I did do a search before starting a new message, but none of the update problems I subsequently read about came up. As I read them, I remembered that the process of doing the update did not go perfectly smoothly. The device initialization did take a long time, but it did happen. The last step is where things got sticky. It just seemed to be going on and on-- for about an hour. So, I tapped a key on the device, and then things started happening. It seems that I needed to respond to some things pertaining to certain apps-- ok this or that, etc.. (e.g., allowances). Once I did that, I think that the device rebooted and a data restore occurred. At first it looked like it didn't restore all the data-- the clock wasn't right, my new scheme wasnt showing. However, then, after what might have been another reboot-- can't quite recall-- all was good. It never did prompt me that I could disconnect, but since it was back to normal, I decided to do it, and it was OK.
So, the update process could use some tweaking, based on my experience-- I hope that this info will help some of you who are having problems with it.
