Not sure if you had any luck with this 'princessksee' but I had literally the very same issue, very frustrating to say the least.
Sometimes it is the simple fix that works and in this case, ChrisJ4203 provided the right handshake required to get me back up and running by doing the reset as he describes above.
The key is ensuring that you hold down the sleep/wake and home buttons at the same time and wait much longer than you think you need to.
Hope you had similiar success and assume that there will be others who will access this resource for this very same problem.
Wanted to see that you had been sorted and also to let others know that this is a good place to start.
Overall very happy with the new features included in this update despite this small issue.

  • IPhone 5 died after installing iOS 8. Is Apple store responsible?

    We installed iOS 8.0 on iPhone 5, 16 gig. The second time we tried to charge it, the phone started flashing between the low battery screen and the Apple screen. Never got it going, tried the reset and all.
    Brought it to the Apple store and they told us the hardware was done. The phone died. Of course, 1 year and 3 months after buying so not on warranty.
    The technician said that I was missing the 2 screws at the bottom and that inside a screw was loose. I was not even aware. I told them I had the screen replaced by them the previous year which they saw in my file. They started questioning me about bringing the phone elsewhere which I didn't. They then told me, that they were sorry that couldn't do nothing for me, except selling me a new phone. Wow!!!!! So I am now paying a phone through my cell services that is not working!
    My question to people out there, is it possible that the loose screw inside the phone caused damages to the hardware? Apple is not responding to me!
    Thank you

    Could be.  But if Apple has stated that unauthorized maintenance has been done to the device, then that's the final answer.  Unless that store manager overturns that decision, you'll need to purchase another device.

  • HT204406 iTunes Match is not working on my iPhone 4S after installing iOS 6.  I finally see a list of artists, but the songs are all empty and will not play, and no play lists are present.

    iTunes Match is not working after the iOS 6 install.  All music that was previously downloaded is gone.  When the "Music App" is opened, I see a picture of a cloud, and a progress bar that goes nowhere.  Then it goes away.  No playlists are present.  It shows artists, and albums, but all songs are empty. Nothing plays.
    Is there a fix for this, or are the Apple Servers simply totally overwhelmed, and this is a matter of being annoyed and patient until it finally connects.
    Thanks!

    Same issue for me.
    Some further peculiar things I noticed:
    Directly after updating to iOS 6 I had to switch on iTunes Match again (iPhone settings). Then I realized that my music was gone (as described above).
    Under settings -> usage one could see that the memory space was still occupied by the huge music library (i.e. there where only 9 of 64 GB free). This changed after several hours. Now there are only 9 GB used, the rest is free. So the library is really gone.
    Since then my iPhone continuously downloads some unknown data from the internet (even if all apps are closed and I deselect the use of mobile networks at the several menus in the settings). All apps are closed. The iPhone gets hot and downloads something. It downloaded nearly 400 MB in the last 48 hours via mobile networks. (I got a flatrate, so I don't really care about the data.)
    Does anyone know what this means? Thanks for any help!

  • Battery drain on my iPhone 5 after installing iOS 7.

    Ok first off I would like to point out I was getting 5-6 hours of usage on LTE with iOS 6 and 8-9 hours of usage on wifi. With that being said, I updated to the new iOS 7 and ever since I've noticed a significant drop in usage on LTE and wifi with iOS 7. Now I'm getting 3-4 hours usage on LTE and 5-6 hours on wifi. I've turned off the refresh background apps switch and I turned all but one app off pertaining to location services. So, I have run out of options to improve battery life. Is there a bug in iOS 7? Please help

    Updated to iOS7 and have been watching my battery usage. For instance yesterday I noticed, after unplugging my phone from overnight charge, that after 14+ hrs of normal use I still had 55% of my battery left. I couldn't be happier. I've never had any phone last that long before. I also did the same as you, turned off as much "battery draining" apps as possible. Maybe a "hard" reset might help. Good Luck

  • HT201210 after install ios 6.1.3 imessage cant use

    my iphone 4 after install ios 6.1.3 imessage,facetime and icloud cant use

    "We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Could Not Be Completed?"
    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

  • HT201210 After installing ios 6, my ipod died. please help.

