Cannot update or restore my Iphone
Every time I plug my iphone into my computer (a PC) the screen pops up saying that I need to either set it up as a new iphone or restore from a previous backup. I really don't want to do either but decided to I save all of my photos onto my computer and try the restore. But when I try the restore it says that It cannot restore because the backup session failed. Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated!

Try updating directly on the device, via iTunes on the computer, and iTunes on a different computer.
If the iPhone has been hacked or jailbroken, it may not be possible to update. -

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Help I cannot update or restore my iphone3gs?
Help I cannot update or restore my iphone3gs?
When I try to update or restore my iphone3gs it say the required resource cannot be found. YES IPHONE3GS IS COMPATIBLE WITH IOS5. I went on the apple website and it came up with this:
The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go toSettings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed. Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
I have never updated it before or done the pre-release thing. I dont understand how to fix it my iphone version is 4.3.3 (8J2) and modem firmware is 05.16.02.
plz help and thanks for your timeRead the article from which the question was posted, it addresses errors and their resolutions.

I downloaded apps with one appleid on my iphone. When my account was disabled I set up a new appleid & account. Now I cannot update apps on my iphone that were downloaded with original appleid when I login with my new apple id. What do I need to do?
You can write into support and ask for help reenabling the account through this link here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
Since the applications were purchased on the older account, you will need to log into that account to update them. The newer account will not recognize the purchases because they are not a part of the purchase history for the specific account. -
I recently updated and restored my Iphone on a Mac. My music was erased, therefore, I am trying to sync all of the music from my computer into the iPhone, but it says that I need to use the original computer/itunes in order to sync, but it is the same computer and iTunes account. The error reads: The iPhone, "Name" is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and a sync with this iTunes library? If I click "Erase and Sync," will it delete my contacts, apps, etc?
The following may help: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Can't update or restore your iPhone 4
can't update or restore my iPhone 4,I have been trying since week by either restoring or updating but the phone isn't coming out of recovery mode,Please help!!!
Try DFU mode:
How to put your iPhone in DFU mode :
Connect your iPhone to your computer.
Turn iPhone off.
Hold power and home together for 10 seconds (exactly).
Release power but keep holding home until the computers beeps (observed on a PC) as a USB device is recognized.
A few seconds later iTunes should detect your iPhone.
If the Restore Logo is present on the screen, you are in Recovery Mode, not DFU.
If DFU doesn't work, your only choice is to take it to Apple for evaluation. -
since updating and restoring my iphone 3gs it no longer can find my sim itunes cant activate it because no sim inserted can anyone help
That usually means the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock the phone and when you update the phone it locked back up again.
Only way to resolve this issue, is to find out who the orignal carrier was and have them unlock it. If you bought this from a 3rd party contact the seller and have him/her unlock it for you by contacting the phone carrier. -
