Touch Frozen during update

I recently attempted to update my iPod Touch (to 3.1.2 I think). When it started, it said preparing iPod for update and the iPod showed the apple logo with a blank status bar under it. I went to bed to let it finish. I didn't unplug, tamper, fiddle, or mess with anything while this was going on.
The next morning, the iPod still showed the empty status bar. The computer said that there was an error while updating the iPod.
Now my iPod is stuck in this update status bar screen. I've tried the button combos I could remember: hold the top button for a while; hold the home button for a while; push both (i think that's the screenshot command though). Nothing worked.
All that I can think of doing is waiting for the LCD screen (which won't turn off and constantly displays this status bar) to drain the battery. Unfortunately, this is one of the rare instances where I actually had a full charge on my iPod so I assume it would probably take a long long time to do this.
Instead of just waiting forever, I wanted to see if I could get any help here from someone who has had this problem or knows something that might work.
Thanks in advance.

I also received this message when i updated my iPod touch I got really annoyed and it shows the iTunes logo and the plug-in. I plug it into the computer and it just gives me an error code which is (0xE800000A) and it shows up I uninstall and install so many times and updated USB connections but still doesn't work

    ipad 4 frozen during update ios 8.1.3. - did anybody know how to restart (or reset) my ipad4 from black screen with white apple logo?

    Hi there did you end up getting this resolved?  I have the same exact same issue with my Ipad 4 when updating to 8.1.3....frozen on the apple logo.  Tried resetting as advised by other users but just goes back to the same logo.  Tried connecting to iTunes but device is not picked up at all.  Left it over night to run flat hoping charging might kick start something....but when I put on the charger it shows the battery charge icon but won't actually charge it.  It's really doin my head in trying to find a fix - cheers Morgan

  • 60Gb IPod Touch  frozen while updating

    IPod is frozen 3/4 way through software update.  Next steps?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!

    There are two methods of recovery for you to try:
    One:
    Open Blackberry Desktop Software & Connect your device with PC using USB cable, without inserting battery.
    You will get three option Retry, Update Or Cancel, then click on update.
    Once it is to the stage of the update "initializing handheld", then insert battery.
    If this does not work, and you remain stuck on the backing up the Social Feeds database, go to the second method below.
    Secondly:
    Start your BlackBerry in Safe mode.  Article ID: KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Modehttp://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB17877
    Connect to the BlackBerry Desktop Software and allow your handheld to connect. If you are prompted to upgrade, cancel the upgrade for later.
    IF you cannot connect or your Desktop Software does not recognize your device while in Safe Mode, please follow the directions here to force the detect:  Article ID: KB10144 How to force the detection of the BlackBerry smartphone using Application Loader
    Go to Device > delete > SELECT DATA > select to delete both the Social Feeds and Smart Card databases, and follow the remaining prompts to complete it. 
    Now, you can return and click to upgrade the device through the Desktop Manager, or reboot the BlackBerry in normal mode and continue the over the air upgrade.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • IPod touch Stuck during update.

    Hi, so i have an iPod touch which had 4.0 firmware on it (I think it was just 4.0, maybe 4.0.1 or whatever) and i was trying to update to 4.1 (It isn't hard, so i assumed there wouldn't be any problems, as i have never had any problems in the past) but this time, there was. When the bar at the top of iTunes got to pretty much the end, just a little bit short of it, and the same with the bar on the iPod itself, it just froze. I think i left it at that point for maybe half an hour or something, and it didn't change atall.
    So i thought, no big deal, and restarted it. Same problem again. Since then, in the past couple of days, i have tried about 5 times, and have also read about a DFU mode or something? I tried to use that, but couldn't get into it (well, i dont think i did) but nothing worked.
    Currently my iPod is sitting with the connect to iTunes screen, i cant get out of this, and have tried pretty much everything i can find to get out, but none have worked.
    Also, i am kinda unsure as to what firmware i am actually now on, (probably none :L)
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, and i am very sorry for the wall of text, but i am getting frustrated, and i never realised how much i actually use my iPod until i cant use it.

    Did it get solved..
    please reply..
    i have the same thing.. help me

    Hi iphoneozqld,
    If your Apple TV appears to have stopped updating, I would recommend a restart, and if issues continue, a restore:

    Can anyone provide me with a link to the OS X bash Update 1.0 for OS X Lion Server v10.7.5, apparently there is a specific update. I have searched the Apple site without success, I have found the Mavericks, Mountain Lion and Lion version but not the server versions (which do exist, see Apple security updates)
    With Lion and later there is no such thing as a server version of the operating system, this is unlike the previous Mac OS X 10.6 aka. Snow Leopard which did have a specific server version of the operating system.
    So, in reality one only needs Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks versions. The server software is merely an application these days.

  • HT6114 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.

    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.

  • IPod touch frozen on screen showing apple symbol and usb cable.

    Pod touch frozen on screen showing apple symbol and usb cable. Happened during a update attempt.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.
