I am trying to install iOS6.0.1 on my iphone4 and it is stuck on "preparing to install" How do I stop the instal?????
I'm not sure iCloud is the best community to post that question in, to be honest I have the feeling it's likely something best asked from any M$ discussion groups that there might be.

Can I stop the install? Stuck in a reboot cycle
How can I stop the install process? It tells me my disk is damaged and to restart and repair, but when I restart it tries to install again....it's a never ending cycle. I'd rather keep the system I have than continue this mess. Command R, option command, shift at the chime.... None of these things work.
Did you boot from the DVD? Did you do this:
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X. -
Server 2012 freezes during setup at the "installing updates" step
I'm trying to install server 2012 standard on an IBM blade HS22V "7871". Server has SAN attached storage. Server freezes during installation setup at the "installing updates" step. I have tried install booting off of
a USB drive and DVD drive with the same results.Im unable to boot in safemode because windows has not completed the OS install. The install is stuck in the setup at the installing updates step. It will sit there for days or until you crash the server. This is what I have done so far:
installed 2008r2 on the same LUN/SAN without issue
Updated Blade to the latest BIOS/Firmware.
Using the most current IBM ServerGuide "9.51" for hardware drivers.
Attempted install in both UEFI and Legacy mode
Attempted 3 separate install medias "cd and usb"made from ISO not cd copy
Verified we only have 1 LUN 1 Volume Group and 1 Path
Attempted 4 different blades and 3 different chassis. Same results.
We have a HP/3Par T400 SAN that I can successfully install server 2012 on. This is our old Test SAN. We have our new 3par 7400 SAN that is now our production SAN that we are unable to build server2012 on. -
Leopard install is stuck halfway through. How do I get out?
I have a Power Mac G4, currently running OSX 10.3.9. Today I bought the installer disc for Leopard, and began an install.
The install is stuck on the "Installing" screen (which comes after it checks your disc is OK). I have the dreaded spinning beachball of death, and the thin blue line in the progress bar is going nowhere. Under the progress bar it says "Time remaining: Calculating...
My G4 specs:
Power PC G4 (3.3)
OSX 10.3.9
Processor: 1.25GHz
Memory: 1.25GB DDR SDRAM
I set the disc going in the lower DVD chamber (not the DVD player that came with the Mac, but another one I had installed that also has a DVD burner). Is it possible that my Mac doesn't like me using this DVD drive?
Help! How do I stop it and try again? I don't want to just shut down my machine in case I kill in mid-install. Is there a way of force-quitting the install or something?A halfway installed operating system is not totally lost necessarily. It could just be a bad directory, or insufficient space, or a corrupt file somewhere that has yielded an issue installing. Regardless, you can attempt to recover data to an empty Firewire external hard drive at least the same size as your internal drive using Prosoft Data Rescue, Subrosasoft Filesalvage, or Boomerang's Boomerang if you can't mount the hard drive via Target Disk Mode using another Mac or booting that external hard drive from a second partition. To mount it via Target Disk Mode do this set of instructions:
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n58583
Your recovered files won't be bootable, and registration codes won't be saved, but at least your data has a good chance of being saved if you do one of the above.
If you decide to get a second Firewire hard drive, my recommendation is to get one at least 20 GB larger than your internal hard drive, partition it, and install Leopard, Superduper, and one or all of the data recovery programs (Data Rescue, Filesalvage, Boomerang) on the 20 GB partition, and leaving the empty partition to recover data to. If you can boot that external hard drive's partition and do that recovery in one way or another, then you can safely analyze why the internal hard drive failed installation.
To boot the external hard drive after installing the operating system on it, use the Startup Manager below:
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n106178
If none of the three recovery utilities can see the internal hard drive, then a data recovery specialist such as http://www.drivesavers.com/ is necessary. They are expensive.
This is why you should always backup before installing new software, and after saving any important data. See my backup FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html

Safe mode did nothing.
Safe mode with verbose seemed to make it worse.
Before continuously trying new things, I could use the install disk to check the disk utility and clear
the hard drive from there but now the screen won't even load to that.
I really need the data on the hard drive especially if it can't be salvaged.
How can i transfer files?
Am I better off physically taking my HD out or will it damage itself without
leaving the system.
I tried command r
resetting the pram
safe mode
jumping out a window
nothing has helped.
I am stuck on the blue screen of death and it flickers.No. In order to use FireWire Target Disk Mode you need to use a FireWire equipped Mac. Other than that the only other way I can think of to even attempt to access you files would be to remove your hard drive and install it in a case and connect it to another computer.
Have you run the Apple Hardware Test? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509 -
Prety much what the question says. HELP!

