Smart Watch 2 SW2, crashed during PC update, now DEAD

Guys, g'day connected my SW2 to the pc after doing a fresh install of my Z, said there was a new version and then proceeded to update. the update failed and and said to re-install, tried again with no success. I have tried on windows 7/8 and XP machines. The update service says the sofware is up to date and if you're having problems re-install..... this keeps failing and the pc cannot recognise the USB device, says that's malfunctioned. DUH. I cannot even get the blasted thing to light up on he charger. Has anybody been able to fix this issue?

I have managed to fix my watch, thankfully.
By chance i thought I would have another go at it before I totally gave up on it.
I was messing with my NFC on my phone and just thought I give it ago and would you know it it connected and proceed to update, restarted and worked perfectly, FANTASTIC not a penny(cent) spent.
Will never use the PC companion agine.

    Connect your iPod to any computer with iTunes installed, highlight your device and try syncing the apps only. If it doesn't work might have to restore through iTunes. With the new iTunes and iCloud beta, you can have the iTunes list what apps are missing on your device but if you had previously purchased in the past and then have iTunes install them. You should always get in the habit of backing up your iPhone whenever you do any firmware/OS updating/upgrading or transferring over to new device. I really really really really hope you can get back at least some of your old info. I will tell you this, I have been kicking myself in the butt for not routinely backing up my iPhone when my beautiful special iPhone 4 came up missing and had to revert back to my 3GS. iPhone 5 will be released in a few months so I am holding off on purchasing a new iPhone til then, not that I did so without reservation and a little bit of iPhone 4 withdraw.

  • New Zen 8GB crashed during firmware update; now I can't get it to reboot or connect to a compu

    I went and exchanged my "problematic white screen" ZEN 8GB for a new one this evening. When I came home, I attached the new unit to my computer and started to perform the required firmware upgrades. The upgrades downloaded fine, but after the installation started, they seemed to freeze. I waited for an hour before I did anything, but finally had to assume that the update had malfunctioned and would never finish on its own. At that point I clicked "cancel" in the window monitoring the upgrade installation, and thought I could just start the process anew. Unfortunately, my computer no longer recognizes the ZEN when it's plugged into a USB port.
    I rebooted my computer, just in case that was the problem, but it still can't find the ZEN when searching for devices to AutoUpdate. As for the Zen itself, I can turn it on and off, but the screen remains black (i.e., no info on screen). If I reset it, the screen flashes the word "Creative" only. If I try to do a Recovery, I can't get any text to appear on the screen. I can't even reformat the ZEN via my computer because they're no longer speaking. I assume that the interrupted firmware installation caused this problem, and that the ZEN just doesn't have enough of an operating system installed to work properly. Is there any fix for this that I can tackle myself Or, is it back to the store to return this one, too I have noticed a lot of white screen flashings as I've been working with the new ZEN, so perhaps this just wasn't meant to be. Any words of advice are certainly appreciated, however.

    Same happened to me and I only had the thing a few hours. I may leave it connected overnight to see if the battery needs charging but if nothing happens it's going back. I've tried plenty of suggestions. The Creative screen flashes on when I plug it in but then just sits there. Reseting does nothing and how can you do anything to it if it's not recognised by the PC. Vista did see it before the update attempt. Wondered whether to throw XP back on.
    Do I have to resort to the new ipod Nano
    OK I've done it. Somewhere on this forum it said to disconnect the Zen from the PC.
    Now at the same time, press and hold the play/pause button, put a pin into the reset button and hold down the on/off switch (yes all 3 in that order at the same time). Recovery mode came on and I tried to uninstall the firmware update from previously - it didn't do it but I updated the latest firmware again anyway and this time it worked. I guess the last attempt didn't take.

  • IPhone 4 crashed during app update, apps are blank

    I had 24 app updates in the app store, tried to update through the phone. It crashed during the update, and now all the to-be-updated apps are showing up with a white generic logo and 'waiting...' message, updates do not go through. The app store still shows 24 updates, but when I go into that page it just spins. I have rebooted twice. I will not be close to my phone backup until tomorrow. Any ideas are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Try to force your phone into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the computer's USB cord. Turn it off if you can by holding the sleep/wake switch until you see the red slide to off. If you can't turn it off, please continue. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 for details.
    Then you can restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Error 1603
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.

