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.

If they are from Software Update they are valid.

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.

Try a reset. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

Launch the App Store application and log in with your Apple ID. Check to see if iPhoto is available in the Updates section.

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.

Mac OS X 10.6.8, receiving error message "Failed to check for updates. The operation couldn't be completed. Operation not permitted." How to fix?

When I try to update my software, I'm receiving the error message "Failed to check for updates. The operation couldn't be completed. Operation not permitted."
I'm using Safari 4.0.3. Yes, I know this is an old version of Safari - I can't update it, or any other software on my MacBook. Should I just wait for the Lion OS, or is there any kind of fix a non-technical Mac user like me can attempt without screwing up her laptop?
I've tried clearing my cache and resetting Safari already - doesn't help. I've also tried to update after disabling my (Norton) antivirus software, thinking that might be interfering. None of these help.
I don't know if it's a related problem, but also I can't download .pdf files from the internet, although I used to be able to.

You should use the NortonAV uninstaller to uninstall it. Disabling the dreadful thing in the past hasn't always been sufficient for it to cease creating system havoc. The Mac NortonAV version has a long and well-earned reputation for doing truly seriously nasty things to OS X. Shame on Comcast for inflicting NortonAV on its Mac customers. It's not a matter of if NortonAV will mess up OS X but when and how badly. I can't help but wondering if some setting in your Norton AV has decided that NortonAV, rather than you, will be making executive decisions about what you are allowed to install on your computer and is keeping that fact a secret.
After you are done uninstalling Norton use the finder to search for any Norton files that the uninstaller might have missed. Add the option to search for invisible files.
After you have removed all the Norton bits and pieces restart in safe mode by holding down the shift key right after the startup chime. Keep holding down the shift key until you see the Apple logo and spinning gear. Safe mode does some maintenance tasks which means a much longer than normal startup time. Use Disk Utility to repair permission
If your Mac works normally in safe mode restart. If things still aren't fixed you might want to give another shot at reinstalling Snow Leopard from the install DVD and applying the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo before taking your Mac to the Apple Store.
If you feel the need to run AV software on your Mac use ClamXav in manual mode. It's donationware and doesn't seem to cause the litany of weird problems that are associated with other AV software.
