I've tried everything when trying to update my IPhone 4 on my PC! My computer is up to date on iTunes. WHAT DO I DO??

Is there anyway you can get out of it?

If you have tried "everything" there is really nothing more to try.
Give up.

I tried to update my iphone 4 it had an error and now wants to connect to itunes

When I connect it to itunes it no longer finds my phone.

OK, here is Apple's KB article about that error: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1604
To supplement it:
Reboot your computer
Launch iTunes
disable your firewall and antivirus
Connect to a USB port on the computer, not a hub
Dlsconnect all other USB devices except mouse and keyboard
Then follow Apple's instructions. Good luck!
If it still fails, and you are on Windows, here is a long shot:
Open a command window and type:
netsh winsock reset
Then try again. (There was a Windows update 3 weeks ago that corrupted winsock data).

Plug it in to iTunes on your computer (at least iTunes version 10.7; preferably 11.0.1).
Sync your iPhone, then do "Check for Updates" on the right side of the iTunes display.

Fehlermeldung 3014 beim Update auf IOS 7 von Iphone - error message 3014 when trying to update my iPhone to IOS 7

First in German:
Ich hab heute versucht mein Iphone 5 auf das IOS 7 zu installieren - böser Fehler, ich hab jetzt immer und immer wieder die Fehlermeldung 3014 gekriegt (einmal die 21, aber das war beim 3. Versuch, seitdem nur 3014). Mein Iphone befindet sich jetzt im Wartungszustand und kommt nicht mehr raus...
Ich hab auch schon so ziemlich alle Vorschläge auf der Seite, zu der mich die Fehlermeldung führt ausprobiert, ausser das mit dem Router - weil sich dessen Firewall nicht ausschalten lässt (ist ein W723V Typ A von der Telekom) und weil ich nicht weiß, wie ich da irgendwas mit dem Server gs.apple.com konfigurieren kann - das bietet die Benutzereinstellung von dem Teil nicht an - und ich hab auch die Firewall von meinen Norton 360 nur ausgeschaltet und nicht deinstalliert, da ich nicht weiß, ob ich den nochmal installiert kriege - ach ja - und einen anderen PC hab ich nicht ausprobiert, weil ich um 23:50 Uhr Nachts nicht bei anderen Leuten einfallen kann...
Hat jemand einen Tipp, wie ich das beheben kann, bzw. wie ich rausfinde, ob es jetzt am Router, am Norton oder am PC liegt? Alle Software ist übrigens aktualisiert - was noch nicht aktualsiert hab, hab ich ausgeschaltet - aber nichts hilft!
Alles andere bei Itunes funktioniert super - also ich kann Musik kaufen und abspielen - im iTunes - IPhone geht ja grad net...
Danke!
Now in English:
I have tried to update my Iphone 5 to IOS 7 today - grave mistake, now I keep getting error message 3014 (once I got 21, but that was on try 3 - and since then I keep only getting 3014). My iPhone is now in "support mode"? - sorry, I don't know what "Wartungszustand" is in Englisch - however, the iphone is not usable anymore and when I connect it to iTunes it tells me that it detected that the iPhone is in "Wartungszustand" and I need to restore it to the settings with which I bought it - which is not working because it keeps giving me the 3014 error message.
I have tried everything that the website the error message sent me to has listed - except for the following:
- the stuff with the internet router, because in the settings it is not possible to switch of the firewall, and I have no clue how to tell it to allow access to gs.apple.com - there is no option where I can put in an address like that!
- deinstalling my Norton 360 firewall - I have switched it off, but I am not willing to deinstall it, because I have no clue if I get it up and running again - and how...
- using another person's computer - because it is midnight and I can not run down the only person's door, who I know has an iPhone at this time of the night...
Does anyone have an idea how I can find out which programm is causing the trouble? Or if it is really only related to the "Wartungszustand"? - All software is up to date - that which wasn't I already updated earlier this evening.
Oh - and itunes works fine otherwise (downloading and playing freshly bought music...)
Thanks,
Lörchen

Ja... auf alle mögliche Art und Weise... auch mit Hilfe vom Telefon-Support...
Am Ende hat jetzt doch nur geholfen, dass mir meine Kollegin ihr MacBook geliehen hat - darauf konnte ich mein iPhone wiederherstellen - das seltsame ist nur .- ich hab dann auch gleich mein iPad auf iOS 7 akutalisiert (wo ich den Hilfsrechner schonmal da hab *ggg*) - hab's aber erst mit meinem Windows Vista probiert - DA hat es einwandfrei funktioniert... vielleicht war das Update für's iPad (immerhin knapp 20 MB weniger) grad noch klein genug für meine alte, lahme Windows-Gurke? Oder das MacBook nebendran hat es eingeschüchtert?
Keine Ahnung! Werde mir demnächst ein Apple-PC kaufen - das war eh geplant...
Trotzdem Danke an alle, die mir helfen wollten!

When I tried to update my iPhone 5s to iOS 8.1, I was forced to choose to restore or back up. Back up wasn't working so I had no choice but to restore. I lost pictures over the last two years. Cloud and iTunes backup are not working for me. Help!

How can I retrieve photos when it says my cloud and iTunes backups are empty or not backed up?
When I tried to update my iPhone 5s to iOS 8.1, I was forced to choose to restore or back up. Back up wasn't working so I had no choice but to restore. I lost pictures over the last two years. When I tried my cloud, there was nothing. I would get notifications that my cloud was full, but I thought there would at least be some photos in there. When I tried to restore a back up, it said the last time was two years ago. I thought when you're on wifi, it automatically backs up. I've charged my iPhone into my Macbook a bunch of times, so something should have backed up. Is there any hope for my photos?

Sorry no backup - no pictures.
Yes phone will automatically backup to icloud when on wifi and phone is charge, but your phone storage was full so it stop backing up.

Trying to update my iPhone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.1 via iTunes.When I click the "Update" button, I just get a message saying the iTunes is at the current version (6.1), but no action re the iOS update.

I'm trying to update my iPhone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.1. When I try to do this using iTunes on my MacBook Pro (OS X v 10.5.8), with my iPhone in its cradle, clicking the "Update" button in Tunes gets a message saying "This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version." I can't get the iOS update to download.
When I try to update to the iPhone directly, I get a message saying "iOS 6.0.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the Internet" at the Verifying Update step. I noticed that this message refers to iOS 6.0.1, even though I want to update to 6.1. It is possible that, a few weeks ago, I may have downloaded but not installed v 6.0.1.
Thanks for any help with this problem

I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
Thanks very much for your feedback.

I been trying for a few times now and I keep getting the same message. How can i fix it? now my phone doesnt work.

These are the steps mentioned in the article iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.

HT1688 I tried to update my iPhone 5 this morning with the new software update and now it won't turn on. When I plug into my itunes account, it says my phone is in recovery mode. Was working perfectly prior to the attempt to update. How do I fix this?

I tried to update my iPhone 5 this morning with the new software update. Now my phone won't turn on. When I plug into iTunes, it says that my phone is in recovery mode and that it needs to be restored to factory settings. Is there a way to fix this without losing my settings? Why would this happen on a software update?

That is not what it says. Read the message again. It's telling you it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and it must be restored.
Restore it. You don't have a choice at this point.
