iOS 9 Upgrade issue: How to fix a frozen iPhone

Though iOS 9 helps you to fix many bugs and glitches, iPhone users encountered the issue keep freezing all the time due to the iOS 9 upgrade.

"My iPhone 6 freezes on the startup of iOS 9.1 upgrade, even the home and lock buttons stop working. How to fix iOS 9 freeze?"




So what should you do if your iPhone 6s/6/5s/5c/5/4S freezes up or gets stuck during/after iOS 9 update? Here offers you several workable methods to fix the issue above:

Solution 1: Hard reset

Resetting is a cliche because it works. Sometimes bits get stuck and there's nothing like hitting reset to get them going again.

1. Press and hold down both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time.
2. Keep them held down until you see an Apple logo.
3. Let go.

Once your iPhone has rebooted, wait and see. If it finishes updating, you're good. If not, or if it won't reboot, go on to the next step.

Solution 2: Plug into a wall outlet

This sounds silly but it's worked for some people: plug in. It's possible that, during the install process, your iPhone dipped below a critical power level and that's why it's gotten finicky. Find an outlet or USB port, plug in, and wait 10-15 minutes. Then, see if it resumes and try a hard reset to make sure. If it goes back to working, great. If not, keep reading!

Solution 3: Restore in iTunes
If you've been backing up the way you should, you can restore your iPhone in iTunes. First try doing it the normal way and, if that doesn't work, go for recovery or DFU mode.

How to restore your iPhone in iTunes

1. Connect your device to your computer using the cable that came with it.
2. Select your iPhone when it appears in iTunes. 
3. In the Summary panel, click Restore.
4. Click Restore again to confirm that you want to restore your device to factory settings and delete all data and content. iTunes will download the device software file and restore your device.

How to put your iPhone in recovery mode

1. Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to iPhone
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake (Power) button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.

If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. Now while pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When the message screen appears, you can release the Home button.



Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don’t see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.

5. iTunes will launch automatically inform you that your device is in recovery mode and that you need to restore the device.



Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself. 

6. Click on the “Ok” button and then click on “Restore” button to restore the device.
7. After the device has been restore, follow the on-screen instructions to set it up, and recover from the backup.

You'll need to restore from an iTunes or iCloud backup to get all your content back onto your iPhone or iPad, but once done, you'll be good to go. If even that doesn't work, you have one more things to try...

After your device is restored to factory settings, it will restart. When it does, you’ll see the "Slide to set up” welcome screen. Follow the steps in the setup assistant. You can set up your device as new or use a previous backup. If you restored an iOS device that has cellular service, it will activate after you finish setting up your device.

Solution 4. Go to Apple

Sometimes hardware or software picks update time to fail. If that's the case and you live close to an Apple retail store. If you don't live close to an Apple Store, give 1-800-MY-APPLE a call instead.

Backup and Restore Files on an iOS Device

Apple’s iOS 9.0.2 update is avaliable and it’s a small upgrade that tackles some big problems. ... Now would be a good time to back up your iOS devices on a regular basis before upgrading which will save you a lot of headaches if your phone fails or gets lost in the future. There are many ways to back up and restore files on an iOS device, we will cover just the basics 6 ones.



1. Backing up with iCloud

An item of note before I explain the backup process: Apple has changed their iCloud storage tiers over time. You can see the current plans here, or by going to Settings → iCloud → Storage → Change Storage Plan.

For the US, the current plans and pricing are:
  • 5 GB — Free (same as ever)
  • 50 GB — $1/month
  • 200 GB — $3/month
  • 1 TB — $10/month
While I do wish 50 GB was the free plan, Apple has matched Dropbox on the 1 TB option and lowered the pricing elsewhere. 50 GB will cover the vast majority of people’s backup needs.

With that said, here’s how to back your data up to iCloud. First, let’s determine what you want to include in (or exclude from) the backup. To do that, navigate to Settings → iCloud → Storage → Manage Storage → Choose your device under ‘Backups’.

