IPhone froze during update.  How do you unfreeze?

When updating iPhone, a partial setup of iTunes was made.  iTunes is not wanted or needed - user is deaf.  iPhone is now froze with a request to connect to iTunes.

I'm guessing you mean iTunes on a computer (as opposed to iTunes on an iPhone).

iTunes is used for a whole lot more than sounds.  For one thing, it is used to update the iPhone!  For another, unless you are running OS X Mavericks on a Mac, it houses iBooks.  It also houses movies and apps.
Bottom line:  Get iTunes on your computer and then connect the iPhone to it.
Get iTunes from here:

  • HT1600 Froze during update what do you do

    My Apple TV froze during update, I can't turn off. What do I do?

    Thanks for the reply. I have always enjoyed your posts.
    I figured that I would be looking at a restore event for my ATV3 when the update appeared to have frozen.
    So since I had nothing to lose I did a hard reboot on the ATV3. (off and on again)
    The device restarted and as expected, the update had not been applied.
    Did the update again. ( I was surprised at how long the update process took after the download.)
    After the update seemed to have completed, The lone white apple icon blinked off the black screen, the TV/Flat screen via HDMI stayed black/blank. After turning the TV off and on and replugging the HDMI cables and still having a blank screen.  I had no choice.
    I did another hard reboot on the ATV3.
    System started up with no problems and the update took hold.

  • IPhone froze during update and lost CD I purchased.

    I plugged my iPhone 4 in after downloading a music CD on the iPhone. I was trying to transfer the CD to my iTunes library. When I plugged in my phone it said that there was an update available, 4.0.1 and asked if I wanted to update my phone. I clicked yes and when I came back a few minutes later the phone froze and had to be completely restored. However, the music CD was not transferred to my iTunes library prior to freezing and the CD is lost. Is there a way that I can get this music back into my iTunes library of back to my iPhone without having to pay for it again since it was a software issue with the phone?

    Unfortunately, you may have to pay for the CD again. You should have had the option to backup your iPhone or been prompted to transfer purchases before the upgrade.
    You can contact iTunes support and let them know what happened and see if they will authorize another download for your account.

    With the new Iphone update, how do you avoid Facebook syncing your friends list with your contacts??

    The iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time.  If you sync to another it will erase the current content from the iphone and repalce with content from the new computer.

  • HT1349 how do you unfreeze your ipod touch

    how do you unfreeze an ipod touch. because i pressed to delete everything on the ipod and it did and then it shows up that i have to put the usb on itunes and then it just freezes on that screen and then when i connect it, it doesnt show up in itunes.

    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 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.

    You make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store. You hand them your damaged phone and your credit card. They charge $199 plus applicable taxes to your card and give you an out of warranty replacement phone.

  • If your ipod is set for manual update, how do you add playlists?

    If your ipod is set for manual update, how do you create and add playlists to the ipod?

    Thanks! I have several ipod books and they told me about manually updating songs but not playlists. That tutorial is VERY helpful. I assume that if you manually update the playlist, all the songs contained in it would have had to been previously manually updated to the ipod....to say it another way, updating the playlist does not transfer any songs. Am I correct?

    Dear .... My brother lost his iphone 4 in dubia how can you help as?

    Nobody here can help. If your brother enabled "Find my iPhone" in the settings of the lost phone he might be able to trace it using the app and iCloud, but if not, it is gone.

  • My iPhone froze during an update.

    I was updating my iPhone 4 on iTunes, and it said it was restarting my iPhone. About 10 minutes ago, the apple logo that comes up when you are turning on came on, and it hasn't stopped. iTunes won't recognize my phone now so I can't restore it. I am freaking out and I need to fix this. WHAT DO I DO? ):
