IOS 8.3 Update - 5S stuck on update restart?

Hi,
I decided to update my 16GB iPhone 5S to iOS 8.3 yesterday. All was going smoothly until the very last stage of the process, where the phone restarts and a loading bar appears underneath the normal start-up logo. The bar had loaded until only a rough tenth remained, but it has stayed that way for over 12 hours now, and shows no sign of continuing. I have tried turning my phone off using all traditional methods to no avail, and it won't let me restore from my laptop as is unable to connect due to being in the restarting process. Any help to resolve this issue would be much appreciated,
Thank you.

I was glad to see that feature change. I use my photographs as my Lockscreen and Home screen wallpapers and never liked the shading.

  • My iPhone 5s on ios 8.1.2 is stuck at Apple logo or recovery mode.. To fix this issue, i need to update it to ios 8.2 through itunes.. I want to ask that my data i.e. Photos and other personal data would be removed after updating it or not..?

    My iPhone 5s on ios 8.1.2 is stuck at Apple logo or recovery mode.. To fix this issue, i need to update it to ios 8.2 through itunes.. I want to ask that my data i.e. Photos and other personal data would be removed after updating it or not..?
    if yes then how can i save my data or get out of recovery mode.. Is there any safe mode or something like that on which i could access my data..
    P.S. I have not taken any backup of my iPhone on itunes..
    Please help me sort out this issue..

    Recovery mode doesn't mean that all your data is already lost. You only lose your data if you restore it.
    When you plug the phone is into iTunes hold down the home button. iTunes may then give you the option JUST to update the software first. This should not get rid of any data.
    However, if iTunes is only giving you the option to RESTORE and update, then you will lose your data I'm afraid.
    Hope that helps!

  • I have updated to IOS 6, the App store won't work, is stuck in update mode for 1 day and the battery now goes flat in 3 hrs without use. Can I go back to IOS 5?

    Hi, I was forced to upgrade to IOS 6 due to a restore.
    Since the upgrade, I have lost information, the App store is stuck in update mode, my battery drains in hours and many more problems.
    Is there a way to go back to the VERY RELIABLE IOS 5? This phone is nearly useless now.
    Thanks

    Just FYI - the situation is resolved.  I downloaded the new snow leopard 10.6.8 update for safari and now itunes works.  I have no idea what that has to do with anything - but I saw it on another forum and it actually worked.

  • After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server.

    After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server.  I have already tried the resetting with power swich and home button and plugging into computer but it says the "iPhone software update server cannot be contacted."  I am locked out of my phone.  Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue and get the phone working again.  I will add that I am now trying to restore it on a different computer with a lower version of itunes, but the computer that it initially happened on had the updated itunes and gave me the same result ... nothing.  Thanks for your help in advance.

    Try going to recovery mode as described here.  You may have to try this more than once to succeed.
    Use the original iTunes that the iPhone synced with.

  • Ipad got stuck when updating to ios 8.1

    Is there a way to restore an iPad that gets stuck while updating to the newest ios?

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
    3. Repeat the process if necessary.

    i tried to update my iphone4 to iOS 6 it restarted and got stuck. it being restarted since i have updated it and its not yet switched on. tell me what to do with this fish????

    So what happened to the phone during the process?  It should have gone black and restarted a couple of times and there would have been a white progress bar as the update installed.  Sounds to me like you've downloaded the update file but not actually installed it.  The quickest way to see version of the software is installed is to go to Settings-General-About and check Version.

  • I get a message that says "This version of pre-release ios will expire in 7 days" What should I do? I am currently running ios 8 GM and I can't update to the public release version.

    I get a message that says "This version of pre-release ios will expire in 7 days" What should I do? I am currently running ios 8 GM and I can't update to the public release version. I am stuck in the beta. Itunes will not let me restore my iphone or update it. PLZ HELP ME

    Wondering if you have a current Backup on iTunes ...if yes you could put the iPhone in DFU Mode by holding the Home button while you plug in the lightning cable.  Then you could Restore the iPhone to Factory Settings on 8.0.2 and after a full Restore go back and then Restore from your Backup.  This happens every time a public release occurs.  Many folks on the Golden Master or otherwise in the AppleSeed program with a Beta version for some reason don't move to the official release ...then the software time-bomb hits and they can't upgrade.

  • Numbers Doc stuck on updating

    I have a numbers document that I created on an IPAD1 (IOS 5.01) and synced to ICLOUD. I've been using my IPHONE 4 (no S) to update the sheet but today it refused to upload the updated copy. I reset all settings on both devices, same but now the document appears to be trying to update on the IPHONE and IPAD both.
    I logged onto the ICLOUD web site and the document is there, but stuck on 'updating' and wont change. Since its updating, I cant download it. The only option it gives me is to delete it.
    Any ideas on how I can get this file to sync or allow me to download it? The document itself isnt very large.... it has 5 sheets and 4 forms in it. Not alot of data entered in it.
    Thanks,

    This is happening to me on my iPhone 4 using numbers and iCloud as well. The first time it happened I tried several times resetting, rebooting, relaunching etc. I discovered as Winston states I could get it out via iTunes. But I also discovered weirdly enough that I could continue to open, edit and close and duplicate the spreadsheet the whole time. I was also able to email the spreadsheet just fine from numbers while it was open too. It just seams stuck updating the changes. I ultimately deleted the spreadsheet and reuploaded like Winston described. Problem is now its doing it for the second time this week with the same spreadsheet. I am suspecting some sort of iCloud iFail. Since I've been using iOS 5, numbers, this spreadsheet, iCloud and this iPhone all for months with no changes till this week.

  • I accidentally touched the auto enhance icon in iPhoto and now the program is stuck at "Updating photo."  How do I make it stop?

    I accidentally touched the auto enhance icon in iPhoto and now the program is stuck at "Updating photo."  How do I make it stop?

    Try to quit iPhoto from the Home Screen - the recent app section.:
    Double click the Home button to reveal the recently used apps.
    Then tap and hold on the iphoto for ios icon until it wiggles. It will show a "minus" sign in the corner.
    Now tap the minus sign to quit the app.
    Click the screen above the row of recent apps to return it to normal.
    Now restart iPhoto and see if it back to normal.

  • IPad 2 and ios5 update problem(stuck in recovery mode)

    Hi,
    I have been trying to upgrade to ios 5 on my ipad2 and have had a couple of failures (the same as most people have had).
    i tried running it once more and it went beyond the validating install with apple part and then i recieved and error code 3004 and my ipad is now stuck in
    recovery mode,all i have on my screen is the itunes logo and usb cable.
    In itunes it only gives me an option of restoring to factory settings. if i look in itunes preferences and backups it gives my last one as 18.33 but it isnt there
    i really am at a loss as to what to do next.
    Any help will be gratefully recieved  Regards Adrian

    Here's how I fixed this on my MacBook Pro.
    With your device connected, in iTunes, Option-click the Restore button.
    You'll be asked to select the file to use to Restore. Go To Folder (Command-Shift-G): ~/Library/iTunes/
    then into the proper "XYZ Software Updates" folder ("iPad Software Updates" for example), you'll find the file to use to update.
    If you have more than one, select the one that ends with "5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw".
    This resolved the "internal error occurred" I had with my iPad 2.
    Make sure you read the warnings that pop up during the process; this will remove everything you have on your device, so you'll need a working backup, or a way to sync your data.
    Good luck.
