Nexus 4, Stuck in Updating, Tried a few things already

Updating Nexus 4 to 5.0.1 (I think it was).
Stuck updating.
Tried a few things:
1) Tried the "Wipe cache partition" already and it didn't work.
2) Tried downloading wondershare photo recovery (the photos are the main thing I am worried about recovering).
It couldn't connect or find the drive. When I do the "Apply update from adb" option, it makes a sound like it's connecting on my PC but it doesn't show up as a drive.
3) Tried some other miscellaneous things to get it to show up as a drive but I am not super tech savvy so I might have done them wrong.
4) Tried rebooting and just waiting a long time (overnight).

I don't mind wiping it if I can get the photos off of it first.
It seems like I would be ok if I could get it to show up as a drive but without being able to do that...so if anyone has specific suggestions on how to do that? I can follow instructions but I am not that tech savvy.

Thanks, in advance, for any help you might be able to render :)
