Software update gone bad

I started uploading the iso6 or whatever that is. Before it was done I had to leave the house so the update just stopped when I got out of my home wifi network. Whatever I do the "apple" logo just stays on in th emiddle of the screen. When I got back hom I tried plugging it into the computer and launching itunes, but Itunes did not recognize the device. I have tried rebooting it several times which takes the "apple" logog away for a few second then it comes back on. Even if I hold the sleep button to turn it off, nothing happens. I am at a total loss. Obviously I should have let the iso6 version 6 update finalize before leaving the house, but if anyone has any input to help me it would be appreciated.

Dr. Nugs:
Have you tried downloading the standalone update and installing?

Software Update Gone Terribly, Terribly Wrong

Two days ago, I started the software update for Safari, Itunes, and other things.
Unfortunately, something went wrong, I don't know if my wireless internet kicked out, or if I was running out somewhere and closed my Macbook. I can't really remember. (And yes, I realize this makes me sound like a complete ditz. But. It's the truth.)
Anyways, what happens now, is the objects bounce a single time in the dock, and do not open. I tried to restart the software update, but I get the spinning wheel of death and nothing happens.
Is there any way to correct this issue without calling tech support or anything?

Saw your reply to vivaldibaby, this worked for me last weekend, otherwise would never post all this. In 20 yrs using Macs, have 12 (1986-2006) all working beautifully, I'd never encountered as instantaneous a problem similar to yours, incl past 4 yrs dozens of incremental SW Upd for Tiger on 6 machines. A long stroll thru these discussions *(thank you all!)* helped me get on the right path (11 hrs mostly online research & download time) to solving a mid-startup freeze seemingly caused by (certainly immediately after) installing latest Security Update 2008-003 PPC. +Here's what I learned, in a more logical order:+ Although neglecting to run Disk Utility & TechTool Pro periodic maintenance before running updates (never good to skip, usually don't) on 20" G4 iMac (not my own) I used my laptop on (slow) WiFi connection at (highly shared) public library to download latest QT, iTunes, & SecUpd 08-003. Ran QT (w/ restart) & iTunes no problem but the restart after running SecUpd failed: went to desktop background (only) just before usual "Welcome to OS X" box w/ progress bar. No menu, dock or icons. Ran Apple DU & TechTool, found/fixed minor probs, but same bad startup. Read much talk here sugg never use SW Update in auto mode (I never have) in favor of manual op 1 at a time, (I always have) avoiding wireless and/or slow downloads of any updates due to potential corruption in flight (oops, broke this rule, although update behaved correctly until bad restart), and obviously having a full HD backup avail, bootable clone preferred. And this Mac didn't! Yikes! Can't really undo a SW update unfortunately, and took one member's post advice on doing an Archive & Install, I kept the "Preserve Users..." box checked and voilá of course back up and running. On another post's advice, downloaded the large 10.4.11 COMBO update (never done that before, always incremental) at an actually very highspeed local internet cafe and ran that to tremendous success. Most everything preserved or moved to new System & Apps folders. Only had to swap the new Mail for original one in "Previous Sys" folder, reselect specific dial-up # from list, move couple other Apps & Utils to the new locations, and restart again. Dreaded it, but OS X came thru for me! However, only the initial Archive/Install of older version from DVD would have been possible without my laptop to get the Combo download to fix the desktop 2000 miles from home. 180mb on a dialup? ha-ha. Plus it had use-proven folder of all updates since 10.4.11 Combo release ready to go via thumbdrive. Perhaps you have a Mac-friend with a laptop? Good luck. It's all voodoo anyway, with myriad possible inter-related criteria, but thanks again to others...

Software Updates gone wild!!!

For some strange reason the little Software Update icon that bounces in the dock to let me know I have some stuff to download is going crazy! It keeps bouncing down there ever 10 minutes or so. I have reasons for not updating my computer at the moment because I am in the middle of a video editing project. I even unchecked the box that says Check for updates weekly, monthly, or daily. Before I unchecked it, it was set to weekly. For some reason it has been doing it daily and its annoying. I do want to upgrade at some point just not now. It wants me to update my iTunes, Airport Utility, Quicktime and latest Security update. I am guessing the only way I can make it stop is to download everything.
I am also a little leary too because I have read on here about some people having issues with their computers once they downloaded some of those same things I have yet to download.
I don't want to disable the software update reminder thing but I want it to stop popping up every 10 minutes though.

But you have not read about all the folk who do download and install the updates and never post here because they have no need to do so.
The only reason not to update is when you know your system is not working properly. Fix the system first then update. Falling behind in updates is a sure way to let your computer fall behind in such things as bug fixes, security etc.

Samsung laser printer software updater gone haywire?

