HI Mark,

We don't have an Apple store locally. so had to go into our local vodafonestore. but no they didn't!.

The main reason was, because I had my "find my I phone feature" enabled, hesaid he couldn't book it in for repair.

The long and short of it is, he was only going to give me their own androidphone, to give me phone access for the 3 to 5 days mine would be in theworkshop.


Best regards,

Del

Hello Del,

You went into the Apple store today and they did not give you a new phone?

No Sir!,

My wife and I have the same phone, and its only after the recent update that
mine refuses to do anything at all.

We have been into the store today, and even they are baffled. so back in
there tomorrow for sure!.

Best regards, and thanks for your thoughts,

Del

Could it possibly be your cable or wall brick?

HI Sieghard,

Yes followed the steps you suggested. but as stated in my reply to Jonathan,
battery is now flat, and won't recharge at all.

I have tried to recharge throughout the day, but no luck.

All it shows is the Apple logo. It doesn't even load voiceover or anything.

So off to the store with broken phone in the morning!.

Best regards,

Del

Hi Del,

How long has it been where it is showing the Apple?

Also, did you do a few preparations before installing? Here are the steps
you should always perform:

1. Make sure all your apps are updated.
2. Bring up the app switcher with a double press of the home key and close
all apps.
3. Connect to iTunes and, if you sync media and/or apps, do a Transfer All
Purchases and a Sync, then do a backup. If you don't usually connect to
iTunes to sync music or apps, at least do an iCloud backup.
4. As a minimum, power down your phone completely, wait 30 seconds and
restart it. Possibly even better is to go to Settings, General, Reset and
tap on "Reset All Network Settings". This will tell you that all your
network settings will be set to factory default, you have to confirm and
then this will be done and the phone will reboot. Keep in mind that doing
this will require you to reconnect to your WiFi network and you will have to
make sure you know the password to do so.
5. Now go to Settings, General, Software update and update iOS.

As Jonathan pointed out, if your 4S is really stuck and hasn't come back
after a couple of hours, then connecting your iPhone to a computer with
iTunes is the only way to fix it.

Regards,
Sieghard

Hi Mama,

Thanks for your response.

Well it seems it wasn't such a good idea!, as phone is totally useless right

now.

My wife has the same phone and has installed the update and has no problems.

so guess its just down to my bad luck or something!.

Best regards,

Del

I have heard several people say not to update a 4S and others have said it's
okay to, so I am not sure if it was a good idea or not for you to update it.
They say the processor of the 4S is not fast enough to run IOS 8.

Hi all,

I tried to update to  IOs8 this evening, and it seemed all was going well.
until such times the phone needed to switch off and reboot to install the
software update.

Since then, I can't get the phone to load anything at all.

the only thing it will do is show the Apple as it usually does before
voiceover and such loads.

So question is: has anyone any idea as to what could be causing this
problem. and any suggestions on how to remedy the situation.

Just for your reference I'm using an I phone 4 S.

Best regards,

Del
