Iphone is stuck on boot screen after new IOS6 update

Hi everybody. I have yet, another problem.
When the new IOS (6) was released, i of course recived a notification on my phone about it.
It said that the new operating system was out and my phone was ready to upgrade.
My situation at the time was that i was not connected or even near any wi-fi for my phone to connect to, and i was on a data plan for my phone so either way the data would be downloaded and put onto my iphone
(I have a regular iphone 4 BTW)
I agreed to upgrade my phone and set it down to handle its business, checking occasionally on its progress, i noticed the progress bar sliding across and thinking: "Ok my phones ugrading, nice and easy, new IOS wonder what apple will fix for me."
Then after a while of updating, my phone screen went black. I tried to turn it on and the "Connect to itunes" screen popped up.
(This was a problem because i wasnt near a computer with itunes)
After reaching one, I attempted to finish updating my phone when a bomb dropped on me.
A pop up in itunes read. (Itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode would you like to restore it.) or something like that) and this surprised me because I had alot stored on my phone
contacts
settings
A TON OF MUSIC
etc.
And getting over the stress of my problem i restored it.
leading to ANOTHER set of problems
My phone being stuck on the apple screen upon activation
I have tried everything to get my phone to its former glory but nothing has worked  I've held the buttons, ive searched many times on how and nothing has worked.
SO please, if anybody knows what is happening and has ANY Experience please respond
thanks.

So you updated the phone without first doing a backup.
Now you want to recover the data that was not backed up?
Ummmm.... there is nothing to recover.
FYI, music has never been a part of a backup, it should already exist in the iTunes library on the computer that the device syncs with.
Also, if the device had been used as designed, all your contacts, notes, calendar entries, etc would be synced with a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.  While this would not eliminated the possibility of data loss, it would certainly minimize the data lost.

  • Iphone 3gs stuck at emergency screen after 4.01 update

    1st of all i would like to say sorry if this has been posted before.. i did a search and it turns out to be a gazillion hits... no time to search all of them.
    i bought the iphone from malaysia last week.. and the ppl activate it while it was still on 3.1.3 firmware..now im back in my country ( Brunei Darussalam) and ive update it to 4.01.. and now im stuck at the emergency call screen.. it wont activate with itunes as it stated the sim is not supported...
    if anyone knows how to overcome this please do tell... thanks..
    p/s never been jailbreak before...

    The device was jailbroken when you purchased it most likely.
    When you did the upgrade, it relocked to the original carrier.
    The solution now is:
    1)Sell it and buy an iPhone intended for your country.
    2)Jailbreak it.
    3)Contact the carrier it was originally intended for and see if they offer unlocking.

  • Yosemite stuck on boot screen after attempted disk repair

    So I had and old 500Gb laptop hard drive lying around and a sata reader so I figured see if I could make use of a free 500 gigs. I plugged the drive in and it didn't mount so naturally I checked Disk Util. After attempting to mount the disk with no success, I attempted to erase it which resulted in the unable to write to last block error. Finally I figured I'll run repair and see where it gets me. Repair was taking forever so I saved the job for overnight. Before I went to bed I started the repair and let it run. At some point I woke up to a slight click of my entire system shutting down, followed by the startup chime. While concerned I didn't think anything bad would happen so I figured I would wait until morning to simply walk over and log in, but here is w the problems started. When I got to my computer in the morning it was still on the grey boot screen with the apple and the bar. I booted into recovery mode. Succeeded in repairing the external 500 gig drive then checked my Macintosh HD and ran repairs. A few small things were repaired and I expected it to boot fine, but no. I haves restarted many multiple times and given it a while to load, I have reset the p-ram, I have done everything i know how to do. I really need this computer for school, so a quick solution would be great. What happened and how do I avoid this in the future?
    Thanks,
    Thomas

    I rebooted my machine and was back to either getting stuck at 50% or just seeing a black screen. Both times I was using a Kensignton USB 3.0 Multi-Display Adapter as well as the Mini DisplayPort to DVI port. Once I power off (hold 10 second power button), unplug all external monitors, I'm able to boot into the OS.

  • IPhone 4 stuck in boot screen - Why did it happen?

    I've got an iPhone 4 16GB Carrier Unlocked, and out of the blue, I turned it off and when I proceeded to turn it back on in the end of the day, it got stuck in the boot screen. The problem is already resolved, I've got it into the DFU mode, restored it and lost everything I've had added since the last backup, obviously. The thing is: I have NEVER attempted to jailbreak it or install any sort of custom firmware, whatever. I didn't make any recent changes on it, over any aspect; I didn't install any apps nor update the ones I have, recently. Still, I had this awesome surprise — and I keep wondering: What could have possibly happened to my device, that led me to this?

