Software update freeze trying to update to IOS 6

After attempting to update my Ipad 2 with IOS6, I am left with my ipad in recovery mode. Itunes recognises the ipad once plugged in via USB. It detects its in recovery and suggest a restore. I click to restore and update. All is well it extracts the software etc, but when it comes to "Restoring ipad software" it gets stuck The progress bar appears on both itunes and the ipad but never progresses past a few mm on itunes and about an inch on the ipad. I have tried the following:
Left it for at least an hour.
Tried different cables and both of my USB outlets
Checked I have latest itunes update (10.7)
Carried out an anti virus check on the PC (running windows XP)
Called apple support (no suggestion other than to keep trying???)
I do not get any error message (other than 9 but that is when I remove the USB as its the only way to close down the PC)
Interesting to note I had a similar problem with my i phone when updating to IOS5, but after a couple of attempts and a cable change it worked ok.
At a complete loss, any one had similar issues?

Hi, thanks for the tip. I forgot to mention I disabled my fire wall before hand. I will see if I have any other anti virus software running in the back ground.... Although my plasma has just died so wont be today. Really not my day!!

  • Getting an error message that unable to check for software update when trying to download new iOS 8.0.2 update ?? Can someone help ???

    Getting an error message of unable to

    ios 8.0.2. Can someone help ??

    Howdy there otss1979,
    It sounds like you are unable to download the iOS 8.0.2 update either, over the air, or using iTunes. If you are updating the software on your phone in Settings > General > software update I would recommend starting with this article:
    Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update
    If you are using iTunes, I would use this article instead:
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
    If you are getting a specific error number, the following article will help you get that resolved:
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors
    If this does not resolve the issue, could you please write the error message you are getting word for word for me?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

    I have an Iphone 5  6.01.  I have a notice on my app store that I have an update. Tried to update, but it won't.  Connected to Itunes and tried to download update for App.  I can't do that either.  It won't let me update any of the apps.  What is wrong?

    My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine.  We always manually manage our music (no auto sync).  iTunes is up to date on the PCs.  My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines.  He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4.  I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s.  How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
    Thanks

    I have an HP Photosmart 5520 all in one printer and a MacBook Pro. Bought the MacBook Pro in Jan 2013 and the printer in Dec 2012. I was able to print to the wireless printer up until June 2013. In September, when I tried to use them together, I could not print. During the period between June and Sept., my laptop software was updated. I have tried to update the HP software on my laptop, but could not. What can I do to use this printer with my MacBook Pro? Please help!

    The MacBook Pro is running at least 10.7.

  • My iPod Touch is stuck on the screen you get when your updating from trying to update with old iTunes

         So I was trying to update my 4th gen iPod touch when it canceled the update and told me that I needed to update iTunes. So while I was trying to do so, which didn't even work by the way, I noticed that my iPod was stuck on the screen that you get when updating your iOS. The bar was about a quarter way filled when it froze. I'm not sure how to fix this or what to google to find a solution so I came here. I'm actually leaving it alone to try to see if it runs out of battery since after all it has to be wasting battery from being on all the time. Please help!

    Hey rdbreunig,
    Thanks for the question. If you issue is not yet resolved, it may be necessary to restore your iPod touch in recovery mode:

  • Software corruption error trying to update to 8.2

    When I try using iTunes to update iPhone 5s to iOS 8.3 it downloads ok, then throws an error that the download is corrupted and I should check the internet connection. Tried several times to update with no success. Turned off and restarted the phone. My phone is working fine otherwise. Could this be a server problem and I should try tomorrow.

    Should have mentioned that the internet is working just fine. I just updated on my iMac several games from iTunes store with no problem. I am using iTunes 12.1.0.50 and Yosemite 10.10.2 on my iMac.

  • While downloading my updates, it tries to update for 63 minutes and then says it couldn't update because it was timed out.  I have tried at three times.  any suggestions?

    There was a problem downloading the software for theIpod.  An unknown error occurred (9006)
    Make sure your network settings are correct and your networkconnection is active, or try again later.
    This was the last error message.

    Try disabling a/v software and turning off the Firewall.
    Disable antivirus software
    Turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
    Then try to update.

  • Why is the ios7 update freezing at the "updating iCloud settings" page?

    I have updated to ios7, but when i get to the last few steps, the phone stays on the updating iCloud settings forever till the screen locks and i have to start over. Is this normal? What am i doing wrong or what can i do to fix it?

    Same on iPad2. If you skip it you can use the device, BUT you cannot go into the iCloud setting.   It ends up freezing the settings panel.

  • Trying to update to latest firefox I'm 3.6.18 But it says NO UPDATES available

    trying to update to latest firefox I'm 3.6.18 But it says NO UPDATES available

    ''trying to update to latest firefox I'm 3.6.18 But it says NO UPDATES available''
    If you mean to 6.0 try updating now, everything seems to have been screwed up this last week or two with strange things happening yesterday.
    The www.mozilla.org which is usually better for updates without messing things up does not tell what version it would download if your press the green button on page.
    The www.mozilla.com site yesterday indicated 5.0.1 yet for a couple weeks no update would be found when asked in Firefox from 5.0 Today it indicates 6.0 and 5.0.1 got updated to 6.0 when I asked it to. It too had check for updates and ask, but did not find any updates until today and that wasn't checked automatically.
    Yesterday my 3.6.18 got updated as soon as I brought it up to 5.0.1 today it went to 6.0 (I had check for updates, like within 3.6.* but I also had ask me, no respect)
