I need help updating iPhone 4 OS 5

Ugh! I've been trying to update my iPhone 4 for the last 5 hours! The first time I tried to do it I lost all my contacts but I still have them somewhere on my computer. Now I have a grey screen that says iPhone on it and when I unlock it, it goes to the set up screen asking if
1. "set up as new iPhone" - which I DONT want to do
2. "restore from iCloud back up" - which then prompts me to either choose set up as new iPhone or Restore from iTunes
3. "restore from iTunes" -which I tried but it goes to the screen with the USB cord with an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo.When it's plugged in it makes no difference. It says on my computer that it's working but no difference on the phone.
How do I fix this without losing everything???? Help!

after selecting restore from backup, you should see a screen asking you wich backup (on the computer)

HT1338 need help updating to snow leopard

need help updating to snow leopard

Hi Billy,
First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
then you must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

You will need the original owner of the iPhone to unlock it for you, or the iPhone will remain useless. It has been Activation Locked, which is described here:

HT4623 help update iphone 3 gs

i did update iphone 3gs, but didn't concluse because there isn't back up, but I did back up. Somebody help me please!! [email protected]

We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Your request Could Not Be Completed?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.
Apple has started to get "tough" with hacked iPhones, & simply won't permit their activation.

Need help updating OS 10.2.1

I need to update my system software to 10.2.8. I have dial-up which is extremely slow, so I thought I'd update in parts rather than using the combo update. I had no trouble getting from 10.2.0 to 10.2.1. I've downloaded the 10.2.2 update three times. It seems to be working fine until I open the update icon. It says "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code 1000)". I can't find anywhere what kind of error this is. I have an old imac. I didn't think that would matter since I'm already in 10.2.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi JEL,
first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
The 10.2.8 Combo Update is 97 MB, the sum of all interim updates is more than 136 MB. Furthermore I saw, that the 10.2.5 Update is not online anymore. Use a download utility such as SpeedDownload or iGetter to download the 10.2.8 Combo update. With these you can interrupt, pause and resume any download.
Also, do not forget to Repair permissions before and after an update!
