Q: My update stopped in the middle of the process?

A:   During the Pocket POD  update using the Line 6 Monkey software on a Windows Vista (32-bit and  64-bit) machine, the update may stop and will not continue.  This may  occur on certain USB ports.  This issue can be verified if the progress  bar stops partway through the update.  Note: If the update  does stop, the system will not respond to requests to shutdown  the computer, even after force quitting monkey.  After disconnecting the Pocket POD, the system  can be shutdown.  The Pocket POD remains  in boot mode after this occurs.  Reconnecting to Monkey and  re-installing the firmware update does recover the Pocket POD.  Please  make sure to test the Pocket POD on every USB port on your computer  while troubleshooting this issue.  Completely remove any USB  hubs, even if not in use.
