Can't access my IPhone 4S following the IOS 7 latest update

Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum and I really need your help.
I own and IPhone 4S since October 2011 and I have always updated it with the latest updates.
Yesterday evening was no different when I updated my phone with the latest IOS 7 version 7.0.2.
the phone completed the update, reset itself. I plugged it In its charger and I went to bed.
I Woke up this morning to find that I cannot access my phone at all, the only thing I see on my screen is the ITunes icon and a USB plugin. I used the home button or power button individually and in combination, but nothing changes even when I try to reset it, after the Apple icon on start up had disappeared it reverts back to the screen with the ITunes icon and USB plugin.
So I then decided to plug in my phone into my IMac to see if I could restore it to its orignal settings via iTunes. When I plug it in iTunes, i have two options, first to Check for updates or second to reset all original factory settings. This last options means that I will lose all my data (Photos, contact list, etc)
is there a way I can access my phone to download my data onto my iMac or did I just loose all my data and my only option is to reset my phone to its original factory settings ?
Any thoughts or input from you guys would be greatly appreciated !
Cheers !

Dear Pierre2936,
when you have set you iPhone for update the iTunes have automatically made a backup which i assume is saved with you on your PC . check if its there ... as far as your device is concern they might have been some issue while updating the firmware and the updation was not completed properly and due the unsuccessful updation your iPhone is stuck in recovery mode. you need to download the complete iPhone 4S iOS 7.0.2
http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS7/091-9872.20130924.2wc82/iPhone4,1_7.0.2_11A501_Re store.ipsw from this link and restore the device manually.
You can do this from within iTunes by shift + mouse click the restore button which will give you an opendialogue box to select the iPSW from which you want to update your iPhone now have patience and let the iTunes complete its process and see if this resolves your issue .
once your device is in working condition restore your backup which you already have on ur PC and you don't have it then your data is lost :-(

    Are you running Leopard on your Mac, Laurie?
    If so, try instead updating to iTunes 10.6.3.25. (That supports earlier models of iPhones running iOS 6, even though it can't run the new iPhone 5s.)
    A .dmg installer for iTunes version 10.6.3.25 for Mac OS can be found at the following download page on the Apple website:
    iTunes 10.6.3

  • My iPhone 4S had the iOS 6 update and I have been trying to download all day but it won't work and now when I go to software update of says iOS 5.1.1 is up to date

    My iPhone 4S had the iOS 6 update and I have been trying to download all day but it won't work and now when I go to software update of says iOS 5.1.1 is up to date. And I cant restore my iPhone becuase when I go onto iTunes it says that it can't find my iPhone. I have tryed to download the most resent iTunes because I went to apple website and just hit download iTunes so I guess it's the most resent version and I don't know what to do. Should I go to an apple store?

  • On my iphone 4s, with the ios 7 update why icloud password is always asked every 3-4 minutes

    on my iphone 4s, with the ios 7 update why icloud password is always asked every 3-4 minutes? I'm getting crazy.

    its asking you to verify your Cloud account and you should do so.
    You can either do so by answering your own secret questions or asking for email to be sent to you which gives link to reset password.
    Has to be 8 characters minimum and at least one Upper case and One lower case letter with one numeral
    Hope this helps

  • Problems with iPhone 4s since the IOS 6 update

    I've had nothing but problems with the IOS 6 update! The day after the update my camera started to slowly go out. I open my camera ap and the "lens cap" appears and then it sits for a few seconds and takes me back to my home screen. Annoying yes, but not the end of the world. But today I wanted to break my phone in half. I started to dial my brother's phone number and before I keyed the last two digits of his number my phone decided to call the number on it's own. I have yet get that off my screen. I can no longer make or receive any calls. When my phone is locked instead of my screen saver appearing my phone displays a screen that looks as though as my husband is trying to call me with his caller id photo- I swipe to "answer" it and it reverts back to the phone screen with keypad and the half dialed cell phone number of my brother! All calls are going straight to voicemail. When I leave the phone ap the green bar appears at the top of the screen and says "tap to return to call". If you tap to return to the call - there it is again-the half dialed number of my brother. I'm losing my mind and so frustrated. I put it into airplane mode hoping to "refresh" it and it still does it in airplane mode. I've never had to reset it and I'm not sure what option of resets to pick. Any advice is welcomed because I'm lost at this point.

    Try to reset the phone. Hold both the home and power buttons at the same time. When the Apple logo appears on the screen, you can release the buttons and wait for the device to reboot. No data is lost during ths process.

  • HT5934 How do i get my iPhone 4 verify the iOS 7 update?

    I downloaded the iOS 7 but when I press install now it says that it is verifying my update but then it says update not available so how do I get it to update??

    I mentioned this on another thread.  It's hard to gauge when to try it again, so I'd wait until night time and hopefully there will be a certain portion of the population asleep and the servers can handle the traffic.
    I read online that iOS7 brought some university networks down to a screeching halt due to people upgrading, so hopefully that gives you an idea as to how many people are trying to do it today.  Wait until tonight and give it a shot.

  • My iphone 4 did the iOS 5 update yesterday and I feel like my battery life is worse. I've only had the phone a week and I havent plugged it into itunes on my laptop at all or anything yet. Anything suggestions?

  • ITunes will not open on my iPhone 4S since the iOS 7 update

    Any solutions for this issue?

    I went to the music app, select artists along the bottom and then "store" at the top left. This opened the iTunes app. It first said it can't connect but after trying different icons in the app it started to work. Opens every time now. Can't explain it but it worked.

  • I've had a bunch of issues with my iPhone 4 since the iOS 7 update

    My iMessage doesn't work at all.  Whenever I send iMessages they don't load nor do they automatically convert to text messages like they used to whenever the iMessage didnt work. 
    Next, I used to be able to highlight and define a word I typed in a text, a tweet, or an email etc. and now whenever I highlight and select define for a word it always says no definition found.  I used to love that feature. 
    Finally, I find that some websites take longer to load now than they did before.
    What to do, what to do?  Im starting to regret updating to iOS 7.

    How about starting with the basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide?