No the mac had come with Leopard. Then I bought the snow leopard DVD and did a clean install of snow leopard.
If you just stuck the disk into the Leopard Mac and run the upgrader, you didn't do a "fresh install" you basically upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6 leaving all the programs and files intact.
The white Snow Leopard disk was the right one for that machine as it had Leopard (10.5) on it previously.
So you already have Snow Leopard installed, if you want to erase the entire drive (along with all your programs, files and OS X) and want to install Snow Leopard again, you hold the c or option/alt key down and boot the machine off the disk. Then use Disk Utiltiy to erase the entire drive, then quit and install Snow Leopard.
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
Once Snow Leopard is installed you log in and use Apple Menu > Software Update until clear to get to 10.6.8 and fix security issues.
Now I can't get it to do the install again.
To install Windows into BootCamp, you read and run the BootCamp Assistant located in the Applications > Utiltiies folder
It's important to change the drive format from FAT32 to NTFS before installing Windows using the Windows disk.
Windows is rather complicated to install, if you boot to a blinking line with "press any key to continue" you need to press and hold the power button down and reboot holding the Option/Alt key down to get back into OS X.
https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
If your Windows programs are not going to be as CPU/GPU demanding, you may rather prefer to use a virtual machine instead
Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine? -
Just tried to update my iPad 2 to the current iOS, and I got an error that said the update wouldn't install. The iPad is stuck in a funny mode with the apple and spinning wheel showing. I can't power it down or restart it. What next? Thanks.
Try a hard reset: hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

I used utilities to source my 10.6 snow leopard install disc to my main hardrive, and now when I turn on my computer the apple with the spinning wheel stays on the screen and stuck like that. How do I fix it Help please. I already tried all the commands such as Command R, Holding down the Option key, C and holding down shift at the start up but nothing happens.
initialy All I was trying to do was downgrade 10.7 to 10.6 .You have to consider the possibility the hard drive may be dying. If your data isn't backed up, try one of the tools below:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1689
Once you are sure your data is backed up, we can examine other possibilities. In the meantime call AppleCare for your original installation DVDs. You may need them. -
First gen Appletv suddenly stopped working from one night to the next. This has happened in the past once and the usual restore, reboot, etc, tinkering finally snapped it back into working quite unexpectadly. The symptom is, after restore when it gets to the screen to pair with itunes by entering the numbers in itunes, the number is briefly up on the tv screen and then quickly is gone returning to the select resolution page. This happens over and over with each try while the Appletv never shows up in itunes and the number box never appears either to pair the computer with the Appletv. It does the same thing with my intel macbook so I don't think it's the Imac. I have dumped itunes 10 and reloaded itunes 9 with no change in the problem. My IP scanner picks up that the Appletv is on our network as soon as it turns on. I have used wireless, which it finds and logs into, and ethernet which also has it finding my network. I can't test whether it is actually on the network by trying to play a trailer or something because it will not go past that pairing screen in the initial setup. Are the built in diagnostics reliable when they say your appletv is working correctly. The hard drive isn't making any exceptionally loud noise as it spins up. I am stuck with this unit because I use it with a G4 Imac running Tiger 10.4 for a video/audio jukebox at the bar. New ATV won't work with the Imac unless it's running leopard I believe. The thing runs like molasses already so attempting leopard which I don't have anyway would really make it crawl. I love a good mystery/problem but this thing is driving me crazy. If I just could know for sure what component inside was shot I would replace it. Could a hard drive boot up to a degree and then get stuck at one part of the install, or would it have to be the logic board, or something else. Bad juju in the house or something
Had same problem this finally stopped it for me.

I just finished downloading and attempting the install of ios 7 on my iPhone 5. I'm using the newest version of iTunes.
And now, I'm stuck at the screen with the iTunes logo and the plug. But no matter how many times I try, recovery mode will not work. My phone is currently useless unless I can figure this out.No problem, glad to help!
Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine. -
I have recently bought an iPhone 4S and I am trying to install iOS7. The install initially failed and I received an error message. I attempted a restore, however, the progress bar is now stuck at "Restoring iPhone software.."
I'm still attempting to restore it, but the process goes as follows
- Extracting software.
- Waiting for iphone.
- Preparing iphone software for restore.
- Verifying iphone software.
- Restoring iPhone software.
It is at this point where it begins to load approxiamtely 10% and then freezes. I have had the handset connected 7 hours with no progress and this is my third attempt since Friday. Please help.See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You may need to try this More than Once...
Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

I just tried to install the latest software update for an iPhone 5, and now the phone is stuck in recovery mode. Are there any options available to avoid going through with the recovery. This seems really lame.
No.
You must restore. -
I am not able to install asphalt 8 on ios 7 ipad retina display. I am downloading it directly but on the install process it is stuck.
Try rebooting your iPad by holding down the power and home buttons simultaneously until a blank screen with the Apple logo appears. Ignore the power off slider if it appears. After a while your device should go to the main screen, as if you're turning the iPad on. Don't worry, this won't do anything to your data, it just literally restarts the iPad.

My iMac seems to have frozen during the update- how long should I expect the update to take? The 'installing software update' bar is still showing itself working but has been stuck in the same position for over an hour. Any thoughts?
Update2: There is something very wrong with wireless on mountain lion recovery. I don't know what the problem is, but this link may explain:
http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/10/os-x-mountain-lion-10-8-1-beta-released-for-dev-t esting-may-include-wi-fi-fix/
Wireless recovery would start out with over 25 hours estimated and kept on failing. It turns out to be a two step process of downloading a few Mbytes then a 4Gbyte .dmg file, but I couldn't even download the Mbyte file. I bought the thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter, plugged it in, restarted recovery and download of a little more than 4Gbytes took less than an hour. My limiting factor was probably comcast home internet rate of 12Mbps. The wi-fi wireless connection should be able to do over 100Mbps, so wireless shouldn't be much slower than wired, except wi-fi wireless is broken. Now that ML is installed and updated, wi-fi seems fine now, as I am using it right now, but I haven't tried downloading a big file yet.
Don't use wi-fi wireless for Mountain Lion recovery.