    After installing ios 6, my ipod died. now I get this msg when trying to restore on itunes. ....please help!!
    "the ipod could not be restored. this device isn't eligable for the requested rebuild" it is an ipod touch 4th gen previosly working on ios5.1

    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

  • After installing iOS 8 update on Iphone 5C, I can't open any files in my emails. Why?

    After installing iOS 8 update on Iphone 5C, I can't open any files in my emails. Why?

    Hello Rach Ryan
    First I would try closing the app from multitasking and then launching it again. To do that, double tap the Home button and then swipe up on the app to close it completely. If that does not work, then I would restart your iPhone.

    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • After installing IOS 6 on my iphone 4, why is my camera taking purple pictures?

    Immediately after installing IOS 6 on my iphone 4 on 9/22/12, when I attempt to use any of my phone apps, everything is colored in purple tint (see attached image). This includes taking video as well. If I flip the camera to the self facing camera, the purple goes away. This only happens on the front facing camera. I've tried googling this issue and cannot find anyone else complaining about this. Any ideas???

    So, now I'm starting to feel like I'm the one and only lucky SOB to have this purple issue. For anyone who reads this, some more detail. Since posting this thread, I did a full reset from my iphone and that did not resolve the issue. Then, last night I did a full system restore from itunes which took about 4 hours and that didn't solve it either.
    After all this, I started thinking that perhaps there's something wrong with the lens hardware but yesterday for approx 3 full seconds, the camera was normal then there was a stutter and it went purple again. Sounds like a software issue, so I'm really baffled why a system restore wouldn't cure this. Ugh!

  • HT4623 I can't activate Location Services after installing ios& on Iphone 5.... any ideas?

    I can't activate Location Services after installing ios& on Iphone 5.... any ideas?

    I had the same issue with one of the three iPhones I updated on Wednesday.  There are many processes that are working for people including:
    - Resetting the device several times
    - Toggling the "Dont' Allow Changes" setting under "Restrictions --> Location Services"
    - Disabling Restrictions altogether.
    - Restoring from backup
    I was able to restore location services by selecting "Reset" and choosing "Erase All Content and Settings" to set the phone up as new.  When the phone resets and goes through the setup process, I was given the option to turn on location services.  I then restored from backup and was good to go.
    Some people have been able to resolve the issue by resetting but only using "Reset All Settings" without having to erase all content, but that did not work for me.  It took a while to get everything back to normal, but it is good to know that there was a somewhat simple solution.

  • Usually i back my IPhone with ICloud, after installing IOS 5 it asked me to restore from I Tunes what i have to do?

    usually i back my IPhone with ICloud, after installing IOS 5 it asked me to restore from ITunes what i have to do to restore all my contact, applications and others?

    If your iPhone does not search for a wi-fi connection before you are asked whether you want to set it up as new phone or restore a backup from iTunes, then I guess you have the same issue as highlighted in this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19638850?ac_cid=tw123456#19638850
    iCloud back ups can only be accessed via wi-fi that's why you are not granted this option, I have the exact same issue.

  • After installing ios 5.1 on my iphone 4s, some apps are being closed automatically after a few seconds. I've tried a restart and a total reset. nothing seems to work. Any solutions?

    After installing ios 5.1 on my iphone 4s, some apps are being closed automatically after a few seconds. I've tried a restart and a total reset. nothing seems to work. Any solutions?

    The problem Apps may need to be updated. Or maybe your iTunes account needs to just update itself on your iPhone. To do this, install a free App from the App Store on your iPhone. Tap App Store app on iPhone, select and install a free App. When that is done try the problem Apps to see if they work OK again.

  • Iphone 4 won't open after installing ios 7.1

    Please help. My iphone 4 won't open after installing ios 7.1.. I already connected it to my pc but still didn't open. I waited for a long time, press the on/off, home buttons but still didn't work. Thanks Jah bless all..

    Honsetly I do not know if they will charge you, however apple products usually have a one year warranty, such as your charging cable, might. But if you tried to use another charging cable then you will want to make an appointment with Apple. good luck
