HELP!!!! Updating iphone 5s to the lastest IOS 8.1.1 has taken more than 2 hours

Updating iPhone 5s to IOS 8.1.1 and it is taking almost 2 hours to update. The bar is possibly at 85-90%. I think it has frozen.
Please advise.....

I think this could use a little clarification, Steve. You're correct that no data will be lost by forcing the reset, however, data may have already been lost if something has gone wrong, which may very well be the case here.

I am having this problem. At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2. I am not sure why this is happening.
My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
The problem mainly occurs with apps. I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them. The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage. It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup. With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up. The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete. This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
I have been wondering if others have had these same problems.

Do a
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

I just got an iPhone 5 32GB and i have backed up my old 3GS 32GB via itunes (20GB of data on there) and it is taking a very long time to restore to my iPhone5. Its taken more than 20 hours and says 12 hours remaining. The text "Time remaining" flickers.

I just got an iPhone 5 32GB and i have backed up my old 3GS 32GB via itunes (20GB of data on there) and it is taking a very long time to restore to my iPhone5. Its taken more than 20 hours and didnt complete.
The text "Time remaining ... hours" flickers.
I set it to start restoring from the 3GS backup yesterday at 1pm and the time remaining kept on increasing. I left it overnight and at 9am this morning the progress bar hadnt moved and it said 12 hours remaining.
I don't know why its taking so long. I unplugged it and it just set up as new phone. So i did a factory reset and tried again at 4pm and it is now 12am and it says 4 hours remaining and my computer occasionally flickers. (Its not a bad computer, 2 months old, i7, 6GB RAM, Heaps of HDD space). It also messes with google chrome and i cannot browse the web at all while it is trying to restore my iphone.
I have tried restarting my laptop and should i reinstall itunes? I simply dont see why it should take longer than 20 hours to copy over 20GB of data!
Can anyone help me?
Thank you

HT201272 Ever since I updated my iPad to the new iOS 6, my iPad has deleted the YouTube app that was already installed and I don't know how to get it back. How can I get it back??

^^ above in the title is my question.

you can't get the old you tube icon because apple deleted it. BUT you can download youtube app on the app store for free and its actually better and faster than the previous youtube app that you want. hope this helps!

I pay for a movie , i got charge and the movie has taken longer than one hour to load.

How quick is apple to change you and the movie is not sreaming .
<Subject Edited by Host>

Your internet is likely slow or other users are accessing internet content at the same time.
You need:
2.5 Mbps for SD
6 Mbps for 720p
8 Mbps for 1080p
Any slower and AppleTV has to buffer the movie before starting in order to prevent it sopping/starting during playback.
AppleTV does not stream in the sense you think - Netflix adapts quality to match internet speed - AppleTV doesn't and has fixed size rentals with fixed quality.

HT201232 I have called the support number given, was on hold for more than an hour and received quite unpleasant phone bill for trying to sort out AppStore mistake! Is there any other options of getting "support" apart from calling these telephone numbers

My account was charged for buying app that I actually didn't buy. I was trying to sort out these mistake by calling the support number given (Russia). There was no other options like sending an email or calling some other number. I was on hold for one hour and a half! Is that normal for Apple support??? So apart from being charged for the app I haven't given my permission to buy, I also got a phone bill for calling the only support number available. Where can I submit my complain and what could be done about it?
Thank you,
Natalia

There is an email way to do this. See here: https://getsupport.apple.com/ContactInfo.action
The Russian Federation is one of the countries listed under Other.

Are you using WiFi? if you are this will take a long time, switching to a wired connection will go much faster but as you have started I would not change now.

I have just updated my iphone 4 to the new ios 6.1, now I can not sync my music to my phone via my iTunes. Before I done the update I was able to put the songs on my phone via iTunes, can anyone please help as i really need to put the songs on my phone.

Hi everyone, I need some help big time. I was currently running the IOS 6.0.1 on my iphone 4 and I could sync and transfer music to my phone via my iTunes account. But I updated my phone to the new IOS 6.1 and now I can not transfer music onto my iphone, all it does is tries to sync the songs but it doesn't. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes back onto my laptop yet it still does not work. Can anyone please help me.

Everything is Sorted!
The release of iTunes 11.0.2 and iOS 6.1.2 for my iPhone 4, seems to have sorted everything. I can now sync music, films and photos between my MacBook and my phone.
I was dubious about blindly doing the updates but decided they couldn't really mess up any further functionality so I went for it and it's sorted now.
Look in to, and take the gamble, it's up to you.

This is most often a severe hardware fault of the WiFi Chip. But steps to try are, Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. See if fixed. If not, Restore iPhone with iTunes on your computer. See if fixed. If not, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution.

HT1766 While updating my iphone 4S to the recommended iOS I lost my contacts. Can anyone help me to restore my contact list?

While updating my iphone 4S to the recommended iOS update I inadvertantly lost my contacts in the icloud. Can anyone help me to retrieve my contact list. iCloud is not something that I need or find helpful for since I only have one device.

Hi Mandy,
Check Settings>General>Restrictions, and make sure that under Allow Changes, you have "Allow Changes" checked.

Hello apple community i had just updated my iphone 4 to the newest ios version 7.0.6 and my iphone is getting no reception i don't know what to do please help me !!!!!!

hello apple community i had just updated my iphone 4 to the newest ios version 7.0.6 and my iphone is getting no reception i don't know what to do please help me !!!!!!

Hi Shohambox,
Please the first thing you should do is to restart your device. Go the sleep wake button and hold down on it for 4-5 seconds waiting for the 'slide to shut off' message to appear. Once the device is turned off go ahead and restart the device. If this does not resolve the issue then go to the area on the front of your device to the app that reads 'settings' from settings>general>reset>reset network settings. Clicking on reset network settings will not erase any data only will reset the network settings apart of your iphone., Once the reset has completed you will then need to go back to settings to wi/fi and plug in the name and password of your wi/fi prior to using it.
Good luck, Friend.
