Unique iOS8 update issue?

So I downloaded the update from iTunes to avoid the sluggish download times, or so I thought. It downloaded in about 10 minutes and then I started to install it. At first it was the traditional black screen with the white logo and progress bar. When it got a little less than halfway it just stopped. I left it for over an hour and nothing. Finally I got frustrated and did a restart. When it fired back up, I got a screen that said, "slide to update". I did and this time it was a white background with a black logo and bar, but the result was the same. It gets about halfway and then nothing. It has been like this since about 2:00 PM ET. Please help!

I believe that your only option is to put your iPhone in DFU. This will completely erase your iPhone but do note that it requires a computer with iTunes on it. Here are the steps:
Before you start you should call Apple at 1800myapple
Plug your iPhone into your computer
Hold the power and home buttons for EXACTLY 10 SECONDS if it shows you the apple logo you failed
After the 10 seconds release the power button and continue holding the home button until your iPhone shows an iTunes logo and a cord and says to plug into iTunes
If you get an apple logo you failed and you need to start over

IPad mini now terrible to use, apple support no help because warranty is up. All cause by new ios8 update, wifi issues, many apps no longer work, apps that do work now crash regularly and sometimes take several instances and reboots to even open.

Photo orientation upside down since ios8 update

This is odd... since the ios8 update, my 5s has started taking photos upside down. They appear correct in the 'viewfinder', but in my 'recently added' they are inverted. While taking the photo, the top bar (which contains the flash settings, HDR, timer and front/back camera switcher) is also upside down. Is this a known issue since the update? Here's a photo of what I mean - and although it looks like the photo in the thumbnail is right-side up, when it is opened, the photo is upside-down.

Same here with iPhone 6
I've noticed that the first picture I take is OK...it's all the subsequent pics that are upside down. If I leave the camera app then come back to it...same thing....first pic is OK and all the rest are upside down. You can tell before you even take the pic...the flash text (on/off/auto) on the top of the screen will be upside down

ICal crashing after iOS8 update

IiCal won't load, just keeps crashing since iOS8 update. Has anyone else had any similar problems

Hello there, Debbie479.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great steps that help when an application(s) isn't functioning as expected or quits unexpectedly.
With the "Restart" step, make sure you go through and close all applications that are running. If after performing the "Restart" step, you find the issue persists, try the reset portion of the instructions:
iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
If the issue continues unresolved, you may want to follow these instructions:
Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Hi Hellside,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue with the camera on your iPad. The article linked below has a lot of great troubleshooting suggestions for a similar issue on an iPhone but the suggestions should resolve the issue with your iPad too.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
I hope this helps.

Had to restore iPad2 from itunes after IOS8 update with no option to restore from icloud backup.

since i lost everything on my ipad due to the IOS8 update, i thought i'd try to do a manual restore from my icloud backup, but the only backup listed is one from the day i did the update/restore. i'm pretty sure it's not going to help me recover everything that i lost since it's only 1.8gb. i know my ipad backed up to the cloud every couple of weeks when i charged it, so shouldn't there be other backup dates available? also, when i go to settings>icloud>manage storage>ipad, the backup options list every app i had on my ipad before the update/restore, but those apps are no longer on my ipad, so i'm not sure why they're listed in the backup options. apparently i can't even contact apple to help with this issue without paying $20, and i live 2 hours away from the closest apple store. any thoughts?

My philosophy is if you lost everything already anyway, you have nothing to lose by restoring the iCloud backup at this point. Besides, your apps will download from iCloud, if you were truly backing up with iCloud and not using iTunes. Apps are not part of the backup, app data is.
I would give it a try. If it doesn't work out, you are no worse off than you are now. But - your apps should still all download from the cloud even if the data is gone.

Since IOS8 update my iPad loses cellular service every time it exits sleep mode. Hard Reset has not helped.

Each time I wake iPad from Sleep mode since IOS8 update I have no cellular service. I have tried a Hard Reset as suggested by others, but the problem persists.

Screen unresponsive following IOS8 update

not so much a question as a statement but Apple need to sort out unresponsive screens following ios8 update. I have an iPad Air and a mini ipad and both iPads are suffering. I have tried switching off, hard resets and nothing works. Apple must realise there is a problem so I hope they find a solution soon. Searching on Google for example results on a blank page when the search results should be displayed....only after touch the screen again do the results ac

Hi, I think we should focus on the apple bugs and not try to insult each other...... No software is without its bugs...
I have IOS 8.0.2 on my iphone 5 and ipad 3 and managed to get around the syncing issues..... so it appears that this bug may be hard to replicate, and likely to be dependent on on a number of variable factors.....
JennBaggs, have you tried the following
turn off iCloud Calendar Sync
turn off Outlook Calendar sync
Close all Apps
Power Off iPAD (holding the power down button)
Power on ipad
Perform system reset (Hold down home key and power button until the screen blacks out and displays the apple logo.
Turn on only outlook calendar sync
go to your calendar app and ensure your outlook calendar is selected for view (you can check this by selecting the plus button at the bottom center of the calendar app.
I'm hoping this sequence of steps remedies your problem....

