IOS 5.0.1 - iphone frozen. help!!

I updated my iphone with ios 5.0.1 and my phone is frozen with it asking me to connect to itunes.  itunes wont recognise that the phone is connected through the usb port.
help please!

EVERYONE TRY HARD RESETTING YOUR PHONES BEFORE POSTING HERE.
IT WORKED FOR ME LIKE IT HAS FOR EVERYONE ELSE WHO TRIED IT.
Be sure and do a update on the phone when it is Fully charged up. Also I would suggest taht you intall Battery Doctor + from the App store (its free)
Also disable wifi icloud connection, just do it thru the usb to computer connection.
Then do the following
TO HARD RESET:
• HOLD DOWN HOME AND POWER BUTTONS SIMULTANEOUSLY FOR 10 SECONDS
• THE PHONE SHUTS ITSELF DOWN (IGNORE THE NORMAL PROMPT TO TURN IT OFF)
• ONCE IT SHUTS ITSELF DOWN, LET GO OF THE BUTTONS, IT'LL HARD RESET ON IT'S OWN.
IT WORKS!

  • IOS issue 4005 error Iphone 5 HELP!!

    I have had my phone a while and its been working great.  I was using the phone in IOS7 and again no issues.  I have updated to IOS 8 and now it keeps telling me to connect to Itunes and when I do I get an error message with code 4005.
    I took the phone to an apple guru and the respose was an absolute joke.  They are trying to tell me that (even tho the phone worked perfectly before the update) the IOS update has detected a hardware fault and will not restart.  They are then saying i need to pay them £200 to get a new Iphone 5!!!!!  Sorry Apple send an update which they recommend you do and then it renders your phone useless, then I have to shell out £200 to get a new phone!!!!
    Can anyone help me with this error message and how to fix it cause Apple and their staff have been useless!!  Dont think i will be staying with Apple come updgrade time.  Total Joke.

    thanks for the suggestions, i tried the ideas you suggested but i dont even get a camera showing for the rear camera, i also noticed the torchlight no longer works.  i did all the steps but no luck.
    So I took my camera to the genius bar this weekend as well as walking through various steps with the apple guys in ohio support over the net. 
    With the guys at the genius bar, after i insisted that it must be software as the rear camera stopped working only after the softwre update, they continued to assure me it was hardware and talked me into letting them replace the camera,  they then took it to the back and tried fixing a camera and 30 minutes later came out and said the rear camera is no longer being detected and wanted me to replace the motherboard for yet more money.  im glad they didnt charge me for the new camera though as it still didnt work.
    anyway the motherboard idea i rejected as it was just 2 months out of warranty and had only stopped working the day after the release of 7.0.2, so im going to wait until the next few releases to see what happens, as i dont believe for a second its hardware.  i expected a stock answer from apple and its exactly what i got even after my explanation of how it was working the day before the release.  not overly impressed with the whole process.
    i wanted to back down to 7.0.1 to confirm the camera still works but they said no chance so i cant even see if it still works ouside 7.0.2.  anyway will update if i get any further progress.

  • IPhone frozen- help needed restarting it.

    My Iphone screen froze when I tried to unlock it today. It is fully charged. I have tried turning it off and connecting it to my laptop but neither worked. Please help.

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start. Usually about 10 seconds time of holding both buttons.
    If nothing. Then connect to Wall Charger and Reset, usually up to 20 seconds of holding both buttons may be necessary.

    when you have iTunes logo with the use port  showing  on your iPhone 5 , it needs to place your iPhone in recovery  mode. Hope you have back up your data before the update .
    Here is is the step
    1. Check you iTunes version software 11.3  or 11.4
    2. Turn off your device . If you are having issue turning off  the device, force quit by pressing and holding the power button and home button at the same time until the device is off.
    3.  Connect the use cable to your Pc or Mac  and
    Press and hold the home button  while connecting the other end of the  usb  cable to your iPhone/ iPad / iPod .
    continue to press and hold the home button until you see the iTunes  logo with  usb cable port on the
    on the screen of your device  And release .
    4.  On your  pc or Mac.  will show a message iTunes has detected your iPhone in recovery mode you must restore before you can use iTunes.
    5. Click ok
    6. Restore .
    These process can be use also when  your device  is disabled with a passcode locked.....

  • While downloading the latest IOS update to my iPhone 4, my phone went into a frozen state with the update 2/3's complete. It's remained like this for the past 12 hours. I can't turn the phone off, and I can't connect it to iTunes. Anyone know what to do?

    If the place of purchase does not have a 'Lemon' policy (three replacements = refund or complete exchange), sadly you are out of luck.
    And Apple themselves do not have any power over what policy a reseller uses. You can call Apple Care and have them replace it, but the odds are you would probably get a standard replacement again like has previously happened. I'm pretty sure Apple holds their own sort of 'Lemon' polocy where if it's been replaced three times through them they'll swap it out for a brand new phone. Not 100% sure though, best bet is too call them again.
    And it ***** getting a response like that from their support personel, but hey, they can't all be that bad can they? I'm sure if you plead your case they'll try and help out. I've dealt with them in the past and had one or two people that rubbed me the wrong way, but most of them have been a great help and kept me a happy customer, haha.

  • HT4623 please help me update ios 4.3 in iphone 3g

    please help me update ios 4.3 in iphone 3g

    You can't. The iPhone 3G can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. It hardware does not suport a higher iOS.
    BW this is the iPod touch forum.

  • I want to get iBook, Facebook and Skype to my iphone 4.2.1 through my iTune, but I coudn't because it is said that it requires a newer version of iOS. Please I need your help. Thanks

    If your iPhone can't be updated to a higher iOS version then the only way to get them is if you downloaded versions of them which were compatible with iOS 4.2.1 and you still have copies of those versions somewhere e.g. on your computer or on a backup - only the current version of each app is available in the store, and as apps (and other content) are tied to the account that downloads them, you will need to have older copies that are linked to your id

    Not a good sign. Try forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it. If this fails, make an appointment at an Apple store:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

  • HT1414 I can´t syncronize my Iphone 5 with Itunes 11.1.5.5. The option looks like locked in the menu. I have tried reinstalling Itunes but this is not the solution. Actually my OC runs under Windows 8.1. IOS 7.1. Someone can help me, please?

    It seems I have solved my own problem . . . well hopefully !!   ;-)
    I was using a 'non' Apple cable. When I swithced to using the stock cable that came with my iPhone, iTunes can now see that I have a 'Device' and identifies it correctly as my iPhone.
    Hopefully this may help others . . . ?
    Cheers,
