I tried to update to ios7 and now my iPhone 5 wants me to plug into iTunes, but I don't have a computer. What do I do?

I tried to update my iPhone 5 to iOS7.2 and now it wants me to plug it into a computer. I do not have a computer, so I obviously can't plug it in. I don't know how to fix this.

If you have the 'connect to iTunes' screen then it will need to be connected to a computer's iTunes - do you know a friend or family member who has a computer with iTunes installed that they would let you use, or you could potentially go to an Apple Store and see if they can do it (though preferably make a Genius bar appointment, don't just turn up at a busy time)

You should be able to restore the iPhone, just connect it to the computer and open iTunes.
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed and take a look at this, if you run in to a problem.

I downloaded a software update on my iPhone. Now it's asking me to connect to iTunes, but I don't have my computer with iTunes to connect to and won't be able to for a few days. What can I do to use my phone now?

Hi,
Thank you for your reply, I did go to my general settings, but for some odd reason I don't have a restrictions setting, or a reset setting. I thought I could reset all the setting to see if it could be that, but as I said there aren't any.
My husband also has the iPad 2, and also did the software update and hasn't had any problems at all. I took both iPad's and compared the settings thinking maybe there could be a setting that could have been changed when the update was done.

Why do you need to sync your iPhone with iTunes - for what purpose?
You can transfer iTunes content and photos from one computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first with a warning message provided beforehand indicating this will occur.

Itunes crshed while updating iphone4 now it a blank screen that says plug into itunes but itunes doesnt recognize phone.

hello. im new at this. i was updating my girlfriends iphone on itunes to the newest software update when itunes suddenly crashed in the middle of the update. please help cause now her phone is useless. its locked up and only shows that the phone needs to be plugged into itunes

To use itunes to update your iphone you should first ensure you have the most recent iTunes version. Once this version is downloaded to your computer, you will then need to check to see that all anti-spyware programs are uninstalled from a Windows OS you may be using. If you are using a Windows OS that is likely why the itunes crashed (or missing an itunes update) Windows antispyware will stop the download of the necessary file to do the updates to your apple device.
Good luck.

After I updated my iPhone 5 it said i had to connect to iTunes but i don't have the computer that i last updated my phone on. I can't turn my phone on or anything. HELP!

I updated my iphone 5 today and when it finished it said to connect to itunes. But I have a new computer and have not synced my phone using the new computer yet. Now my phone won't even turn on. Any help would would be appreciated. Thanks

If it was showing the connect to iTunes screen it is in recovery mode and must be connect to a computer with iTunes. Recovery mode erases all content and settings so there is nothing wrong with using another computer. If you have a backup in iCloud use that to restore, or download the apps and songs you had on it.

Please let me know how to fix this issue

update...
I am not one to give up. So I called AT&T today. Now they are telling me they canceled my order because they were unable to fulfill my order. Basically, AT&T told me they sold out so they canceled my order so I can proceed to reorder again. It took them 4 days to realize this. I will be lucky if I get a new phone by Christmas. I am sure they will find a way to cancel my order again.
Again, I argued, how is this my fault. I placed my order at the store around 11 a.m. Pacific time. My friend ordered his phone online sometime after me. He got his but my order was canceled. AT&T tried to explain to me that they sold over 600,000 phones, almost 500 per minute during there peak. Again, I asked, how this was my fault.
I can understand over selling the phone. It is a great product. There is no reason to cancel my order. You adjust my order and tell me you will let me know when my phone will be in. I would have been mad that my phone was going to be late but I would have survived. At least I would be getting one.
At this point, I have no order and AT&T or Apple website will allow me to order one. I just want to get in the QUEUE for one.
Frustrated.

I backed up my iPhone 4s before updating to ios7. then I updated my iTunes. I updated to ios7 and now none of my previous apps or settings are on my phone!

I backed up my iPhone 4s before updating to ios7. then I updated my iTunes. I updated to ios7 and now none of my previous apps or settings are on my phone! I tried to restore from my backup this morning, and none of my backups from this whole year are listed in iTunes! Help Please! I'm so frustrated!!! I know i backed it up this morning, as well as 2 months ago because I saw the previous backups listed before I updated iTunes. Where are they now?

I went back to iOS 7 and my backup file is restoring but when its done nothing is on my phone still and only takes 11-15 minutes to restore the backup instead of taking 25+ minutes like usual so I guess the backup is corrupted. How can I fix this?

I have updated my iOS and now my hotmail will not verify my password through apple mail app. I have reset password - tried new password and old password and it still gives me password incorrect. Hotmail works fine on Mac. Has anyone had this difficulty

I have updated my iOS and now my hotmail will not verify my password through apple mail app. I have reset password - tried new password and old password and it still gives me password incorrect. Hotmail works fine on Mac. Has anyone had this difficulty and been able to resolve it?

Did you try deleting the mail account, then adding it back? I've read a lot of times that is what needs to happen in order for it to work properly.

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Yes, connect to your computer with the latest version of iTunes installed and restore it. If it doesn't show up in iTunes when you connect it see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

I updated to ios7 and now some of my apps have "disappeared." Ideas of how to restore them?

I updated to IOS7 and now some of my apps have "disappeared." Any ideas of how to restore them?

They most likely got pushed to another page. Try swiping all the way from righ to left.
Also folders have mutiple pages now (used to hold 16 now only 9 per page) too. If the app was in a folder, go to that folder and try swiping to a different page inside the folder.
If not check your restrictions:
Settings > General > Restrictions
Can you find it by searching (swipe down from the middle of the screen)?
If so does it say something on the right sid of the app in the search box, if so that is the folder it is in.

Updated to IOS7 and now camera and FaceTime don't work properly

I updated to IOS7 and now my camera only takes still shots, and no video. it also won't reverse shots. My FaceTime allows us to see the people we're calling, but they can't see us. any suggestions?

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.
