Updated iPhone 4s to ios8 but screen is stuck on white screen with apple logo and progress bar

I updated my phone last night and my iPhone screen is white and has a gray apple logo and a progress bar which has been the same for 12 hours. The bar looks almost completel but it hasn't moved at all. my phone was also unplugged accidentally during the night while it was on this screen. would that have any effect?

Turn it off, go into recovery mode (command R at boot), wipe everything, go back and install Yosemite. Its suggested that you are using ethernet as it goes a lot faster that Wifi and more reliable. If you do not have a ethernet cable, you can still use Wifi. Hope this fixes your problem.

    My iPhone 5 wouldn't start after I turned it off a few minutes after writing this. It went into recovery mode and I had no choice but to connect to iTunes on PC and restore.
    I restored to factory setting first, just to validate my phone was okay. For a second consecutive iOS update, the  iPhone 5 did not update smoothly while connected to PC and iTunes - I had to retry two times before the progress bar for the update showed. (The exact same problem with the restart occured when I updated to 7.0.4.)
    The good news is that I was ultimately able to restore the iPhone 5 to factory settings while running iOS 7.0.6. I did have a backup from about a month ago lying around and was able to successfully restore with that as well, so the damage done is almost negligible since I had my contacts, notes, mail, etc. backed up to iCloud.
    Once I completed both restores, the sync with iTunes worked fine.

    The error that you are seeing has to do with your Internet connection. Try disabling your anti-virus software and connect the iPhone again and try to restore. See this support document for help. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Apple iPhone 5 Flashing with apple logo and load bar and apps working

    flickering, with apple logo and load bar and apps in that background that all work while screen flickering, had to restore my phone to get to stop flashing and eliminate the load bar.

    Hello missyfromsouthport,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning restoration issues:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    You might need to use recovery mode if:
    You can't update or restore because iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's "in recovery mode".
    The Apple logo remains onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
    The Connect to iTunes screen appears.
    See what to do if the progress bar remains onscreen for several minutes
    Use recovery mode
    Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
    Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
    Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
    Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
    When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
    iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
    Use iTunes to restore your device.
    If you don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
    Additional Information
    If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    BobbyD

  • Help needed please, with Iphone stuck with apple picture and progress bar after software update attempted

    Help needed please, everytime I try to update the software version on my iphone it comes up with a message saying it could not be completed and is now frozen with the apple picture and progress bar on it. Do I unplug it and hope the macbook pro sees it again, I also stupidly did not back up before starting the download which I realise I will have to go back to the previous back up. This keeps happening, everytime I do this type of update, I'm starting to think I should just give up on updating my software on the Iphone. I thought it was happening because I was using a window based computer to do the updates, this time I used my Macbook Pro. Please somebody help

  • Getting Grey Screen with Apple..and progress bar..  This is what I get

    Greetings all,
    I desperately need help..My macbook pro was running slow, and so looking online I found something about resetting smc and pram. Well I did both and the computer booted up fine. Then on my next reboot the machine wouldn't start. I'm getting the grey screen with the apple. A progress bar shows for a second but then goes away. I'm not able to get into safemode. But I was able to run the disk utility program from the snow leopard cd. Basically tellls me that the keys are out of order and then says "Error: Disk Utility can`t repair this disk...disk, and restore your backed-up files." This has to be bad.. I don't have a backup.. but luckily most of my stuff was on my macmini (I just had a baby so I had alot of pictures)
    Is my only option to erase? Right now the hard drive won't mount (atleast through the disk utility, since it can't repair it)
    Please tell me I have other choices.

