HT4623 I can't turn on my new iphone after updating ios as recommended.

I can't turn on my new iphone after updating ios as recommended. I can't access apple support and chat b/c I can't access my serial number as I can't get on my phone. I can't call them for the same **** reason. Holding down the on button(s) as per google does not work. Itunes says my phone is in "recovery" and needs to be "restored". I don't know what this means. Very frustrated. Please help. I need my stupid phone. On the verge of beginning to hate apple...

It's hard to tell what went wrong.  Some possibilities:
1.  Your iPhone did not have enough free space.  Once it works, check Settings > General > Usage
2.  There was an issue with your internet connection so the update did not download properly.
3.  One of the many update steps got interrupted somehow

    You must have had find my iPhone on, or it was locked by your phone carrier.
    Call your our cell carrier first.
    then log on to a computer to iCloud to erase your iPhone.  
    NOW... You will be able to setup with a backup.

  • For those of you who had to get a new iPhone after update bricked you...

    Can you explain what is involved in the process of setting up your new phone? Is it like a SIM card transfer, or is it a setup through iTunes like you have to do originally? My setup process was much more complicated than most (long story involving business plan) so I am reluctant to get the 2.0.x update because the guy who set up my phone for me seemed to be the only one in the world who could do it.
    Thanks.

    I have gotten a new iPhone because the previous one didn't want to restore. The Genius simply transfered my SIM card to the new iPhone and I was on my way. At home, I connected my new iPhone to iTunes and restored it from the last backup (even though I should have started from scratch). It worked perfectly, all apps, music, video, contacts, email, ringtones, etc. have been transfered to the ne iPhone and I've been using it without any problems.

  • Can't sync certain playlists to iPhone after restore (iOS 5 & iCloud)

    I had to have my iPhone 4 replaced due to a faulty home button. Upon receiving my new phone, I restored everything from an iCloud back up. Everything went smoothly with no problems. I went to play some music on my phone yesterday and all my my playlists were there like they were on the old phone. However there were no songs on them, let alone in my library at all (on the phone). I thought it was no big deal, and that I would just connect to iTunes and resync everything.
    After I plugged the phone in and selected for only my specific playlists to sync to it, it synced and only added a few random songs (under 20) to the iPhone. I unplugged it and my playlists no longer showed up.
    Now when I plug the phone in, only certain playlists show up as available to be synced with the phone. They are the ones that I do not want to sync, and they are all of the playlists that were not on my phone before. The ones that were on my phone before and the ones I want back on it do not show up at all to be synced. I tried dragging the playlists from the left window pane in iTunes to the phone and that did not work either.
    Why is this happening? How can I fix it? Thanks!

    Well I now know why the playlists won't sync to the phone, there are no songs in them anymore on iTunes... How can I restore the playlists in iTunes to how they were before?

  • When I turn on my new iPhone 5s, I have to select a language and county and then my only options are to restore backup from iTunes or restore from iCloud.  I have already restored form iTunes, so what am I doing wrong?

    When I try to turn on my new iPhone 5s, the ONLY options it gives me is to either backup from the iCloud or restore backup from iTunes.  I have already restored the backup from iTunes, so I don't know why it keeps telling me to restore the backup.  And why won't it give me any other options?  I can't text, call, etc.  My phone will do NOTHING. 
    Any suggestions?

    It seems you restored from a blank back up if it is still asking you to choose one of those options. Set it up as new then manually restore from back up with iTunes on your computer and be sure to check the date of the back up an which phone the back up is from.

    Do you mean restore the backup to the broken phone? I suppose you could, as well as restoring to a new device, if you have made a backup.

    No, but you do not need iTunes to setup a new iPhone 5s. Create an iCloud backup for anything you want to transfer to the new iPhone.
