Why did updating to iOS 8.3 crash my iPhone 5s?

After I downloaded the huge iOS 8.3 update, the last thing I expected was for my phone to stop working. The screen displayed an iTunes logo and the power cord, so I hooked it up to my computer to do a restore (just praying that maybe my hundreds of beloved pics and videos wouldn't be lost for no good reason). To my dismay, the phone refused to restore - after two lengthy "Extracting Software" delays - and what's more, I even re-downloaded iOS 8.3 on my computer (adding more time and frustration), but that did not help. Apple, you can do better than this! I hope I can find a way to restore my phone and also keep my data. Anyone else have this problem?

Blu Logic seems to keep a virtually invisible support presence on the internet.  I did return to the aftermarket installer of the unit.  He told me pretty much the same as you.  Apple expects the equip. manufacturers to keep up with iOS.  It's a bit of a Catch-22.  Perhaps iOS 9 will exterminate the bugs!!
In the meantime, the only thing I've really lost is hands-free dialing for bluetooth calls in my car.

  • Anyone know the reason why app store in iOS 6 is crashing all the time?

    Anyone know the reason why app store in iOS 6 is crashing all the time?
    Tried everything. Reset my iPod touch to fresh version of iOS 6 and still issues. I believe that there is a bug.
    APPLE: please FIX ALL THE BUGS IN IOS 6!!!!!! Please do it fast!!!

    I am having the same problem, but I think I might know what's causing it.  I just updated my girlfriend's iPhone 4S (same phone as mine) to iOS 6 and was surprised to find that her app store is working just fine.  When I opened hers, however, I did notice that the "Categories" and "Top 25" buttons are totally different; and those happen to be the two buttons that are not working for me.  Mine shows the same that yours does, while hers has the "Genius" and "Charts" buttons in the place of the two that are not functioning for me.  I believe these old buttons are no longer active and therefor are bombing out when attempting to access them.
    Now I said I think I may understand the problem, but unfortunately I have no idea what the solution may be.  Hopefully this tread doesn't fade away and our problem gets addressed.

  • Any ideas? In the history may iPad never crashed but after updating to iOS 5 it crashed every 30 minutes, and browsing is very slow

    Any ideas? In the history may iPad never crashed but after updating to iOS 5 it crashed every 30 minutes, and browsing is very slowAny ideas? In the history may iPad never crashed but after updating to iOS 5 it crashed every 30 minutes, and browsing is very slow

    I found the reason why our iPads are slow after iOS 5!!!!!!!
    What you need to do is this:
    1) launch settings, go to mail contacts and calendars, go to fetch new data, advanced, and set iCloud to fetch.
    2) go back and set an interval of when to fetch. Mine is set for thirty minutes. 
    3) make sure on top push is still on, that means that all your emails will still be pushed, but all the iCloud sync (contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks) will happen at the interval you choose.
    Restart the device. Your performance should be 10x faster! No more keyboard lag, nothing! Doing this puts less stress on the A4 chip, which we know we need every bit we can get with it now!!!
    Optional:
    1) in the settings, go to safari.
    2) clear all history and cookies/data
    3) enable private browsing. One of the biggest reasons why devices are slow is because it keeps all the history and cookies in the RAM. You need more RAM to make things faster. By turning on private browsing, it never records it!

  • I have an iphone 5 ana i buy it unlocked and when i update the ios to 7.1 the iphone is locked .why?

    i have an iphone 5 ana i buy it unlocked and when i update the ios to 7.1 the iphone is locked .why?

    Probably because the previous owner had the phone hacked to unlock it, and when you updated it locked back to the original carrier.
    Only the carrier that the phone is locked to is authorized to unlock it.
    If the previous owner had the carrier unlock it, you wouldn't have any issues.

    Hi, Abril_Perez17.
    This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default.  Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.  See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled.  This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

  • After Updating the iOS 7.04 on my iPhone 4s drain battery quickly on standby mode & also doesn't respond volume up button, why?

    After Updating the iOS 7.04 on my iPhone 4S drain battery quickly even on standby mode & also doesn't respond volume up button, why?

    My battery problem woes continues to persist.  Yesterday, I had about 85-90% battery life in the morning.  A couple hours later when I looked at the phone it was down to 65%.  At that point, I shut off wi-fi, bluetooth, and background app refresh.  I received one call shortly after that.  The call lasted about two minutes.  My battery was now down to 40%.  Another hour later, down to 16%!  Here's the kicker:  I plugged in the phone to a charger and it jumped to 65% in a matter of minutes.  I unplugged the phone and within a couple of hours it was back down to around 30%.  I plugged it in again and within 10 minutes it was up to 75%.
    At first glance it looks very much like a hardware issue.  However, I never had this problem until I upgraded to 7.0.4.  Also, the above battery roller coaster ride isn't a constant.  That is, it seems that only sometimes this happens.  So...I'm thinking it's either an app running in the background eating up juice (though I have Background App Referesh turned off) or the iOS is buggy.

  • My computer backed up my iPhone before I updated my IOS, now itunes crashes everytime I restore!  I need my Contact information!

    My computer backed up my iPhone before I updated my IOS, now itunes crashes everytime I restore!  How can I get my contact information back?

    When does iTunes crash?
    When you connect to the computer?
    When you click on the restore button?
    At sometime during the restore?
    Does it crash or does just iTunes freeze?

  • Since updating to iOS 7 iTunes crashes and will not load on my 4s

    Since updating to iOS 7 iTunes crashes and will not load on my 4s

    I tried resetting to factory and that worked for a couple of hour then I ended up with iTunes crashing again. So I logged out and logged back in and so far so good. This has kept me working for 3 days now so I won't guarantee a fix but it seems to have worked.
    Go to Settings->iTunes & App Store click on your login email and select logout. I closed all of my open apps at this time and restarted my phone which was probably an overabundance of caution, but I wanted to ensure any temporary files were gone. Log back in and hopefully all will work for you.
    Good luck.

  • Unable to update my  iOS on my iPad and iPhone.

    I am unable to update my iOS on my iPad and iPhone. Though I have had these devices and have been updating for over a year, the issue just started with this new release (iOS 5.1).
    When I connect my Pad and Phone to iTunes (Windows PC with Vista), I am told that an update is available. When I update, iTunes tries to connect to a server. Then I receive the message, "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad. The network connection could nopt be established."
    When I try to update the devices iOS using WiFi directly (not connected to iTunes). The devices say, "Checking for Update..." and does not connect. It says, "Unable to check for update...An error occurred while checking for a software update...Cancel or Try Again"

    I solved this by downlading the iOS update via wi-fi at another location other than my home. I would still like to know why this download did not work at my home as it has for over a year. I have made no changes in my firewall or security settings.
