My iPhone 5 is stuck on "verifying update" lock screen

I was updating my iPhone to iOS 8.1.1, but it failed verification and now my phone is stuck on "verifying updates" on the lock screen. I can't even shut it off completely because it will not let me slide the power off button.
I even connected into my macbook air, but nothing happened.
Any help is appreciated to fix this issue.
Thank You!

Hello Bearcat_Pooja,
If the update process has not completed, it may help to put your iPhone into recovery mode in order to get it updated.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • IOS 5.1: Stuck at "Verifying Updated iPhone Software"

    Help would be greatly appreciated:
    I'm 'upgrading' to iOS 5.1, and the download seems to have gone fine. But iTunes has been stuck on "Verifying Updated iPhone Software" for about 4 hours. How do I fix this?
    iTunes 10.6.0.40
    iPhone 4
    Windows Vista (yeah, I know...)

    HEY APPLE
    A reply to this sure would be appreciated!
    I have the exact same issue on my iPhone 4S and I am now restoring, hopefully successfully and without losing everything.  I sure hope iCloud actually works for all of my apps!!!

    How many times did you try the reset? Sometimes, it can take more than one reset, especially with these kinds of issues. Try multiple times. Note that you need to hold both buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen. This can sometimes take 15-30 seconds.
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

    Hello troffs,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
    Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
    Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
    When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
    iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
    Use iTunes to restore your device.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

    No iPhone records voicemail messages.  Visual voicemail is simply an interface to the carriers voicemail servers.
    Contact the carrier to troubleshoot the issue with their voicemail.

  • Installing ipad IOS 8?? now stuck in "verifying update" and cant even shut down. Help?

    In trying to install IOS 8?? (current update)  on ipad and now stuck on "verifying update". Cannot even shut the thing down. Help??

    You need to use Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off your device
    2. Press the Home button and while holding it, connect your device to the computer
    3. Keep the Home button pressed until you see the "Connect to iTunes screen"
    4. Release the Home button and open iTunes on your computer
    5. You will see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode". Use iTunes to recover your device.
    You may need to repeat these steps several times.
    Hope this helps!

    Hello kennyred,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
    If you have chosen to encrypt your backup, it will contain the passcode. Disable backup encryption before restoring from backup. Learn more about iOS backups in iTunes.
    When the backup and sync is complete, select Restore from Backup and choose the most recent backup of your device.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

    Add me to the list of people furious with Apple about this problem...
    ...I have just got back from a 2 week holiday in Spain, and on day 3 of the holiday my iPhone rebooted itself and stuck at the Apple logo.
    What's more annoying, I'd purchased a data abroad plan from o2 for £50 and hardly used it because I couldn't use my iPhone because it was stuck on the **** Apple logo. o2 will not refund the plan I purchased because I had started to use it (about 2.3MB to be precise).
    Good job my girlfriend had her trusty Sony Ericsson phone because at least it WORKS as a phone, unlike this **** iPhone 3G which only has one use - as an expensive paperweight.
    Come on Apple, at least admit there is a problem and show your loyal customers that you are actually aware there is a serious problem that is causing your iPhones to become utterly useless.
    I'm seriously thinking of gettting rid of this iPhone and getting a cheap no frills phone - at least I can use it to make calls.

  • My iphone 5 getting hang in the lock screen.

    My iphone 5 getting hang in the lock screen.. needs to reboot hard, no use of 7.2 update patch, i have updated the same but still its getting hang in the lock screen ...please suggest what to do ?

    Hi Apple Engineers,
    Problem:
    I am facing this same freez problem on my Iphone 5 (with iOS 7.0.4) in India, Chennai.
    I am using Airtel provider.
    1. I can see the missed call list(s) on the first locked screen
    2. To unlock the screen i tried to Swap "slide to unlock" screen, But it hangs (freez). But swap Bottom to Top to see the short cut app modes (wifi, airoplane mode,bluetooth...etc) it is working fine.
    3. I cant get in to passcode input screen.
    Workaround for this issue: (for iphone users)
    1. "Reset iPhone" OR
    2. "Make a call from your firend mobile to your hanged Iphone and pick the call. Now you wouldn't see the hanging problem"
    Suggessions: (for iphone engineers)
    Might be problem in locking mechanishm in the IOS. Missed call would be not properly handled by the locking mechanisim, Since, while freez, next attend call will resolvd this issue. So locking mechanishm is the problem. Please concentrate these part and put your hard work on this. Don't give workaround to iphone users all the time. workaround is only temp until fix the bug. So work hard and give us the flawless upgrade.

  • I took pictures on my iphone when it was on the lock screen and now I can't view the pictures in all of my photos. How do I view them?

    I took pictures on my iphone when it was on the lock screen and now I can't view the pictures in all of my photos. How do I view them?

    If you go to the Photos app, is there content in the Photo Library? These would be pictures that are synced to the phone from the computer. Photos in the camera roll are those that you take with the phone, or save from email, MMS on the phone. What type of pictures are you trying to get rid of? If you are trying to get rid of the synced photos, you need to connect to iTunes, select the iPhone in the device pane, then go to the Photo tab in iTunes and remove the check mark by sync.
