ios 6 stuck and Frozen
Both my ipad and my iphone are stuck on a screen that shows an update progress bar that isn't moving.
The download happened. This is in the installation phase. What to do? Both devices are frozen. Scared to force a restart.

Wow! this just happened to me it was kind of frightning. A new ipod for christmas and already it froze. I just restarted it by holding the power button and the home button at the same time and now it iw working again.🙂
Just in case anyone is still having this issue I tried to restart my iPod touch (4th Gen) a bunch of times, and restart iTunes with no success. I then realized that I was using an non-Apple USB to Dock Connector cable. I dug around the house for an Apple one, swapped the cables, and restarted the iPod. Everything is working/updating now. Just an FYI for those of us out there (like me) that overlook the simple issues. 🙂
My iphone froze after responding to prompt to update to IOS 6. Very scary prospect!!!
I managed to fix problem by following following instructions on About, which returned phone to factory settings. Also managed to restore most of my personal settings, as I fortunately had a back up of my iphone on my computer (some might have backup on cloud). I am now a very happy camper... :-) Thankyou About - you are a providing a valuable service to us.

My IPHONE 4 updrade is running for last 10hrs.There is no progress bar.I can only see white apple icon coming and gng evey 10-15 seconds.Cant even resart my phone and worst part ..the phone is nt getting detected in my laptop.
I was updating my iphone 4s and it stopped!! It wouldn't let me do anything but go back to factory setting. Lost everything i have now. I am so freaking disappointed and mad!!! what the **** apple did??
The issue was resolved.
I upgraded my itunes to latest version and then re-started the upgradation of my Iphone 4 in restore mode.
Download of software took almost an hour.
But the installation went smoothly and got completed in less than 30 min. 😀
My Ipod Touch 4. gen got stuck on the "verifying Ipod-unit.." part of the update, with the usb and itunes icons showing on the screen of the ipod. I tried disconnecting, restarting and all that on the pod, but ultimately I had to use taskmanager to quit itunes and then start it up again. Well, it worked, but it also made my ****** apple **** return to factory settings, so now I have squat on it. I would have thought that my 40gb of music would take a little longer to erase, as it took countless hours to get the dang music on it. Well, well, nothing to do about it. Thanks "apple" for making expensive crap and software that ***** a dingbat.
TL;DR: Apple is shady, and I will not be using their products in the future. Also DO NOT DOWNLOAD UPDATE 6.0.1, you have been warned.
Thank man your a life saver, I already looked into getting apple to repare it!!!
The hang on sync can be avoided by updating all purchased apps before beginning the sync of a new iPhone 6. With the current demand on Apple servers, updating your existing apps can take a couple of hours. After the purchased apps have been updated, the sync process will load quickly without the hang experienced by many when apps are loading to the new phone from a previous iPhone generation backup.
I made sure to update all apps prior to upping to ios8. I am also having the sync issue. Please apple, look at number of threads and people with this issue. Please address ASAP.
