HT201210 my iphone 3gs was erased when trying to install latest update - how to fix?

I was trying to install the lastest itunes update to my iphone 3gs and got an error message after software was loaded.  Now my phone is a blank screen with the apple logo and itunes does not recoginze my phone.   Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Did you manage to fix the issue?
I have exactly the same issue as described above : I installed the update 5.1.1 on my iphone 3GS and since then, I can not turn it on anymore. In Itunes, I get an error 37 when I am doing a restauration and it stops.
This error has nothing to do with firewall : I tried to restore the phone on several computers, including in an Apple reseller and it did not work anywhere.
I spent several hours on phone with the hotline from Apple which arrived to the conclusion that it is a hardware issue, but the phone was working perfectly fine until I installed this update!

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • HT1926 when trying to instal itunes update i got an error, will downloading itunes again erase my current library?

    When trying to instal an itune update on my Pc i got an error message, should i download itunes again, and if i do so will it erase my current library?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • IPhone 3GS gets error when syncing after installing ios6

    I just updated my iPhone 3GS to ios6, and it appears to have added a ton of Gigs to the phone. I've been trying to take apps and other things off the phone, but I'm still over my limit. And, after several syncs, I got the following error message:
    The iPhone "(name of my phone)" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1156).
    Anyone have a solution? I'm not eligible for an upgrade until next spring because the 4S I purchased last fall was stolen and never recovered. Right after I left the store. Sigh. So I'm stuck with this one for now. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Restore your device as NEW (not from backup).  If that doesn't work, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.
