White bar across iPhone 4 locked out after iOS7 update...Help

I did the iOS7 udpate this morning and now I have a white bar across my iPhone 4 screen and locked out.   I am only able to answer incoming calls at this point.  I tried restoring from backup but it needs me to turn off the locate phone option from the phone - can't because I'm locked out by white bar. The off button on the top of the phone hasn't worked for nearly a year to try to reset it that way.  Any other ideas out there?

  • Iphone speaker problem after ios7 update

    After i updated to ios7 on my 4s the right speaker stopped working instantly. Anyone else have thuis problem? And how can it be fixed?

    Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
    Then test to see if it solved the problem.

  • IPad went into recovery mode by itself during/after ios7 update. help please.

    My ipad went into recovery mode during or after the ios7 update. i forgot to back up my files and now i need the notes from it. i am unsure if they are syncd to my gmail but i am not syncd to icloud. is there anyway to get my files back?
    i have tried using all sorts of programs like redsn0w and tinyumbrella to try and kick it out of recovery mode. But every time i try and get out it just loops back to the itunes and cable logo. is there anyway i can get out without restoring and or losing the files inside the ipad. or is there a way to access the files while in recovery mode. thanks in advance or the help.

    I have experienced a similar error with the iPhone 4S.  The new version of iTunes will not let me restore the phone, it must be updated and nothing appears to be happening.  Suffice it to say I am not amused.  Apple needs to work this out - I had trouble updating to 8.0.2 as well.

  • 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.

  • HT4623 Why wont my Iphone 5 activate after IOS7 update

    My phone won't activate, even though I updated through Itunes though and no its like something is wrong with my network?

    Just have to give it some time. The activation and verification servers are all slammed right now 'cause of all the people trying to update at the same time. Give it a couple hours (or overnight if you can wait) and it should sort itself out.

  • Why are there white bars across the top of my iPhone 5 screen?

    I have a brand new iphone 5 (not 5S) which has white bars across the top of the screen. The bars are quite faint at first, if the screen has been locked for a while but they get brighter while you use the phone. The bars overlap and obscure the time and battery symbols but you can still see through them with effort.  I have tried turning it off and on again but this has not helped. It may have happened after the phone was updated to the latest version (iOS 7.1.2).  this was required so I could transfer my old phone's information from a backup. Has anyone  experienced this issue or know the cause of it?

    Hi Ererer, I am sorry to hear that you are having that problem with characters showing up at the top of your screen. I had a similar problem so I understand how frustrating it can be. This problem has been linked to some antivirus software. Could you tell me what kind you use? I have also found an easy solution to this. When they appear simply drag the window from its maximized state down. It will no longer take up the full screen and the characters will be gone and everything will be back to normal. If you want it maximized again simply drag it back. I hope this helps.

  • White bar across video capture

    After extensive searching across this most amazing forum (I'm bookmarking this and I'll be back (with austrian accent)) I found something close to my problem.
    After updating my system with all the latest drivers I still have a problem with video capture from my camcorder. I can get the capture to work fine but it shows a horizontal white bar across the replay. I thought it might have been some kind of censor algorithm as it was of a naughty video of my wife and I but after tryin 8 different capture programs and installing and reinstalling trying other very tame family videos the white bar would appear and disappear randomly no matter what I captured.
    In a post from Ayrsayle at the end of which he said
     "One last hint: The 1.12 drivers and up have Macrovision built in so if you copy commercial tapes or DVDs you'll get a white bar across the image. It can be fixed this way:
    Get a copy of the 1.08 drivers (you can web search for them). Extract 1.08 drivers to a new folder, and replace Nvcap.sys and Nvcap.inf *only* in the Windows directories(do file find on C:/windows to locate them) with the 1.08 versions. Reboot. Problem solved. I just found this tonight.
    I hope some of this helps, I've had to tear my hair out as well over the past month upon getting this card! "
    Well my problem is it's not a commercial video I'm capturing (Well at least not yet!).
    My other problem is I'm having trouble locating the past drivers.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thanks
    James :(

     :O  X( I'm trying to capture my home videos off of my sharp hi8 video camera.
    I'd like to know how the F*&$%ers at Macrovision found a way to copyright my family reuion!
    If I ever meet one of them I'm going to tear him a new a**hole
    and the other thing is why do I have to spend over a week trying to find what the problem was and now spend more money (of course what the f*@% was I thinking) to fix something that shouldnt even be there.
    I'm going to leave a message with MSI and if I don't have an answer by tomorrow evening when I log on again, someone is going to get a video card inserted in a slot they never expected
    By the way. I did a search of this forum and other than going back to an old driver(which i spent the last 3 hours of my life that I'll never get back) which didn't work NO ONE HAS SATISFACTORILY ANSWERED THIS QUESTION!
    What happened to the other guys did they give up?

    Hello ahammel921,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Please reset your iPhone by holding the home and lock/unlock button at the same time, until the screen goes blank and the Apple logo reappears.
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • 4s won't reboot after ios7 update. I have restored 4 times. Every time it gets stuck on Apple icon with update bar at 10%

    4s won't reboot after ios7 update. I have restored 4 times. Every time it gets stuck on Apple icon with update bar at 10%
    HELP!

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

  • HT201263 After Ios7 update it asked me to restore iphone . But restore is not working

    After IOS7 update, Extract software did not recognize device properly . Now iTunes asked me to restore iphone . I tried restoring.
    Its giving me an error saying Phone not recognized [Error code : 2000] http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/updaterestore/?error=20000
    Kindly help pls ..

    Hey kartbeat2001,
    Thanks for the question. The following article provides relevant information in regards to Error 2000:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you're using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that doesn't resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    Hello there Tgurnell
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the ringer is not ringing after the update to iOS 7.  I found an article with some steps to take when you are experiencing issues like this:

  • After iOS7 update while playing game iphone 5 overheat in just 2-3 mins. How to fix this problem?

    After iOS7 update while playing game iphone 5 overheat in just 2-3 mins. How to fix this problem? Before upgrade to iOS7 I used to play game for hours and never faced this problem. This is specially when I play HayDay.
    Please advise.

    Buenas, otra vez. Terminé resolviendo mi problema instalando el AE CC. que no es lo que quería en principio pero al final lo que me importa es poder disfrutar del programa. el único problema es que gracias a la tarjeta gráfica que trae mi modelo de MacBook, no podré disfrutar de la opción de trabajar los gráficos en GPU sino únicamente en CPU. ya que para trabajar en GPU necesito el complemento CUDA que mi tarjeta no lo puede utilizar. igual seguiré buscando respuestas a mi caso por la web y otros foros.
    Hello again. I ended up installing AE CC to fix my problem. although that was not what I was looking for but at the end all that matter is to enjoy the software. The only unsolving issue is that I won't be able to enjoy the option of working graphics in GPU mode due to my graphic card. It needs CUDA and intel doesn't support it. I'll keep on looking for answers to my trouble with AE CS6 in the web.
