Downloaded Update to iOS6 via wifi, now it says I have to connect to iTunes. Why?

I downloaded the update to iOS6 via wifi, now it says I have to connect to iTunes. Why? From all of the articles and blogs I have read it should have updated without a hitch.
Anyone else have this problem?

I'm not trying to be a smart A**. Is this a case of "misery loves company"? Will it make you feel better if someone else had issues? Do what you want to do.
Sometimes things happen when you update software. That is why you are always supposed to backup. Others have had issues - just look around.

  • I tryed to update my iphone, now its saying i have to connect with itunes but when i plug it into a computer the only option is to restore it, i would lose all my things please help quick.

    so recently i wanted to load my friends music onto my phone because my laptop broke and i had no other way to get my music. i loged out of my itunes so the music could load without any problems. i tryed to so an update on the softwear today and my phone says i need to conncect to itunes, but when i try the only option is to restore it! that would mean all my things on my phone GONE. please help i cant live without a phone for long but i dont want to have to restore it. pleaseee please tell me somone can help.

    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.

  • I downloaded a software update on my iPhone. Now it's asking me to connect to iTunes, but I don't have my computer with iTunes to connect to and won't be able to for a few days. What can I do to use my phone now?

    Hi,
    Thank you for your reply, I did go to my general settings, but for some odd reason I don't have a restrictions setting, or a reset setting. I thought I could reset all the setting to see if it could be that, but as I said there aren't any.
    My husband also has the iPad 2, and also did the software update and hasn't had any problems at all. I took both iPad's and compared the settings thinking maybe there could be a setting that could have been changed when the update was done.

  • After updating got error 4005.  Now all I am getting is connect to itunes screen.  Won't let me do anything.

    Have you jailbroken either of these devices? Have you used the computer you are trying to update with to jailbreak a device? Have you tried using another computer to do the update? You may have to make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have the device checked, or send the device off to Apple care.

  • My iphone 5c keeps restarting by itself ever since I updated to IOS 8.02. Its really frustrating because it says I have to connect to Itunes and get an update but when I try to update Error 27 keeps popping up. I had to restore my iphone about 10 tim

    I had to restore my iphone about 10 times in the space of 24 Hours. This really *****. Someone please help!!!!

    Hello TonioG242,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I see that you are getting error 27 when trying to update your iPhone in iTunes.  I can definitely understand how this is a frustrating issue, especially after trying multiple times to restore the phone but to only get the same error.  There are troubleshooting steps however that you can follow to help resolve the issue.
    Check for hardware issues
    Related errors: 1, 3, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
    These errors mean that your device or computer might have a hardware issue that stops the update or restore from completing.
    Check that your security software and settings aren't blocking your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Make sure that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

    Have a good one,
