IPhone stopped working while updating to ios 6.

It won't turn on and doesn't show up on iTunes when connected.
It was fully charged. I tried holding the home and power button simultaneously for upt to 20seconds but nothing happened. HELP!!!

So, my home button has been working fine for the past few days.
Simply plugging it into the computer and doing a regular sync seemed to do the trick.
Like the original poster, I upgraded to IOS6 over wifi and immediately started having problems with the home button being slow or not working at all. I plugged my iPhone 4 into my Mac with the intent to either restore to a fresh IOS6, or fall back to IOS5 if that didn't work. I let it sync one last time, but that took a while and I had to unplug and run off to work before doing any kind of restore.
And somehow the home button has been fine ever since (knock on wood).
So, if anybody is having the same problem, and you normally sync and upgrade over wifi, just try plugging it into your computer to see if it works for you.

Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6, help!

Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6. The little iPhone charger charges it very very slowly, but the charger gets really hot after a while. I restored it and everything works but the charger. It's only a few months old, should I try a new iPad wall charger block?

Hi,
I did this after reading the forums and it made no difference. it has actually charged from 14% to 67% but thats taken over 12 hours.
Will monitor it and if no joy will go to a apple store
Thanks

It means that your phone crashed during the updating process and is now in recovery mode. See this article:

HT201371 Touch ID stopped working after updating to IOS 7.1.

Good morning to all,
My touch ID stopped working after updating to IOS 7.1.
It was working perfectly until the update and then it stopped recognizing my prints
I've reset the phone and deleted my fingerprints and now I can't even add a fingerprint again.
I am sure this is not a hardware problem since the phone was working perfectly before the update and it didn't fall nor anything similar.
Also the sensor is clean as well as my fingers.

Same problem... I think we all should let Apple know of this issue. http://www.apple.com/feedback/ tell them the probelm. So when they get too many complains they will surely fix it ASAP with a software update.

My iPhone got locked while updating to IOS via my laptop. How can I restart my phone

My iPhone got locked while updating to IOS via my laptop. How can I restart my pihone?

Thank you Roger Wilmut. I am grateful for your response.
I bought the iPhone new and set up by myself. I still remember apple id details. The problem is that while the update was on, I needed to enter my apple id on the phone to complete the update my screen lock has been activated. Now the phone only displays the iTunes logo and the USB cable being inserted. But I can still access my the phone contents through my laptop. I need to force the phone to restart. How can I do that? mind you I have pressed the home and power buttons together for a couple of minutes. It will only display the apple logo for a few seconds and then return to the iTunes and USB cable display. Maybe the phone is hanging. So please help me.
Thank you very much

IMessage stops working after updating to ios 7

i have an iphone 4s and after updating to ios 7 imessage stopped working. i tried to activate it and it just doesn't. i tried to restore it and use a backup and it's still not working

I have the exact same problem that you have described. I have tried all the "fixes" that have been suggested and not a single one has worked.
Apparently we are part of a small** percentage of Apple users that have been affected.
Small to Apple is over 2 million people.
You would think that for such a large company who has had mutiple iOS update problems in the past ( The iOS 5 update bricked my phone ) they would have these issues resolved by now.
It's been 2 weeks and there are multiple contacts that I cannot text or they can't reply to me.
It is very frustrating!
It seems the only solution right now is to do a complete factory reset of the phone, but even then it could take up to 24 hours for your iMessage to verify, if it infact works.
I am very disappounted in Apple and the service they have "provided" to solve this issue.
Perhaps next time they do an update they should restrict who can dowload it and when to avoid bogging down the servers and causing issued.
As perviously noted though this issue only affect a **small** percentage of Apple users, so I am sure they are in no hurry to fix this issue, after all it's been 2 weeks and even with the iOS 7.0.2 update the problem STILL isn't resolved.

My iTunes stopped working after updating to iOS 7

I am using an iPhone 4S and after updating to iOS 7, I couldn't open my iTunes app and could not update/download anything in my App Store anymore. I tried logging my Apple ID in and out, but once I've signed out, I couldn't sign back in. Now I can't activate my iMessage anymore. How can I fix this?
I've tried restarting my phone countless times, but nothing works. There is nothing wrong with my wifi connection either.
Thanks.

Iphone 5 stopped working after updated to IOS 7.1

I have just updated my iphone 5 to IOS 7.1 and unfortunately it stopped working. I can not turn it on. Anyone got the same problem? My phone is already out of warranty so I have no idea how much it would cost to fix my died phone

My sons iPhone 5 did the same thing after updating to iOS 7.1.
You may have to connect the device to a computer running iTunes and do a restore on the device. Restore as new. If you don't have a backup everything will be lost but you may get the device working again.

Why do some apps stop working after update to iOS 6?

I notice one of my apps stopped working after the iOS 6 update, in particular Uno HD, which I paid $5 for. Why did this happen?

I had solved the problem by installing the free app, which seemed to reset something, then I deleted the free app, and the paid version continued to work until the next day. I was going to show one of my friends the game, and then it once again would not open- the same problem was back, as soon as I went to open it, it crashed back to the desktop without opening the game. I had to re-install the free version again, and for a while, neither version would work, but then after a while, it started working again. I guess I have to leave the free app installed or I won't be able to use the paid version of Uno.
EDIT
Just checked again, took the Uno app out of resident memory by double-pushing the home button and holding the app icon til it starts to shake, and then hit the minus symbol, which deletes it out of resident memory.
Went to open it again, and it of course crashed back to the desktop again. So there is some issue with it that is making it unstable.
I have to keep pushing on either one of the app icons continuously until one of them starts, and then the other one will start.
Gameloft needs to do an update.

Why did my camera connection kit stop working after updating to iOS 6.0.1?

Camera connection kit stopped working on ios6.01 updated phone. Same camera kit works on the iPhone that I did not update. Why does it not work with 6.0.1?

The same story. No 3G after updating to 6.1. Told my daughter temporarily not to do an update on her iPad with 6.01. We've exchanged SIMs. I inserted her SIM in my iPad - 3G appeared immediately. And my SIM in her iPad with ios 6.01 also WORKS FINE. We use the same provider - Megafon Moscow. After attempting to revert SIMs to original configuration, 3G disappeared on my iPad again. Don't know what's going on with SIM during the update to 6.1

Laptop stop working while updating bios

Lately when i turn on my laptop, the screen is black, caps lock and scroll blinking twice, i read that i should update my bios.
The problem is when its updating ( insydeFlash is running half way ) i noticed my laptop stop working.
The window is on, i can see everything on screen, even the sound of my laptop, but i can move the mouse, well >.>
I dont know what should i do? Should i turn off my laptop?

, Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums. When it comes to a bios update the rule is if it isn't broke don't fix it. If it is locked and not responding then the only choice you have is to do a hard reset first. HP Notebook PCs - Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset Once you have done that here is a link for doing a bios recovery.

My microfone stopped working after updating to iOS 6.1

And my headset stopped working the left side. It's the Ipod 5th generation

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one at no cost is the iPod has not been abused.

Bluetooth stopped working after updating to iOS 6.1

Yesterday I update the software on my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.1 and after starting back up it would not find my bluetooth headset (that I've used for the last year). It will not find any bluetooth devices. Previously, it would locate my headset, iPad, and iMac but now it lists them but will not connect and only shows a continuous search. The bluetooth icon is gray in color.
I've turned the phone off and on several times, and also done a hard reset twice - the results have been negative.

Try going into setting> General> Reset> Reset Network setting and if that does not work try reset all settings.
