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.

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!.

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. -----Original Message----- From: Bluesman02 Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2014 4:25 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Phone refuses to load. 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.
