Downloaded the new iPhone update for my 4s and now I get the the "connect to iTunes" image. When I do, it says it needs to restore factory settings. Help! What do I do?

I downloaded the new IOS software update today and now my 4s is stuck on the "connect to iTunes" icon on the screen. When I connect it, it says my cell needs to be restored to factory settings. I don't want to lose everything. Help please! I saw someone else had this problem so hopefully there's already a solution. Thank you.

They will be gone from the iphone, but you should be syning all contacts to your computer regularly and should be importing all pics to your computer regularly, particularly before any update.
Have you failed to do this?

"The new java Version 7 Update 13 is not exactly helpful in macbook pro.
try the version 11 or 12 they should work perfectly."
The OP is running 10.6.8 so Java 6 is his option at this point.

I've had the new iPhone 5 for about a month now, and it is still saying it is currently restoring still. Is that supposed to still be happening? Everything works just fine, but it's not letting me update the new software bc it's still saying it's restoring.

Is there any solutions yet. I'm also having this problem for almost a month now. I'm using two Macbook Pro Mountain Lion and Yosemite, two iPads and iphone 5s. All updated. I use Apps that needed to be updated. Well, I try to purchase a trial version a month ago and I want to buy it now but always say I have a billing problem. Also, I have new devices with Apps that has to the Appstore, some are free but also give me the same headaches. I tried all the solutions posted on this forum, also tried other solutions, obviously it did not work at all. Does Apple hear about this? Settings > Store and signed out/signed in did not work for me. Please respond.

Reset and start all over again.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

My iPod is disabled, but not because I forgot the password. It says I need to connect with iTunes, but when I try it says I need to enter the password. What do I do?

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

TS4036 I just uploaded the new 7 update 2 days ago and now my phone has locked me out and is saying disabled , i called verizon and the said to contact apple . it asked for my pass code but i did not remember it and tried it to many times and it is locked

help!!!!! i just uploaded 2 days ago the new 7 update to my phone , then yesterday morning , it said disabled and asked me for my pass code . I couldnt remember what it was , so after trying different ones it finally locked me out for good. how do i fix this !!!!!!?????

If your phone is disabled from entering the wrong passcode too many times you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

I was downloading the latest update for my ipad and now my ipad has the itunes icon and chord on the front but won't turn on or be found in my itunes or computer?

I was attempting to download the latest update to my ipad which was to take 2 hours so i left it alone, when I came back my ipad would not turn on, now it has the itunes icon and a plug on the front, what does this mean? And now it can't be recognized on my computer at all?
I did a restore but nothing has happened. How do I get it to come back on?

You'll have to restore your iPad. With your iPad still connected to your computer, press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time and your iPad will restore.

I did the most recent update for Apple TV and now it won't turn on.

Screen is displaying that I need to connect to iTunes. iTunes is not picking up the device.

Did you follow the instructions exactly? Disconnecting all cables, then connecting micro usb? Make sure to conect directly to the computer instead of using ports on a keyboard or USB hub.

So I have a gen2 8gig iPod touch and just the other day updated to 4.3 and now my pod wont show up in iTunes. Is it not compatible? Does this mean I can no longer sync my iPod??

I can no longer sync my iPod as it does not show up in my iTunes anymore, is this because I upgraded my Itunes??

You should still be able to sync you iPod. Your iPod just can be updated past iOS 4.2.1.
Assuming you have a PC, start her to get your computer to see the iPod.

It appeared me an update on my iphone 4, which has already iOS 7, and now it tells me to connect to itunes. but when I do, Itunes requests restore phone settings. what is happening?

Help! I don't know what to do

The problem is your friend's music does not belong to you. It is owned by your friend.
I'm afraid you cannot do what you are trying to do. Restoring the iPhone is what you would have to do.
In the future, put your music on the computer and transfer it to the iPhone, not the other way.

HT1459 My Ipod touch 4g says its disabled and connect to iTunes but when i do it says it needs to be unlock with a passcode. but i cant because it says disabled connect to itunes on the top of it. the only thing i can do is turn it off thats it.

Hey Hollywoodisin,
If you forgot the passcode, you have a few options that are outlined in the following document:

I deleted all of my messages but still could not receive texts after restoring and restarting my phone. Can anything be done to remedy this??? Thanks!

Apple is screwing the pooch on this one. Need to call in and be vocal.

I just downloaded a new software update on my I-phone5. As part of the process I was asked to sign in to iCloud and enter the password for an ID that I've long ago deleted with Apple. Anyone know why my new apple ID isn't coming up,

No. The problem is that when you changed Apple IDs you did not update your Apple ID to reflect the change, so your phone is still associated with the old ID. You will need to un-associate it. The process is the same as what you would do if you sold the phone. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661

That message means that you have to restore the iOS software because something went wrong. Follow the instructions here. I hope that you have a backup.
