Stuck on "Checking for Updates"

I just bought a Z10 today and did the upate before using the phone and now it's stuck on "checking for updates" screen. I've taken out the battery and SIM card and left it for 10 min but it still isn't working, I've done this a few times. What am I supposed to do?

Did you try pulling out the battery, wating for a min, and putting in back in?
I faced a similar prblem and this worked for me.

  • IPad Stuck on checking for updates

    I have an ipad 2 and I want to update to iOS 6.1,3 but when I pressed software update it is stuck on checking for updates what do I do

    Gave up. Attached my iPad to my iMac, updated through iTunes. Went back to iPad settings, Same prob.
    Was really hoping the update would fix iMessage, FaceTime, Notes and email but I guess my hopes were set too high to get this brand new iPad Air 128 to work like it's supposed too.
    Sorry, long day. Negative results. Feeling beat.

  • Blackberry Z10 stuck on 'Checking for updates'

    I got the Z10 this morning, I followed the start up bits and it told me to connect to the wifi so I connected it to my home WIFI. It went trough the installations then it's gone to a screen which says "Checking for updates" and a wheel spinning round and round. It's been like this for 20+ minutes now. I took SIM out just in case as I was unsure how to activate my SIM. Even with SIM removed, this happens and it stays on the checkingfor updates page. When SIM is inserted, it's still the same.
    It came up with "cannot connect to APN..." with some other information a few moments ago. I've removed the battery while device was on, and put the battery back in. Now it's still on the "Software update, checking for updates" page and I have no idea how to connect to my wifi. 

    Ok then I recommend reinstalling the OS with an autoloader, info on where to get them and how to do it can be found here...

  • Blackberry Z10 - Stuck on Checking for update

    I recently bought a blackberry z10, and decided to update it before starting to use it which i regret now.
    Since then i have not been able to access the phone as it always comes back to the screen "Checking for updates".
    How long does this usually take as its been over 20 minutes and still on the same screen. I tried restarting the phone iseveral times s but i continue to get the same outcome when i turn the phone back on.
    any help would be appreciated.

    I have powered off the devivce, removed the battery, left the device a part for hours. I put the device battery back in, power up the device, see the BlackBerry logo, then 'checking for updates' resumes and never stops. The phone is totally unusable. One thing I should mention is that the phone has no SIM inserted. Would this make a difference? 
    Leave it powered ON, as I stated above.

  • BlackBerry Z10 stuck "Checking for updates" first time setup.

    I have just bought the Z10 and it keeps getting stuck while checking for updates. I have rebooted it a few times, taken the battery and sim card out and then rebooted it a few times with no success. What should I do? 

    I have the same problem. I just ordered my phone, is new, the setup is not even completed and is stuck for hours now on "Checking for updates". I have a Z10 smatphone and I am really upset! I tried restarting it, remove battery.. nothing helped.. Please give me an idea about what to do!

  • What can I do to change the sound of a track in garageband?  It is "stuck" on electric piano setting and will not change. I've tried restarting, restoring sound library, full key reset, and checked for updates.

  • Went to install Thunderbolt Firmware 1.2 on my imac and now the 'checking for updates' message is stuck.

    Hi everyone,
    I have an imac and had the update for Thunderbolt Firmware 1.2 ready on my app store to install. However, when I went to update it, my app store just keeps saying 'checking for updates' for the past two hours. I'm not sure if this is part of the Thunderbolt update?
    I know it originally warns you the computer will restart and a grey screen will appear with a progress bar, but I've had none of that. Just the 'checking for updates' message constantly going.
    Does anyone know how long this update takes and is this normal?
    If I click on the update for Thunderbolt again it comes up with a greyed out 'waiting' message to the left.
    Please help ...
    Thanks in advance.

    Ok, it seemed I could still click on the thunderbolt update so it was never going to do anything. I force closed the app store and now it's showing 1 update available like it was (for the thunderbolt).  Looks like the app store was just stuck trying to check for updates.
    I'll try again another time :-)

  • Z10 permanently "checking for updates"

    I received my new Z10 today. I had started to set it up, except I don't yet have a sim card, but I have added it to my home wifi. Some set up was done, and some updates were added I thought. But it has now gone into a never-ending session of "Checking for updates".
    Is it because I don't have a sim card inserted yet?
    If not, what can I do to stop it and return to normal?
    Thanks
    Chris
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    That seemed to do the job. I had turned it off and on a few times, and I had removed the battery which did cause it to reset, but every time it simply got stuck. Once I had discovered from the Manual how to reset it, I thought it was back to the same old problem. Then it cleared and reported that setup was complete. All OK now.
    Thanks

  • Is there some way to instruct iTunes to not check for updates of one of my apps?

    2nd gen ipod touch running 4.2.1 (which is the highest availble for that generation).
    I have a free weather app that just came out with an update. This new version requires at least 4.3.
    Since I have the older version of the app, iTunes notifies me of the update, which is not going to work on my ipod. (Actually I downloaded it anyway just to confirm that it wouldn't work, and sure enough, it didn't even want to start).
    So now that I have deleted that version and reloaded the old one, will I be stuck with that number 1 next to the Apps icon for ever more? Is there some way I can instruct iTunes to not check for updates of that app? Or is there some other solution that isn't apparent to me?

    You get all the new iWork suite (Pages 5, Numbers 3 & Keynote 6) free with your Mac purchase. You just need to go to the App Store and sign in with your Apple I.D.
    We warn against relying on the new iWork Apps, they really are just public betas and we are getting a number of users here with unopenable files. Bad news if this is your Masters.
    iWork '09 can be purchased as a Boxed DVD set from Amazon US$27, or online.
    It is much more usable and safer (not totally).
    LibreOffice [free] does not have as polished a UI but is actively supported, and uses open file formats as well as MsOffice formats. It also has the advantage of opening/saving virtually every known format on the planet (wish it would do Pages!) and has a usable but not briliant intgrated database.

  • Software Update - Checking for Updates

    Hi,
    I've just got my PlayBook and I've followed every step, but now I'm stuck. After plugging it in, setting up the wi-fi, logging in with my Blackberry ID, downloading and installing the updates and restarting the PlayBook I'm stuck on the same screen... For over an hour now. All it says is: "Software Update - Checking for Updates"
    Can anyone help? Please?

    Try the three button reset. Hold down Power Button, plus both volume buttons at the same time for 15 seconds. Release and wait one minute. Then hold down the power button only until the red light flashes on (about 4 seconds) , release and wait for the PB to reboot.
