New iPhone 5s has frozen on Apple screen during initial setup-up?

During the very first setup process and after selecting the option to restore iCloud backup my phone has frozen on the apple screen with the progress bar stopped about  one tenth of the way across. Can't turn off or do anything to change the screen. Any tips?

OK- update:
1.  Hold down the power and "home" buttons simultaneously until you see the screen go black and release.
2.  Watch the Apple reappear and, with it, the progress bar.  If it doesn't fairly quickly creep beyond that one tenth point and appear to be doing something-
3.  -repeat the two button restart as often as necessary.
(I had to do this about ten times and the last three times I noted the time between the screen going off and the apple logo reappearing got longer.  Finally the progress bar reappeared and seemed to stall and then it disappeared and the Apple logo dimmed.  And VOILA- it worked!!  )

  • I have downloaded ios8 and my phone has frozen on Apple screen. The MAC no longer recognises this device. Please help!

    I have downloaded iOS8 onto my iPhone 4S - the phone has frozen on the Apple screen (and it keeps going black). It is also no longer recognised as a device on my MAC...please help

    Make sure airplane mode is off and wifi is on. If no go try restoring in itunes and if that fails you will most likely need to call apple or go to an apple store to get a repair

  • New MacBook Pro, unable to get past the select your country screen during initial setup.

    I purchased a new MacBook Pro last night and am unable to get past the initial setup screen where you select your country.  The mouse will move around, but won't actually allow me to click on 'continue'.  I've also tried the keyboard commands to move to the next screen.  Nothing...

    I just experienced this, and I am recording the solution here for posterity. I got through the setup using the keyboard (tab to move between controls and space to select), thinking that the mouse click would work when I got through it. But I was dismayed to find that it did not ...
    ... at least so I thought! But actually, you have to push down the mouse pad, NOT just tap it. You can turn on tap-to-click later, but at the start you must push it until it audibly clicks. It is not obvious if you are used to Windows laptop mouse pads like me, where tap-to-click is the ubiquitous norm.

  • My iphone 4 has frozen

    my iphone 4 has frozen to the screen with the apple logo and progress bar below it just after the ios 7 update, please help

    Thaw it out. 
    Just kidding.  Hold the home button and the on/off switch simultaneously, past the prompt to turn off and let go only when you see the Apple logo.  This can take ~20 seconds.

  • My iphone 4 has frozen. I can not slide to unlock nor shut the phone down. It flashes the apple logo from time to time but will not respond to the touch screen.

    My iphone 4 has frozen while I held the button down to try and access voice command. Now it will not allow me to slide and unlock. Won't respond to the shut down button on top nor any touch screen commands. The apple logo appears from time to time but mostly it shows my wallpaper and the time. Can you help me out ?

    Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

    Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes.

    If your computer doesn't see the phone when you plug it in, you may have to take it to an Apple Store.

  • My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help.

    My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help. I can't find my answer on the Internet.

    By far the most common problem hardware-wise seems to be scuffs on the aluminium. Yours is the first report of a faulty screen I've seen.
    If you use the same Apple ID on both devices it'll sync whatever you want it to - music/apps/photos/messages/etc.
    I've just switched from a Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5 (having already owned an iPad for a while) so I'm in a similar position!

  • My iPhone 3Gs has frozen and I can't do anything except turn it off by hard boot. When I plug it in, I have the apple icon and that is all. It was at 43 percent battery life when it happened and my Twitter app was giving me problems. Thoughts?

    Put it in recovery mode and restore it as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

  • After updating to iOS 5.0.1 my iphone 4 is frozen on the screen with the apple logo and a progress bar under it. What should i do?

    After updating to iOS 5.0.1 my iphone 4 is frozen on the screen with the apple logo and the progress bar under it. Held the power and home button, the phone shut off, and restarted the progress. If i try to turn the phone on, it keeps telling me to connect to iTunes. Once I do, it asks me to restore, i click restore, but it keeps on freezing at the screen. What is the problem? Error 1603 comes up. Followed the link to apple's page but nothing that was said there worked.

  • IPhone frozen on apple screen THEN won't appear in iTunes

    It had happened a couple of times in the last few days, that my iphone 3gs would not start and would freeze on the apple screen. The other times, it eventually worked. Tonight, it hasn't gotten past that apple screen for hours.
    I read a few threads here and there and decided to try a restore, as I'd just synced it earlier today. I had to download the newest version of itunes, and once I did that, I got the phone into recovery mode. It needed to download another software update for the iphone (i will admit to not having downloaded the 4.0 update after hearing people complaining how long it took-- silly as that may be). I watched its progress; it was coming along fine, and then when I came back to itunes to check... nothing. There was no message about the software, and the iphone was still not recognized in itunes. I waited awhile, and my iphone was still on the apple screen, no longer showing the recovery screen, and since itunes was not registering anything, I just unplugged it from the computer.
    At this point, upon disconnecting and then reconnecting the iphone to the usb cord, I get a screen with a "charge" sign on it-- empty battery with a little lightning bolt beneath it. I leave it plugged in a little longer, and it goes away, to be replaced by the apple (typing right now, the apple suddenly went away to be replaced once more by the empty battery) It never appears in itunes. I live 3.5 hours away from a Genius Bar; what can I do short of driving in?

    "If something is not working right, restarting or resetting iPhone will likely solve the
    problem.
    Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and
    hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset 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.

    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
