8.1 update stuck iPhone 6 Plus

Updated to 8.1 earlier on my 6+ didn't go well:  phone was running hot, documents weren't synching, handoff didn't seem to be working right.  No worries, I'll just do a DFU restore.
Started the restore and it's stuck.  No movement in the progress bar for a half hour now.  The update log just stopped updating:
[20:28:54.0714] <Restore Device 0x608000323de0>: operation 13 progress 36
[20:28:54.0724] ASR progress: Sending payload
Nothing after that.
Any ideas?  It's plugged into my MBP but it's not moving...

Posting in case anyone runs into this.  Called AC they had me shutdown iTunes mid update, restart the MBP, and try again.  The second attempt worked fine, and the phone was able to restore.

  • Freezing after 8.2 update on iPhone 6 plus

    VVarious system apps are freezing at different  times. I have done a soft reset each time and it resolves the issue, but it's getting to where I'm having to do this quite a good bit. Apple there is a glitch in the phone settings most freezing is happening with the phone part like I erased voicemails deleted the rest then cleared deleted. IPhone then crashed and froze did a soft reset and working again. Almost like a processer overclock or something. I will update if this resolves itself but have been a Apple user since the start and this appears to be a widespread issue.

    Thank you for your  suggestion but I think all of us has tried this . I'm not having as diffult issues as others , mine was updated on my private VPN using 100 mb Internet ssevice, fastest in the market, This mainly applies to the phone carrier settings and that is something we will have to wait on Apple to update. I talked to Apple tech and they said they were working on a fix for some carrier settings, mostly people using off the wall cell phone carriers are affected the most. It's a lack of communication between iPhone and iTunes to the network carrier, that's all they had to say for now... Thanks again

  • Iphone 6 plus stuck in recovery mode

    Hello
    I wanted to restore my fairly new 6plus to "as new" as i found that when i originally restored from backup battery life wasn't the greatest.
    I followed all the necessary steps and when i hit restore in iTunes, it started searching for iPhone and remained there.
    I tried all methods of holding down home and power button etc. but still nothing
    Can anyone offer any advise as yo how i can fix this or do i need to take it in to apple.
    Thank you

    While trying to update my IPhone 6 Plus to IOS 8 through iTunes the file became corrupt my IPhone was stuck on recovery mode. I had tried everything but nothing seemed to worked. I gave up and decided to call apple for help, they had me on hold for about 20 minutes. While waiting I had found the program Reiboot and it saved my IPhone (I was still on hold). If none of the things mentioned before me work for you do the following
    1) Go to http://www.tenorshare.com/product/reiboot.html
    2) Download reiboot for Mac/PC depending on your preference.
    3) Install then run the program.
    4) Connect your IPhone/IPad/IPod then click exit recovery and it should return you device back to how it was before you tried to update.
    NOTE:If you want to try updating again do it through your device it worked out for me.

  • IPhone 6 Plus no longer shows time on the lock screen after iOS 8.2 update

    Question as seen above. after updating my iPhone 6 Plus to iOS 8.2, it no longer shows the current time on the lock screen. It also takes a couple of seconds for it to load the status bar at the top of the screen. Restoring from iTunes didn't fix it. Please help!

  • Iphone 6 plus ios 8.2 update camera wont focus

    i just recently updated my iphone 6 plus to ios 8.2 however the camera won't focus i've noticed a few people are having this same issue. what should i do ?
    i've already contacted my local apple authorized dealer however they want me to go five days without my phone. do you guys see this as being reasonable
    and did i mention my phone is still underwarrenty.

    The problem is much more complex than is there a smudge on the lens or is your finger covering the lens. It appears to be iOS 8.2 related as the issue coincided perfectly with my upgrade to iOS 8.2 on my 6 plus. The focus is now fixed to approximately 12 inches. Landscapes are incredibly blurry. If I tap to focus the lighting box will come up but it will not focus. Reboots and changes to HDR do not fix it. Changes in mode (i.e. slo-mo, time-lapse, video) have the same problem.

  • I tried to update my iphone 4 to i07 but it's now just stuck at half way on the loading screen and I cannot get it to do anything

    So like a moron, I made the mistake of finally updating my Iphone 4's OS to the new one that Apple has been bugging the crap out of me about for months now. The problem is, my phone is now stuck on the loading screen and I cannot get it to do *ANYTHING*. It won't connect to my PC, Itunes won't let me get on it without the pin lock being entered on the phone which I CANNOT do because the phone is stuck on the update screen.. and Apple won't talk to me for help because I cannot get them the serial number which I CANNOT do because my phone is stuck on the update screen!
    Is there no way to just take the battery out or something? I looked for screws but they seem to be proprietary (because of course they are, because Apple) How do I force it to get off the update screen?!

    If you open it to take out the battery from the iPhone then you forfeit all service for whatever reason from Apple in the future.
    Have you attempt to connect it to your computer and then restore it from iTunes on your computer?

  • IPhone 6 Plus Stuck in Portrait Mode Only

    Today, my iPhone 6 Plus stopped switching to landscape mode and only works in portrait.  The glitch is even there when watching a video in, say, the CNN or IGN Apps.
    I know the iPad has a switch to lock the screen rotation, but didn't think the phone had this? 
    Has anyone else had trouble with their new phone being stuck in portrait?

    For me, it was as simple as that lock button, which I'd not noticed before, but yes, a hard restart usually fixes most issues.  I did a restart first, so it spooked me when even that didn't work; which is why I posted.
    I've also downloaded 8.2 and feel that it has fixed a few bugs I'd noticed.  love the phone too.  My case finally came, it's the Griffin Reveal; picked it up from that big online retailer. 
    The Plus has had some tough press for some reason, but I love it!