    So you also have a Mac Mini? Then you might be able to retrieve files from the bad hard drive using FireWire Target Disk Mode:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    FWTDM will allow you to mount your Mac's hard drive on the Mini's desktop and it will be just like any external hard drive. You will be able to copy files from it.
    Another option would be to remove the drive from your Mac and place it in an external enclosure, which would essentially turn it into an external drive. You would then install a brand new drive into your MBP.
    It is possible that you could repair the drive with a stronger utility such as Disk Warrior. However, DW only repairs the complex software on your drive--it cannot repair a drive which is beginning to fail, which could well be the case with yours. You don't say exactly which MBP you have, but the average useful life of a laptop hard drive is 3-5 years, and many fail within the first year. Often the kind of problems you are seeing are due to a drive beginning to fail, so your first priority will be to get your data off of the drive.
    Since you were also seeing slowness, I suspect that your hard drive is headed south. If so, there wouldn't be much point in reformatting. It would just destroy your data, and your drive may still not ever work properly again. You can get a new drive for less than the price of Disk Warrior, although it's possible that DW can fix the corruption on your drive, at least for a while.
    Also, how full is your drive? If too full, that could be a contributing factor.
    If you do decide to try Disk Warrior and succeed in getting up and running, you should run SMART Utility:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/smartutility.html
    You can download the demo and run it several times for free. It will give you a comprehensive view of the physical health of your hard drive.
    What I would recommend is that you try FWTDM first and try to get everything off of the drive that you care about. If the drive is failing, it could fail completely at some point, so getting your stuff off of it is your most important priority.
    If FWTDM doesn't work, then the next thing to do is to remove the drive and put it in an enclosure and see if it will mount that way.
    The newer unibody Macs are designed so that you can replace the hard drive yourself. If you have an original MBP, you may want to get an AASP to install a new drive and give you the old one back in an enclosure. If you are under warranty, this won't void your warranty. If you are under warranty, Apple will replace a failed hard drive, but you won't get to keep the old one.
    If you are out of warranty, you could consider replacing the drive yourself using the directions at ifixit.
    Once you have gotten out of this fix, it's time to set up a backup strategy.
    Good luck! Post back if you have further questions.

  • White Screen with apple logo and a lock

    Ok I shouldn't have messed around cause now I've lost everything
    I normally sync on a PC-no problems...I decided to sync on my mac book, knowing I'd lose some stuff...I backed up too.
    I was logged into itunes on laptop and logged out. I decided to just restore back to the version I happened to back up yesterday (cause now everything is lost). So when I did I restored it...then my iphone asked me if I wanted it to be a new phone or from an old version (I picked old) and when I connected to sync. the screen looked like all white except an apple logo and a small black lock on top right. This is what I saw on the screen when device syncs. It found device but seems like it isn't letting me in to do anything!!
    This is on PC or laptop now.
    Help

    Well I'm going to bed..gotta be up at 5 am..hopefully they fix it by then and crossing my fingers that I can get stuff back in morning!
    Thanks phil

  • I updated to ios 5.1, after updating, now my screen is stuck with the apple logo and status bar and isn't doing anything....HELP

    I updated to ios 5.1, after updating, now my screen is stuck with the apple logo and status bar and isn't doing anything....HELP

    The typical fix if the progress bar totally freezes - meaning no movement at all for more than 20 minutes - and iTunes will no recognize the device - is to try to put the iPad into recovery mode. That is explained here.
    iPad: Unable to update or restore
    However, don't jump the gun. Keep an eye on the progress bar and if it is moving at all - even very slowly - let it go for a while. I'm updating my iPod touch first and the progress bar is moving but very slowly.

  • Hi, I downloaded Yosemite this evening. I downloaded o.k., it installed o.k. and then it restarted the Macbook and now it seems frozen. There is nothing but a grey screen, the apple logo and a bar that is half black

    Hi, I downloaded Yosemite this evening. It downloaded fine, it installed fine and then it restarted the Macbook. Now it seems to be frozen. I have nothing but a grey screen with the apple logo and a bar that is half black and half grey. It's been like this for over an hour. Should I worry or is it still working at something? How do I fix this if it's not still working at installing something. Thank goodness for this poor old pc as backup.

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
    b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
    c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
    Step 3
    Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 4
    If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
    Step 5
    If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
    Step 6
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    Step 7
    If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
    If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 8
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
    Step 9
    If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.  
    Step 10
    Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 11
    Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 12
    This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
    Step 13
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

    Same issues here.
    iPhone 5 was fine until I restarted the device... now the screen flickers on and off (with the white Apple logo
    and frozen progress bar overlayed on the screen).
    When I try to restore, I get a "-1" error.
    Well I just looked over at the screen, and everything is now fine. No flickering, no logo... the screen looks normal.
    Hmmm...
