I tried to update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1.1 and it wanted to delete all of my media. So i quickly unplugged it from my laptop so it wouldn't delete anything. Now any time i try to use it, it wont let me of course i dont want to delete my media. HELP!

Please help! I don't want to delete my media, but i want to use my phone! Is there a way? Every time i turn it on a picture shows the iPhone cord being plugged into the iTunes symbol. (Meaning that it wants me to plug it back in).

if its telling you to plug into itunes then you have to restore it that way. do you back your phone up using itunes or i cloud. if you have a back up you are good to go. To check if you have a back up
Windows> Go into itunes under EDIT>Preference>Devices and your back ups will be listed there
Mac> go to itunes under Itunes>Preference>Devices and your back up will be listed there

I tried to update my iphone to ios 7.2.1 and now my phone is frozen what do i do!?

HELP

Reset the iPhone.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If you can unlock your iPhone now, tap Settings > General > About then scroll to: Version
If it still says the 7.1.1, then the update was not applied.
Use Recovery Mode. You can restore from a backup > iOS: Unable to update or restore

Why can't you update?
There should be nothing preventing the update from 6.1.3 or 6.1.2 or even from 5 directly to 7.
What happens when you try to update?
Have you tried to Update through a computer running the most up top date version of iTunes?
Tell us a little more about what is happening and we may be able to provide more specific answers.

sync your phone to itunes, then it should say update available. I suggest doing a backup of your phone first prior to updating your phone.

There are a number of threads from other people reporting the same iTunes connection issue - it looks like there might be a problem at Apple's end

I updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.5 and I lost my messages and camera app and other apps i downloaded from app store. I was having the problem of losing apps since before I updated to the latest IOS. What should i do?

I updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.5 and I lost my messages and camera app and other apps i downloaded from app store. I was having the problem of losing apps since before I updated to the latest IOS. I have tried enable and disable restriction, connecting my phone to my laptop and sync from my computer and none of them is working. What should i do?

Often when this type of thing occurs with missing default apps it is due to a situation where you are unable to 'see' the apps. If you will go to your front display of your device go to settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen layout.
This reset allows for your apps that have for whatever reason been hidden in such an area as you arn't able to find them now to be returned to the area as which they were when you first had the device.
As far as the missing Apps that were purchased through the Apps Store if you will go to settings>itunes and Apps store and click where it reads about automatcally downloading apps clicking on the toggle switch AND clicking on the toggle switch which allows for cellular data to be enabled this then will effectively automatically download all apps to your device that was purchased from the App Store.
Good luck friend.

I'm trying to update my iPad to iOS 8.1.2 and it won't update?

I'm trying to update my iPad to iOS 8.1.2 and it won't update?

Is it perhaps downloading the update?
Have you tried rebooting the iPad? Hold down the home and power/sleep buttons for 10 to 15 seconds or until the Apple logo appears. This should reboot the iPad. Then try the update again.
If all else fails, you can try to update through iTunes on a computer.

No. Anything that was created after your last backup will be gone.
Use iCloud to automatically backup your device, usually once every 24 hours.

So what happened to the phone during the process? It should have gone black and restarted a couple of times and there would have been a white progress bar as the update installed. Sounds to me like you've downloaded the update file but not actually installed it. The quickest way to see version of the software is installed is to go to Settings-General-About and check Version.
