"The software update failed. Make sure that your phone is connected to the computer and try again"

Hi
I just had my xperia Z3c in repairs, and now I seem to have the death screen or something. When I connect to a wall charger or my MacBook, it starts turning on and off, displaying the message "The software update failed. Make sure that your phone is connected to the computer and try again", even when it's connected to the wall charger, not the Mac. I've tried pushing the volume up + on/off button for 10 seconds, and Sony Bridge for Mac doesn't recognize the device. I was told to let it charge for an hour before turning it on at the store, which I did, but again, it starts flashing that message as soon as I connect it to anything.
Pleease help me out
Best regards
Maria

Connect your phone to a wall charger > press and hold power & volume up for 10 seconds > let it charge for 2 to 3 hours

  • HT201272 Cannot locate itunes preferences to to follow the steps. 2.Make sure that you have "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases" enabled in your iTunes preferences by going to iTunes Preferences under the Store tab.

    Can you assist me with downloading my past purchases on my new computer?

    just as a follow-up i found a thread indicating mismatched AppleIDs could be a problem, so I changed the iCloud id to match, and that did allow me to get Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases and get the SD version.
    Unfortunately, this hasn't solved the ultimate problem of getting the movie to sync to and play on a 1st gen Apple TV.

  • If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
    that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".<br />
    You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection<br />
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"

  • The software update failed

    Downloading the latest firmware took forever (3 hours and still at 30%). Then I accidently unplugged the USB cable. Now my phone says "The software update failed" and I am unable to turn it on or connect using The Sony Bridge for Mac. How can I fix this?

    You may need to perform a software repair using PC companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
    Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
    Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).

  • Windows Mail could not be started. Make sure that your disk is not full or that you are not out of memory (0x800C0155).

    I have Vista SP2. Every time I open Firefox (3.6.13), I get three consecutive error messages:
    1) Windows Mail could not be started. The application was unable to open the Windows Mail message store. Your Windows Mail mailbox data is currently being used by another program, such as a virus scanner. Close the program or wait for it to complete its operation, then open Windows Mail again (0x800C0155).
    2) Windows Mail could not be started. Make sure that your disk is not full or that you are not out of memory (0x800C0155).
    3) Windows Mail could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be initialized.
    This series of messages continue to recur during my Firefox session and eventually will freeze up my session.
    I use Gmail. I do not use Windows Mail or Outlook Express and deleted Windows Live Mail. There is a a file named msoe.dll using the path C: /Program Files/Windows Mail. I also found C:/Program Files/Windows Live/RemoteActiveX even though I thought I deleted all Windows Live programs.
    I have set Firefox as the default browser. Also, in Firefox, if I click on "File=>Send Link", it triggers the series of three error messages above.
    I don't understand why Gmail would reference Winmail. Any ideas how I can fix this? Can I or should I delete the Windows Mail and Windows Live folders?

    I have had many problems with permissions on Windows Vista, 7,8 & 81.1.  It is usually after an update or installation, especially one that requires a reboot to finish (some AVG, Windows Live, Windows Updates, etc).  Once File(s), Folder(s)
    and Registry Key(s) permissions are screwed up, it can take days to work them out if ever.
    After having spent several hours on a clients PC and online forums with this problem.  I transferred her user profile with a free program called
    Transwiz (run as Administrator) to a zip file on the HDD.  I renamed her user in manage User Accounts to "Username old".  I then ran Transwiz again to restore the profile but telling it to create a new user using the original Username.
     After it completed restoring the profile, I logged out of "Username old" and logged in to Username and all wass well, I only needed to supply the email password which is not transferred.  When you move profile data, all the old permissions
    have to be removed and <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> permissions added so the data and files belong to the <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> user.  This cleared up all the permission
    problems.

    There should be a User Agent Switcher menu item under Tools, which gives you the browser names you can impersonate.
    The menu item name changes to the browser UA you are presently using.
    There is also a User Agent Switcher button, you can add it using View -> Toolbars -> Customize, and dragging the button to your toolbar.
    See http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/features/ and http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/help/
    You can just start trying IE versions (or the versions it says on the site) until it lets you in.

    Running Time Machine for the first time, how that I make sure that some information I have in the external drive does not get erase in the prosess

    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Note: This is now your Library. It's not a Back Up, and you need another disk for backing up.

  • How can i stop an error message that comes up when i am using word? the error message is "word is unable to save the Autorecover file in the location specified. Make sure that you have specified a valid location for Autoreover files in Preferences,-

    how can i stop an error message that comes up when i am using word? the error message is "word is unable to save the Autorecover file in the location specified. Make sure that you have specified a valid location for Autoreover files in Preferences,…"

    It sounds like if you open Preferences in Word there will be a place where you can specify where to store autorecover files. Right now it sounds like it's pointing to somewhere that doesn't exist.
