My iPhone 4 is stuck on the progress bar/connect to iTunes, been trying to restore it for about 3 hours, tried everything and nothing is working?
I've updated iTunes, checked all the network etc connections through iTunes and they are all fine. I've restarted my laptop twice, I'm an administrator on it, I've done the msconfig thing. It wasn't jailbroken or anything like that. It's been stuck at the same point on a progress bar for ages - before that, the progress bar completed fully twice, and still came up with the 'connect to iTunes' logo afterwards. I am at the end of my tether, and I need to fix this as soon as I can. Please, is there anything else I can try?
You voided your warranty when you jailbroke.
You surrendered help from Apple or this forum. This forum is barred from discussing jailbreak by the TermsOfUse.

Now it's stuck with the progress bar less than a quarter full. I have also tried resetting through itunes which works right up to the point where itunes states that it needs the passcode to be inputted into the ipad to connect to it. At which point it then sticks at the same progress bar point. HELP!! please, this ipad is really important to my work.
Well the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
Good Luck -
I have just switched on my new 5s and gone through the intro sections. After entering my apple id, I selected the icloud update I wanted it to use (from my 4s). It is now stuck on the progress bar screen and has been for hours. Can I get it back to the original settings? I want to set it up as a new phone, until I can get on to a better wi-fi signal. Any help would be great.
Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,

My iPhone 4s is dark, this is the second time. The first time I was able to get it back up and running by plugging it into my PC. However this time it has been plugged in for an hour or more and nothing. There was still at least 70% charge left on it when it went dead. I have pressed the sleep and start button separately and together. It said that I did not have much space left this morning so I deleted Apps and photos but there was still space. Just two days ago it was losing power even though it still 55% charge left so I plugged it in and it seemed to gain power. Any suggestions on the problem?
Sounds like faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take to Apple for quick (minutes) free battery diagnostic testing. If you have Warranty or AppleCare the problem will be covered.

hi! i went to go slide the thing to unlock my iphone 4 and it wouldnt slide, it froze up and everything is not working. i tried plugging it in but it is still frozen and nothing will work. how do i fix this?
My recommendation is to restart the iPhone. All you do is hold down the top button and hold down the home button for 5 seconds untill it automatically shuts down. Then click the top button untill you see a grey apple on your screen.

My iPod Touch 4G just shut off one day while i was using tap to post. tried everything and nothing is working not even iTunes! Is there any hope for me? my iPod is my LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh by the way none of this happened until i updated to iOS 6.
I have not had any experience in getting any devices repaired so I'm not sure which store to resort to. An official Apple store should more than likely get you what you need, but I'm guessing it's probably more expensive. (if any cost for your situation)
I hope you get your problem resolved.

Hi,
I have the exact same problem as you with my daughters iPad 2. Have you found a solution?
My daughters iPad 2 has been upgraded to IOS 7 for a while, and she complained about it sometimes turning off, restarting. Yesterday it could not be turned on at all. It was fully charged. She has been looking after it - no physical damage. Before upgrading to IOS 7 there were never any problems.
Holding the home and sleep button for 10 or 15 seconds did nothing - black screen.
Although she complained, we decided to wipe the whole thing, and start on a fresh. Could not enter recovery mode (pressing home, while attaching USB). Pressing home and sleep button for 10 seconds while connected to iTunes, causes iTunes to state that there is an iPad connected that needs to be restored.
iTunes retrieves the the 7.0.4 package and starts the update. However when the Apple logo and progress bar appears nothing happens. iTunes just states "waiting for iPad". I have left it for periods of 1 hour, 2 hours or even 6 hours without any movement what so ever on the progress bar. Have tried with three different PC's - all with same result.
If I keep the home and sleep button pressed for 10 seconds during the "stuck" update, the process starts over again - unpacking the 7.0.4 package, starting the upgrade and then nothing! Apple logo and progress bar not moving.
Just checked my warranty - and it was bought in September 2011, so that is no solution. We are using PC's with Windows 7 64-bit with Windows update turned on and no other problems.
Hope somebody can help :-)

IPhone 4 Stuck in New Phone Setup (Connect to iTunes), iTunes Freezes on Connect
Alright, so here is a quick rundown:
I had intended to sell this iPhone 4, as I purchased an iPhone 4S. Given this circumstance, I went through the general settings to reset all settings and data. Everything was going smoothly, as always; however, when arriving at the "Connect to iTunes" prompt, I can get no further. Every time I then connect my iPhone 4 to the USB cable, iTunes freezes (the phone does show up under devices). Once I disconnect the phone, iTunes resumes to normal. I've pursued the following remedies:
1. Uninstall and reinstall iTunes.
2. Enter recovery mode and restore (results in error 28).
3. DFU, then connect iPhone (results in SIM card not found).
4. DFU whill iPhone is connected (results in phone is not authorized).
What is going on here folks? I've done this many times before without issue, and never had a problem with this phone in the past.iOS 5.0.1 I believe? It is the latest update. Also, has never been jailbroken.

my phone was disabled after several passcode atempt by my son,it says connect to itunes,itunes says phone is locked with passcode.I remember my passcode.I dont want to loose my contacts,what hould i do.
If your phone is now disabled, you've already lost all of the data on the phone. That's the whole point of the passcode. Your only choice now is to force the phone into recovery mode and restore it, as described here:

AS soon as I log in I get this screen "Setting Up Your Mac..."
It has been on the computer for quite a while and I can not get back to my desktop.
Please help. thanks!Here was the answer I found that worked:
Command-Shift-Option-Esc (hold for three seconds) for Force Quit the front-most application (Mac OS X v10.5 or later)
That got to me a new page where I had to enter my security key chain ID, but then wouldn't go any further. So i have rebooted - and lo and behold it opened up OK. It has asked me for a security question, but it now seems to be working OK!! Thanks - hope you get your problem sorted also. I should have copied the name and did not...sorrry. -
