Why isnt the new software installing?

I just downloaded and installed the new iphone 4 software/firmware. i synced my iphone and it made it about 2/3 of the way downloaded and froze. on my phone it has the apple logo and the loading bar about 2/3 of the way. on my itunes it has an 'updating iphone firmare...' bar and its about 1/8 of the way. it wont let me disconnect my device. whats up?

It's still updating the software.  Why would you want to disconnect it?  Do you want to brick your device?  It's not going to be usable until it finishes loading.
Try temporarily disabling your anti-virus and firewall software to see if the install process moves forward.
There have also been numerous reports of the app store being down, it's possible that whatever is causing the app store outage is affecting the signing of the iOS files and affecting your ability to restore your device.  Notice I said possible not that this is the reason.

    Why is the new software cropping pictures on both iPad and iPhone

    There shouldn't be more than 1 GB "Other" (usually less). There is corrupted data or metadata on the phone. Restore your phone in iTunes using a backup.  Rarely, you have to restore as new

  • Why did the new Ffox install in \Apps\Data\ instead of \Program Files\? what a mess.

    Using XP, I had reservations about upgrading, but Ffox Help refused to allow questions about upgrading, until I did :-(
    Instead of replacing the existing installation, it added a second, messing up my start menu, which still runs the older version.
    But the new version has disabled without explanation or advice, about half of my extensions/add-ons/plug-ins, including AVG, my security program.
    In addition, the Add-ons Mgr >> More links just take me stupidly to the AVG website with no clue what the problem is, nor how to describe my compatibility need to vendor. (Mozilla probably knows the problem with each estranged vendor, but did not choose to pass that on in the error message.)
    In addition, the Ffox page that brought me (Add-ons disabled by upgrade) to 'ask a question', indicated (by offering to install 3.6), that all of this hassle was known before I was forced into it, and I should have known by telepathy that 7.01 was all an avoidable mistake if Mozilla had allowed my question without requiring me to install 7 first ;-( {I know you are sorry. Please open the upgrade problems page if you value your reputation for intelligence.}

    Thank you for your prompt reply.
    I am a little confused. I thought it was not supposed to install without Admin priv., which should have required Admin. or not installed at all. (sigh)
    The whole Add-on, Extension, Plug-in thing seems a bit complex, but I now gather that Add-ons are adverts for additional software, & there is an Add-on Manager that also handles Extensions & plug-ins (difference?). Half of my dozen extensions are disabled, and won't update. A third of my 2 dozen plug-ins are up-to-date, 2 thirds requiring messy research to even determine if they are supported any more (?).
    Would it help for me to uninstall either 7 or 3.6 or both under Admin user login?
    And since I have doubts of the usefulness of many of these add-ons, will I have to do all the Mozilla research before I uninstall 7, to avoid getting locked out of the forum again? (or is there a way around that website problem? or perhaps leave 7 installed, but for AVG safety reasons just use the 3.6 for now?)
    Is there a comparison list of 3.6 & 7 features I have not been able to find?
    (Perhaps I can just uninstall 7 and forget it for now.)

  • Why isnt the new nano(7th) workout friendly? Wheres' the clip?

    My nano 6th generation went in the washer, is there anyway to fix it without buying a 220$ new one? Id get the new nano, but theres no clip, kinda worthless.

    I'm sure lots of people will be along with water resistant cases with clips.
    You can do an out-of-warranty replacement at your nearest Apple Store for $65/$75. You will get a service replacement.

  • Why is the new software using 3.7 gig on Other??

    Updated my phone last night removing photos and adding new music, all was fine and I had a good 2 or 3 gig spare. Tonight I update my software as per the notice from Applie saying it's available, and now I'm using 3.7 gig on Other? What on earth have they just put on my phone that uses more gig than I use on my apps???!?!?!?

  • I keep getting a "Not enough storage to back-up my device" message since I upgraded to the new software. Short of purchasing more memory, and deleting some content, are there any other options?

    What are my options for increasing storage capacity besides purchasing more memory, or deleting existing content. The new software install used up much of my storage capacity and the message is driving me crazy. Any ideas?? Thanks!

    There are two kinds of storage messages that appewr on iOS devices. Your question seems at odds with your description so there might be some confusion here.
    If the storage refers to not enough for an icloud back up then you need to purchase more icloud space or turn off iCloud backup. You can backup using iTunes on your computer with paying for additional iCloud storage.
    if the storage refers to that on your iOS device as in there is not enough storage to update, then you have two options and neither option involves adding more storage since the amount of storage on an iOS devoce is fixed. One option is to delete stuff from your device to free up more space. The second option is to complete the update while your devoce is connected to your computer running the latest version of iTunes. When you do that the update is downloaded to your computer and extracted there so it doesn't require as much free space on your iOS device.

  • Why wont the new version of aperture work with Nik complete software. I uninstalled and re installed Nik and it still wont work.

    Why wont the new version of aperture work with Nik complete software. I uninstalled and re installed Nik and it still wont work.

    I believe that Nik is having trouble adhering to Apple's "identified developer" requirements.
    there is a FAQ on Nik site regarding problems with their installers.
    a guess.

    Hey so i have a version of a mac i think it is kinda old, it is the all white one i got it like 4 years ago maybe. I got a new ipod recently and i cannot downloade any music onto it. this is because i tried to download the new itunes which it said i needed and now when i try to install it. It says i need a new software so i try to download that and is says i need the mac app or something. but it says i need the new software to get that. so i went onto itunes and clicked the apple and pressed new software and it goes onto this little thing that says my internet is alright but my server has not been connecting. My computer is connected to my school and they updated the server thing and now it wont connect, so i can't win. how do i fix this and download everything i neew?

    First things first: Pull down the Apple Menu and select "about this Mac" and tell us what version of OS X is currently on your computer.

    Try a different camera app.  Camera Plus is a good one and there are many others.

    Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

  • ITunes.  After installing new software, what does "restore iPod" mean?  Does it mean to restore all games and data to the new software or does it mean to "undo" the software update?

    iTunes.  After backing iPod to computer and installing new software, what does "restore iPod" mean?  Does it mean to restore all games and data to the new software or does it mean to "undo" the software update?

    You can restore your iPod to "New" which will erase every thing and install fresh iOS software or you can restore to a particular backup that you have previously created. In this case, your iPod Apps & data will appear as per the backup. Note that some content is not in a backup and will need to be synced back to the iPad from the iTunes music library or from, for example, the iPhoto photo library.

  • Graphic card problem maybe? Since when I have changed the hard drive to my macbook pro and I installed all the new softwares, my mac is very slow and the screen gives crazy pictures,could maybe be the graphic card, does anybody have experienced this?

    after a restart it works for a time, but always slow. I went to the Applestore this afternoon and the made a check and said it would be the logicboard and they would have to change it for CHF 600 and it would be ready in 10 - 15 days

    Hi there,
    Wondering if you might know?  I don't have enough space to update the new software on iPad.  So my facetime isn't working anymore, this is prob why. Seems I have to delete like all the games/apps we have to do so.  Will I lose the progress data/levels in the games? But how do I back up the games data?
    Please help.  Scared to delete them to update and then not have the space to restore them and if I get them again will the levels/progress be gone?
    Thanks Rachel

    Connect your device to iTunes and do the update through iTunes. Using a computer takes much less space on your device than doing the update on your device.

  • I just installed the latest version of iTunes to get the updates and new software on my iPod but it hasn't updated my iPod or put any of the new software on there either.  How to I get the software to sync onto my iPod?

    I just installed the latest version of iTunes to get the updates and new software on my iPod but it hasn't updated my iPod or put any of the new software on there either.  How to I get the software to sync onto my iPod?

    Are you sure it's not 6.1.6?  If it is, that is the latest iOS version that will work on a 4th generation iPod Touch.  Later versions require a 5G iPod which has twice as much RAM.
