Just got my iPhone 5s at&t out of a blue screen boot loop how do i prevent this in the future?

My sister has had her iphone 5s at&t for a while. While using it would get stuck on the apple logo but would usually reboot and be fine within a minute. Today i just got stuck there and didn't go back to normal, so i decided to completely restore it (7.1.0) and after 10 tries of pluggin the usb in different ports and putting it in dfu and restore mode i finally got it to work. (9 of those tries it finished the restore then went into a blue screen and proceeded to show an apple logo with a loading bar that wouldn't move). Now i'm just holding on to it and probably going to take it to the apple store to get it replaced but it has no warrenty and im not prepared to pay 200 or more for a phone thats in perfect condition without a scratch(kidda stupid to charge a flat rate for every problem i understand if the phones glass is broken but for os problems). So is there any options i have rather than taking it to apple to stop this problem from happening.

    Max,
    It really can take very long to import and process so many images - I would not dare to make a prediction.
    Can you open the Activity Viewer?
    From Aperture's main menu bar: Window > Show Activity.
    This window will tell you the filename of the image that is currently being processed.
    if you are seeing, that the import is still far from being finished, you might to pause certain tasks directly from this panel, like the generation of previews or scanning for faces. I'd let the import run, if you see that it is making progress.
    Have you enabled very time-consuming options, like the generation of high resolution previes or scanning for faces and places? if yes, and the import is not making any progress at all, I'd disable thes options in the Aperture preferences for the initial import. You can add these later for the projects where you want to use these features.
    Regards

    As deggie said, you are the victim of Activation Lock.  Activation Lock is described here:

    Either you need to contact the previous owner to release the phone from Find My iPhone, or if you cannot contact the previous owner, it is likely you received a stolen iPhone and it will be useless to you.

  • IPhone 5S Blue Screen Boot Loop iOS 8

    Hi all
    I've had my 32GB iPhone 5S for 5 months now. I installed iOS 8 when it came out, and have had no issues up until today.
    Today while using my device, all of a sudden the screen went blue, turned off, and re-booted with the Apple logo. Was weird, but it was working again after.
    About 20 minutes later, all **** broke loose. Now the phone is continuously looping from the Apple logo to the blue screen. I've tried plugging the phone into my MacBook but iTunes won't recognise it unless it's in DFU mode, in which I have tried restoring the phone through that and iTunes, only resulting in wasting about 10 minutes of the software loading onto the iPhone, then the blue-screen occurring and "Error 9" appearing on iTunes.
    The other issue is as of last Sunday, I now live in Singapore. I normally would take my phone down to my local Apple store in Melbourne to get it replaced.
    The phone has never been opened, repaired, etc. I had my original 5S replaced about 2-3 weeks ago by Apple Chadstone due to the screen clicking issue.
    Any ideas/tips/advice? This is doing my head in.

    Hi K.Dandr,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the scope of the issues you are describing. If you are having multiple issues after updating to iOS 8, and the issues returned a couple days after a restore of the OS and your apps/data, you may want to make sure you have a current backup of your data in iTunes, then try restoring your iPhone to factory settings and testing it in that default condition to see if the issues persist before restoring your data. You may find the following article helpful:

  • I just got an iPhone 4s and when I tried to sync it with iTunes it said to uninstall and download the 64bit version. I uninstalled all ove my apple software before I could get it to install at all. Still doesnt work. Doesnt even recognize my phone.

    I just bought an iPhone 4s yesterday and it wouldn't connect to the iTunes 10.6.3 I had already on my laptop for my husbands 3gs and my brother in laws iPhone 4. Neither of them ever had a problem syncing with itunes. When I tried I was told to uninstall itunes and reinstall a 64bit version. Took several attempts but I finally got it. Then it said that I needed to upgrade my apple mobile device support and for me to uninstall itunes again and reinstall it. I have done all of this several times and still cannot get it to work right. I have uninstalled every Apple software listed on my computer and had to reinstall it all. Help!!!!!!!

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • After a restore, iphone 4 won't move past set up screen in itunes, how do i fix this?

    After a system restore, my iphone 4 won't move past the set up screen when syncing with itunes, what happened? How can I fix this?

    I had this problem too recently. I kept restoring as new iphone and it kept coming back to this screen after 12hrs of restoring. I got fed up and decided to select the set up as new phone and it popped over to the normal sync screen and started syncing all my apps back and set the phone up as it was.
    Must be a bug in the system.

  • I just got a new computer and need to add it to my Itunes account how do I do this

    I just bought a new computer and I need to add the computer to my Itunes account and cant see to figure it out.

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases: FIle>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything form the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

  • I just dropped my iPhone 4s and now it has a blue screen with black vertical lines. what can i do?

    will i need to buy and new one or what?

    When the 4S was first introduced, two flavors of AppleCare were offered: Regular & AppleCare Plus. AppleCare Plus permits an out of warranty exchange for US $49, twice during the life of the contract. Regular AppleCare has no such provision & an out of warranty exchange will be US $199. Regular AppleCare is no longer sold in the US.

  • Hi i have just had my iphone repaired and they have given me a new imei number.How can i get istore and the sim to recognise the new no.?

    Any ideas please?

    That means you've been given a new phone. Don't know what you mean about "istore" or your "sim". Are you saying your phone doesn't work when you put your sim in?

  • Just got new iphone 4s. trying to edit photo but screen is black and with a "constrain" bar at the bottom of my screen, can't clear it or get back to photos

    Just got new iphone 4s. Trying to edit photo but screen is black and with "constraint" bar at the bottom.  I am unable to clear the black screen or get back to photo gallery.  Help!

    - Exactly what are you doing? You saying you are trying to syn it to new comnputer. When yuo sync it to a new computer iTunes will erase the iPod and replace its contents with what is i the iTunes library of the new computer.

  • I just got an iPhone 5s, and I restored from a previous back up and now I can't restore the phone without "turning off the find my iphone setting"?

    I just got an iPhone 5s, and I restored from a previous back up (mistake) and now I can't restore the phone to start again without "turning off the find my iphone setting" but it's using an old email address as the icloud login, which i don't have a password to / never used for an icloud account. I have gone and changed my settings to a different email on my icloud / apple ID but on my phone it won't let me change the email address for icloud, it's greyed over and keeps trying to verify?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
