My phone is frozen on status screen after iOS7 update

I let it update overnight and 10 hours later it is still on the screen.  I tried doing a restore (holding home and sleep buttons), but nothing happens.  When I try  connecting to iTunes it won't let me do anything because it says I need to enter the passcode on my phone, but I can't because the screen is stuck.  Are there any suggestions other than a total restore?

Hi!
A similar thing happened to me and at the end, I had to restore it completely. But then I made a backup some time ago and so I restored all my data back.
Try it!

  • Phone won't go to sleep after ios7 update

    My phone won't go to sleep after the ios 7 update unless it is on auto lock which I do not want it on.  Can anyone help me with this problem?

    could you fix the problem? I have set mine to all the different time restrictions for it to sleep, and it isnt happening. Consequently, my iphone has been overheating at night when I dont manually put it to sleep. By now Im thinking the battery life has been diminished since it is not lasting as long as when it was brand new (iphones 5s)

  • IPad mini stuck on "plug in itunes" screen after ios7 update

    I planned on updating to ios7 through wifi, but now it's asking me to plug into itunes (black screen with itunes icon and plug pointing towards it).
    I can't plug into itunes because I'm on an laptop with 10.5.8 on it (so itunes hasn't been updated in a while). 
    So...what can I do here to get past this screen?  I didn't think I would have to plug it in to itunes if downloading through wifi.
    My iphone 4s updated without any issues through wifi.  Any help here (besided telling me to upgrade my laptop/itunes for the moment) would be
    very much appreciated.
    Thanks

    The iPad has gone into recovery mode, so you will need to connect it to a computer's iTunes (iTunes 11.1), and on a Mac you will need OS X 10.6.8+ - there isn't another way.

  • IPhone stuck at updating (loading) screen after ios7 update

    I updated my iphone 4s to ios7 and itunes said it was succesfully updated and it would reboot but it's been on the updating/loading screen (apple logo with loading bar) for the past 20 minutes not moving at all...is it safe to unplug and try to reboot or should i just let it sit there for a while longer?

    You should post questions about iOS7 beta to developer forums at http://developer.apple.com

  • My ipod touch is frozen on the connect to itune screen after an update

    My ipod touch is frozen on the connect to itune screen after an update.  What do I do to solve the problem.  The power on-off button does not permit me to reboot the system.

    The BOLD may be necessary
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Why did I lose my end call button at bottom of screen after last update ? I have to end  a call by pushin button at top of phone

    Hi dave2370,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone.  The red End Call button should still be working.
    For initial troubleshooting, I would suggest restarting and resetting your iPhone, and also updating it to the latest version of the iOS software, which is iOS 6.1.4.
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • NY Times update is "frozen" after ios7 update

    after ios7 update,when in "Account Settings", the screen shows " Download Now- NY Times will now begin to download". When I tap "OK" the screen remains frozen.  After the ios7 update, the NY Times app had an update which I think it is trying to download now.
    I believe the "Account Settings" screen is for my iTunes account.

    Fortunately, I discovered that just by shutting down the iPhone(holding down the Top button);
    then restarting the iPhone; the freeze up was corrected.  Ahhh
