My phone has been frozen for an hour. How do I get it unfrozen?

My phone has been frozen for over an hour. How do I get it unfrozen?

For "iPhone frozen",  you can try these ways to unfrozen it:
Force quitting app: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then press and hold the Home button until the app quits.
Reboot iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Reset iPhone settings: Go ahead to select Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Reset iPhone to factory default: As the method of last resort, you can restore the iPad to its original factory settings. However, it will erase all your iPhone data. Therefore, you must backup your iPhone first. Then, go to Settings > General >Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Hope it can help you.

  • I tried to download IOS 7.1.2 but my phone has been frozen on a screen with an apple and a bar that hasn't progressed for 11 hours

    I tried to download IOS 7.1.2 but my phone has been frozen on a screen with an apple and a bar that hasn't progressed for 11 hours I have an Iphone 5S

    Hold down the home button and the power button for about 25 seconds or until you see the apple logo. Thats a hard reset and it should restart the phone and bring it back to the slide to unlock.

  • My iPhone 4 has been dead for 24 hours and it has been charging for 12 hours. I have tried holding the home and lock button down but it still has the black screen, what is wrong with it? It just randomly died on means won't turn back on

    My iPhone 4 has been dead for 24 hours and I've been charging it for 12 hours and it still won't turn on. I have tried holding the lock button and home button down, even connected it to computer but nothing's happening, it randomly died on me.

    Hi Lauren,
    When troubleshooting power issues, we want to make sure we have followed all steps outlined in the following article:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    - Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    - Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    - Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    - After at least 15 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    - If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    - Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
    restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    - If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • My 3G has been discharging for an hour.

    While I was on my way home my battery died and the discharging screen (the black screen with the spinning white bars) has been showing for an hour and when I connect the phone to my computer to charge it I'm getting error 0xE8000065. I have no clue what to do, no clue what to search for. Anyone have this problem before or know how to fix it?

    Welcome to the discussions,
    can you charge your phone using the adapter? If so, make sure to charge it for at least 10 min. before you connect again to your computer, if needed in recovery mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • My iPad has been syncing for 18   hours since I am trying to do the iCloud thing.  What happens if I stop the back up process? Getting tired of waiting for it to get done.  Could this be caused by the fact that I have 5gb of photos on the iPad ?

    My  iPad has been syncing for 18 hours / back up process since I tried to work with the iCloud.  Some items ie., contacts are synced to my new iPhone 4si and also books from the app store and also kindle stuff is okay.  No photos yet.  iPad has 5 gb of photos on it.  What happens if I stop the back up/sync process before it completes? Does it mess up my iPad??? Thanks

    Read this: iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
    ... oh I think it is a 3gs or a 3
    This makes a difference. What does it say in Settings > General > About?

  • The iOS 8.0.2 has been downloading for an hour on my iPad, is that normal?

    The iOS 8.0.2 has been downloading for an hour on my iPad, is that normal?

    Yes. Your product list shows that you're currently running iOS 7.1.2, and whenever you make a major update, i.e. iOS 7 to 8, it's a large file which can take a while to download.

  • The latest update has been running for 16 hours. Is that normal.

    The small window has been showing for 16 hours. It says downloading the update, and connecting to the server and it has the bar running across. How don I know when it is complete.

    Not normal. You probably got a bad connection, but the update is not what you want. You are so far behind at Firefox 3.6.10 that even if the update worked you would still probably have to do more updates. With Mac OS X 10.4 you cannot go to Firefox 4.0, but you will want to go to the latest 3.6 version which is 3.6.17
    Start at http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older.html ''(those with current systems can upgrade to 4.0.1 at http://www.mozilla.com for 4.0.1)''. At the completion of the download don't let the setup start Firefox for you, when the setup ends, start Firefox in your normal manner this way you will be less likely to create a new profile.
    The extra startup pages are temporary -- read them. The next time Firefox comes up you should be back to starting with your normal home page.
    Note: Firefox must be down once the install starts.
    Close Firefox with File>Exit. Then make sure Firefox is not running --
    On Windows: check the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.
    On Mac: Firefox > Quit then Command+option+Esc, if Firefox running use Force quit
    Permission errors on Mac:
    If you were getting permission errors on a Mac, download the latest
    Firefox version (for your system), then uninstall and reinstall Firefox. Do not remove your profile directories and files as they contain your settings,
    bookmarks, history, extensions, passwords, and cookies.

  • Ipod Touch has been frozen for  a week and a half now and i been turning it off by the sleep and top button.. how do you fix it?

    My Ipod Touch has been frozen for almost two weeks now. I have truning it off by useing the sleep and top button and it is still not working. I have been pluging it in my laptop and it is sycning but still did noting. What should I do?

    It seems as your iOS Software Is most likely corrupt. Try doing a software restore in iTunes by clicking in your iPod and clicking the Restore button. This will restore your iPod to factory settings. So back up your Music, Videos, and purchases before restoring.
