- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPad froze during latest update.

I Have an iPad 3, 128 gb, less than 6 months old. I was installing the latest update and it froze with the white Apple logo on the black screen and the download
bar 1/4 of the way finished. I have no response from the power button or the reset button. Any suggestions?

You've tried a soft-reset, pressing and holding both the home and sleep buttons for 10 to 15 seconds ?
If that doesn't work then try recovery mode and then restore to your backup : If you can't update or restore your iOS device

If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

Iphone froze during iOS update

My iPhone 4s froze up the other day. I was installing the newest iOS update. It starts with the apple logo and then a progress bar starts to build underneath it not long after that starts it switches to a loading wheel that freezes up until it starts the process all over again. I tried both holding the power button and the soft reset which both just start this same process over again. I tried connecting to my MacBook but it says I need to verify on the phone that I want to connect to iTunes, which I can't do because I get nothing on the screen besides what I already described. Any suggestions? Thank You.

Hey jonesjm25,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like something may have been interrupted during the update process. To resolve your issue, let’s try restoring your iPhone in recovery mode:

Froze during BIOS Update

Lenovo 3000 n200 0769 BRG
As per the title my laptop froze during a bios update, I now have a €300 paper weight.
When turning on the fan spins, the cd tray works, but the screen stays blank and only a single power light stays on. I tried starting the machine with no RAM inserted to see if the bios would beep. It didnt.
I think i need to reset the CMOS and in another thread there were instructions as follows " two exposed metal traces labelled CLRP1. You need to short those traces together for a few seconds."
I can get to the traces CLRP1, but it doesnt work.
Could someone please verify how to short those? What do you actually do?
I lightly pushed a flat head Metal screwdriver on the traces, also tried a paperclip,other screwdrives, and basically everything metal.
Could someone clarify what needs to be done? Thanks so much

If the bios is corrupted, yes, it may be bricked.
Search the web and these forums for "phoenix bios recovery"
there may be some hope. I have never tried any of the solutions
I have found about a Bios recovery disk.
The solution for a bios "hard reset" on my N100 was to dis-assemble
it to the point where I could short the leads of the bios backup battery
for about 5 seconds. The bios on mine was not corrupted, though.
Find the Hardware Maintenance Manual for your laptop model HERE
and look for how to remove the top cover. The battery is probably
on the bottom of the motherboard. A bit tedious and complicated
if you are doing something like this for the first time.

My iPad froze during upgrade

My iPad froze while upgrading to iOS8. It's two years old, but still qualified for the upgrade. The entire upgrade happened. The iPad then shut down and restarted. The black apple on the white screen came up along with a progress bar. The bar kept loading until to it was over 95% done. It stopped and has been that way for almost an hour. What can I do? Should I just turn it off and start it again?
Thanks!
Pat

I would wait onager to see if the upadate completes. if it remains stuck try a reset of the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the buttons and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

MacBook Pro froze during software update, now it's stuck at gray screen

My MacBook Pro was running a little slow today so I did a Disk Utility repair and that went fine then I did a software update (OS X, Java and remote desktop) but it froze during the last ten percent of the update install and now when I boot up it won't get past the gray apple screen. I tried to restore Lion but since I bought this used my Apple ID wasn't used to purchase Lion so I can't do a restore.
I've tried to safe boot and boot from a CD but no go.
I also tried the short and long Apple hardware tests and those found no problems

In case anyone else needs an answer to this, I called in to Apple. Tech support said to power it off and let it reboot itself. I had to go back into updates and tell it to finish the install (restart computer, was the only step remaining) and it worked fine. It took longer because it had gotten hung up during the previous restart. ( Just to clarify, I was stuck on the grey screen after the restart step of the install.)

IPhone 5 froze during iOS update

My iphone froze during the iOS 7.1.2 halfway through. I've tried to do the hard reboot many times but my lock button is not working. Is there any other way of fixing it? Please help

No, since your sleep button is broken.
