Itunes/ipad 2 locks up while updating to iOS 5
so i just bought the ipad 2 days ago, i went to update it to iOS 5
i udated itunes first that updated fine, now it's been going throught the process for almost 2 hours and both ipad and itunes is been at the same location.
is this normal?
I see you are on widows. Turn off your firewalls and your antivirus and try agin. There are a fair number of reports of windows machines getting stuck due to security stuff. Once you get the update installed, you can turn them back on.

Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. Then try it again.

IPhone 4 locks up while updating to iOS 4.3.2
My iPhone 4 (GSM; AT&T) just had the first major problem that I have ever encountered with my iPhone. While updating my phone to iOS 4.3.2 from an iMac (early 2006; Snow Leopard 10.6.7/iTunes 10.2.1), it hung on the update screen for 30 minutes, locked up, and could not reset or shut down. When I tried to plug the frozen iPhone back into my Mac, it wouldn't connect to iTunes at all - the iPhone was completely frozen.
I also own an iPad, and it updated to iOS 4.3.2 without any issues whatsoever.
Has anyone else experienced this problem when updating their iPhones to iOS 4.3.2?Yes this happened to me as well.
I went to download the new software today and my iphone4 froze.
I have the white apple on my screen ( when you turn on your phone) it has not gone away. its been almost an hour now.
I pressed the top button and the home button at the same time like apple support said to do. the white apple disappeared and reappeared a few seconds later.
i dont know what to do !! -

my ipad 3 got truble while updating. there is showing conect to itune while i try to switch on. please let me knwo what is the solution to recover my ipad to previuos stage?
That image on the iPad screen is telling you what to do. Connect the iPad to your computer and use iTunes to restore the iOS software. You said it yourself, something went wrong. So now you have to restore the device.
The instructions for restoring the iOS are in this kb article - the article from which you posted your question.

Make sure that you read all the way to the end under "Additional Information" where it talks about using recovery mode. You just might need to use that in order to restore. -
hi, i just try to update my 3g in itunes unfortunatly it got error while updating it asked me to restore update but unable to restore it , now my 3g i locked and on screen it displying usb symbol connect to itunes ,please help me regarding this
I suspect your error was 1015, not 1051. This usually involves a jailbroken iPhone, use Google to find your solution.

I've tried and tried several times to Connect my device to my PC and follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to download the update from Apple. Problem is iTunes doesn't connect to my iPad so that I can update to iOS 5. I don't see the iPad icon when iTunes loads. I have looked in my computer and see the iPad is recognized. Any one else having this problem? This is also happening with my iPod
Thank you, RipleyI haven't updated yet. Apple's download servers have been too busy. Did you know you can update via wifi instead of connection to your computer?
Here's a description of the update. Not a lot of changes for iPad 1/2.

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 -
Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. I DO NOT have any back ups on itunes. Is there anyway to get out of recovery mode without restoring or recover data after a restore?
Or any other suggestions please? ThanksAs pdroth said, you should have gotten a backup made when you started the update of iOS. If you cannot find a backup, and the phone is in recovery mode, there are no futher suggestions to make. To get the phone working again you have to restore. You cannot force a backup at this time since it is already in recovery mode. It will not allow anything else but a restore at this point.

I bought my iPad from a friend and updated to iOS 7.1. Now in order to activate it I need to sign in using the original iTunes account but I can't contact the owner. Is there a way to get past this or should I toss my iPad into the garbage?
Ask previous owner to remove his device from account

iPad 2 problem. After updating to IOS 8.0.2 iPad says that I need to plug into iTunes. When I do that, the only option is to restore iPad to factory settings? iPad will do nothing until then. I have never had this problem before. Help
Hi ..
Follow Apple's instructions for recovery mode here > iOS: Unable to update or restore

I have an iPad that I want to update to IOS 5.1. I have several apps that each were installed using a different iTunes ID. How can I update the IOS without losing the apps?
To update your phone requires using the latest version of iTunes, on your computer, as well as Internet access. The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so you not only have to make sure all of the content, currently on your phone, is on your computer and accessible, you need to update iTunes first, have Internet access, then update your phone. There is no way around this fact. You could go to an Apple store or use another computer, but you run the risk of losing all of your data it you do that.
