I'm trying to update my iPhone 4 to the new iOS6
I'm trying to update my iPhone 4 to the new iOS6, but it keeps telling me to restore to the factory settings. Should I do this or will I lose everything? Also, I turned my phone on and off and I cannot use it until I restore. HELP PLEASE!
If you have a back up of your phone, then theres no worries you can restore to it.
if you don't have a backup, then you'll lose everything. You'll have to restore to update.

I updated my iPhone to the new IOS6 and my awesome Google map app was replaced with the sucky, horrible, awful Apple map app. I want my Google navigator map app back!!!!!!
I agree. I liked the previous map app. The version 6 app is powered by tomtom, I think. No more street view. I don't care for the new overhead view when dropping a pin. Plus, the current map app doesn't have the local points or data base that the google maps app had. Too bad I can't go back to the old map app.

Restore from your backup. You do have a backup from prior to when you performed the update, right?

Disable any antivirus and firewall software installed on your computer. They can interfere with the update process.

I have tried to update my iPhone using the iTunes method but it will not work. The message "The iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later," appears. What do I do? The Internet is working fine.
Have you tried the following troubleshooting document?
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
If you end up using the If the iTunes Store opens successfully section of the document, and the "Automatically detect settings" checkbox is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it and clicking OK. -
When I tried to update my iPhone to the newest iOS, it wiped my phone clean! And now it won't activate it. Help!

Hello Richyfromnig,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The iTunes logo on the phone means that it is in what's called recovery mode. Take a look at this article to find out more about recovery mode, and how to fix it:

I've just updated my iPhone to the new iPhone OS and now it won't work and iTunes won't recognise that it's there. I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice and it's not working. Please help.
I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple. -

Hello the_generator2003,
It sounds like after having disconnected the iPhone physically during the update process, the phone appears to be stuck in recovery mode. If you have followed the onscreen image, and reconnected the device to your computer, then I would start by resetting the phone and trying again:
From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue is not resolved, then try putting the unit into recovery mode again with this article:

Delete the pairing and then re-pair the devices.