    I've tried TinyUmbrella to see if that can fix the boot loop issues, but it hasn't worked....
    I've deleted the gsp Apple jargon in the host file in my Windows>system32>drivers>etc folder,...
    It's not a jailbroken device, or water damaged or anything.
    If you got error 3194, used tinyumbrella, and had to edit your hosts file, your phone was in fact hacked, possibly attempting to downgrade the iOS.  Error 21 suggests a hardware problem.  You need to take the phone to Apple or an Apple authorized service provider.

  • IPhone 4s 8gb stuck on activation screen after 6.01 update

    As stated above, I updated my iPhone 4s 8gb through iTunes to 6.01, the update failed, and had me restore the iphone. So I did, now it's on the activation screen. It says I have no service (Verizon, SIM card is in). I try to activate through WiFi it gives me the error saying the activation server is unavialble. If I go to activate through iTunes it says my request could not be proccessed at this time, try again later. I've been trying for three days. I've called apple support and all they could tell me is to take it to an apple store ( hour and a half drive ). I bought the iPhone brand new in March, it has not been unlocked or jailbroken. Any ideas?

    If you can turn of the iPhone, I was going to suggest turning on the iPhone by holding down the on/off button and the home button at the same time in order to reset the iPhone, and then retry installing thru iTunes.  One other thing is to make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed; I think we're up to version 7.

  • Iphone 4 stuck in boot loop after failed ios5 restore/update

    i'm sure this question has already been answered and i just can't find it.  After attempting to update/ restore my iphone 4 gsm to ios 5 it recieved an odd error code something with =yes at the end. Now my phone just keep rebooting: apple screen, spining disk, loading bar like during a restore for 1 second then it repeats this process. Itunes will not reconized the device unless i force it into dfu or recovery mode. I have tried everything to get it to restore dfu, recovery, the previous firmware 4.3.5 and everything gives the error "this device isn't eligible for this build." any tips possible sulotion would be great as of right now i have a bricked iphone 4

    I had a similar problem on mine with the same symptoms so I called apple since my PC couldn't even see my iPhone 4 when it was plugged in. The rep told me to hold the home button and on/off switch like when doing a hard resatart and hold those two buttons together for 10 seconds and once 10 seconds pass then release the on/off switch but continue holding the home button until the phone shows up again under "devices" in iTunes.

  • Iphone 4 stuck in recovery mode after trying to update

    I tried to update my iPhone 4 via iTunes to iOS4.3. and after a while, iTunes gave me a error saying that my iPhone cannot be updated because of an unknown error (10) it's now stuck on a screen showing a USB cable and the iTunes logo. I tried restoring again and now i am getting the unable to restore error 11 message and it is still stuck on the screen showing a USB cable and the iTunes logo. I've also tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling but nothing seems to work.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated. thanks.

    No, i phoned Apple and they suggested the following:
    1) Power off
    2) Hold down Home button
    3) Simultaenously plug into computer whie holding down Home button
    4) Hit restore button in iTunes
    Still does not work for me, but i think my iTunes may haven been corrupted during installation, so will try it on another computer and see if it works. I read error 10, is something to do with iTunes.

  • White screen after downloading iOS6 update

    I just downloaded the iOS6 update onto my iPod touch, 4th generation.  (I was prompted to do so when I turned it on this afternoon.)  The update "stuck" midway, and after waiting more than an hour, I forced the iPod to turn off by holding down the sleep/wake button and the home button simultaneously.  The iPod shut down and then restarted itself.  However, the restart left me with a white/blank screen.  Is there any way I can restore this iPod to factory defaults?  It does not appear as a device in iTunes.

    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.

  • Iphone 5s stuck at activation screen after restoring to factory setting

    I had deleted my Apple ID and created one same Apple ID again. After i restored my iphone to factory setting, it stuck at the activation screen, even if i filled in the correct Apple ID and password, it shows "cannot use this Apple ID to unock this phone'. Seek for help.

    You need the AppleID and passcode used to originally activate the iPhone.
    This is a new security feature in iOS7 called Activation Lock. There is no
    workaround.
    Without the AppleID and passcode used to activate the iPhone, it will be useless
    to you and everyone else.
    If it is only the passcode that you forgot, try here:

  • Stuck at boot screen after installing updates.

    I was prompted to install updates. Got a message stating that the updates couldn't be installed and that the system will be restarted. When booting it gets stuck at the apple screen with a spinning wheel. A progressbar appears for a while and ticks to about 5% and then disappears. If I leave it there nothing happens for hours except the computer getting very hot.
    I've tried to use keyboard commands to boot in either safe mode or from a CD but I can't get them to work.
    Using an Imac with a BT keyboard.
    Thankful for any suggestions.

    the equivalent to the options key on a winsloth keyboard would be alt.
    to eject the DVD, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
    see if that gets you a step further, then post back.

  • 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:

  • 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...
