My iphone  4S is not  completing IOS 7 update. Its been 4 hours.

What do I do if my iphone 4 S is still not completed the IOS 7 update after 4.5 hours?

Hi r. rick,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If your iPhone is not responding while running an update, I would suggest following the steps in the following article.

    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,
    M.

  • Iphone 4 will not acknowledge iOS 6 update

    Hello. I have a new iPad and it acknowledged the new iOS6 update as soon as it was avalible, and it downloaded quickly. However my iPhone 4 will not. When I go into Software Updates it searches and then reads "iOS 5.1.1 Your software is up to date". I've turned my phone on and off, did a hard reboot, and have had no luck getting iOS 6 to even come up as a downladable option. Please advise. Thank you!

    try updating it in itunes, you need to make a back up first and transfer purchases

  • My iphone 4 does not turn on anymore and its been plugged in for more than one hour

    My iphone 4 will not turn on anymroe and is left on the screen where its charging with thunder bolt lightening. I tried holding the power button and home button but still no luck. its been plugged in the charger for more than one hour already.

  • My iPhone 4 will not turn on and it's been 24 hours

    First try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

    Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer
    iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download

  • IPhone 4s will not complete the recent download of iOS.702

    My iPhone 4s will not complete the most recent download of the iOS 7 too. It accomplishes about 20% and freezes. I have tried resetting several times. Same result. The phone is for all intents and purposes locked up on the download screen. Has anyone else had this problem.? And how was it solved? An online search shows nothing regarding this problem.

    I've already tried unplugging the iPhone and restarting my computer - twice.

  • Iphone 4 will not complete sync, stuck on last step

    Updated iPhone to iOS 5.1 the other day, now iPhone 4 will not complete the sync cycle.   It gets stuck on step 7 of 7, waiting for artwork to sync.  I am running this on a Windows-based machine, and while I have synced daily in the past, I have NOT synced my contacts list and the like.  I do NOT want to Restore my phone at this point; I'd like to see if there's a fix out there for this problem first as I don't want to have to rekey in all my contacts.   Restore is last resort.  I have tried everything that has been suggested (that I can find), but I am not technologically inclined and many of the answers have to do with Mac rather than Windows. Can anyone out there help?

    My iPhone is recognized by iTunes.  The issue is that it will not complete its sync cycle.  I have tried searching for other resolutions, but I haven't found anything similar for a Windows system, only Mac.

  • HT1414 restoring my iphone 3gs is not completeing and the phone is not working

    restoring my iphone 3gs is not completing and my phone is not working i took it to my local phone shop they told me that the new itunes will not fit onto the iphone 3gs, how can i get my phone to work.

    If your restore is failing, there could be MANY issues...  You may need to restore the phone back to "new phone" during the restore... PAY ATTENTION HERE...  You will lose ALL contacts, photos, videos, voice memos, etc... But you will be able to re-add your apps< and music through itunes.  that is very last resort though.  if that doesnt work, I would look into updateing your phone.  Personally I wouldn't get the 5, just because I dont need the additonal size screen...  I have the 4S and LOVE it!!  but, do some research, and see what you can find on the matter.  But it sounds like your headed down hill fast with that phone... May be best just to upgrade and save yourself the frustration...

    If you have a Mac with OS X Lion or a PC with Outlook 2007 or 2010 synced with iCloud, you can. Connect your iPhone to the computer and sync it

  • My IPhone 5 installed the new IOS 7 update but it will not install.   Why?

    My IPhone 5 installed the new IOS 7 update but it will not install.   Why?

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to download, install, and reactive their devices it right now. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

    Take note that in the TOS that you agreed to when you joined the community that this is a user to user forum, and Apple does not participate. If you want Apple to take note of something, then you need to use the feedback page HERE, and click on the appropriate link.

  • For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps.  When i click update, it acts as if it is going to update but puts all apps in "waiting" status.  I've tried selecting each, as well as deleting and re-downloading but to no avail.

    For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps.  I've tried selecting each to click off wait, and have selected new updates indvidually instead of all together.  Also have shut the phone down and have even deleting the apps completely and re-downloaded but to no avail.  Each app continues to sit on my screen with the line below as if it is about to download but never does, and now any apps I've tried to updated will not let me use them.

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!