Ios8 Updates no sound now!

After ios8 update none of the sounds on my 5s work, calls come in no vibration now ring, same for text messages and all other notifications. Please advise?

Howdy Karyn,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I can imagine that would be frustrating, to upgrade your iPhone 5s to iOS 8 and then your device has a no sound issue. The article linked below has a list of resolutions for issues like the one that you’ve described.
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
I hope this helps,

5s phone says IOS8 "Update completed", but when I continue through options it loops back again???

5s phone says IOS8 "Update completed", but when I continue through options it loops back again. How do I get past the loop and make the phone work?

Hi saz3011,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand it can be frustrating and concerning when your iPhone will not startup as you would expect. I know that you have tried restarting the iPhone as well and the issue continues. There are a few more troubleshooting steps that I would recommend in this situation. Please use the attached article as a resource for troubleshooting.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Have a great day,
Joe

Ios8 Update in my Iphone 4S is very slow. This is really made me think to go for another phone except IOS.

Ios8 Update in my Iphone 4S is very slow.
I have updated IOS8 in my Iphone 4S. from the time i have updated it, it is very slow.
Please have the slow issues fixed and relaese a update.
I strongly recommend not to go for IOS8.

iOS 6 works just fine on my 4S and everyone else's that I know.
What have you done to troubleshoot your issue?
Have you taken the basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the iPhone User guide?

Why can't we get a straight answer from Apple about updater issues?

Why are there thousands and thousands of posts from people all having the same issue? We try to update IPod software using latest updater, and it causes IPod to no longer be recognized. All we want is someone from Apple to FIX THE PROBLEM! Yet all we get are refferals to complicated articles that never seem to work for at least half the people. Clearly it is a problem with these updaters. WHY IS APPLE NOT FIXING THIS ISSUE? Can anyone give me a straight answer!?

Hi Wolf,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
"thousands and thousands of posts"
There are roughly 10,300 thread with 50,000 posts in the iPod Nano forum, and there are probably another 500,000 who don't even know it exists. I don't there there has been a thousand posts on the updater issue. It may seem like thousands upon thousands, but don't forget; you're at an Apple Support Forum.
"All we want is someone from Apple to FIX THE PROBLEM!thousands and thousands of posts"
There's no need to "shout". I don't think Apple is going to hear you from shouting in a user to user forum. Nor will you probably get a answer (here) from Apple for the same reason. I have a -------- (straight) answer for you. I don't know what's going on specifically (no one really knows in this forum because they are all users. Anyone who would know won't say), but I can assure you that Apple isn't ignoring the issue. They are the quickest to respond to any problem that comes their way. If you would like to get Apple's attention, I don't suggest ranting and raving in the iPod user to user forum. I suggest submitting polite feedback to Apple here.

Is there a consensus on how to solve security update issues?

hi,
i'm writing to you from a PPC G4 (AGP graphics) that will self-destruct by the time i switch off and (attempt) to re-start tomorrow. i will then need to do a re-install, just to see if i have gotten any replies (grinds teeth to the root). it will probably be my 8 th re-install in the past month. i just can'st takes no mores, Cap'n
<exasperation>deep breath... each time i have done a clean install, zero-ed all data when erasing (7 times over, on this occasion), repaired permissions before and after each software update, and followed every advice i could find via google to pre-empt another "Error: underlying task reported failure on exit" and the inevitable hanging grey screen; i have earned nothing but another Disk Utility report of the same problem. my HD seems to be OK - Disk Utility and Disk Warrior both say it's "verified" by SMART (although i've read this could be no assurance...). it's 40 GB, nothing else installed but NetBarrier; nothing saved on it (just 3GB of OS).
i've searched this forum over the last weekend and come across a diverse range of methods in resolving software update issues. i have tried downloading the security update and safari 3.2 directly from the site and bypassing Software Update- to no avail (but noticed that they are quite larger in MB than via Software Update??).
the one suggestion the intrigued me was installing the update via Terminal. why would this be any different? the worst thing about this is that there is no universal way that'll work for all, just individual solutions for different macs??? could my problem be exacerbated by using the double layer (double the permissions to fix?) of a Panther OS with Tiger Upgrade disk?
when i last tried to resolve the "error" with safe mode, fsck and DU Repair Disk/Permissions, which initially failed, i resorted to Disk Warrior, which re-built the directory, and "fixed" the HD. when i re-tried fsck it said the HD was "ok", but i still had the "error: underlying task..." on DU?
is there an issue with the Security Update oo8 because it's PRIMARILY for 10.5 and not Tiger? why have some encountered this problem and others escaped any seeming conflicts ? is this problem also caused by JAVA updates (there are, after all, 4 updates!)
more importantly, WHAT CAN I DOOOOOOOO?
thank you

