Updating to 1.1.1 : frozen?

Hi all!
I am just updating the iphone to the latest firmware but I'm wondering if the updating process is frozen or not?
Itunes says: Updating iPhone software but the bar is fixed since 10 minutes ago while on the iphone i have the apple logo and the revolving circle on the bottom going on.....
Any suggestions? How long does the firmware take?
Thank you
Emanuele

See if this page helps : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097 - it mentions a frozen progress bar when updating, and describes putting the iPad into recovery mode and restoring the iPad via your computer's iTunes

I am unable to update my apps in IPAD1. The App icon lists the available updates but seems to be frozen.

I am unable to update my apps in IPAD 1. The App icon lists the updates but appears to be frozen. The individual app icons show the space where "waiting" usually appears and do not work. If I touch the apps icons, I get a message that states..."Unable to download. Do you want to try again." (or something similar).

See if this helps. Reboot your router - unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again. Reboot/reset your iPad as well and then try again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then try updating the software again.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.

The software update on my Mac has frozen it completely

The software update on my Mac has frozen it completely at the grey screen. I have tried everything to exit it and nothing is working! Help please!!! I've tried alt command esc, forcing the computer to shut off then restart, letting the power drain, nothing. I can't get the computer to even give me the beach ball of doom, it's this grey circle of perpetual nothing.

Hello Heatherb90,
It sounds like you are unable to boot your computer after a recent software update. I would use the following troubleshooting from the article named:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2570
Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables
Note: "Peripheral devices" refers to external devices other than what came with your Mac, such as hard drives, printers, or hubs that you connect via a USB or FireWire cable.
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Disconnect all peripheral devices such as external hard drives or printers (leave only the display, a keyboard, and mouse connected).
Disconnect any Ethernet cables.
Start up your Mac.
If you can start up this way, one or more of your peripheral devices (or installed software related to the device) is probably causing the gray screen issue. Connect one device, then restart your Mac to test for the issue. Repeat the process until you locate the device at issue. Make sure the device is powered if it needs to be to operate correctly. Check with the manufacturer of the device for support or possible software driver or firmware updates that may be available for the device. Try a different cable with the device if possible (such as a different USB or FireWire cable).
Note: If you have multiple peripheral devices and the issue only occurs when they are all connected, but not when each device is the only peripheral connected, see the Additional Information section below.
If you are using a desktop Mac with a third-party keyboard and/or mouse device, and the issue still occurs, try starting up with an Apple keyboard and mouse connected instead. Try starting with no keyboard and mouse connected, then connect them after start up. Also, try a different USB port on your Mac.
If the gray screen issue persists with no devices connected, go to the next section (with the peripherals still disconnected).
Start with this troubleshooting and work your way down the article as needed.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Am trying to update 16 apps, all have frozen, what do I do

Have been trying to update 16 apps on iPad 1, all saying updating, all faded out and frozen, nothing happening, have tried shutting down and restarting, deleted some apps to free up space, still nothing, do not want to delete the apps, what do I do?

Try resetting the iPad by holding the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears.
If that corrects the freeze, do the updates ONE at a time.

I have 8 apps that, when I tried to update, are now stuck on "installing" in the box that says update. every time I try to update another app, it gets frozen like this as well. I was able to quit all apps, but these, as they do not respond. Any ideas?

Reset your iPad by holding the home and on/off buttons together for 6 or 7 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then update your apps one at a time. Do not start the next app until the current one downloads and finishes installing.

I have 5 apps that needed updating. I updated and now apps are "frozen" in updating stage. They won't even delete after I hit delete button. What to do?

Reset time, press and hold both the power and home buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own. Check the downloads.

Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes.

I am trying to buy an app. I had to update my credit card info. It won't take the update and the screen is frozen - I cannot go back into the app store.

I am trying to buy an app on my Iphone5. I needed to update my credit card info. It wont take the updated info and the screen is now frozen. I cannot go back into the app store

It's a network issue, not an account balance issue. Troubleshoot your network or just restart your iPod and/or router, try connecting to the Store a bit later, or try the download in iTunes on your computer and then sync the purchase to your device.

'Updating message list' from hotmail FROZEN - Please help!

