  • Iphone 3G updates stuck on "verifying iPhone software"

    hello- i have talked to the iphone telephone support and have not gotten this solved. i was using an ATT aircard to connect to the internet to download the new 2.2 update. the update has been stuck on "verifying iPhone software" for over 6 hrs. the apple tech support said the aircard connection cannot be used and to go to a highspeed wireless site and try it. i have done that and it is still on that same "verifying iPhone software" step for an hr and a half. the tech support said it would take some time, but should it take this long?
    does anyone know if that is true that the ATT aircard cannot be used for updating?
    also, does anyone know how long it should take on the "verifying iPhone software" step?
    help me please.

    About 15 minutes, tops. If you are using an aircard choose to download the update separately, then install it after it is on your computer.

  • Stuck at "verifying iphone software" for hours

    i've searched for this problem before with no answers. updating to 3.0 was a mistake, it got stuck at verifying iphone software and nothing worked. reinstalled itunes and did everything. some old messages suggested i try to install itunes on another computer and try, and it worked. now i have a iphone with everything deleted off it. i used a public computer to do this.
    how do i begin using my iphone back on my laptop, sync it, etc? i know i have my old pictures, etc on my old computer, can i put it back? and what the heck kind of problem is this where apple doesn't have a solution for?

    Hi! This link has helped a lot of our customers:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
    If that doesn't fix it it is typically caused by 3G PC card software (Aircard, etc), Internet Service Provider communication software, or internet speed software that modify the default TCP/IP packet size. We would need to edit your registry to get this resolved. If this applies to you call us at 800-MY-IPHONE and one of us will be able to help!

  • Itunes and iphone stuck on "verifying iPhone software"

    I just attempted to update to 2.2.1 and everything was going well until it tried to verify the software. It sat there doing that for over an hour. I have deleted and reinstalled itunes and tried to restore the phone. It is still stock on trying to verify. HELP!!! What do I do now??

    Remember where you saved it. Do not open it.
    Hold the SHIFT key while clicking the "Update" or "Restore" button in the iPhone tab in iTunes
    On Mac:
    Hold the option key while clicking the "Update" or "Restore" button in the iPhone tab in iTunes
    Subsequently, a dialog box will come up which will allow you to select the firmware file to use for your update. At this point, simply browse to and select the firmware file that you downloaded.

  • Stuck on Verifying  iphone software

    How long should this take? It seems to have been about 30 minutes or more. Is this normal?

    Mine wouldnt verify either. Try following my first post today: See my post today 20/06/2009 21:27
    tonymercury1 re UPGRADE ERRORS UPDATING TO OS 3.0 about creating another user account and installing the new OS fresh from that account then restoring the apps etc from a previous backup in your usual main account. Hope it works for you..........Good Luck

  • Iphone locking up after software update. "verifying iphone software"

    This is the second time this problem has happened. I plugged a nearly fully charged iPhone into my computer. It asks if I want to download the newest software. I stupidly say yes, and it backs my iphone up, installs software but gets frozen on the screen that says "verifying iphone software" for hours (it's been 6 hours now and counting). Why does it do this every time? If I disconnect the iPhone, reboot and plug it back in, it tells me I must restore it to factory settings. Fine. Restore done, and again, stuck on "verifying iphone software". I cannot keep waiting for 3 days for an appointment at the Apple store everytime my iphone needs updating. Any suggestions for preventing this from happening again are welcome.

    My iphone won't charge all of sudden. All I did was the new update on the 3g phone. But it will charge using the standard cable it shipped with plus my OLD iphone plug in piece. It's just the little square plug in that isn't working. The phone is only three weeks old. I tried soft reset and that didn't work. Ideas?
    What about the NEW iphone Plug in piece, or the USB port of the computer?
    There have been a few other reports of failure to charge, and most have
    resolved themselves (mysteriously) after leaving it plugged in to computers
    for a really long time, or after a hard reset.
    I haven't seen any one post that a restore fixed this, so I wouldn't rush into that.

  • Verifying Iphone Software

    I tried to do the new update, my PC crashed. So I am now trying to do a restore from iTunes, and it has been stuck on "Verifying iPhone Software" for over an hour. I have an iPhone 3G 8GB about half full. Plenty of room on my hard drive.
    Anyone know how long this should take??
    Very frustrated, been without a phone for hours now...