looking at your suggestion to check /Library/Startup items in the concurrent thread ("Help needed after installing Security Update 2008-008"), i recalled that the only thing i have in this file system is 3 folders concerning Intego, NetBarrier and Virus Barrier. one of these contains the NetBarrier x4 daemon which has no image, just the apple "pencil, ruler, pen on paper" "A" image. i don't think it correctly downloaded, but this the case in every instance.
i'm running netbarrier x4 10.4.5 updated and downloaded on installation. intego Support says that there should be nothing in my "Startup/Login items". i thought they meant Login items (users>login items) because when i take the folders out of my "/Library/Startup items", NetBarrier fails to "initialize".
intego is now on newtbarrier x5, but they say x4 is fully compatible with Tiger???
my baby maybe getting on, but it's strong enough, i just need to know what's bugging it!

10.9.2 Update Issue (VPN) - Eclipse Perl debugger issues while connected to VPN

This post was initially added to this discussion: 10.9.2 Mavericks update issues
I have yet another issue related to 10.9.2 update - Eclipse Perl debugger issues while connected to VPN...
One of the big changes introduced by 10.9.2 update - are VPN changes (security fixes). Unfortunately, whatever these changes are - they "broke" Eclipse (OpenSource IDE) debugger. I am not sure if *all* programming languages (Eclipse plugins) are affected by this, but I know for sure that 'Epic' (Perl plugin) debugger *stopped working* while system is connected through VPN.
Here is the error that gets “popped-up” in the Eclipse:
Timed out while waiting for Perl debugger connection
… and here is exact exception stack that gets printed:
Unable to connect to remote host: 130.10.210.74:5000
Compilation failed in require.
at /Users/valeriy/workspace/ROBO-PROD-RA-685/src/lib/test/Val_test.pm line 0.
main::BEGIN() called at /Users/valeriy/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.epic.debug/perl5db.pl line 0
eval {...} called at /Users/valeriy/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.epic.debug/perl5db.pl line 0
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
at /Users/valeriy/workspace/ROBO-PROD-RA-685/src/lib/test/Val_test.pm line 0.
Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at /Users/valeriy/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.epic.debug/perl5db.pl line 7596.
END failed--call queue aborted.
at /Users/valeriy/workspace/ROBO-PROD-RA-685/src/lib/test/Val_test.pm line 0.
(of course IP address changes dynamically for each VPN connection session)…
I was able to prove that this issue is related to 10.9.2 update:
Issue *does not* exist under 10.9.1 (I had to revert back to 10.9.1 to get it working again)
No updates were performed around the same time 10.9.2 update occurred (I verified that using Software Update log)
No configuration changes were introduced around the same time
Reverting back to 10.9.1 using Time Machine (thanks god I had backup !!!) fixed the issue
Steps to reproduce this issue:
In Eclipse, try to use 'Epic' (Perl plugin) to debug any perl script while *not* connected through VPNEpic debugger works
Connect to VPN
Start Epic debugger to debug same script
Debugger *does not* start, and "Timed out while waiting for Perl debugger connection" error pop-up comes up after some time. At the same time, exception stack (listed above) is printed in Eclipse's console
I am programmer/software developer, I work remotely (telecommute) and thus have to rely on use of VPN to connect to company's intranet. Perl - is primary language used by my team, and we use Eclipse IDE with Epic plugin - heavily. Use of Epic's debugger - is a *very large* aspect of my work, I cannot work without it. So in essense, 10.9.2 has *entirely* disrupted my ability to work! It took me almost a week to get back to normal work environment, and I cannot afford to let it happen again... I need Apple's development team resolve this VPN related issue, as soon as possible! Because of this issue, I am *stuck* with 10.9.1 and can not upgrade my laptop to any other versions. In fact, I had to disable system updates - just so I do not run into this issue again... I contacted Apple's Tech Support on 02/28 with this issue (Ref: 582428110), asking to raise trouble ticket. Since then, I tried to follow-up on that issue, but do not get any information. Please advise on the status:
is there a trouble ticket to track this issue?
is there any progress?
what's the ETA for an update that fixes this problem?
- Val
