I have now discovered that i cannot update or restore any of my devices

Were those items purchased or downloaded under a different apple ID than what you are logged into on the phone?

I'm scared to restore to original settings as I don't want to lose everything, apps, contacts, etc. Help! Is there a way to get it all back if I do restore?? Can I my stuff back through iCloud??

Bad news first and we hope for good news as well
The device is in Recovery Mode and the data has already been deleted, you need to restore the device with iTunes in order to get the iPhone back into a working state
When the iPhone is restored you can then restore it from your latest backup using iTunes or iCloud and regain some, if not all, of your data.
The good news part only happens if you had a backup.

I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps. I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps. I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

Hi julia151,
I would first use this article to make sure any extra Apple IDs were not accidentally created when signing up for one of Apple's services:

If you can't locate one, try using this article to delete and redownload your app:

i had the same problem but i just got a new video converter and made it convert videos to ipod/iphone format and then put them into itunes. i would suggest GOM encoder as the encoder can convert them and then once they're finished converting, put them automatically into your itunes for you. from there you can just sync them to your ipod.

I am trying to sync my iphone 5 and i get this error "Cannot sync Error (-50)" How do I fix this?

I connect my iPhone 5S to my iMac and try to sync with my iTunes and iPhoto but I get this in response "Cannot Sync Error -50" Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Did you try another USB cable to rule out a hardware problem?

TS3354 i purchased a film on my iphone and am trying to watch it on my laptop, i keep getting a message that says "you must authorise this computer before you can watch this film", what do i need to do

I purchased a film on my Iphone and I am wanting to watch it on my laptop, but i keep getting a message saying "before you can watch previously purchased items you need to authorise your computer" how do I do this

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

You are talking about the menu bar of Itunes, right?
Yes. With iTunes open the menu bar is at the top of your screen.
where exactly is the Store/synck you iphone option?
After you authorize the computer connect your iPhone then follow the instructions here > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
When you are done transferring the data to the desktop, right or control click the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click Back Up.
That way you will have a backup just in case you need to restore your iPhone.
