HT4623 iPhone restore stuck half way through time remaining

Hi,
I updated my phone to IOS 6 which then required a restore. I have attempted this multiple times but keep getting stuck about half way through the restore with time remaining going up to 12hrs or more. Can anyone help?
Thanks

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.

    Could be a defective SIM.  Try a new one from your carrier.

  • IPhone4 in recovery mode, restore stops half way through with an error message.

    Hi, please help if you can. I have an iPhone 4 running the latest IOS which for some reason hung on start up with the Apple logo. It would get out of the loop, so got it into Recovery Mode, connected up for restore fine. This happens fine, then half way through the restore there is an error message, saying the restore cant be completed. I've tried it on three machines, different cables, different USB ports, and am now stuck.
    Its unloced but not jail broken.
    Thanks go your help.

  • Everytime I try to restore my iPhone I get half way through it then it gives me a -20 system error message and then tells me the back ip is corrupt. Can someone help?

    I am trying to update my iphone and once it gets to the restoring process I get " An error occurred while restoring this iPhone (-20)". Once I hit ok I get "iTunes could not restore the iPhone " " because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored". But about a month ago we updated another iphone we have same model. Can someone tell me what to do or how to fix this?

    Are you running modified software on your phone?  This error seems to be common if the firmware has been modified and you're trying to restore the phone again. 

  • 4s stuck half way through update

    I started the update last night- connected to my Mac. This morning i still have the black screen with the apple logo and the update bar is only halfway through loading. It seems stuck there. I cant turn the phone off and there are no messages.  Advice please...

    Try resetting the phone - disconnect phone from Mac, then press and hold down the Sleep/Wake button and Home button. Kepp them prssed down till you see Apple logo. This will reboot device. Same thing happened to me on my iPod touch - after resetting device, I was able to get into Settings and confirm that the update actually did install.

  • Installation stuck half way through.

    I am in the middle of reinstaling tiger on my computer. Disk 1 installed fine. I put in disk 2 when it asked me. It then says "preparing for installation, installing garadge band app" then stops.
    The installer window closes leaving just a blue screen and then starts again. It does this over and over again.
    I cannot quit, force quit the os x installer or do any thing. If i remove disk 2 it asks for it again. If I restart the computer it just starts trying to install tiger again from disk 2.
    What should I do??

    Parke ahs a great idea. Also:
    Clean the disk. Barely dampen some toilet paper, and wipe the surface. Avoid getting any in the hole, and if you do, make cetain to wipe it. Then, with another wad, wipe the disk dry. Be very deliberate.
    Look at the top side of the disk (hold it to a light). If the top is scratched, the disk is toast. Get another.

  • BF tried to update to ios6 on iphone 4 but crashed half way through saying it needed to plugged into iTunes and then restored so after it was 'restoring' he had an error message come up say to couldn't be restored....what should be do next?

    BF tried to update to ios6 on iphone 4 but crashed half way through saying it needed to plugged into iTunes and then restored so after it was 'restoring' he had an error message come up say to couldn't be restored....what should be do next as the phone is in a complete non working condition

    Spent hours trying everything suggested and finally this morning hit on a solution. iTunes must be run as an administrator. Even though you are logged into your PC as an administrator, using the iTunes shortcut does not make you an administrator in iTunes. I found this out by using the diagnostics in iTunes and reading through the results report.
    I am using Windows 7, so I clicked the start button and right clicked on iTunes and selected "Run as an adimistrator". The first restore attempt got the 4013 error. I then did the DFU thing, hold power and home buttons for 10 seconds, release power and continue holding home for 10 more seconds.
    iTunes gave me the restore message and I clicked it. I clicked the restore iPhone button and it started. The drivers loaded a couple of times. I got the apple logo with the progress bar and this time instead of disappearing, it started to fill in.
    End result, a successful restore to factory settings and a happy 14 year old.
    Hope this helps others.

  • I was updating my iphone, but my computer shut down half way through restoring my old settings. When I turned my computer back on, i tried to continue with the restore but the original backup i was trying to use wasn't there anymore, it had been replaced.

    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer
    To reset the SMC on newer Mac portables with a battery you cannot remove

    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.

    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
