  • HT201210 My iphone 4 is frozen during the iOS 6 installation.

    It has been frozen showing the apple and a half-complete bar for 4 hours now.  What should I do?

    Fixed!
    [BTW... I was doing my update wirelessly without using iTunes or plugging my phone into the computer.]
    I was scared to touch any buttons while it was in the middle of a OS update.  I talked to Apple support, and they had me try the following:
    1.  Hold the power button to see if it went away.  [It did not go away, so they went to option 2.]
    2.  Plug the phone into my computer with iTunes open.  [I could not do this b/c I'm in the middle of downloading the iTunes update.  So, they had me to to option 3.]
    3.  Hold power button and homescreen button until the frozen screen goes away and the reboot screen with just the apple shows... just like when you reboot your phone for any other reason.
    The last one worked. It ended up going back to the apple with the progress bar, and the install went all the way.  It was a bit slow to load the last 1/4, but it worked.  Then, the phone went back to just the apple reboot screen.  I was concerned because it sat there a couple minutes, but then the iOS 6 configuration screen appeared.
    Now we shall see how the rest of this goes.....

  • My phone is frozen during the ios 7.1.2 update. What should I do?

    I tried updating my phone to the new 7.1.2. It has been hours now, and has not progressed in the update. It will not shut off either. What should I do?

    Hi cgravseth,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you were updating your iPhone and now it is completely unresponsive. The following article has some great information for troubleshooting this situation. Numbers 1 and 2 are irrelevant or you have already tried with no success. Start with number 3 and try to reset the iPhone. If that doesn’t work move down to steps 5 and 6.
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Please feel free to let me know if you need further assistance.
    Have a great day,
    -Joe

    What is showing on the iphone screen?
    Try this:
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    Make sure itunes is updated to the lates version on the computer.

  • I forgot my passcode, so I was unable to access my phone. I then tried to restore it, but it has frozen during the process. It won't connect to my mac again and I can't stop the process because my lock button is broken. What do I do?

    I forgot my passcode, so I was unable to access my phone. I then tried to restore it, but it has frozen during the process. It won't connect to my mac again and I can't stop the process because my lock button is broken. What do I do?

    My first advice is "Back up the device, then have it replaced."  Second item of advice, "Don't forget your passcode."
    One of the purposes of the lock button is to recover from certain software failures.  Without the lock button, such a recovery is nearly impossible.  My advice would have served you best when the malfuction first developed, not after you forgot your passcode.

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

    My iphone 3gs has downloaded to the ios6 and it keep shutting down i need to reset it back to its former 3gs setting how do i do this

    USB connection to iTunes. Back up your 3GS with your last 3GS back up. DON'T use an iPhone 4 back up or higher. It will cause exactly this.

  • My iPhone 4 has frozen during iOS 7 update! Someone help?

    Please help me, I don't know where else to ask! Earlier, about two hours ago, I decided to finally download and install the iOS 7 update. My phone had previously been running 5.1, and when the update finished my phone restarted like normal. But then it started updating again and froze halfway through. And now its just been sitting there for the past 20 minutes, frozen halfway through the update. Funny thing is, my iTunes says my phone is running 7.0 now. What the **** is going on and how do I fix it??!

    I had/still have the same problem Amari, and it was ever since I was (forced) to upgrade to iOS7. I didn't want to upgrade it (I avoided it for about 2 months) because I read that it said upgrade at your own risk.... which made me a little worried. So when I went to sync music on my iphone, it basically forced me into upgrading to iOS7 if I wanted new music on my phone. I didn't really realize anything was wrong until I got an alert on my phone saying that I was almost at my maximum for data and would have to pay money to use more data... which this has never happened to me in a year and a half with this phone/plan. So I realized that my wifi was not working anymore, so I cannot connect to wifi, and my battery is now really weak. Also, my phone freezes a lot and won't turn off using the top button... all since the forced upgrade....
    I went into Apple yesterday and they basically said I need to buy a replacement phone or upgrade my phone. They said that my wifi chip is dead and my battery is really weak now. (None of this was the case before iOS7... which the sales reps don't really like to agree to, but it's true..) I'm pretty frustrated and disappointed in Apple for this. This is my first iPhone and I haven't even had it a year and a half. I take extremely good care of my phone and every other phone I've owned (Blackberrys, flip phones) have lasted 3 years+. I thought Apple technology was the best? I don't think that I should have to pay more money to replace my phone. I think that this is Apple's fault.
    So my options are:
    1) Pay $200 to buy a replacement phone (4s, which I currently own.... why do I want to buy a replacement on the same phone that didn't last over a year and a half?)
    2) Pay and upgrade to an iPhone 5.... which who knows if I'll have the same problem or not.
    3) Keep a phone with no wifi, and a weak battery.. which I'll probably have to pay more monthly for going over data....
    4) .....? Get a Samsung?? haha
    What am I to do?

  • HT4623 my IPad mini has frozen with the message under ICloud Backup Window saying this iPad hasen't been backed up in two weeks. I have synced it under iTunes. What more is needed?

    IPad mini has frozen with ICloudBackup window showing and msg "This iPad hasn't been backed up in two weeks. Backup happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked,, and connected to WiFi.
    I have synced it with iTunes while computer is connected to internet. What more do I need to do.I can't get rid of this window by hitting OK

    Try this now. Reboot your iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT4623 my iphone 4 is going through the ios 7 update via itunes.  the syncing is still going on for almost an hour.  why is this taking so long?

    Why is my phone stuck in the ios 7 update?  My phone is currently stuck in the balck screen with the apple logo.  The status line has not moved for 45 mins.

    I was able to restore my phone!!!
    I called Apple and they said there was nothing more I could do. I called my carrier Verizon and was able to get my computer to recognize my device after trying this-
    Solution:
    After trying EVERYTHING this is the ONLY thing that worked-
    I took the USB connector cable out of the USB port it was in, and tried another one on the otherside of my laptop and iTunes was able to discover my phone in recovery mode. My phone was reset and everything is fine ( thank gosh for backup copies!)

  • My iPhone 5 has frozen during an update and I cannot gain access?

    The iphone has completly frozen mid an update the screen is black with the white apple and a portion of the update showing as downloaded approx 1 quarter.
    iphone support needs the serial number but I cannot gain access to anything.  it will not switch off and will not receive any calls either??? Help!

    You can use iTunes on your computer to restore your iPhone to factory settings then install the most recent iOS version >  Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • My iPhone 5 has frozen during an update!

    It is frozen on a white screen with a black apple logo and a loading bar. I left it to complete overnight but the bar has still not moved. I have tried turning it off but nothing works. I have also tried plugging it into my computer but the computer does not recognise anything.

    I would recommend trying to restart the phone. this way:
    Plug it in to the computer, and restart it (By pressing the home button, as well as the power button)
    This may cancel the update process, and you can instal it a different way.
    Hope this helps:)