My mom just purchased a new mac - I've purchased Outlook for her so she can easily download her hotmail messages. I've been cruising along, downloading the 17,511 messages she has on the server (I know!!) and it stopped halfway through. In the bottom righthand
corner of the Outlook mailbox it says' Updating message list' and then has a bar which usually is filling up as it pulls messages off the server - but now nothing is happening and it seems stuck on 0/7892 (that's the text on the right of the bar). Help! Why
is it stuck? I've done the whole process twice and it seems to get stuck here. I even checked online to see if I could delete some troubled file, but can't seem to go back that far on the server (even though it lists all 17K messages (as a number next to the
Inbox tab - showing it has record of them, but where are they??) Thank you so much for any help you can give me!!!

Hi Michi,
First, check your internet connection because the low server connectivity can make such a frozen disturbance in Outlook. Apart from it there can lots of reasons behind this disturbance:
Antivirus Programs: In most of the cases, these antivirus scanning programs pretend emails as malwares and does not allow Outlook to receive it.
Large Attachments: If someone sending large attachments as email then its also make Outlook froze up. So to overcome from this, stop downloading large emails.
Corruption in Outlook Data File: Corrupt Outlook data file is one of popular reason behind the disturbance like this. Use scanpst.exe to fix the corruption issue of Outlook database and
then again try to download emails. Hopefully it will work!!!
Problems in Outlook are not just limited to the above given reasons, there is list of errors and causes in Outlook data file and their resolution.

Software update for torch to7.1 frozen phone

hi,i tried to download the new update via wi-fi but it has frozen on backing up data and i cannot access my phone, tried connecting to blackberry desktop but wont connect either,can anyone help???

(Credit JSanders)
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.
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

Thinkvantage update INSTALL seems to be frozen

Ouch. New machine. X100e Win7 Pro 32-bit model 3508CTO. Did the setup, connected to home wireless, did the Windows patching, started Thinkvantage. So far so good.
Thinkvantage tells me that I need to do an update for Thinkvantage itself. OK, no problem. I click the button, the download takes just a few moments, then it starts the install.
The installation seems to be frozen. It's been about a half hour now.
The install bar initially moved along very quickly. After about a minute though, it stopped at about 45% (I'm estimating, there are no numbers). It's been stuck there for about a half hour. (The text on the bar says "Installing Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox...")
What do you think? Should I just crash it and start over?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

OK, so I picked up the phone and called 24-hour Tech Support. (I know, I know.)
Anyway, so after they asked me about a hundred personal questions that had nothing to do with my computer or my problem (sigh), they finally answered my question ... yeah, I should just crash it and start over.
Then came the surprise suggestion: The guy says to me, "what you should do now is uninstall ThinkVantage and re-install it from scratch". Ouch.
After hanging up, I rebooted and simply started the app up again. It does NOT seem to be the newly updated version. I say that because it asked me to update itself again.
Searching for updates... finished
Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox - Version 10
Update Available - Version 55
OK, let's try it again. Bzzzt. Frozen again. (The download went fine again, the install started up normally again, and then it froze at the exact same place. Again.) Crash, reboot, restart it up again ... yup it still wants me to upgrade to 55.
Of course, I haven't even built my first recovery disk and I'd sure hate to have that FAIL on me sometime when I really need it just 'cause I was too lazy to do the uninstall /reinstall thing. And I guess I'm 45 versions behind.
Annoying, but I guess that's what I'll do.
[UPDATE: I actually went all the way back by doing a Factory Reset. Afterwards, I let Windows update itself (not much of an option there), but I canceled out of the Windows Live and the Java update. I then ran the ThinkVantage update. Success. The progress bar still stops at about 45%, but every ten seconds or so something flashes across the screen. After about 60 seconds, the progress bar disappears, the FINISHED screen displays, and then the ThinkVantage startup screen pops up on top of that (even before you have a chance to close the first one). But the bottom line is: I'm now running Version 55 of the thing, and *now* I'm gonna let Java update itself and everything else.]
[POST-MORTEM: I have no idea what caused the installs to keep crashing. A conflict with the latest versions of Java, or some other Microsoft update? Maybe some obscure setting I'd set (e.g., I always turn off indexing as one of the first things I do)? Frankly, I just don't know, but I'm past it. Now I'm off to try to actually figure out how to *use* ThinkVantage, and maybe create some factory reset DVDs.]