    Solution:
    On a different computer device:
    1) Download and install ITunes
    2) Connect your iPhone
    3) Complete a Restore of the iPhone by selecting Restore on the iPhone menu
    4) Check the status of the iPhone - once the Restore is complete, the iPhone should be operational without your dat
    5) Disconnect the iPhone
    6) Go to the computer device where you originally had the issue
    7) Bring up iTunes
    8) Conduct a restore from Backup on the iPhone device menu (click on menu) - this will bring back your data
    Please note that you do not need to have your iPhone reset at the Apple Store if this works and that setting up a separate user id on the same computer does not work if the iTunes application is available for all users on the device.

    ipod touch stuck in recovery mode...try updating says server not available try again later

    Try:

    It could be that the servers are down/overloaded

  • My ipod was in recovery mode and fixed it. i can use it. but the problem is whenever am i connect it with itunes it says IPOD is in recovery mode even after recover is done. i cant sync ipod rite now. it showing same msg again. nyone knows wat to do plz??

    I did the restore and it cleared and reset the iPod but after it finished the same error came up. I tried this 3 times. Also it no longer shows up as a drine in My Computer.
    if it's relentlessly doing that to you, it's plausible that the message is being caused by a Windows drive letter confusion. (that's consistent with the disappearance for My Computer, too.)
    see the following article for troubleshooting information on that possibility:

  • HT201263 my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and my computer keeps saying that it is unable to successfully restore my iphone

    About two days ago my iphone had been charging all night, yet when i looked at it in the morning it said that it was only at 1% battery, so i restarted my iphone, after i turned it back on, the battery said 96% but after every 3-5 minutes it would shut down, then turn back on again, so i plugged it into my computer to sync and restore it, but it would not sync. I decided to restore it anyways, and it was put into recovery mode normally, but now it says that "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (29)." and it keeps on attempting to restore it but it is not working. ive left it plugged into my mac for about 12 hours now. I have no idea what to do.

  • After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server.

    After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server.  I have already tried the resetting with power swich and home button and plugging into computer but it says the "iPhone software update server cannot be contacted."  I am locked out of my phone.  Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue and get the phone working again.  I will add that I am now trying to restore it on a different computer with a lower version of itunes, but the computer that it initially happened on had the updated itunes and gave me the same result ... nothing.  Thanks for your help in advance.

    Try going to recovery mode as described here.  You may have to try this more than once to succeed.
    Use the original iTunes that the iPhone synced with.

    Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. If the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode, then Restore the Firmware. If not recognized, then hold both Home and Power Buttons until the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.

  • I am in process of restoring an iphone4 to its default settings after getting approval from my carrier to unlock it. Using itunes, it is saying "verifying iphone restore" and hasbeen stuck there for about 2 hours.

    I amtrying to restore an iphone4 to its original default settings after obtaining approval from my carrier.  I am using itunes and following instructions given.  It has been stuck on "verifying iphone restore for about 1 1/2 hours with no movement in the bar across the phone itself.  Task manager is showing very little activity.  I have internet connectivity.  Is this an issue here or with apple?  Thanks.

    Thanks.  Finally unhooked the phone and then tried again.  This time it went into recovery and reloaded all as it should have and gave me the "unlocked" message which was what i wanted to see!  thanks

  • My ipod touch wouldn't turn on because I dropped it, so I plugged it into the computer. It went into recovery mode and is now stuck on a waiting for ipod screen. The ipod shows the apple logo and an empty loading bar.

    My ipod touch wouln't turn on because I dropped it, so I plugged it into the computer. It went into recovery mode and is now stuck on a waiting for ipod screen. The ipod shows the apple logo and and an empty loading bar. Please help. Thank you.

    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.
    - Try on another computer                 
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I've downloaded the ios7 to my iphone but it didn't verify so I connected my iphone to itunes and updated it .. it's now stuck half way through saying 'updating iphone software' it's been like that for 40 mins .. should I be worried?

    I've downloaded the ios7 software to my iphone but it didn't let me install it over air so I connected my iphone to itunes and updated it .. it's now stuck half way through saying 'updating iphone software' it's been like that for 40 mins .. should I be worried?

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to activate after the update, and the server is getting overloaded. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.