Under Backup Options you will see a list of toggles for the photo library and every app on your device, sorted by file size:



Everything will be toggled on by default, so turn off any items you’d rather not back up. If you’ve upgraded to one of the new storage tiers listed above and space is no concern, then we recommend leaving everything on.

Once you’ve determined what to back up, make sure the device is on a Wi-Fi network and, for best results, connected to a power source (this process can take a while). Now, navigate back to Settings → iCloud → Backup and ensure iCloud Backup is toggled on. If it is, you’ll see a Back Up Now option. Just tap that button and wait for the process to complete.

Also note that iCloud backups can happen automatically at night. Assuming your iOS device is plugged in and charging and is also connected to a Wi-Fi network, it will automatically back up to iCloud. If you’ve been running the iOS 9 betas on your iPhone/iPad/iPod, be sure that it has a current backup before setting up. Some versions of the public beta had issues making iCloud backups.

Issues with backing up iOS Device data via iCloud

1. iCloud doesn’t work if you use iPhone under iOS 6 or iOS 5;
2. iCloud can’t restore parts of data selectively.
3. You are allowed to get 5 GB of free iCloud storage. And you can’t backup to iCould if you don’t have enough space

2. Backing up with iTunes

An iTunes backup is a great option if: (a) you need more space than the free/paid tier of iCloud storage you have allows; or (b) you want an extra layer of backup in addition to your iCloud backup.

The process is simple:
  • Plug your device into your Mac or PC.
  • Open iTunes and select the iDevices icon in the upper-left corner.
  • Click the Summary tab and scroll down to the Backups section.
  • Click the Back Up Now button and wait for the backup to complete.
  • To verify that the backup worked, open iTunes Preferences and select the Devices tab. If the backup was successful, you’ll see it listed there.
It’s not as slow as iCloud, but can still take a while if you’re not in the habit of regularly backing up your device. If you don’t keep local copies of your applications stored in iTunes, you’ll want to transfer purchases before trying to restore to a new phone. You can do from File → Devices → Transfer Purchases. Once your new phone is restored and all your apps have been reloaded, you can delete the apps off your Mac to save space.

Issues with backing up iOS Device data via iTunes:

1. iTunes may ask you to sync or upgrade your iOS and wipe all the contents.
2. iTunes can’t selectively backup data, it will takes you a few hours each time the iPhone backs up since doing an image backup.

3. Backing up with MobileTrans

Run and Install MobileTrans on your computer, and connect your old idevices and new one to it via 2 USB cables > Select the content you want to backup > Start Copy. In the pop-up dialog, you can see the transfer progress. When it’s finished, the data on your old data will be transferred to your new iPad/iPhone/iPad.

4. External Hard Drive

The iTunes library is a database iTunes uses to organize your music and movies. The best way to back up your iTunes library is to consolidate your library into one folder and then copy that folder to an external hard drive. Here are official steps on how to backup iTunes library to external hard drive.

5. Sync iPhone/iPad/iPod Data to Google

To backup iOS data without iTunes, you can choose to sync iPhone/iPad/iPod Mail, Calendar, and Contacts to Google. Here is a step-by-step guide to set up Google Sync with your iOS device.



Note: Google Sync is only supported on Apple iOS versions 3.0 and above

6. Using a Third-party iOS Backup Software

Not only being taken as an iOS Data RecoveryWondershare Dr.Fone for iOS can also flexibly and selectively backup files from iOS devices to computer. With it, you can scan files like photos, contacts, SMS, voice memos, reminders, call history, SMS attachments, Safari bookmarks and more saved on your iPhone, and you are allowed to preview all files and select which are important to save on your computer. Mac  users can refer to this review.

Tips: Highly recommend iOS backup before:
  • Accidently deleted files.
  • Restored to Factory settings without backup.
  • Lost iPhone/iPad/iPod data due to jailbreak or iOS update.
  • iDevices were inaccessible when it is stuck in Apple logo screen, locked with passcode.
  • iOS devices was lost, broken, wet or stolen.
  • Getting a new iPhone/iPod/iPad.
  • Sync with iTunes.
