IPhone software update errored. How can I fix my iPhone without having to do a restore?

I plugged in my iPhone 4 to do a sync this afternoon.  I got the message that there was a software update.  Sadly, I've updated to the crappy iOS7, so I chose to install the update (which I think is 7.0.2.)  The update was downloaded, and was loading to my iPhone.  I suddenly received an error that my iPhone couldn't update.  I think it had an error code of 411. My iTunes refreshed, and is now not showing that it recognized my phone.  Now the only thing I can get to show up on my screen is a graphic of the iTunes icon, and an arrow directing me to plug in my phone.  When I do this, a message appears that iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and that I must restore this phone before it can be used with iTunes.  I don't want to perform a restore.  I will lose all my data.  So, why did this error?  How can I fix my iPhone without doing a restore?

I think it had an error code of 411....So, why did this error?
There is no such error code.  No one can tell you why without the correct code.
Was this phone EVER jailbroken?

There is no way to get out of recovery mode without restoring.
You mean you actually didn't back up before updating, really?

    purchased books do not show up on my Kindle app since the software update.  how can I fix?

        I love reading books on my phone, nubi. So I understasnd your desire to get this resolved in a timely manner. Unfortuantely, this is not something that Verizon supports. I would suggest reaching out to application developer. They should be able to provide you with some insight. Have a great day.

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware.
    The maximum iOS version for the fourth generation iPod touch and iPhone 3GS is 6.1.3.

  • I just installed ios 8 update and now my email won't open and I can't receive calls.  All of my apps have been updated.  How can I fix this?

    I have an iphone 5 and I just installed the latest ios update and now I can't open my email app and I can't receive calls.  All of my apps have been updated.  How can I fix this?

    Try a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. If it still isn't working, then restore the phone.

  • HT4623 I haven't got an option for software update? How can I update my ipad2

    I haven't got an option for software update? How can I update my ipad2 to ios5.1

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • HT1338 hi i am using mac os x 10.5.8 but this os is not supporting few software updates.so how can i get a better version of os?

    hi i am using mac os x 10.5.8 but this os is not supporting few software updates.so how can i get a better version of os?,,this os not supporting google chrome and i tunes 7..

    The next Mac OS version os 10.6.
    Below is a link to some details how you can obtain that for your Mac.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4368218
    After you upgrade to 10.6 and update to 10.6.8 you can buy version 10.8 online at the Mac App Store.
    That will provide the basis for any of the latest software you now want.

    If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.

  • For some reason every time I try to open iPhoto, it opens it but immediately it frozen. I can no do anything or see any of my pictures. How can I fix it? without erasing any of my pictures.

    For some reason every time I try to open iPhoto, it opens it but immediately it frozen. I can no do anything or see any of my pictures. How can I fix it? without erasing any of my pictures.

    What version of iPhoto?
    A. iPhoto '11. Version 9.4.2 (710.42)
    What version of the Operating System?
    A.Mac OS X Version 10.7.5
    What was I doing when the problem arose?
    A. I was uploading some pictures from my camera to my Mac then I closed it. next time tried to open it and it went right to the way that the pictire before shows.
    Did it ever work properly?
    A. It had some details; like taking a lot of time to send a picture from iPhoto to an e-mail or not send it at all.
    What steps have I tried already to solve the issue?
    A. None, I havent wanted to do anything to fix it because I'm afraid I could somehow delete my pictures. I know the pictures still there; because, they are on my screen saver changing and changing.
    I also want to know if there is any other way for me to see my pictures other than trought iPhoto?

  • HT4528 I forgot my passcode for my iPhone and I had too much content to back it up in iCloud. How can I unlock my phone without having to restore it?

    I forgot my passcode for my iPhone and I had too much content to back it up in iCloud. How can I unlock my phone without having to restore it? I don't want to lose all my contacts and messages.

    You can't. The ONLY solution is to restore the device. If there were an easy way around the passcode lock, it wouldn't serve much purpose, would it?

  • How can I view iTunes charges without having iTunes?

    How can I view iTunes charges without having iTunes?
    Unless you have iTunes installed. I cannot find a way to see details about charges to my account.
    I understand that a confirmation email is sent after each charge, but unfortunately I delete those.
    Apple has to implement an easier way for people to track details of charges without the need of iTunes, since most people do not connect or depend anymore of iTunes and only use (OTA) for registration, updates, iCloud restore, etc.

    Sorry, but other than the receipts, the only way to view the dates and costs of a purchase are by using iTunes ona  computer. If you want to make suggestions to Apple regarding a different method, you can use their feedback pages:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Those people who do not arrange access to iTunes are taking a big risk with their purchases, since without backing up to iTunes on your computer you're at the mercy of the app and content owners who can remove items at any time. This has happened on numerous occasions, and if that happens, redownloading that item will no longer be possible, leaving you with no recourse should you inadvertently or deliberately remove the item from your iOS device.
    Regards.

  • HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT  HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?

    I have a big problem.
    I want to delete an entire event from my library because everytime I select it imovie freezes and then close itself up. So I have to re-open imovie again. And when I want to select that particular event again the same problem occures. So I can not select that particular event. Therefore I can take NO action on this event.
    HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?
    (Everytime I select it imovie closes itself up)
    All other events work fine. I believe The footage had a problem from capturing. but now it's in my computer and i can't open it.
    Please help me, I don't need this event, I can't open it therefore I can't use it and it takes place on my hardrive for nothing.
    Thank you

    One can delete it from one's computer. In the finder go to homeuser, movies, imovie events, delete the footage.
    Then reopen iMovie and see if that helps.

    Delete the problem song(s) from library including file(s). Then go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Select Music tab to re-download again for free.

    Created an apple I'd using a wrong e-mail address. Can't access the e-mail to varify the Apple ID in order to be able to change the account settings. Any idea how can change the account information without having to varify the account through the e-mail?

    You are trying to find a loophole to circumvent a basic rule that prohibits the transfer of purchased content from one Apple ID to another.
    Content tied to an Apple ID are bound to that Apple ID forever. You can not merge or trade accounts. Well, not (officially) anyway...
