Apple incorporated is having a problem with their Apple iPhone operating system version ten release. Apple claims it was only affecting a small handful of users the first hour but who knows if there is accuracy to that or not. What is key is that they claim that they have a solution.
You may receive an error when you upgrade your Apple iPod or Apple iPad asking you to hook it up to a personal computer or an Apple Macintosh computer because the upgrade to Apple iPhone operating system ten failed. If you have not performed upgrading your device to Apple iPhone operating system ten, then you will want to definitely backup your device.
You should have already done that or you should already know that but not to lecture. If you cannot update or restore your Apple iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch Apple stipulates you can put your Apple iPhone operating system device in recovery mode. Then you can restore with Apple iTunes software.
Another caveat is that you are going to need to make sure that your most current version of Apple iTunes software is up to date and we will get to that. If Apple iTunes does not recognize your device or says that those in recovery mode, you might have to use the recovery mode option. The Apple logo on your screen sits there forever and ever and ever.
Now it can take a couple of minutes to over an hour for the update of Apple iPhone operating system ten to complete, so you will want to become patient. You will eventually see the connect Apple iTunes screen. If you need to perform this recovery mode now, this is what you may see for a while, an image of the Apple logo.
Now even in this article Apple stipulates that it can take anywhere from a minute to over an hour. It just depends on how many files that it needs to update so just be aware that. I would allow I would say around an hour maybe a little bit longer or just the rest of the day.
If this does not change you can also periodically see if this changes. If this changes it depends on how much data and how many files are getting updated. If this is moving, if it keeps progressing then I would just leave it until it is complete
However, if it has been hours and hours or day or overnight and this has not changed, then you are probably sol for lack of a better term. At least Apple has a solution. Basically you may need to put your device in recovery mode and set it up again.
You want to make sure that you are using the latest version of Apple iTunes software. If you have deduced and reduced that you are one of the affected users or the upgrade is not going as planned. Also, the progress indicator bar show it has been a few days or a few hours.
Since this is not budging you are going to try to use the recovery mode option. However, you first want to make sure that you have the latest version of Apple iTunes software on an Apple Macintosh or personal computer. You will want to view this if you cannot update or restore your Apple iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch article.
That article shows you quick instructions on how to upgrade your version of Apple iTunes on Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows operating systems. If Apple iTunes is already open then you want to close it and then connect your device to your computer and then open Apple iTunes. That to me that is after you make sure you have the latest version of Apple iTunes software installed.
Since you are trying to upgrade to Apple iphone operating system ten then you are going to need a computer. You can borrow your significant others computer, a friends computer, or you may even have to go to an Apple store. Now while your device is connected and you have Apple iTunes software open you are going to have to force restart that device
Now that is how to to set up your device. This is how to restart your Apple iPhone, iPod, or iPad touch. You will want to press and hold the sleep or wake button until the red slider appears.
Then you will want to drag the slider to turn your device completely off. Now after the device turns off press and hold the sleep/wake button again until you see the Apple logo. You might need to perform a force restart.
You should force restart your Apple iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch as a last resort. Definitely try to try other tactics instead of a forced restart. If that upgrade completely froze up then you probably have no recourse other than a forced restart.What you will want to do is press and hold the sleep/wake buttons for at least ten seconds until you see the Apple logo. Then you will see the recovery mode screen. When you see the option to restore or update choose update.
Then Apple iTunes software will try to reinstall iPhone operating system ten without erasing your data. You should wait until the Apple iTunes software finishes downloading. Now if downloading the software takes more than fifteen minutes and that device exits recovery mode you will need to repeat these steps.
You will want to choose restore instead of update so that you want to try an update first. It is possible that I am thinking maybe the Apple iPhone operating system ten upgrade got to a certain point that there is enough files that it will continue on. Something happened where it lost connection or it just stopped.
If you try to update again, it will just resume operation. If that does not work then you want to try a restore. You can use the same steps only this time you choose restore.
If update does not work then you can try a restore. Either the update or restore will hopefully complete. Then after that is completed then you will want to setup your device.
If you did backup your device with Apple iTunes software or Apple iCloud and you chose the restore option then you can go and restore from your backup. Finally this is how to get started. Select your country.
Turn on your device. Then choose location services. You can set up touch identification and create a passcode.
You can restore or transfer your applications and data. If you use the restore option then this is when you would restore your data from backup. It just restores all the applications that you had.
Data like contacts, and etc. You will want to sign in with your Apple identification and set up your Apple iCloud drive if you have one set up. That is it.
