My iPhone 5 has frozen during an update!
It is frozen on a white screen with a black apple logo and a loading bar. I left it to complete overnight but the bar has still not moved. I have tried turning it off but nothing works. I have also tried plugging it into my computer but the computer does not recognise anything.
I would recommend trying to restart the phone. this way:
Plug it in to the computer, and restart it (By pressing the home button, as well as the power button)
This may cancel the update process, and you can instal it a different way.
Hope this helps:) -
My iPhone 4s has the latest OS update and this morning for no reason all my contacts have disappeared. Is there a fix or reason for this?
After some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery. I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on.
Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.
She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old).
After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.
I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it-
Yeah, all Android user can think of is Jailbreaking, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743 -

trying to set up new macbook and has frozen during the process of using windows migration, now can,t get it to go
Try just holding down the power key to power off - you may have some files that migrated, maybe, maybe not.
You won't hurt anything - just have to try MA again if it doesn't work the first time.

My iPad Air stalled during an update and will not restart even after pressing the on/off button for 15 seconds. Any suggestions?
Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear and it should reboot.

My charged my phone last nigh and used it literally before I went to bed. I woke uo this morning and the phone was off and I cannot turn it back on.
It was warking perfectly fine last night.
I have watterproof case on it and always in my handbag, just in case you want to mention that it has to be watter. It is not!Remove the phone from its case and try this...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

My iPhone 4 has frozen during iOS 7 update! Someone help?
Please help me, I don't know where else to ask! Earlier, about two hours ago, I decided to finally download and install the iOS 7 update. My phone had previously been running 5.1, and when the update finished my phone restarted like normal. But then it started updating again and froze halfway through. And now its just been sitting there for the past 20 minutes, frozen halfway through the update. Funny thing is, my iTunes says my phone is running 7.0 now. What the **** is going on and how do I fix it??!
I had/still have the same problem Amari, and it was ever since I was (forced) to upgrade to iOS7. I didn't want to upgrade it (I avoided it for about 2 months) because I read that it said upgrade at your own risk.... which made me a little worried. So when I went to sync music on my iphone, it basically forced me into upgrading to iOS7 if I wanted new music on my phone. I didn't really realize anything was wrong until I got an alert on my phone saying that I was almost at my maximum for data and would have to pay money to use more data... which this has never happened to me in a year and a half with this phone/plan. So I realized that my wifi was not working anymore, so I cannot connect to wifi, and my battery is now really weak. Also, my phone freezes a lot and won't turn off using the top button... all since the forced upgrade....
I went into Apple yesterday and they basically said I need to buy a replacement phone or upgrade my phone. They said that my wifi chip is dead and my battery is really weak now. (None of this was the case before iOS7... which the sales reps don't really like to agree to, but it's true..) I'm pretty frustrated and disappointed in Apple for this. This is my first iPhone and I haven't even had it a year and a half. I take extremely good care of my phone and every other phone I've owned (Blackberrys, flip phones) have lasted 3 years+. I thought Apple technology was the best? I don't think that I should have to pay more money to replace my phone. I think that this is Apple's fault.
So my options are:
1) Pay $200 to buy a replacement phone (4s, which I currently own.... why do I want to buy a replacement on the same phone that didn't last over a year and a half?)
2) Pay and upgrade to an iPhone 5.... which who knows if I'll have the same problem or not.
3) Keep a phone with no wifi, and a weak battery.. which I'll probably have to pay more monthly for going over data....
4) .....? Get a Samsung?? haha

While performing a reboot the phone froze and will not start. The only thing on the screen is the Apple icon.
Did you already try the steps mentioned in this article?

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 iPhone 4 has frozen in my settings, while I was trying to update to the iOS 7. What should I do?
My iPhone 4 has frozen in my settings, while I was trying to update to the iOS 7. What should I do?
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears
The servers are overloaded. There are a hundred million people all trying to download iOS 7 at one time. I would give it some time and try again later
