Ios8.1 update problem

I am trying to update to ios8.1 on my iPhone 5S. I am doing it via iTunes. I downloaded and ran the update, and my phone said it was on 8.1 then iTunes popped up asking me to update again? So I did it again. Now I'm locked in a cycle where it looks like it's updating and as soon as it finishes, it starts again.  I daren't turn my computer off or unplug the phone at the moment and I can't seem to stop it updating again and again.  Any ideas?

I had the same problem with my 4S. I decided to stop the cycle and quit iTunes and remove my iPhone. When I restarted iTunes it correctly reported the presence of 8.1 on my iPhone and is no longer trying to update.
Hope this works for you.

  • Can not update apps after IOS8 update on iPhone 4s

    Can not update apps after IOS8 update on iPhone 4s
    I can no longer update apps on my iPhone 4s after the IOS 8 update. The IOS 8 update took a very long time to complete, maybe 12 hours, and afterwards, it worked but updating packages were very slow. Package updates have since been problematic and about 4 days ago, it stopped being able to update any packages. I click on them to update and they never make any progress. I have 2.8 Gbytes free and I keep deleting more and more packages, pictures, etc. It seems like, from the amount of stuff that I have deleted, I should have more than 2.8 Gbytes free.
    Is anyone else having this kind of problem?

    16GB iPhone4: Go to Settings, scroll down to iTunes & App Stores and touch. At the top of the next page it shows: Apple ID. Touch this. Select Sign Out. Your Apple ID will go away. Re-enter Apple ID and password. Try App Store again.
       Other solutions were to go to Settings:General:Date&Time and turn off auto-update, then change date to next year. This didn't work for me, nor a lot of other users on the forums. It took reading a lot of threads to find the log-out, log-in solution. Even on the official Apple Website all I saw was: Make sure your connection is working, battery is charged, desktop is plugged in when you try to sync. OK I exaggerate, but with all the users posting this problem, you'd think they'd post their solutions when they work with a Tech Help call.

  • I have loved my iPad 2 all these years, until the ios8 update.  Now it is as wonky as any android device.  Slow, freezes, doesn't download properly.  so sad.

    Not a question, just a comment.  I have loved my ipad 2 for several years, but now with the ios8 update it is as wonky and irritating as any android device.  Slow, freezes, doesn't download properly weird things pop up-so sad.  Is apple losing its edge?

    I suggest you start a new question that gives a good title to a specific problem. Then in the body of the thread describe the problem in detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received.

  • Ipad mini difunctional after ios8 updates

    I have nothing but trouble with my iPad mini 1 since ALL IOS8 updates!  Numerous problems.  Constant crashes and reloads.  Typing disfunctional, lag time is great and sometimes doesn't work at all.  Wifi slow or doesn't work at all!   I have tried all the fixes suggested by employees and non Apple folks. Been to the Genius bar, Apple Support Communities, other Apple blogs.  Nothing works!!  I cannot afford a new iPad.  Thanks Apple!

    SSorry about your bad luck. A lot of that seems to be going around of late. I always get a chuckle when folks refer to the store clerks as " Genius". At least the one you saw was honest about the situation and didn't try to give you  a $75 credit on a new ipad if you turned in you mini with "defective hardware". I've been an on and off apple user since the late 70's. I must say, this latest blunder and the way that Apple is handling it just blows my mind. They have gone in a matter of two years from first rate to third rate at best.  I sincerely hope for yourself and all the others that have been effected that apple grabs the bull by the horns and puts an end to this nonsense.

  • Touchscreen randomness after ios8 update on iphone5

  • IPod touch 5th generation iOS 8 update problem

    I have an iPod touch 5th generation with 32GB. This morning I started the ios8 update. Everything was going fine for a while, but now it's like it's stuck. The bar indicating how close it is to being done is almost full, but it's been like that for hours. I can't turn it off or do anything else.
    Even if it's because I don't have enough memory, shouldn't I be able to cancel it or something? I didn't have this problem with the last update so I have no idea what is going on or how to fix it.

    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 iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Screen unresponsive following IOS8 update

    not so much a question as a statement but Apple need to sort out unresponsive screens following ios8 update. I have an iPad Air and a mini ipad and both iPads are suffering. I have tried switching off, hard resets and nothing works. Apple must realise there is a problem so I hope they find a solution soon. Searching on Google for example results on a blank page when the search results should be displayed....only after touch the screen again do the results ac

    Hi,  I think we should focus on the apple bugs and not try to insult each other...... No software is without its bugs...
    I have IOS 8.0.2 on my iphone 5 and ipad 3 and managed to get around the syncing issues..... so it appears that this bug may be hard to replicate, and likely to be dependent on on a number of variable factors.....
    JennBaggs, have you tried the following
    turn off iCloud Calendar Sync
    turn off Outlook Calendar sync
    Close all Apps
    Power Off iPAD (holding the power down button)
    Power on ipad
    Perform system reset (Hold down home key and power button until the screen blacks out and displays the apple logo.
    Turn on only outlook calendar sync
    go to your calendar app and ensure your outlook calendar is selected  for view (you can check this by selecting the plus button at the bottom center of the calendar app.
    I'm hoping this sequence of steps remedies your problem....
    Regards

  • IPad mini now terrible to use, apple support no help because warranty is up.  All cause by new ios8 update, wifi issues, many apps no longer work, apps that do work now crash regularly and sometimes take several instances and reboots to even open.

    Apple Composite AV Cable no longer working on Ipad2 after ios8 update. I'm only getting sound no video can you revert back to ios7 or buy a cable that will work any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    The 30-pin connector on the iPhone 4 dock might not have all the connector pins to do video.
    I'm 99% sure the Universal Dock does have the pins (and therefor supports video out).

    Please see the bold.  If you're out of icloud storage, then you won't be able to backup to icloud unless you purchase more storage, but yet you said you backup to icloud.
    If you really did backup to icloud no data would be loss - sounds to me that it didn't backup since you had no more free icloud storage space.

  • Photo orientation upside down since ios8 update

    This is odd... since the ios8 update, my 5s has started taking photos upside down. They appear correct in the 'viewfinder', but in my 'recently added' they are inverted. While taking the photo, the top bar (which contains the flash settings, HDR, timer and front/back camera switcher) is also upside down. Is this a known issue since the update? Here's a photo of what I mean - and although it looks like the photo in the thumbnail is right-side up, when it is opened, the photo is upside-down.

    Same here with iPhone 6
    I've noticed that the first picture I take is OK...it's all the subsequent pics that are upside down.  If I leave the camera app then come back to it...same thing....first pic is OK and all the rest are upside down.  You can tell before you even take the pic...the flash text (on/off/auto) on the top of the screen will be upside down
