ICloud got stuck while downloading photos.

I restored my iphone yesterday and backed it up via iCloud. It began downloading photos from iCloud and the got stuck in the 8th picture. I don't even care about those photos so I went into iCloud settings and deleted my photos backup. But in my camera roll it still says "Downloading 8 of 576". I have restarted the phone multiple times and still the same problem.

Ok... I just had the same issue and after an hour of trying to figure this out... reading threads in forums... and nobody had a reliable solution... I got it...!  LOL
Anyway, it's as simple as hooking up your iPhone to your computer and getting into iTunes > go to your iPhone > go to Photos > Put a check in the box for "Sync Photos from".  Now make sure you pick your folder that you have previously used for photos.  Otherwise, you can do what I did and just said "To heck with it" and created a blank folder with zero pictures in it.  Last, just hit "Apply" down at the bottom of iTunes.  Voila! Problem solved!  No more spinning, no more downloading, no more killing the battery and no more headache!
Essentially, all you're doing is manually RE-SYNCING your photos and overriding the iCloud sync download to your iPhone.
P.S. - If you do as I did with the blank folder with zero photos, your phone's Camera Roll will have 0 photos in it.  And if you had seperate Albums that you have created... they will be gone too.  So, if you want to make sure to keep all of your photos and albums... MAKE SURE YOU SELECT THOSE FOLDERS THROUGH ITUNES BEFORE YOU HIT "APPLY"!

  • Can't open nor delete an app because it got stuck while downloading, what can I do?

    Can't open nor delete an app because it got stuck while downloading, what can I do?

    Restart the iPad. The downloading App will dissapear
    If it was a purchased App, you'll probably have been charged for it, so it'll be worth trying to re-download.
    Let me know if this helps...

  • App got stuck while installing help

    I was trying to download an app and it got stuck while loading. I can't delete it. I have turned off and on my phone to no avail. I tried plugging in the phone to itunes. Help please

    This happened to me when I got my iPhone. Simply all I did was turn off the Wi-Fi and it should stop saying "Loading"
    What you can do is download the same app and see If it will move. Or just use iTunes to install the app.

  • TS2486 My mail.app got stuck while accessing mails in outbox. I was using ipad 3.Any advice?

    My mail.app got stuck while accessing mails in outbox. I was using ipad 3.Any advice?

    Okay, I figured this out.
    A podcast in iTunes was not downloading.
    Apparently, ios5 will only download one thing at a time and so it sets up a queue that must include all and any downloads: apps, songs, podcast, all of it. So, a tip to anyone with this problem look through all apps that have a queue of downloading items and clear them till you can get your system running again.

  • Dear all, I have a MacBook Pro bought in April 2011. Last April, it got stuck while the wheel was spinning and I had to force it shut. That cost me my hard drive. Now, it's stuck again. I tried esc, cmd tab, moving the trackpad on the apple, but no. HELP!

    Dear all, I have a MacBook Pro bought in April 2011. Last April, it got stuck while the wheel was spinning and I had to force it shut. That cost me my hard drive. Now, it's stuck again. I tried esc, cmd+tab, moving the trackpad on the apple, but no. HELP!

    Dear John,
    thank you for your prompt reply. After I sent the email, I left the wheel spinning to see if it would eventually stop. It didn't, but after a while the screen turned blue, so I decided to switch everything off with a forced shut-down. I could not restart with the OS DVDs because I am currently away from home, but fortunately everything was more or less fine after restarting. It then got stuck again, I forced it shut again, restarted again, and now it seem to work but I won't overdo it and will switch off smoothly after writing this (unless it gets stuck again). Last April I have replaced the HD, so it's now just under 6 months old. And, of course, since the crash occurred when I was abroad and had backed up just before I left, I have lost only a few days' work. Still, and I know this will make me hugely unpopular here, with my 5 previous laptops running on MS Windows I never had a problem. Which does not mean I loved the OS, or I would not have switched to Mac.
    Anyway, and this is the main reason for this message, thank you very much again for your speedy intervention.

    What version of iPhoto?
    Are these photos different in any way? Black and White, for instance?

    It looks like ocz is aware of the issue and trying to address it via firmware:

    Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.

  • Blackberry Z10 got stuck while loading the OS

    Thanks

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Access to the data on the device requires that the device be functioning, which is exactly what it cannot do. This simply proves out that backups, like insurance, are neither a reactive nor an optional activity.
    Good luck!

    Hello Knight612
    Try the other alternative when it comes to updating your iPhone. If you are using your iPhone in Settings > General > Software Update and it is not going anywhere, try using iTunes or vice versa.
    Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    According to this support site, books are available for free re-downloads everywhere that Apple has a store - every country that they sell content in.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5085
    This does not include audio books though. So your purchased books should appear in the purchase tab of the iBook Store. See if closing the app completely and rebooting the iPad makes them appear again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    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.

  • Installed latest iOS on my iPad mini, it got stuck while restarting after update. It is still in that stage even after 7 hours.

    installed latest iOS on my iPad mini, it got stuck while restarting after update. It is still in that stage even after 7 hours.

    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.
