Iphone 5 is stuck on "Update Requested" while trying to download ios8 and it's been like that for 2 days now. I have plenty of space almost 8gb free. Any ideas?

Hi Risdian, thanks for the comments and suggestions, however none seemed to lead to any success. When setting the carrier off automatic, after a few seconds of searching the device returns the message, "Unable to load network list", and I have placed my sim into another unlocked iPhone 5 and it worked perfectly, picking up service almost immediately. I can also iMessage and connect to wifi fine, so i don't fully understand the issue.
I guess my iPhone is in need of repair, so if there are no other conceivable 'at home' fixes, i'll have to bring the phone to the apple store for a diagnosis. Any other suggestions or comments would be happily welcomed
Thanks for replying and commenting, you were very helpful

  • HT4623 so I am updating my phone to the newest IOS and it has been doing it for hours.  I have now plugged it into the computer and it says that it is in recover mode and I should restore it?  What does that mean?  Do I lose everything on my phone?

    I am updating my phone to the newest IOS and it has been doing it for hours.  I have now plugged it into the computer and it says that it is in recover mode and I should restore it?  What does that mean?  Do I lose everything on my phone?  Is there anything else I can do?

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • I've downloaded the ios7 to my iphone but it didn't verify so I connected my iphone to itunes and updated it .. it's now stuck half way through saying 'updating iphone software' it's been like that for 40 mins .. should I be worried?

    I've downloaded the ios7 software to my iphone but it didn't let me install it over air so I connected my iphone to itunes and updated it .. it's now stuck half way through saying 'updating iphone software' it's been like that for 40 mins .. should I be worried?

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to activate after the update, and the server is getting overloaded. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

    Hi bert090909,
    Are you trying to convert your files from within Adobe Reader? If so, please make sure that you have the most current version by choosing Help > Check for Updates. Earlier versions of Reader could cause the specific error that you're reporting.
    Please let us know how it goes.

    Hi esmelicious,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it can be frustrating when you run into issues updating to the new iOS. In your specific situation, I would recommend placing your iPhone in what is called recovery rode and restore it from there. Please use the steps and information located in the attached link to restore using recovery mode.

    Dear ED3K:
        First:  I hope you don't work for Apple as you have some poor communication skills in assistance. That said, I would never in a million years pay you 45 dollars to help me. I think I would sleep with Satan first!!
    No one here works for Apple. This is a user-to-user technical support forum. Everyone here is a volunteer. You tend to get from this forum what you bring to it. If you come in ranting and raving and saying you're going to throw your iPhone out the window and that Apple is mean, people are not likely to respond to you with sweetness and light and puppies and kittens.
    If you really want help, I'd suggest you take a deep breath and then start a new thread in which you explain the problems you're having, the steps you've taken to resolve the problems, any error messages you've gotten. Stick to the facts. Check the attitude and emotion at the door. People will do their best to help you.
    Best of luck.

    Double tap the Home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar...tap & hold any app until they all start to wiggle...tap the red minus sign to remove every app shown. Tap the Home button when finished. Try to delete the app now.

    There is something else that can cause this issue. Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • IPhone 4S stuck in recovery mode while trying to upgrade to iOS 7.0.4

    I ran into the issues with my iPhone 4S while trying to upgrade it it iOS 7.0.4 OTA and I have tried everything I can to recover it but no luck. I have tried different USB ports, different PCs altogether with av tuned off, and finally a MAC Pro this morning. I am stuck and miserable. I did everything that a number of forums have mentioned in terms of switching off anti-virus, clearing off host files, checking windows and mac firewall settings, setting the phone to DFU mode and trying over - you name it.
    The error I run into most half way through the upgrade is "Unknown Error (29)". According to Apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694), it has to do with anti-virus but last night I spent 2 hours building an image with no av or firewall running and tried and still ran into the error. Even tried "Fix it" from Microsoft to clear off the host file configurations as prescribed.
    Any help is welcome. Much needed.

    Hi, sorry for my late reply.
    FIXED!!!! For me anyway, and I hope for you!
    So I tried to update to ios 7 and after downloading the software itunes tried to update my iPad 3. I recieved the error 3004 and was stuck in the "Connect to iTunes" screen and
    could not get out of it. Completely annoyed!
    But then I remembered something from when I used to fiddle with iphones. I opened a program I had called TinyUmbrella, which can be used to force boot out of recovery mode (the
    "connect to itunes" screen).
    My ipad was still connected to itunes and in recovery mode. I opened TinyUmbrella, selected my ipad (which was just shown by the serial number), then clicked "Exit Recovery" and
    BAM!!! It immediately kicked my out of the recovery screen and started my ipad back up to my home screen.
    Now, my ipad was still on 6.1.3 since the update to ios 7 had failed. But I didn't care, my ipad was fully functional again just like I left it before. Thank God for
    TinyUmbrella! Here's the CNET link for TinyUmbrella if you need it:
