How do I get my phone to finish its software update without connecting to itunes?

I just updated my Iphone 4 to the most recent version of IOS 6 and after the software was loaded my phone prompted me to connect to itunes.  The kicker is I don't have a computer to connect to itunes on becasue my work computer has a lock on it and I lost my personal computer in a fire.  Any suggestions?

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • I cannot get past the usb picture on my 3gs,how can i update without connecting to itunes

    I am unable to update my 3gs by connecting it to itunes, i have reset it via itunes but thats as far as i can get, i cant even get to the home screen to connect to wi fi,
    I would like to contact apple to rectify this matter but i begrudge paying £25,

    You can't get past it without connecting to iTunes. You must restore the phone using iTunes. It's in recovery mode.
    You said you "reset it via itunes"... what does that mean? What happened? Did you get an error message? What did it say?
    Make an appointment at the genius bar and have them look at it if nothing else. They won't charge you anything to diagnose it.

  • How do I get an unlocked iPhone 3GS out of recovery mode (connect to itunes error) on screen. Cannot do anything on phone until problem is fixed ...

    After putting phone into DFU mode and attempting to restore and update the phone, at the end, an error message came up saying: "the iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1)."
    How do I go about fixing this problem. I need to get my phone out of this (connect to itunes) mode. Everything I've tried does not work ! By the way, I have the latest version of itunes .. (iTunes 11)

    Error 1 basically means you need to try two more times, and if the issue remains unresolved, contact Apple Support.
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors - Support - Apple
    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • How do I get my iPhone 5 with iOS 7.0 to connect to iTunes 11.1.0.126?

    Hey I recentely upgraded to iTunes 11.1 and downloaded iOS 7.0 from the wifi in my classroom. I had to just erase my music library in order to get the 3.1 GB required space, but after that the download went down without any issues. When I brought my phone back to my laptop to sync all of my music and pictures via USB cable back to, it does not give any connection to itunes. My Windows OS is able to open up the pictures folder and I can modify my camera role as I see fit through windows explorer as in the past, but itunes refuses to connect. I tried to look for discussions with similar issues without any luck, so if anyone had this problem and figured it out, I would really appreciate it.

    windows 8 has been out long enough to have fixed this issue you would think  Its bad enough my last computer hard drive went out and i lost all on it but now i cant backup my phone so if I lose it or something happens to it Ill be in bad shape  lol   PLEASE fix this issue!!! Too much info to store on Icloud but could be apples way of getting people to use the icloud and buy extra storage on icloud

  • How do I get my iphone to reboot after software update?

  • How do I get my phone to download apps and updates. It stopped working. All apps read "waiting"

    My apps stopped downloading and or updating! iphone 4S latest update. It seems to get stuck on "waiting", that's what it says under the app I'm trying to download, but it never progresses from there.
    I have tried:
    Turning off and on
    Hard Reset, Holding down home and power button untill apple icon comes back
    deleting apps that were not updating
    There is memory available

    Sorry to hear that.  I'm wondering if perhaps one of the updates is larger than 20MB as I wrote above (Skype, some HD apps or games like Asphalt 6) and that is causing the delay.  I have also noticed that Asphalt in particular takes forever to install and it appears that the progress bar is "stalled" for several minutes, then it moves veeeeeeeeeeery slowly until it is downloaded, changes to "Loading" then "Installing" and finally finished.  Check for any of these types of apps, and if so you may want to deselect that one from updating, let the others run (according to my instructions above), and *then* update any larger ones. 
    I also note that you are trying to update Twitter.  Off-hand I do not know the size of that update, but it's worth looking at iTunes to see what the size is.  If you're not set on using the native Twitter app, there are others you may want to try like UberSocial (my favorite), TweetDeck, and more.
    Are you accessing through WiFi or 3G? 
    I also have to say that I have had a 3GS, the 4 and now also the 4S and I have noticed a significant increase in speed on the 4S coming from either of the other devices.
    Please let me know how this works, and if you're still unsuccessful I will do my best to think of something else.
    Thanks!

  • How can I recover my phone memory after the software update...

    Hi,
    My has been dead for one day, after continuous trying, I got a pop window to install the updates. I thought only updates and clicked on it. But it took long time and my phone got reset. All my data which was stored on phone memory got wiped out. I didn't use blackberry link before. First time I used it and it was happened like this.
    Please help me how can I recover that data again. Please guys..I lost very important data..plz do help me..

    Hello,
    Restore depends on a source of data from which to restore. BB provides plenty of FREE methods to backup your data and thereby protect that priceless resource. If you did not avail yourself of that, then you have migrated from the latter to the former in this old saying...there are 2 kinds of computing device users -- those who have lost data, and those who will. Backups, like insurance, are neither a reactive nor an optional activity.
    Good luck!

I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

  • HT1535 if you forget your password how can u get in to you device it when it says connect to itunes?

    help me!         
    i forgot my password and i cant get in

    You'll need to connect the device to iTunes and restore it.  If iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod still, try manually placing it in recovery mode first and then performing the restore in iTunes. See this article for instructions on putting the iPod into recovery mode.
