My 5s update has been stuck on the 8 update for 4 hours on step 6 of 6 waiting for changes to apply. Why so long??
I Am updating my 5s to the new software Using my laptop. In doing so it seems stuck on step 6 of 6. I just don't know if this is normal to take so long or I need to start over, restore, etc.

my iPad has been stuck on the apple log for almost 10 hrs after trying to update to ios 8, how can this be fixed?
Try reset iPad and continue with update.
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
Note: Data will not be affected. -

You may have to restore your iPad using Recovery mode, but try a reset first. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons when you see the logo. This takes about 10-15 seconds.
IF the update will not complete or you see the connect to iTunes message on the screen, you have to restore your iPad.

My iMac seems to have frozen during the update- how long should I expect the update to take? The 'installing software update' bar is still showing itself working but has been stuck in the same position for over an hour. Any thoughts?
Update2: There is something very wrong with wireless on mountain lion recovery. I don't know what the problem is, but this link may explain:
http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/10/os-x-mountain-lion-10-8-1-beta-released-for-dev-t esting-may-include-wi-fi-fix/
Wireless recovery would start out with over 25 hours estimated and kept on failing. It turns out to be a two step process of downloading a few Mbytes then a 4Gbyte .dmg file, but I couldn't even download the Mbyte file. I bought the thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter, plugged it in, restarted recovery and download of a little more than 4Gbytes took less than an hour. My limiting factor was probably comcast home internet rate of 12Mbps. The wi-fi wireless connection should be able to do over 100Mbps, so wireless shouldn't be much slower than wired, except wi-fi wireless is broken. Now that ML is installed and updated, wi-fi seems fine now, as I am using it right now, but I haven't tried downloading a big file yet.
Don't use wi-fi wireless for Mountain Lion recovery. -
My ipod has been stuck on the apple logo for two days
my ipod has been stuck on the apple logo for two days after plugging my ipod into a macbook that has recently jailbroke a friends ipod. i did not jailbreak but my ipod still crashed. my home button is broken so i am not able to do all these home remedies i find on the internet. can apple help me or should i just give up on my ipod?
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and then restore via iTunes:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
RecBoot tip
RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:
Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
Installs blootware on PC too
- 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 another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem -
i plugged up my phone and it said i needed to restore it to factory settings so i did and now its stuck on a screen that shows i need to plug my phone up to itunes and restore it but my phone is already connected to itunes. ive tried resetting my phone and it just goes back to that screen and i have also tried to unplug and plug my phone back but it still keeps getting stuck at the 'preparing iphone for restore' bar thing at the top. how long is this process supposed to take? i was only trying to put one song on my phone and i had done it yesturday with no problem and the day before that. please help
I had this issue also. My last restore took 2 hours, despite restores under 1.x taking something like 20 minutes.
I don't think it's the videos/podcasts, as those don't show up until synchronizing after the restore anyway.
I asked this same question a while ago, but no one responded. I'm not sure if its normal. -
when i try to reset my ipod it stops at 10minutes and the ipod turns itself on and acts like ive done nothing to it, it has been stuck on the "connect to itunes screen" and it wont reset. why?
After you place the iPod in recovery mode using
iOS: Unable to update or restore
You have to then connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. Are you doing that? -
My iphone4 has been stuck on the connect to itunes logo for a few hours. I connected it to itunes and it says that the iphone is on recovery mode and that I need to restore it to use it with itunes. I'm afraid that if I restore it I will loose everything help please!!
AT this point whatever data you have on yoru phone is already gone since it is in recovery mode.
However you can restore from your backup, when your phone reboots from recovery.
YOu do have a backup right? -

On the new laptop, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

My 27inch iMac has been stuck on the Apple logo screen.
My 27inch iMac has been stuck on the Apple logo screen which the spinning wheel stuck for a few days now and I've tried everything. I've tried com s fsck repair, option boot from a dvd and still nothing please help.
Please be specific, saying "I've tried everything" doesn't tell us a thing. I'd recommend starting by using what Apple says in Gray screen appears during startup.

My iPhone was downloading iOS8 and it has been frozen on the loading screen for 5 hours
My iPhone was downloading iOS8 and it has been frozen on the loading screen for 5 hours, I have plugged it into my iMac but the iMac can't cancel the download without me typing in my password on my phone, which conveniently isn't working
It won't power off or on or anything, it is just stuck on the white background with black apple sign!!Hi esmelicious,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know it can be frustrating when you run into issues updating to the new iOS. In your specific situation, I would recommend placing your iPhone in what is called recovery rode and restore it from there. Please use the steps and information located in the attached link to restore using recovery mode.

So on my MacBook Pro, a friend tried signing into the guest account. It's been stuck on the loading screen for 3 days and hasn't let me cancel the request and login to the original account. What can I do?
Hold the power button down for 10 seconds. It will power down your Mac. You can then start it up again and see if you can log in normally.

My Apple TV 2 has been stuck at the update screen for 18 hours, what can I do?
I read about the 4.4.4 update yesterday. I always actively install new updates as soon as they're issued. This time my Apple TV has been stuck on step 1 of the update. The progress bar has been at about 90% since yesterday. Right below it says not to unplug the device while updating. No other controls respond. What do I do? I'm afriad to brick if I unplug it. Anyone has any tips for me?
PS. I do not have any jailbreaks on it. It's stock.I have the same problem updated my Apple TV 2 yesterday and it got stuck on the Apple and the apple tv is blinking at a steady. Restored in iTunes hooked it back up to my tv, input all my settings, wifi, apple id, and netflix. and did not do anything else, came back in and the light was blinking steady on the apple tv again and stuck on the Apple logo. Restored in itunes again and hooked back up, just hooked up my wifi settings and manually rebooted. Same thing got stuck on the apple logo. What to do?

My iPhone has been "frozen" for two hours now on the Apple logo, after me seeing a notification pop up and tell me I have to restore my device. And my device has been stuck since I started and does not seem to be making any progress besides vibratingf every three or so minutes. Why is this?
I'm having this EXACT same problem with my iPhone 4, and I have the same computer stats (I have a Samsung Series 7)