I upgraded to Mountain Lion several months ago. I've had the same Samsung ML-2850 printer attached to my system for over 2 years. All of a sudden about a week ago, through nothing I've done, I get a window popping up randomly asking if I want to update the ML-2850 software. If I click "yes" it says there's no software available (which is correct, per the Samsung support web site). If I click "not now" it goes away, only to pop back up randomly several times a day.
I've been in Software Updater and can't find any way to stop this. I've been to the Samsung web site, and I have (and have had) the latest driver for well over a year.
How do I get it to stop this new and very irritating habit??
Tks!

Thanks for the link. Here's the part of the thread that helped me...
What worked for me was telling it which printer to print to on that server by, instead of clicking the IP item to add the printer:
1. On the Mac, when Adding a Printer in System Prefs, right click on the toolbar, selectCustomize Toolbar..., and add the 'Advanced' item (looks like a gear)
2. Now, when adding a printer, select that Advanced item (looks like a gear). Select from the drop down 'LPD/LPR Host or Printer', and URL: islpd://(ip address of your printer)/(name of printer) So for example, if your shared printer's name is RW-240 you would use lpd://10.0.1.1/RW-240 using the specific IP of your PC and printer name. Then select your Driver as usual and add.

IOS 8.1 Update Gone Bad

Hi all. I have an iPhone 4S and I have returned from France. As soon as I got back my phone wanted to update so I just done it without thinking. I've never had a problem till now. Right so the phone seems to have rebooted in DFU and I have a whole load of pictures from France I need of the unit. When I plug my phone into iTunes I get two options. 1 Recover iPhone or 2 Update. If I update will it keep my phone as it was?
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Some security software prevents your iPhone 5 from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your iPhone 5. Thus, please read: Resolve issues between iTunes and security software
If nothing is wrong with security software, you can try some recovery tool, like Dr.Fone for iOS to get your iPhone 5 back to normal. Install the tool on your computer and connect your iPhone 5 to computer. If Dr.fone detects that your iPhone 5 is in abnormal mode, click the Restart the device button on the window of Dr.Fone. Then, your iPhone 5 will be back to normal.
Besides Dr.Fone can scan all data on your iPhone 5 and save them to your computer. or,after your iPhone 5 becomes normal, you can also use iTunes or iCloud to backup data .

Nokia Software Update gone wrong?

Hey guys,
I'll try to be brief enough to avoid boring you. I started this thread off in the wrong forum apparently, and am told this is the correct place.
Basically, my PC Suite software has been rendered unusable, because every time my device attaches to it, it crashes. It appears to crash every time it synchronizes. And I can't stop it from synchronizing, for example, I destroyed the sync configuration on both the software and on the phone, and it still displays the synchronization complete message on the phone, and the PC Suite software crashes.
This was all working 100% yesterday.
I assume the problem has been caused by me updating the phone software, new version tag:
V 06.01
20-05-08
RM-198
(c)Nokia
PC Suite software 7.0.7.0
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
The issue is apparent whether I connect the phone using the USB cable, or bluetooth,
the phone is a 6085
Thanks in advance for any insight.

Go to a Nokia Service Point.

N81 8gb Software Update problems (bad!)

hi i have an N81 8gb phone, great phone but now, its as good as a paper weight, heres whats goin on, the 1st time i updated the software everything was fine and the update went smooth after a few months of use and heavy download (i mean 8GB! a lot of **bleep**) i decided to reinstall the software and start clean slate, so midway into the update the phone just froze and the status bar wasnt moving, and i thought to myself 11 mins seems forever, scary! after an hour i decided to just push some buttons just maybe to "wake up " the phone, but to no avail, man, i was like ok, so i pulled the plug and took out the battery and when i restarted my computer and clicked on the update program, it said i have to reinstall the SOftware and what not. but the problem is everytime it reaches 11 mins left it would spit out an error message saying phone connection lost, then i would have to do it again, after 5 days of trying to update, still the same. 11 mins to me now is a nightmare. PLease help or advise,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi,
can you try this:
1) Remove the battery, and then wait for about 20 min or so before putting it back
2) Press and hold these three keys together -Green dial key, Star key[*], Three key [3]
3) switch ON the phone.
4) Do not let go the three keys until you see the WELCOME screen displayed and just let it complete the boot process
if that doesnt help you at all, you better run to the nearest nokia care point

UPDATE GONE BAD! I ran the new update and my phone only has a picture of a USB and the I Tunes Music note? I plug it in and it says I must restore to the original setting losing everything? Is there hope?

Can anyone help me get my phone working and retain my data? I Ran the latest I Tunes update (6.0)and my phone (3GS) froze on the USB Itunes screen and my computer I Tunes says I must restore to factory settings losing all data?

Yes I had the same problem with my iPhone 4. What I did was connected my phone to my computer. itunes popes up and said that they have discovered a iphone in recovery mode. it asked if i wanted to update and restore. I clicked yes and it download the ios6 update on iTunes on my computer and then did the update on my phone through that. I got the same message and I thought that I would lose everything too, but I did not.

