Help - Stuck in Verifying updated iPhone Software for about 30 min now

Is this expected? If so - when should I stop and start over?
thx

I have this same issue, and have had it before. When the last update was released my phone became a paperweight and discovered it was my PC. I have no issues syncing and backing up on this PC, it's only when I have to update the firmware or restore it. For some reason the USB port cuts out midway through the update and the phone gets stuck in the "connect to itunes" screen and will not restore. When I hook it up to my work PC, no problems. Except that the phone will not except any backup files I have on my work PC. So basically I have to start fresh, whick blows!!!!
Like an idiot, I forgot about my past experience and updated last night, same story. Came into work today and restored it. I synced the iphone with my work PC on Friday and of course it's showing no back up file, my last one is from September and it doesn't work.
Bottom line, try another PC/MAC and u should be good, but don't expect it to restore.
Does anyone know if I can copy my backup file from my home PC, put it on my work PC, and attempt to restore it??? HELP!!!!!!

    Help would be greatly appreciated:
    I'm 'upgrading' to iOS 5.1, and the download seems to have gone fine. But iTunes has been stuck on "Verifying Updated iPhone Software" for about 4 hours. How do I fix this?

    HEY APPLE
    A reply to this sure would be appreciated!
    I have the exact same issue on my iPhone 4S and I am now restoring, hopefully successfully and without losing everything.  I sure hope iCloud actually works for all of my apps!!!

  • "Verifying updated iPhone software" message for 4 hours now, please help!

    I'm trying to update to 1.1.1 for 4 hours now, and after downloading and extracting the "Verifying updated iPhone software . . ." message doesn't disappear, nor does it advance or anything.
    my phone has never been hacked in any way nor have there been any 3rd party things installed. I signed up as a new at&t customer on day 2 of the iPhone release and never had any trouble till now.
    I'm currently overseas and won't be back for the next month. so I've been using me iPhone as an iPod and mail device (wherever I have wireless access) since at&t isn't working here.
    could that be why it is not verifying the software and "stuck" in this mode for more than 4 hours now?
    I haven't gotten any of the error messages that are mentioned in the other threads, but I'm afraid to disconnect it, as I'm not sure what's going to happen.
    Please help!

    never mind. I disconnected it, had to restore it to factory settings, but it all came back and now it's working with the new udpate!

  • I am updating my iPhone4s with the most recent OS7.3software update and its been almost 3 hrs now and it has not completed its update. It is still " verifying updated iPhone software. How long does it take for the update to be completed. Thanks

    Well the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
    The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
    Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
    Good Luck

    Is there any solutions yet. I'm also having this problem for almost a month now. I'm using two Macbook Pro Mountain Lion and Yosemite, two iPads and iphone 5s. All updated. I use Apps that needed to be updated. Well, I try to purchase a trial version a month ago and I want to buy it now but always say I have a billing problem. Also, I have new devices with Apps that has to the Appstore, some are free but also give me the same headaches. I tried all the solutions posted on this forum, also tried other solutions, obviously it did not work at all. Does Apple hear about this? Settings > Store and signed out/signed in did not work for me. Please respond.

    I've had my iPhone 4 for about 4 months now, and suddenly some apps aren't working. They open and appear to work, but as soon as you try to do something it doesn't load. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it. I also force shut down my phone. I synced it to iTunes. Nothing is working. Does anyone know what I can do?

    Basic troubleshooting steps oultlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    You need to go through all steps in succession until your problem is solved.  If going through ALL these steps fails to resolve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • My ipod 4g has been going very slow! I want to restart it but my power button is broken. Please help it's Ben going very slow for about 2 months now.

    My iPod 4G has been going very slow! I want to restart it but my power button is broken. Please help it's been going slow for the past month. It's even slow as o type this message.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. All your wifi and bluetooth preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Hi, so I've had my iPhone 5 for about a month now and when it's connected to my home net work, the Internet is slow and when it's not connected to that, why does it say its 3G instead if 4G, I don't know if its to do with my SIM card

    Why does my iPhone 5 say its on 3G?

    Is the iPhone running slow on other wifi networks?
    Does your carrier support 4G/LTE? You can check here: http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
    If they do then are you in an area of coverage?(check with your carrier)

  • I've downloaded the ios7 to my iphone but it didn't verify so I connected my iphone to itunes and updated it .. it's now stuck half way through saying 'updating iphone software' it's been like that for 40 mins .. should I be worried?

    I've downloaded the ios7 software to my iphone but it didn't let me install it over air so I connected my iphone to itunes and updated it .. it's now stuck half way through saying 'updating iphone software' it's been like that for 40 mins .. should I be worried?

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to activate after the update, and the server is getting overloaded. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

    A Restore first downloads a new copy of iOS to your computer. On a slow Internet connection this can take a long time. How fast is your connection? How long would you expect it to take to download 900 MB?
    That's assuming nothing is interfering with the download. Some firewalls and antivirus programs will block the download or slow it down. So you should temporarily disable your security software. Security software can also block the update after the iOS download is complete.

  • Went to update my software for my ipad 2 and it has been stuck on the conncet to itunes screen for hours. Can anyone help?

    I went to update my software for my iPad 2 and my ipad has been frozen for hours on the connect to itunes screen. I unplugged it and tried to recover it but it doesn't work. When I connect it back to my computer it says ITunes has detected an ipad in recovery mode. You must restore this ipad before it can be used with itunes.

  • I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S. It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S, 16 GB to the most recent version (8.1?).  I don't know what I was updating from, because I can't access that, but it was whatever was installed on it (I got it about a year ago, so probably 6.something). 
    It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync with my macbook plus, which is what I have always sync'd it to.  (I backed it up and sync'd it right before I tried to update the software.)
    Since it originally froze almost 3 hours ago, it shows a white screen with the apple on it and a line underneath.  When I try to sync with my laptop, it says it needs me to enter a passcode on the phone, which I can't enter because the screen is frozen.  So I'm unable to access the iPhone portion of iTunes.
    I have tried to turn it off, with no luck.  I have tried rebooting my laptop and syncing, but I still get the same result.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    I really wanted to wait to update the software, but I was having internet connectivity issues for the past 3 weeks, and Sprint suggested updating the phone's software.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
