Interrupted my iphone during the new update, now phone is messsed up.

I was trying to update my Iphone 4 to the ios7, I was getting impatient and interrupted the update. My phone was showing a usb port needding to be plugged into itunes, so i tried that and nothing worked. I am still getting that screen. I even tried calling Verizon and gave me no help except said that recieved many calls about this issue. I tried turning my phone off and noting is working, i need help.

You have to understand the difference between an Update and an Upgrade.
An Update is a free change within an existing Operating System. Such as the .8 added to 10.5.
An Upgrade is a complete new Operating System that must be purchased. Such as 10.5 Leopard to 10.6 Snow Leopard.
10.5 code was written to be able to run on both Power PC and Intel. 10.6 has completely rewritten code and only runs on Intel Macs.
You have to upgrade to 10.6.8 to be able to download iTunes 10.7. The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available at this time from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion is part of the 10.6.6 update.
If you wait to long and they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

Same thing happened here ~ tech guy at a local authorized Apple repair store said it had something to do with improper backup from which the restore would be made. Still have a phone that asks to be connected to Itunes but won't do anything else . . . frustrated.

ITunes will not open on my iPhone with the new update 10/18/13

iTunes will not open on my iPhone after the new update 10/18/13. It opens on my iPad that also has the new update; just not my iPhone.

OK, so what troubleshooting steps have you taken? Have you taken the ones recommended in the User Guide? Exactly what HAVE you done thus far to help solve your problem?

How do I reduce the number of emails to show on my iPhone with the new update?

I powered off my iphone during the software update, and now it keeps turning on and off, what to do?

I was in the middle of updating my Iphone 4 to the new IOS 6 software. It was about 3/4 done but I needed to use my phone to make a phonecall. To stop it from loading the software, I powered it off. Now it won't turn all the way on. It will show the apple loading then it will blank off, and keep repeating.
I dont know what to do, help!

Itunes not recognizing my iphone after the new update. Help!

Ok, so after my old dinosaur computer finally finished updating and restoring my iphone4 with the new software, everything seems ok with the exception of about 20 ringtones that didn't get restored over. So I go to replug in my phone and I get an error message saying "This iphone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service has not been started."
WHAT???? I just updated the stupid phone for hours and now it does this? So now it's not even being recognized in my itunes window. Anyone???

Envision99 is nearly correct.
First thing to try is to re-install iTunes (download it HERE and run the installer) - but, there's no need to uninstall it first. If that does not correct the problem, you may need to remove and reinstall AMDS, as described in this linked kbase article.

Just downloaded new update - now phone buzzes every 15-30 seconds!

Just did the new download and ever since the phone rebooted. It is vibrating every 15-30 seconds and doing this faint tone sound. I have check the sounds and have turned the phone off and then on again. Any ideas as to what is going on and how to stop it would be greatly appreciated!

1. Throwing it out the window might actually fix the buzzing if your throw it HARD enough
2. You posted 30 minutes ago. This forum is compirsed of volunteers, not paid RIM staff. We help lots of people... thousands. It's rude to double post your questions, and it's rude to "bump" your post in less than 24 hours. Be patient.
3. If you want LIVE help, do as the Sith above has recommended. I doubt anyone around here is going to call you and chat it up with you.
4. Try this for now on your device: With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.

I'm trying to update my iPhone with the new update. Using Macbook Pro, Lion software. It keeps saying "connection error timed out". What's my problem?

Trying to get the update. Appreciate assistance!

Disable any antivirus and firewall software installed on your computer. They can interfere with the update process.

How do I get my apps back on my iphone after the new update.

I can't get my apps from Itunes back on my phone. How do I get them back?

No I do not have multiple pages. There are only two pages, and the second one only has two icons on it. My apps are only in the store, and I want them on the home screen.

Installed new update, now Itunes won't open

I installed the new update, now when I try to open itunes it just stays on the bottom. The arrow is under it like it's open, but the window doesn't come up. Also, it won't even force quit, to get it to turn off I have to reboot.
Jason

Jason, I just downloaded the latest update as well and sure enough, iTunes crashes during start-up every single time - the good ol' rainbow pinwheel keeps going and I can't force quit either. I will probably try to delete preferences or something. If you find a fix or if anyone else knows of a fix, I would very much appreciate it. By the way, I am running iTunes on a 15" MBPro and running the latest OS update. Wondering what computer you are running it on. Good luck. I will post back if I figure out a fix.

I've just updated my iPhone to the new iPhone OS and now it won't work and iTunes won't recognise that it's there. I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice and it's not working. Please help.

I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.