W510 bios update gone bad -- help please

Just went through a montly (+/-) update process through System Update.
Updated BIOS in my W510... along with a host of other things.. but from what I've
read i fear its the bios.
all went normally (as it always has).. machine rebooted after update.. stopped at the thinkpad
splash screen. Just hung there. I left it all day (figured it was doing something?) came back
at night, it was still hung.
tried to force reboot.. i got two beeps.. then three beeps.. nothing happened.
every time i pressed power button.. two beeps.. pause.. three beeps.
took out batt / restared .. no screen.. HD spins / fan spins / power light is on.. but machine
seems dead.
Anyone have any ideas whats going on? how to fix? was it the bios update? can it be rolled back?
Thanks in advance

Were you trying to use http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-74858 ???
If so, we bricked several machines at the beginning of April and asked Lenovo to remove the update. I see that hasn't been done. Maybe now they will.

Bios update gone bad

I have a T60 and I just tried to update the BIOS using the following utility from Lenovo:
Version:                  7IET33WW (1.14)
Release Date:        2008/04/25
File link                   7iuj12us.exe
File size                  2,781,304
File description     ThinkPad BIOS update utility
After the utility completed the update, I followed the instructions to restart and verify the version. After hitting F1, I am presented with a lock icon which has a screen beside it, which I believe to be a prompt for a power on password. Not knowing what it is since I never had one set up, I try my windows password and that of my wife's which we use on the computer (set up when we set up the fingerprint log -in). Nothing works. I can hit enter and access the BIOS setup, but no changes can be made in "user mode" (I never set up a Supervisor password either).
I did read/try the solution which Mark_Lenovo (Admin) posted in other threads regarding removing the battery and backup battery, but it did not work. What is funny is that the power on password is only requested when trying to access the BIOS, I can log on and use the computer normally with the fingerprint reader. I just can not access the BIOS.
I am hoping others who had similar problems might have had better guidance on how to proceed. My initial call to Lenovo proved to be less than comforting stating that even the POP can not be reset and can only be fixed by MB replacement at my cost.
Thanks in advance for any help.
System is a T60, type 8743, WinXP, T7200, 2Gb, current BIOS after update 1.14 (7IET33WW) dated 2008-04-16, Embedded Controller Ver 1.07, old BIOS version unknown, system build Dec 2007.

Lightroom Update gone bad

Yesterday I upgraded to LR 5.4, and ever since I"m getting the message that says Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit. Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem the next time it launches. I found a similar question in this forum, and the answer was to delete the previews files -- which I have done, but I am still getting the same error message. Rebooting hasn't helped either. HELP! I'm pretty much dead in the water until I get this fixed,.

I found the folders called Lightroom 5 Catalog Previews.lrdata and Lightroom 2 Catalog Previews.lrdata inside of my lightroom folder (which was inside of my pictures folder) and deleted them and all of their contents. (It scared me to remove so much info, so first I copied them onto a separate external drive just in case.) Could there be another folder that I'm missing?

Safari and Mail will not open after software update

After doing the monthly software update yesterday, my Mail and Safari programs will not open. I click on the icon in the dock or in the Applications folder and I get nothing. The icon in the dock jumps, but nothing opens. I've read several other discussions and tried dragging several files out of the library, such as plist files and history, etc., but they still won't open. The software update only updated iTunes and iPhoto and included the most recent security update. I have not tried to reload Safari. If I do that (and it works), what do I need to do for Mail? Will I lose all my emails? Can someone tell me what I can do to get both programs back working properly? Thanks!

Another approach is to reapply the 10.3.9 combined update. "Repair permissions" via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
As far as your e-mail's are concerned, the database files are maintained in your User account>Library>Mail folder. It's very important you backup this folder periodically to external media regardless of circumstances to preclude losing your e-mails in the event of file corruption.
Best maintenance strategy is a full backup of your HD on a bootable external (firewire) hard drive. Makes life a lot easier in the event you need to revert your HD to its state prior to an System Update gone bad.

I have a iPhone 4 s I did the software update ages ago and lost my camera roll then did the update and they all came back then on Christmas eve they have all gone !!

THis is now the 5 th time I have written this !!!
I have a iPhone 4s i did the software update ages ago and lost the camera roll .....then I did the update and all my photos returned ...now on Christmas eve they all dissapeared
I now just albums .... All Photos but that only has 77 photos , and that's it over 1000 photos have just gone ??
PLease help me !!

Why should we care how many times you've written this? Are you making multiple threads? Are they being deleted by the Hosts?
Did you make a backup of your iPhone before you updated the iOS?
Did you import the photos to your computer?
Were the photos in the Camera Roll, Photo Stream or synced iTunes albums?
