Updating issue :(

Guys please help me !! Whenever i try to update , they show me the steps to update my phone. They will ask me to disconnect my xperia arc and reconnect it through media transfer mode . But whenever i reach that step , my phone disconnects and the pc suite can't find my phone. It seems that whenever I'm in Media Transfer Mode , the suite can't detect my phone and in the end i can't update 😧 Please revert and help me guys ! Anyone !  I want the update desperately 😧
