to render the 1:1 previews thinking this would help me with the slow thumbnail issues but it made no difference. It is however faster now when I double click and image and get the immediate 1:1 preview :)
    3 - I have turned off the Automatically write changes into XMP, suggested on another topic, that made no noticeable differences to performance either.
    4 - A few months ago when I was still running 2.1 I found a topic either here or on Google that told me to delete the entire previews folders and let LR recreate them from scratch, I did that back then and that did not make any difference either, turned out to be 24 hours of waste time for me.
    5 - I tried changing the following settings under catalog settings (has not improved anything):
    size: 2048 Pixels
    quality: High
    automatically discard 1:1 previews: Never
    6 - The only slow performance I am experiencing in LR is the thumbnails and this slows down my workflow dramatically. Everything else in LR seems to be quite fluid and usable and fast. I notice many users have complained about the slow thumbnails issues and I was praying that 2.3 was going to sort this out.
    7 - I have also noticed that when scrolling up and down the thumnail list it sometimes uses more than 1 processing core and then sometimes not and then when I stop scrolling up and down the thumbnails and leave it alone for 5 seconds suddenly all 8 processing cores spike to around 50% usage with processing "something".
    8 - I have tried making my thumbnail previews different sizes, also makes no difference really, unless I go to the smallest size and then it seems ok but then it's hard to see what's going on at all with thumbnails that small.
    9 - Lightroom is only using up 1.1 GB of available memory so I do no think the slowness relates to memory and I am running my memory in a proper DDR3 configuration.
    10 - I have tried playing with my graphics card settings (below) but it does not seem to help no matter what I try.
    11 - Overall it "seems" that Lightroom is trying to re-render thumbnails continously, I know technically this may not be true but as an end user this is how it feels to me.
    My computer specifications are as follows:
    Intel i7 965 Extreme Edition (not overclocked)
    Intel DX58 Smackover Motherboard
    6GB DDR3 Ram (not overclocked)
    GEForce 9800GT Video Card (with WHQL driver)
    SATA 2 1TB Seagate Drives
    Windows Vista X64 (SP1)
    Lightroom 2.3 X64
    NEC 30" Display running at 2560x1600 resolution
    The way I have LR configured on my PC is as follows:
    - Program files installed on main C drive which is a 250GB partition on a 1TB Seagate Sata 2 drive with 190 GB Free space all the time.
    - Lightroom catalog is on my E drive which is a 1TB Seagate Sata 2 drive
    - Camera Raw Cache is set at 10GB and resides on the same E drive as the LR catalog
    - My E drive has 100GB Free Space
    - I have tried tweaks to the video card settings to be Lightroom spe

    Hi Don
    Thanks for the reply, I have tried changing any/all settings on the card set to performance versus quality and still it has no effect. I just got the latest video driver for the GT9800 which was released on the 3rd of March and that has no effect either. I tried loading the 32 bit version of Lightroom without any improvement to speed on the thumbnails whatsoever so that rules out the possibility of it being something to do with 64-bit.
    I read an Adobe knowledgebase article saying that the Nvidia control panel conflicts with certain Adobe software but they do not say how to turn it off and I also cannot even find the answer to that on Nvidia's forums either. So I still cannot say whether or not the Nvidia control panel is the problem because I cannot disable it.
    I phoned a friend this morning who is running Lightroom 2.3 on a simple Core-2 Duo machine and his thumbnails render in half the time that mine do and my hardware is top of the range stuff in comparison so you can imagine my frustration with this thumbnailing issue. My friend also has an Nvidia card 8800GT I think.
    I have spent so much time on this and I am no further to a solution and this blurry thumbnail issue is seriously messing with my eyes and it does not make for a very pleasant user experience.
    What concerns me is that while Lightroom is idle and the machine is idle Lightroom is not doing anything in the background like rendering thumbnails. It only starts rendering them once I scroll down a page, no doubt by design but for more powerful machines there is a lot of processing ability going unused. The thumbnails on the filmstrip render a lot faster compared to grid view but their rendering state is also not retained and once I have scrolled past 100 images and then scroll back they are all blurry again and I have to wait for them re-render all over again. All this re-rendering of thumbs is a really big waste of time.
    I also noticed something else interesting this morning, I opened task manager and left it open while I was scrolling thumbnails (continuous scrolling without waiting for them to render sharp) and only one core was being used to do this processing, I tested this multiple times and left it open while I scrolled through 5000+ images and only one core the whole time was being used. Only once I stopped scrolling and Lightroom began it's rendering of the thumbnails (about 10-15 seconds after stopping scrolling) did it only then start using multiple processors, I'm not sure if that has something to do with anything and memory wise I have 4.2 GB of available memory and Lightroom is only using about 425 Mb of memory.
    I have changed the size of my thumbnails to below halfway on the slider and that made only a slight difference, although now they are so small on this 30" screen that I am now suffering even more eye strain as a result.
    I am busy loading LR 1.x to confirm whether any of these behaviours existed back then and will report back.

