HT4061 How can I get out of this situation? I am out of ideas and DESPARATE

I tried to update my iPhone 4 with the latest update iOS 7.1 or whatever it's called and it wants me to restore my phone. Well it didn't ****ing tell me that before I downloaded the mother****er and I don't have my phone prepared. Basically I NEED the info on my phone and I can't lose it, but Apple support keeps asking me for my **** serial number and I have no way of getting the message across to them that I CAN'T FIND MY SERIAL NUMBER BECAUSE MY PHOOOOONE IS INUSABLE RIGHT NOW. Someone please help, SOON. I'm a college student who needs his phone for emails about class, texts from organizations and general use. Please, I can't afford a new phone at the moment and I'm VERY frustrated with the fact that I'm probably without all of my contacts and email info and everything else.

Hi itunes for windows,
If you are being repeatedly prompted to authorize iTunes, even after you have already done so, you may find the following article helpful:

My phone is in recovery mode after trying to install new release. How can I get out of this?

My iphone 4 is in recovery mode after trying to install update 7.1.1. How can I get out of this with out having to do a restore?

You don't. You have no choice but to restore at this point. The update did not complete successfully. iOS needs to be restored using iTunes.

In Mail, one mailbox for Recovered Message (AOL) keeps showing 1 very large message that I cannot delete. How can I get rid of this recurring problem, please?

In Mail on iMac, successfully running OS X Lion, one mailbox on My Mac for "Recovered Messages (from AOL)" keeps showing 1 very large message (more than 20 Mb) that I just cannot seem to delete. Each time I go into my In Box, the "loading" symbol spins and the message appears in the "Recovered Messages" mailbox. How can I get rid of this recurrent file, please?
At the same time, I'm not receviving any new mails in my In Box, although, if I look at the same account on my MacBook Pro, I can indeed see the incoming mails (but on that machine I do not have the "recovery" problem).
The help of a clear-thinking Apple fan would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

I worked it out.
Unhide your hidden files ( I used a widget from http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles.html)
Go to your HD.
Go to Users.
Go to your House (home)
there should be a hidden Library folder there (it will be transparent)
Go to Mail in this folder
The next folder ( for me ) is V2
Click on that and the next one will be a whole list of your mail servers, and one folder called Mailboxes
Click on that and there should be a folder called recovered messages (server) . mbox
Click on that there a random numbered/lettered folder -> data
In that data folder is a list of random numbered folders (i.e a folder called 2, one called 9 etc) and in EACH of these, another numbered folder, and then a folder called messages.
In the messages folder delete all of the ebmx (I think that's what they were from memory, sorry I forgot as I already deleted my trash after my golden moment).
This was GOLDEN for me. Reason being, when I went to delete my "recovered file" in mail, it would give me an error message " cannot delete 2500 files". I knew it was only 1 file so this was weird. Why 2500 files? Because if you click on the ebmx files like I did, hey presto, it turned out that they were ALL THE SAME MESSAGE = 2500 times. In each of those folders in the random numbers, in their related message folder.
Now remember - DONT delete the folder, make sure you have gone to the message folder, found all those pesky ebmx files and deleted THOSE, not the folder.
It worked for me. No restarting or anything. And recovered file. GONE.
Started receiving and syncing mail again. Woohoo.
Best wishes.

How can i get out the reading list???

how can i get out the reading list?

This really needs to be posted in the Safari forum but I will answer it here.
What do you mean by get out? You want to see the list? Clicking on the pair of glasses controls the display of the list. The glasses are in the gray bookmark bar. Click once to open and click again to close the reading list.

How can I get rid of this message that keeps popping up: Widevine Media Optimizer Update Available? Don't know what it is but don't want it.

How can I get rid of this message that keeps popping up:
Widevine Media Optimizer Update Available? Don’t know what it is but don’t want it.

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

11.25 gb of "Other"...how can I get rid of this??

I have an 32GB iPhone 4s with 11.25GB of "Other." How can I get rid of this or at least decrease it. It seems a little ridiculous for that much space to be used. I downloaded PhoneClean which freed around 1GB but didn't touch the "other" folder. I've seen several places on various sites to restore my iPhone. My question to that would be, if I restore it, will I lose all of my texts? My contacts, calendar, etc are on the iCloud, so I'm not worried about those but I don't want to lose my texts. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much!!
K

First of all, thank you for the information. I'm glad to know my texts will remain. I wasn't sure if a backup only included photos, videos, etc. Sometimes "backups" don't include everything, so I wasn't sure if everything was included with an iphone backup.
Second, when I received your first response I thought you sounded rude but gave you the benefit of the doubt. It's hard to hear one's tone when reading. However, upon reading your second response, I confirmed that you are in fact a jerk. It always amazes me that it makes some people feel good to make others feel bad. Thanks for the warm welcome to the Apple forum by the way. I see you're from Atlanta...glad that southern charm is just shining through!
Third, I didn't ask your opinion on how to run my business but since you commented on it I'd like to reiterate that my comment said "inconvenient." I certainly don't conduct business via SMS. In my business there are just certain tidbits of conversations that are nice to have on hand when I'm out and about.
Again, thanks for the information. I hope this will solve my problem. Sorry to trouble you.

Had this happen to me after a recent update, was super annoying. To turn off, go to Settings > AirPlay > Conference Room Display > Off.

Ok....so I have found a work around....if not a complete solution.
I'm not sure if deleting your music, uninstalling ITunes and reinstalling and adding your music back will actually affect it but I tried it again. Started from scratch.
I checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos"
Then I moved my music to phone via drag and drop, usually just boxing a row of albums at a time.
I went back into my Iphone and began the sync. The message popped up, "1 Item could not be synced" and the sync stopped. At that point, I just clicked sync again and it started back up again. It took a few go's but eventually I got all my music on my phone.
Ironically enough, the only songs that wouldn't sync were songs that I had actually purchased from Itunes....kinda odd