  • Computer crashed during software update

    Currently using OS X Lion, started the latest software update and computer crashed during the update. I forced the computer to turn off, but when I turn it on, it returns to the same "crashed" condition (grey screen with an apple logo in the center, plus the time symbol spinning).
    Greatly appreciate if anyone can help me. Thanks!

    Back up all data, then boot from your recovery partition (command-R at startup) and reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • Iphone crash during software update.....now won't connect

    Hey everyone,
    I was trying to update the software on my 3gs, but during the update itunes stopped recognizing my iphone and now the phone is giving me the connect to itunes screen because it needs to be restored. Now, the problem is that when I try to connect the phone to my pc it tells me that it's in recovery mode and it needs to be restored, however, when I click retore it gets stuck on the "preparing iphone for restore sceen" and sometimes it stops and gives me the 0xE0000065 error message. So I tried to open ports 88 and 443 and try again, but the same thing keeps happening. If anybody has any suggestions, PLEASE let me know, thanks.

  • Crash during firmware update

    I just tried to update my iPod Shuffle. I ran iPod Updater, it said "Update needed" and I clicked update button. In the middle of the update, Windows crashed and the iPod seems to be dead now. It isn't recognized by Windows anymore and iPod updater just says "Plug in the iPod for update" and when I plug it in, nothing happens. Even when I press the battery button, nothing happens (and I'm sure the battery isn't empty becasue before the incident, when I pressed the battery button, it was showing green). I tried everything: reseting the iPod, restarting computer, reinstalling software and nothing is helping.
    I suspect that the firmware of the device got fried during the update procedure (since the update was aborted halfway because of crash). Is there any way to revive the device (reflashing the firmware somehow) than taking it to service?

    My problem is the same.. If i connect my ipod shuffle on the USB port(s) my PC can't recognize it and in "My Computer" folder there is new device called "Removible Disk (F:)" but I can't open or format it.. I hope in a fast solution, 'cause i can't live without music! :P

  • 10.6.7 Crash during the update

    Hello everyone,
    I just downloaded 10.6.7 update, my macbook wanted to restart to start the system after installing, but after the restart it just stuck at the white screen in the beginning, i waited like 45 minutes but there were no move, so i had to shut down the system from the power button.
    Does anyone has the same problem ? does anyone knows if this crash affects anything ?
    Now it is written that i am using 10.6.7 os x but i am not really sure if my macbook was able to install it properly.
    waiting for the answers.
    thanks ...

    Hello, I was having the same problem on my wife's laptop. It was stuck on the grey apple screen at startup after the new update was downloaded and had restarted. She was able to restart on her windows partition, but every restart on the Mac disk would get stuck.
    A genius bar worker figured that there was probably an internet connection issue during the download of the update which could have caused a corruption that was preventing it from completing the install (I'm paraphrasing an over the phone conversation I had with my wife just after she left the mac store).
    If you take your laptop in they should be able to sort it out if this is the issue as it was with us. The genius bar member was able to reinstall the update.
    Hope this helps!

  • Crashed during conform clip, now won't open compound clips!

    I have a project where I went inside a compound clip to conform the clip speed (it was previously retimed but shouldn't have been).
    At this point FCP X crashed. After restarting now I cannot open any compound clips in a timeline.
    This is deadly. I assume the project file got broken during the crash somehow.
    Is there any kind of autosave vault so I can rescue a previous version before it crashed?

    Yep.  This happend to us last week.  This is what you're going to need to do to get the cc back.
    Create a new project.  Drag the compound clip in question into it from your event browser.  Break the compound apart and you should be ok.  This will incur crashes at each step, but if you're patient you'll get it back.
    Did you start this project in 10.0.7 and update the project a few weeks back?  Sometimes little quirks like this happen when you update when you're in the middle of a project.  It's no consolation, I know, but I think that is where it's coming from.
    Please let us know if this works...
    Thanks. Will try that. Total pain as nearly a hundred compound clips in this project that were created to solve a different problem!
    Yes project started in 10.0.7 and updated to 10.0.8 yesterday.
