did you try to put it in DFU mode. You will know if you are in it because instead of a plug into itunes screen, you will just get a black screen http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034 If dfu doesn't work you can get out of it buy holding home and power. Take it to apple or geek squad if I'm no help.

My daughter was trying to update her itouch and somehow lost everything on it. She had a different ipod before this one, and I think we never registered this one, so it seems the computer restored her itouch to what was on her previos ipod. Any ideas?

My daughter was trying to update her itouch and somehow lost everything on it, but itunes seems to have restored it back to what was on an older ipod she used to have. I don't think we ever registered her itouch, and I know she didn't back it up to the computer. Any chance of getting her stuff back? She lost hundreds of pictures.

- You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- On the computer go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backup of her iPod.
Note that the backup does not included synced media like apps and music.
- Is she update the iPod via iTunes on other then the computer she syncs with the media on the iPod gets erased. Same for if on the syncing computer if the media was not in the iTunes library.

I AM TRYING TO UPDATE MY IPHONE4 AND WHEN I GO INTO THE SOFTWARE UPDATE IT WONT LOAD ANYTHING. IT JUST SAYS CHECKING FOR UPDATE

The update servers are still under pretty heavy load, so it's possible it's nothing on your end. Are you trying to do it over the air or through iTunes?

i contacted o2 and they said id have to pay to get it fixed after sending it away for ten days if their was a fault, when im still under warranty!! contacted apple who will get back to me!

I am assuming you updated to version 5.1.1, not 5.0.1 since no legitimate version of 5.0.1 is available.
Where is this iPhone from and what means did you use to unlock it?

HT4623 Hello, I was trying to update my phone and while doing so, the itunes icon and plug sign shows up. For the longest time the phone wasn't even turning off. I plugged it into my computer but the it asked me to restore to factor settings????

Hi there,
When I turn my phone on, it asks me to plug it into iTunes. I already tried that and then it prompts me to restore to factory settings.

Here.
Your iPhone is in Recovery Mode. You can try this to get it out of it:
Unplug the device from the USB cable if it's connected. Then hold down the sleep/wake button until it turns off. Let go of the button and then hold it down again until the Apple logo reappears. Let it go and the device may boot up.
This only works, of course, if your device was working properly previously. Otherwise, or if that doesn't get it back to normal operation, you'll need to to try to restore it:
