Iphone 5 stuck on loading screen after update. Need help!

So I lacked space on my phone to update to iOS8 via WiFi so I attempted to via desktop.
Seemed to be working well until I got to a loading screen on iTunes saying "Restoring iPhone Software".
Phone is also on loading screen and has reached roughly 1/10 of the way then stopped.
Tried unplugging it multiple times and it ends up doing the same thing.
I just want my phone to work without having to take it in to an Apple Store.
Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Probably should have left it alone.  Sometimes it will act as though it is frozen but it is still updating.  May have to do a DFU restore.  Hope you have a backup.

  • Grey Screen after update - need help

    Hi
    My friend just called me - her macbook is stuck on the grey screen with apple logo - after she done the security updates and restarted.
    She can boot into Windows XP (bootcamp) without any issues.
    I'm going over there tomorow to help her out and was wondering if someone could give me a little guidance as to what needs to be done.
    I guess I can try booting off of the instalation disc and reparing permissions, but after that I'm pretty much lost. Any help is greatly appreciated
    Cheers

    Hello,
    I've had this problem twice, and each occurred after a security update.
    What helped me was the following:
    -Take out your powercord and your battery. Press the power button for about 5 seconds.
    -Then, insert your battery and powercord, start the computer, and hold down AppleCTRL+PR.
    From what I understand, one of these two steps resets the power management system on the macbook.
    After you perform these two steps, your computer may still hang at the grey screen with the apple logo. However! Let it hang for about 5-10 minutes and it will automatically restart, and boot properly.
    You can also try calling Apple support on your friend's behalf ... they were more than helpful.

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    A REPEATING CYCLE now i have No PHONE!!!! Help ME PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

    Try it...
    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.
    i´ve done it and worked 100%

  • Windows 8.1 store stuck in the loading screen after update 1. pls help me!!

    I also tried to re-register the store but still its stuck in the loading screen ! pls someone help me!!. its not working after the update 1. I can't download any apps

    Hi,
    How did you re-register store? Is there any error message when you couldn't open Store?
    To resolve store opening problem, firstly, you can try to use WSRESET command to clear store cache for test.
    Secondly, try to use APP Troubleshooter to fix this problem.

  • IPod Touch is stuck on loading screen after slide to unlock. HELP!

    So, my iPod touch 4G is stuck on the loading screen after i unlock it. Just wondering if anyone is having the same problem. Just had my iTouch in less than a week! Help please! thank you

    - First try a reset. Nothing is lost:
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next connect to computer and restore if you can.
    - If the loading screen still shows, let the batter fully drain. After charging for an hour try the above again.

  • Iphone 3gs stuck at loading screen after reset all data

    I bought my iphone 3gs about an hour ago and to have my privacy i reset first the network and next i reset all my data then it restart and now its still at the loading screen about 1hr. Thank u for the help!

    Hello KylaAquino,
    It sounds like you are unable to boot your iPhone successfully after performing a Reset All content and Settings. I recommend first attempting to reset the device in this manner:
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If that does not get you booted to the setup screen, I would next try putting the phone into recovery mode, and attempting a restore with iTunes. This article will help you with that:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • Stuck at login screen after update froze

    Hi everyone, I have a Macbook that is a couple years old and have Leopard on it. Last night, I was prompted to install several updates and then restart my Macbook. I did so and then the updates began to install, but then appeared to stall. I hit the power off button and then turned my Macbook back on again. This brought me to the login screen, but I don't have my Macbook set to require me to login each time I use it. I entered my password and then it went to the blue screen like it was about to bring me to the desktop. But that didn't happen. It brought me back to the login screen, which is where I am still stuck as of this writing. Is there anything I can do? Thanks for your help.

    No guarantee this will solve your problem, but you can give it a try:
    You will need to type some Unix commands. If you are not comfortable with this, I don't know of anything other than a re-install. But if you are careful, you should be OK. I recommend you print this out in a largish mono-spaced font so you don't miss any spaces (or add extra ones). Note that case is important.
    Be careful. Some of these commands are dangerous, since you are going to be root.
    Start up in Single-User mode by holding down the command (Apple) key and the 's' key while you press the power switch. You can let go the keys when you see white text on a black background. When this has finished you will see a prompt ending in '#', although there may be other messages. Type
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    followed by a return, at the prompt and wait a few seconds for 8-10 lines of output. If the last line says repairs were carried out, repeat this command until you get a message 'The volume <yourdiskname> appears to be OK'. Then continue with
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    cd /Library/Preferences
    rm com.apple.loginwindow.plist
    rm com.apple.windowserver.plist
    cd /Library/Caches
    rm -r *
    cd /System/Library
    rm Extensions.kextcache
    cd /System/Library/Caches
    rm -r *
    reboot
    This should now take you to a proper login screen after the normal boot sequence. You should then Repair Permissions by using Disk Utility (in your /Applications/Utilities folder).
    If you get error messages saying files do not exist, just ignore them and type reboot.
    If the above is unsuccessful then you may be able to reinstall OS X using an Archive and Install which does not erase the hard drive:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • IPod Touch stuck at loading screen after clicking Erase all Content and Settings

    I have a 4th generation iPod Touch running iOS 5.0.1 and I recently jailbroke it. I wanted to update to iOS 6 so I went to Settings>Genera>Reset and clicked on Erase all Content and Settings. It is now stuck on the spinning loading screen and its been like this for 3 hours. My homebutton no longer works so I can't put it into DFU mode. I tried to restore in itunes but it won't even connect to itunes and dosn't show up at all. If you have any info, please post. I really don't wanna have to replace my home button or get a new iPod. Thanks

    Try the following as much as you can without Home button working. When it says to place the iPod in recovery mode use this program.

    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

  • IPhone Stuck on Emergency Mode after Update

    Need help on how to get my orginal iPhone 2G out of Emergency Mode only. Here's my issue and the solutions I've tried but so far none of it fixed my iPhone.
    Problem:
    I have an original iPhone (which I kept from 2007) and it has been working just fine as an iPod (no cell service anymore) since 2008 until I updated the firmware to 3.1.3 two days ago when I synced it with iTunes. After the firmware update, it remained stuck on Emergecy Call mode ony.  I know that the orginal iPhone can only be activated with iTunes, but iTunes doesnt seem to recognize it - not even an info about the device can be seen.  So, I tried to restore it through DFU mode, but even after re-installing the firmware, it remained stuck. I tried it both on my Sony VAIO with Win7 computer and iMac with Lion.
    Solutions I tried:
    1. Took my iPhone to Apple store - and they can't unlock it, they said their iTunes version doesn't support the device anymore.
    2. Took it to AT&T - they can't unlock it either even after putting in a SIM card that's active from one of their phones.
    I'm at a dead end on this somehow. Anyone who can give me a solution to this, I'd appreciate it a lot.
    Just FYI, I'm using iTunes beta (10.5.1.25) on Win 7 and iMac  Lion and non beta iTunes on my Mac Air with the same result.
    Will activating the iPhone back with service through AT&T solve this? This seems like it's the only way out? If I have to resort to that, I'll just have to cancel my service pretty much on the same day after activating it as soon as my phone unlocks. Somehow, I found it odd that Apple couldn't even unlock it. I don't remember reading anywhere that they will stop any kind of hardware support to their products.
    Thanks everyone!!! Hope someone can help me with this.

    It didn't activate after the update, so it is like a new phone. Reboot your computer, then follow the steps here:

  • Stuck on Password Screen after update

    I have just updated my Macbook Pro (2011 I think) to Yosemite, however it will not boot now. On the start I get the Password screen but it will not allow me to select any option or enter my password. I cannot bypass this screen.
    Can anyone help please.
    Thanks.

    I have had the same issue of being unable to enter a password when the MBP comes out of sleep mode.   Also;  Safari and Chrome crash often.  Firefox will open but I get error messages.  About a third of my apps won't even open and the MacBook is running at about 60-80% of normal speed since the upgrade;   It takes a long time for the MBP to find and connect to WiFi when in the past, before the upgrade, it was almost instantaneous.
    This is the price we pay for upgrading within the first few days of a release.  By default we have become beta testers for Apple.

  • IPhone 3GS stuck on activation screen after updating to iOS 6.13

    Hi!
    I have updates my iPhone 3GS to iOS 6.13 and it got stuck in the activation mode.
    I went to see Apple Genius and was told that my phone has locked itself to O2 simcard only.
    I contacted O2 and my iPhone has just been unlocked.
    however, when I try to finish the activation it still keeps failining with the message when I use WiFi:
    "could not activate iPhone, your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."
    When I try through iTunes, it says: "we're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time"
    Next available appointments at near apple stores are only mid-week..
    any advice on what should I do?
    I tried restoring it (held lock button until logo came up), but it keeps taking me to activation screen.
    any help would be much appreciated...

    Is there a SIM in the device?  A SIM is required for activation.
    The most common reason for activation issues is due to the device being hacked or jailbroken.  If this is the case, no support can be provided here and Apple will not touch the device.

  • My iPhone 4S is stuck in iTunes screen after updating to iOS 7, what can I do?

    Hi everyone
    I updated iTunes to latest version.
    Connected my 4s to iTunes and started the update to iOS 7.
    Took a few minutes and in the end it gave me an error, dying the iPhone could not be updated for an unknown reason.
    Now the iPhone screen shows "connect to iTunes" and I can't get it out of there!
    Tried pressing both home and start buttons to no avail, won't do anything.
    Help please!

    It worked the second time! At first I reinstalled iTunes (left the 'open right now' option checked) and when I connected the iPhone nothing happened. Then I unninstalled it and reinstalled it again (this time not leaving the open right now option checked) and as soon as I connected my Iphone Itunes openned  and detected it.
    Thanks so much for your help !!
    I suggest to anyone with the same problem to try this method first, the method described in the link DOES NOT WORK.
