Update still holding
Received yesterday new laptop computer with windows 7 starter. Went on line last night & all right. Today I got a message in the sense of "when you next start your computer Windows will install updates.
Stop & started the machine and went to do something else.
Currently, there is a background on the screen, the 'busy' circle spinning & the following message: Please do not power off or unplug your machine. Installation of update 37 43.
There is a small hard drive activity (not much), but there was no change at all to the message at least the last 2 hours. Rebooted the machine a few hours & haven't looked for messages.
There are no icons on the screen & mouse does not work. What should I do? Fortuneately I created recovery disks yesterday.
Finally after another hour or 3 I removed the battery (was the only way out) and then restarted. After that 2nd reboot starts & it seems to work OK!
Now look at Linux :-)

Help and Support Update, still holding
My computer is running Windows Vista. He tried to install a recent Windows recommended update that was supposed to update the help files. Installation is stuck at 100%, but I don't know if it's over. Now, whenever I restart it sits on configuring updates forever. I don't know if he can never 100% Setup because I fall asleep before it is done, and when I wake up it is on my login page. However, when I connect and then try to use 'Help and Support', I get the following message, "help and Support can not open because Windows Update installs new help content. You can start Help again when the update is complete. "It's been 4 days and the update is not complete! Is there a way to stop the installation for my computer is not constantly trying to set up and I get locked out for hours when I restart?

Hi there, people
I can't update the UPDATE in HOLD (S) on my 2 Mini iPad!
I had a similar problem with my iPhone 5, but it has been resolved.
I checked all THE information of payment with two iTunes & App stores, both are updated and current.
I have NO unfinished download from ANY iTunes or the App stores.
Why this happens @ all?
"Apple changes their iTunes/App Store (s) payment (s) / policies" or "agreements @ the beginning of each calendar year.
If so, why don't Apple NOT send an email to inform or users to update their payment information?

I ran the system analysis tool and without result updates still won't work.
* Original title: Windows 7 updates
It seems I'm not the only one having problems with the updates of Windows 7. I ran the system analysis tool and without result updates still won't work. Is it possible miss me a the question .dll file not showing? I googled about it and still nothing.
Appreciate any info someone might have on this
Are there specific error messages or error report numbers given when it fails, or is it just apparently running, but does not find anything?
If it is running, but apparently not finding anything, just leave it for a while 'loooooong. It was reported a few recent Wu take many hours to find anything, esp if she has a lot of updates to find and install.
If its reports an error/message number, what (exactly) do report?
Something to try:
Update your anti-virus software and run a full scan. Then:
If its doesn't work, check that service 'Windows Update' and 'Background Intelligent Transfer' are listed and running, according to the instructions of the ' how to check if services are running' section of this article - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2730071 IF you have actually the error referred to in article, try the FixIt.
If WU and BITS services are listed and running, try to reset the Windows Update components - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/971058
If still no joy, run the update utility - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Update-troubleshooter what makes as that report?

I tried to download macOS Sierra on my macbook pro iOS 10 for a few hours and it still has several hours to go. Should I just download the Capitan instead? All sites tell me that I should update my Safari or I wouldn't even through this disorder.
You must complete the download of Sierra. It is a very large file and will take some time, especially on a slow Internet connection.

iPhone 7 restore from iCloud still holding
Hello, I have a new iPhone 7. Recently, I had saved my old iPhone 6 and wanted to restore the new iPhone 7 of my backup. I started the process of restoring the day I got my phone and it of been two weeks and is apparently still restore. I often have my phone on and loading and very good WiFi connection, but the restoration has not yet completed. I have some new updates to iOs which must be installed but that cannot be done until the restoration is complete. What should I do? When I look at my phone, it seems that I'm not missing any information. Any suggestions?
He says that it restores from a backup on your lock screen, is thus that which is telling you that he has not finished?
You have the ability to stop the restore process when you go to settings > iCloud > Backup? If so, then stop it. It could be an application that has not been fully downloaded, or other media that has not yet downloaded. I got my iPhone do that once in a while and like you, could see nothing which has not been restored. Maybe it's stuck saying it restore even if it's really over. A restore of backup should not take more than a few hours at most.
If you do not see a way to stop the restore, then reset your unit: hold the home and power buttons at the same time and continue to hold until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the reset is complete, the lock screen is displayed.
See you soon,.
