Trying to update to iOS 7.2... NEED HELP

ive been trying to update my iphone 4s 16gb to the new ios 7.2
ive passed through the first load screen but the phone has now frozen/locked halfway through the second load screen
(theres just an apple logo and a half loaded bar) i havent been able to use my phon for over 12 hours now.
some friends have suggested i try restoring a back up from icloud and from my computer and if worse comes to worst restoring to factory setting
but itunes wont allow me to do either as it says the phone is locked with a passcode (have tried all 3)
my lock button on the top right hand corner is also not working so i cannot even hold doen the home button and lock screen to reset/turn off
can anyone help???

PC no longer recognises my iPhone after trying to update to iOS 5...Help!?!?

When returning from popping out of the house, as the Back UP and Update was taking forever, I came home to find that my iPhone has updated to iOS 5 but failed to Restore itself. On top of this my PC no longer recognises my iPhone and issues a message 'USB Device Not Recognized'. Now I have tried several attempts at fixing this, reinstalling iTunes, disabling and re-enabling USB Drives but nothing seems to work. So I am now left with an empty phone, no contacts nothing, which can't even connect to my PC.
Any Ideas???????????????????

I had the same problem, I shut down the computer, disconnected it, etc... nothing helped. I went to the Apple store and they fixed it by restoring my phone to factory defaults and then updating. When I got home I connected to Itunes and it synched all my information back to the phone. If you have synched your information to Icloud you have to do it there!

Trying to update an old 2002 iMac - need help!

I'm trying to update my ancient iMac to a newer operating system. I was hoping I could simply download my purchased copy of Mountain Lion onto this machine, but to my knowledge I cannot access the Mac App Store on this machine. Can someone give me a nudge in the right direction of how I should go about this? Thanks!

I'm sorry, but your Mac is way too old to update to Mountain Lion. Look here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444
Mavericks was released yesterday and Mountain Lion is no longer available in the MAS. You need to be running OSX 10.6.8 in order to have the MAS on your Mac in the first place.
Maybe you should think about investing in a new Mac - or maybe a refurb, if you can't afford a new one, or settle for the OS that you are running now. As far as I know, you cannot buy Tiger which might be the next step up for your machine.

There are times 5s lagging very bad after I update the IOS 7.03, need help

Before I update to my IOS 7.03, I don't have this problem before. But now, once in a while my phone is lagging very bad, not sure of why. But it will goes away after a while. Anybody else having the same problem?
It happens most of time during log in. It's impossible to use the finger print log in when lagging; and when type in passcode, letter sometime take 1 second to respond on screen.

Basics from the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Try each step in order until your problem is solved.

Today I tried to update to IOS 8 on my ipad 4. I thought I was doing everything right. I did it through itunes. I backed up before starting. It now is frozen. itunes says it's in recovery mode.get error 3014. HELP!

Today I tried to update to IOS 8 on my ipad 4. I thought I was doing everything right. I did it through itunes. I updated iTunes to 11.4. I backed up before starting. It now is frozen. itunes says it's in recovery mode. The only options it gives me is to Restore so I say ok... after a few seconds I get get error 3014. It says this ipad can not be restored. It has a button to click for more info which leads me to this page: Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
Please help, I have a back up I just can't get to it. Why did this happen!!!
HELP!

I have since tried a few more things... suggestions found online...
I tried using another computer, same house same internet link though... it downloaded the update again, took about an hour & a half but as soon as it finished it said it could not restore because "device could not be found". I unplugged my ipad then plugged it back in so it would "see" it but it just went right back to the "ipad in recovery mode needs to be restored"... then the same error 3014.
I don't know if the computer can sense the ipad or what's going on. On the screen when it wants to do the restore it has an icon of an ipad & it says "Serial Number: n/a
The next thing I tried... was right clicking iTunes & choosing "Run as Administrator". It started another hour & a half download of the update... but then when it was done it went right back to the error 3014.
Is there nothing that can help?!?

HT1222 I was trying to update my iOS to 7.1 but I can't, I have internet connection but if requires WiFi? before I can update my OS just using my phone internet but now I can't. Does OS 7.1 really require WiFi? Thanks!

The iPhone requires wi-fi to update if you try to update over the air, since the phone needs to reboot, thus disconnecting itself. You can update via iTunes and the computer, but you would not be able to tether to the phone for the internet connection, since the phone would disconnect. So, you can either update via wi-fi and the phone, or you can update with a computer that has an internet connection other than the phone.

I have an Ipad 2 Model MC775LL, IOS 6.0.1 (10A523) and I am trying to update to IOS 6.1, but the download is taking too many hours. Is it normal?

You have to connect the iPad to your computer to update.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

Iphone went off after trying to update to iOS 8.1.3

My iphone went off while trying to update to iOS 8.1.3

Hey cliffordmien,
That is not good so lets see if we can get it back up for you. Try restarting your iPhone and try the update again. If you still have issues then you may need to update your iPhone through iTunes. If you restart your iPhone and it is booting up to the plug in to iTunes graphic you will need to restore it with iTunes.

I tried to update the iOS and never finished the installation

A day ago i tried to update the iOS of my iPad 2.
Everthing looked good but it never started again.
It's stuck in the tiny apply screen with the status bar under it.
Have any suggestion of what to do?
thank you in advance!!!

Try this and see if it will restart the update. If it doe not work, you will need to restore your iPad using Recovery Mode.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
This explains how to restore with recovery mode.