  • Please please help, screen issue

    Could someone please look at this picture and see if they know what's going on with my screen?? Is there's fix for it before I have to take it in. I haven't backed up in a long while
    [IMG]http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t75/ame8199/2f9fdaaa.jpg[/IMG]

    I am at Apple right now waiting on my appointment. Im typing this on their computers. Im hoping it is an easy fix. It does seem to get very very hot lately. It started up fine this morning and after about a half hour, the screen went haywire again. I was working on backing up stuff, but it never got through it all. I was able to get some documents for work on my jump drive before it went out the last time last night. It seems to be ok once it is cooled down but then after a while it starts to get hot. So we'll see what they find at my appointment.
    I have applecare and its still under warranty until Feb 2011. Good thing it went out before it was Feb.
    I dont know if this has anything to do with it, but I did a software update last night before everything started going haywire. We'll see what they say. I didnt have a chance to print out that article, so hopefully they know about it. I do have it in my email if they need a reminder.
    Thanks for all your help

  • Please help Update me after a 2 year COMA - Crash Course from the experts!

    I basically have been in a COMA for the past 2+ years and in 2006 was part of an Elite group of Tech Support - Research and Review team that also served as "Crash Test Dummies" for Mac and various related software, Quark, Adobe, InDesign. Then I went 'brain dead' and the company I worked for and collegues are scattered.
    I was know as an Excel Goddess. I was up on the latest "known issues" related to MAC/PC converted files and could save many others wasted time trying to work around a 'known issue'.
    I'm going back to college for an Associates Degree for Computer Information Technology to go along with the 25 years experience I have - I started at NCR in '79 when mainframes were the size of refridgerators. I grew up with computers - the languages - glitches and software pms unknown promlems.
    I have a iMac G3 with AppleWorks 6.4 I believe. From what research I have done it seems the brilliant idea of BootCamp/Conversion via parrarells was a waste of time for a lot of IT people.
    My Question is this - would I be doing ok purchasing a refurbished Mac [AIR?] with wireless / bluetooth included and should I forget about AppleWorks/MS Office and just get the iWork09 and kinda relearn the tricks and tips from reading?
    Thank you so much - I want to update but I feel so far behind. I truly appreciate your opinions.
    Sincerely,
    JDNoble79

    iWork is a fairly decent medium power collection of tools. But in the professional and academic worlds the MS Office collection is king of the hill. This will become especially true when exchanging files and data. If Excel is used in classes, then there is no acceptable substitute.
    I spent 40 years in business and academia so I'm not mistaken in the recommendation. iWorks is simply not a substitute for Office. Since the OP is planning on returning to college he/she should have the tools that colleges and universities use almost 100%.

  • Problems with the alt key and numbers, please help major issue

    All of a sudden I am unable to use the alt key with any numbers, meaning I can't create hashes (alt 3) and bullets (alt 8), and others that I haven't missed yet. I've tried two keyboards, one wireless and one wired but to no avail. It seems to work fine for everything except 3 through 9.
    I found somebody with the same issue beforehand:
    *I have finally tracked the problem down to a problem preference file, namely this one:*
    com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist
    *I have no idea what it's supposed to do, but it wasn't doing it right.*
    But even still, it made no sense to me, can anybody help me? This is an issue that's been disrupting everything I do on my Mac for a few days now, and not found the issue as yet.

    Feel a bit silly now! Just sorted it myself, had a look around my hard drive, and deleted the com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist file, and restarted, when I started up and tested it my ¡€#¢∞§¶•ªº keyboard alt tab seemed to work!
    For future reference, just do this and restart afterwards:
    [YourHardDrive]>>Users>>[YourUserName]>>>Library>>>Preferences>>>com.apple.symbo lichotkeys.plist>>>Delete that>>>Restart your Mac and you've fixed it.
    Cheers anyway!
