I am tryin to set up a new 5S but it is stuck on the apple logo. Is there a way round this?

I have just bought a 5S. I have opted for the restore form icloud backup but it is now stuck at the logo screen with no movement on the status bar for over 2 hours. I have tried holding down the home button and the power button and restarting from there but it gets stuck earlier on in the process!
Any ideas on how to get it working would be much appreciated.
Thanks

This is happening to me, too, on one of our new company phones. I tried resetting but it is still hanging on the Apple logo with progress bar not advancing. I would assume connecting to iTunes to restore to factory would be the next step to try?

When I attempt to send a new AIM message it defaults to sending an iMessage. Is there a way around this?

I use Mac Messages app for iMessage, SMS, AIM, & Google Chat. When I attempt to send a new AIM message it defaults to sending an iMessage. Is there a way around this?
I have my preferences set to save messages history in my Mac Messages app and the issue seems to arise when I attempt to send a new AIM message to someone that I have recently had an iMessage conversation with. I have tried right clicking the person's name in my buddy list and selecting "Start New Chat" and it appears as though I'm writing a new AIM message to them but when I send the message it defaults back to an iMessage. AIM is used for daily communication by everyone in my company and used heavily throughout my industry. Considering a majority of my contacts don't have iMessage synced to their Messages/AIM app on their desktop it is ineffective and disruptive to send an iMessage instead of an AIM.
Any insight or help would be appreciated. I'd love to find a solution without having to turn off the save messages history setting in my Mac Messages app.
Thanks-
Adam

Hi,
The Name at the "To" spot should become a drop down and this should show you the various ways you can connect to them.
A "Chat" with someone can then switch between the various options if they have several ways.
As @mac.com and other Apple issued ID can also be AIM valid Screen Names you sometimes have to take a little care.
If you have made it to be an AIM chat though it should not switch back to iMessages even if that was the last method they used to contact you.
I find in Mavericks (that I am currently booted into) I can double click the Buddy Line in the Buddy List (And I have my Buddy List separate) the Chat will take on the AIM item in the text field.
This was an iMessages conversation before this.
I presume this still works in Yosemite.

I tried restoring my Ipad 2 and when it was trying to update the new software, this thing pops up saying an error has occured cannot update software. My ipad is still stuck on the apple logo.

I tried restoring my ipad 2 and when its trying to extract the new software this pop up appears on the screen and says ERROR: cannot update software or something. My ipad still doesnt return to the home screen. It's still stuck on the apple logo. I only had this for a year. Is it broken?

If your ipad had no problems before, then it is your computer then may fail you. Try to restart computer and ipad.Try to disable antiviruses. If that happens again and you have apple store close by you can set up appointment, or try another computer.

My New iPod gets stuck on the Apple logo screen.

I got a new ipod but there is one problem with it. For hours at a time it gets stuck on the apple logo screen. In this state it does not connect to my computer. I cannot get it to play music because everytime I manage to get it started up the apple logo screen pops up and shuts it down again.
Also, on the occasions where my computer DOES recognize my iPod, my iPod says it has about 1 GB of "other files" and about 1 gb of "audio files". I understand the audio but I don't remember putting anything onto my iPod that wasn't audio. What are the "other files" and how do I remove them?

Other can be Album Artwork, Notes, Contacts, Firmware etc. or files that are on there if you are using the iPod as a removable storage device. If you feel that Other is being incorrectly reported then try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

When i clicked on erase all content and setting in my iphone3, it first shut down and next the apple logo appears and then nothing happens, how to fix it

when i clicked on erase all content and setting in my iphone3, it first shut down and next the apple logo appears and then nothing happens, its been 12hrs since like that. i tried force restart by clicking the home and sleep/wake button, and still same issue.

I believe with the 3G and the older iOS, erase all content and settings acts differently than the newer iOS. You can use this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 to place the phone in recovery mode and restore it.

No you can change your wallpaper to make the font stand out more on your homepages and folders or you can adjustr the font size, bold and contrast here:

Brand new IPhone stuck with the Apple logo

My phone is brand-new, bought it yesterday together with two more for my sisters, and it asked for an update. After it finished updating, it told me to connect to Itunes, which I did. As soon as I connected it to Itunes, the only option left was to restore. I waited 10 minutes for it to restore until it came to the finishing point, but in the end, there was an error, and since then, my phone has been stuck with the apple logo on it. I tried turning it off by pressing the sleep button and the home
button at the same time until it turns off, but when I turn it on, the apple logo comes back and stays. I left the apple logo on the entire night to see if it would go off, but the apple logo only came off when the battery ran out. When I started charging it this morning, the only thing that happened was the apple logo coming on again and staying. I tried restoring it twice yesterday and in those two times there was an error. My sister also had an update and her phone didnt ask to be connected to Itunes, it just turned on and had a start up as if it was the first time she was turning it on. I don't know whether the problem is my computer or the phone... Can anyone help me?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPhone fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

TS4062 my iphone 4 has mild water damage and will not sync with cable.I want to sync it over wifi to reload data I deleted during my troubleshooting, but I did not set up for wifi sync before the damage. Is there a way that this can be done now ?

My iphone 4 has mild water damage. As a result, it will not sync with it's former XP computer with the cable. I deleted the phone's data in the troubleshooting process. I want to get it back by syncing over wifi, but I did not set up this capability before the damage occured.is there another way to initiate this feature ? I can tell that they are connecting in the cloud because an app I just downloaded on the phone is showing up in itunes on the computer.

You don't need to access your e-mail account, just get into your Apple account and change the e-mail address. If you can't access your Apple account, then you have a bigger issue to contend with.

I hit the clear the clear setting and contact and now my phone is stuck on the apple and wont turn on

i hit the clear setting and content on my phone and now my phone is stuck on the apple sign and wont turn on or off

You will probably have to put it in recovery mode to restore it, as explained in this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

I just tried to install a the new update for my iPad and it started but now its stuck with the apple in the window and it won't finish the update

My iPad is stuck with the apple and the updating line but it is not finishing the update and the iPad is stuck I can't shut it off nothing is working just the bright white apple in the window.

Hi rm44,
Try resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the reset is complete, the Home or Lock screen will display. Once the device is back up, go to Settings>General>About, and see what version is displaying. If it has the iOS number you were updating to, then you are all set.
If it has the old iOS version number, then the update did not take place. The best thing to do in that situation is to hook the device up to iTunes on the computer you sync with, and to update via iTunes.
Cheers,

I have just bought a new laptop, i am trying to sync my songs on my iphone to my itunes, but it says i can only sync with 1 itunes, any way round this?

iv just bought a new laptop, i am trying to sync my songs on my iphone to my itunes, but it says it can only be sync with 1 itunes, any way around this?

The iPhone like all iDevices is not a storage device, it is merely a mirror of the content in the library to which it is synced.
If you wish to sync to a new computer, the first step is to copy or move the iTunes media library from the old computer to the new computer. This can be done via the network or by using an external hard drive.
Once the library has been moved, simply sync to the new computer.

My old ID was disabled so I created a new one for the new phone, but when I go to the apple store on my phone it says to enter a password for my old account, how do i change the id to my new one?

I went to the settings and entered my new account info with the new apple ID but everytime I try to download something it is asking me to enter the password for the old ID(which is disabled)

Maybe the App Store is still open with the old info?
Try this:
Restart your iPhone
Press Settings and then Store
Press your Apple ID and choose sign out
Press Home button
Go back to Settings > Store and then sign in with new ID/password.
