IPhone 4S Frozen whilst updating 10.5.1.42

I have been trying to update my phone to my iTunes, and I was returned with error 1603, and now my iPhone is frozen on the download screen of update.
I cannot turn it off, I hold the off button down for 10 seconds plus and nothing happens.
When I connect my phone to my computer, iTunes doesn't recognise that there is a device connected, and when I run diagnostics through iTunes, it says no iPhone found.
The phone is completely frozen.

The same thing is happening to me (same itunes version, windows 7 and iphone 4s).
I found that if you reboot and try and reboot and try and reboot and try and reboot and try it will eventually work once.  but then on the next sync it hangs again.
also it seems to hang in different places (the progress bar is never in the same place when it hangs).
Let me know if you figure out a better way to fix it.

  • My iphone is frozen after updating the iOS 7

    If your computer doesn't see the phone when you plug it in, you may have to take it to an Apple Store.

  • Iphone 4 frozen while updating to 4.3.4

    have decided to update to version 4.3.4. after waiting for a long time.. it suddenly got frozen. my phone just shows the itunes logo and the USB  on the screen. i turned off the pc and turned it on again. itunes popped up and prompted me that i have to restore my iphone. WHY??? can i not do anything now except restore? it says i will be losing all my data.. and be restored to Factory Settings. AM I LOSING ALL that i have on my phone>? Notes, messages, Photos?

    If you synced your iPhone with that computer before then you should have a backup in iTunes it will just restore the backup after it finishes resetting your iPhone. 

  • HT4061 How do I restore my iphone 4? Whilst updating to new software my computer crashed. This has left me with a phone that won't respond at all and itunes says 'restore your phone'. I can't press anything without getting a picture of a usb. not useful.

    My computer crashed while updating my iphone 4.
    My phone now will not respond other than a USB symbol to itunes.
    When I plug into itunes it says 'reset your phone'.
    I've tried holding the on/off and home button together, nothing.
    On another note, it isn't possible to schedule into a shop in London until a week today. There is something seriously wrong with this picture.
    Any help would be awesome.
    Thanks

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • Iphone 3g frozen while updating to os 4

    my iphone froze while updating to os4. my phone is licensed in india with airtel and it is an official phone. the software got downloaded on itunes and the update was also amost done untill in the last process of restoring i received an error 043... unfortunately i dont remember the exact error but after that its not starting at all. it is not even getting restored an error (9) shows on the screen and if i try to restore it on another computer (1611) error showsup. i have become helpless as apple india has no support service they have asked me get in touch with the subscriber who will send it to their technicians.. till now i have updated to all the new versions but havent faced a problem till date but this is quiet different and no one seems to hv a answer to it.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    Apple is not listening, this is a user to user forum. Some people solved the problem by restoring "as new iPhone" without using the backup made prior to the upgrade when running 3.x firmware.
    Since I "handed down" my 3G, I did the same and experienced no big difference in the performance after that.

  • My iphone is frozen while updating iphone firmware, help!

    I tried to update the software, its like 95% thru but hasnt moved in the past 11 hours. both my iphone and itunes are at a standstill, itunes saying it is updating the firmware.... any advice?

    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time..The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...Release the Buttons...Turn the Phone on , your phone is factory unlocked right ??

  • IPhone 5 freezes whilst updating ios

    Everytime I go to download a new version of ios through iTunes, my iPhone 5 freezes. Why? Also, it won't reboot. Why?

    A bit more info: when the phone freezes, it has the iTunes logo plus a cable end plus arrow. The computer no longer sees the iphone. Pressing the sleep and home button together does not solve the problem, however long one holds them. The only solution is to go to an Apple store where they reset to factory settings.

  • In the middle of my last update it stopped updating in the because of an unknown source, and now my screen on my iphone is frozen with the apple logo and a loading bar. Help??

    in the middle of my last update it stopped updating in the because of an unknown source, and now my screen on my iphone is frozen with the apple logo and a loading bar. Help??

    Unknown "source"?  Do you mean unknown "error" followed by a number?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3221
    Follow the instructions in the article.  When you connect your phone again, you may have to press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo reappears, then continue pressing the home button until iTunes detects the phone in recovery mode.

  • My laptop died whilst updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 7

    My laptop died whilst updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 it is now stuck on the connect to itunes screen but the itunes that it was synched to no longer exists how do I reset it?

    I had the same thing yesterday. After google gave me nothing and after I was sure my phone had enough charge to restart, I did a reset on my phone...
    Holding down the Power button, volume button and selector button on the front - for about 30 secs (or untill I knew the beeping had stopped).
    I cant remember if I then restarted it or it it restarted itself, but now its back to normal! No memory loss from the phone either.
    Freeked me out as its a new iphone 4s but glad to have it back! Without having to take it to get fixed by a pro.
    Hope that helps
