Updating Iphone 4 to IOS5 and frozen...please help.

I have been updating my Iphone 4 to IOS 5 since about 5:00 (it is now 12 am). It downloaded, synced, and now I think its frozen on "Restoring Iphone Software". The bar has not moved in almost 3 hours. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?  Thanks.

Have you tried putting the phone into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 ?

  • Facebook not working anywhere on iPhone 4s ios5.1.1 please help

    Hi all Sorry to bother you but i have a real iPhone crisis here.
    I cant log onto facebook from my iphone 4s working on (ios 5.1.1) --- bot safari and facebook app are not letting me sign in, with any username or password ( i asked my friends to sign in even that did not work on my phone)
    I also tried to sign in using chrome on iphone, same broblem. what happens is that in the browsers, it does not redirect as it should after i click log in and insteat shows me a blank page with a long web adresss nd des nothing. al other websites like gmail etc are working fine
    in the facebook app , it gives me an error [   ERROR CODE 1: FBAPIERROR DOMAIN }
    I dont know what that means, i have even tried to delete cache and history from setting,
    there seems to be an incongruity between my phone and facebook domain or server, or something like that, coz rest of the (https) sites are working normally.
    even in other apps such as instagram, the facebook extension is not working.
    the problem is not speciifc to my fb account, i tried other accounts as well and i am able to access my facebook on my macbook pro.
    PLEASE HELP ME !!!
    PS I cant update right now , coz i have limited internet usage at high speed. i want to save bandwidth. so no ios 6 update suggestions please

    I got the problem sorted out.
    I was using a BB data plan from my previous device which worked fine up until the problem started. It appears that my carrier systems finally identified that my device was not a BB and therefore it was the data plan that caused the issue.
    Have resorted to a normal GPRS data plan and everything works flawless now.
    Maybe the info is useful to ouy all with the same issue.

  • 'Updating message list' from hotmail FROZEN - Please help!

    My mom just purchased a new mac - I've purchased Outlook for her so she can easily download her hotmail messages. I've been cruising along, downloading the 17,511 messages she has on the server (I know!!) and it stopped halfway through. In the bottom righthand
    corner of the Outlook mailbox it says' Updating message list' and then has a bar which usually is filling up as it pulls messages off the server - but now nothing is happening and it seems stuck on 0/7892 (that's the text on the right of the bar). Help! Why
    is it stuck? I've done the whole process twice and it seems to get stuck here. I even checked online to see if I could delete some troubled file, but can't seem to go back that far on the server (even though it lists all 17K messages (as a number next to the
    Inbox tab - showing it has record of them, but where are they??) Thank you so much for any help you can give me!!!

    Hi Michi,
    First, check your internet connection because the low server connectivity can make such a frozen disturbance in Outlook. Apart from it there can lots of reasons behind this disturbance:
    Antivirus Programs: In most of the cases, these antivirus scanning programs pretend emails as malwares and does not allow Outlook to receive it.
    Large Attachments: If someone sending large attachments as email then its also make Outlook froze up. So to overcome from this, stop downloading large emails.
    Corruption in Outlook Data File: Corrupt Outlook data file is one of popular reason behind the disturbance like this. Use scanpst.exe to fix the corruption issue of Outlook database and
    then again try to download emails. Hopefully it will work!!!
    Problems in Outlook are not just limited to the above given reasons, there is list of errors and causes in Outlook data file and their resolution.

    Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

  • My itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

    my itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

    i think i might have a solution... i have windows vista and after i installed to latest itunes update everytime i tried to open it it would freeze. I tried everything, including uninstalling itunes and all of its components and reinstalled it numerous times. So i went to the itunes folder in my folders, not on itunes, and i deleted my itunes library and playlists. After that it worked just fine, all of my music was deleted but luckily i had my files saved elsewhere.
    I hope this helped! I know its frustrating and APPLE/ITUNES NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!!

    cannot activate my viber after i update to 6.1.3 iphone 3gs..can u please help me...the the code is ok but if i activate...its being error.

    @theViberTeam .
    I'm having trouble with Viber.
    A few days ago, I accidentally uninstalled it on my IPhone 4, and reinstalled it later on..
    When I tried sending the activation code using the same cell phone number I had on Viber before It got uninstalled, I receive the code but when I try to put it in it keeps saying that I entered the wrong activation code, I click on the no code feature on the top right corner of Viber, it gives me a code, but when I put that code in it says the same thing ,that I have the wrong access code please try again, and so I researched on the internet and came up to this post, It said to uninstall viber and wait 24 hours to install it again, I waited 24hours and tried it again, but it STILL does the same thing. and... I even tried entering my other phone number, yet it does the same thing and shows me the same message that I entered the wrong access code....It is getting frustrating! May you please Help ME?! What can I do??

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. 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 to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

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

  • HT4623 I updated my iphone 4s iOS 6 however my app store is now in german.  I don't know how to get to back to english & now it won't update any of my purchases.  Please help

    I updated my iphone 4s iOS 6 however my app store is now in german.  I don't know how to get to back to english & now it won't update any of my purchases.  Please help

    I also had the same issue (I downloaded IOS6 on my Ipad in Germany, when I was travelling).  I could not get into the Settings/ITunes & App Store and log out of my account as the Apple ID was greyed out and nothing happened when I clicked on my user id.  I then had to go into iTunes and found that my user id at bottom of the screen in ITunes, click on my user id and assume that the german words meant to log out.  I then was able to log back in and English was restored in the iTunes and App store.

    Hey erinoneill24,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Sounds like you can't update your device. You don't mention an error that it gives you. Take a look at both of these articles to troubleshoot.
    iPod displays "Use iTunes to restore" message

    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

    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.
    Have a nice day,

    If there is a backup somewhere that had her data you can restore that backup.  Otherwise, all her data has been overwritten by yours.

    You need the Apple ID and password that was originally used to set up the device. Ask the seller to give it to you. If the seller is unable or unwilling to provide the information, the Phone is probably stolen. There is nothing you can do.
