IPhone crashed during iOS5 update

I was updating to iOS5 and after extracting and downloading it told me it failed to backup and now I can no longer turn my phone on. I get the screen telling me to connect to iTunes, but in iTunes the only option I have is restore which according to iTunes will delete all the data on my phone. Am I just SOL or is there any way around this debacle?

I am too trying to update my phone. i wish i hadnt now as its more hassle than its worth!
I have been trying for 2 hours and on hold to Apple to try and get my iPhone 4 to restore. I did back up before I installed it but whether it picks that one up is another question.
I have had the same problem before when i got a replacement phone from Apple and it took an hour or so to work.
I wish it would get sorted out as im an angry customer that is losing her patience fast!

  • Iphone crash during software update.....now won't connect

    Hey everyone,
    I was trying to update the software on my 3gs, but during the update itunes stopped recognizing my iphone and now the phone is giving me the connect to itunes screen because it needs to be restored. Now, the problem is that when I try to connect the phone to my pc it tells me that it's in recovery mode and it needs to be restored, however, when I click retore it gets stuck on the "preparing iphone for restore sceen" and sometimes it stops and gives me the 0xE0000065 error message. So I tried to open ports 88 and 443 and try again, but the same thing keeps happening. If anybody has any suggestions, PLEASE let me know, thanks.

    Now Software Update seems to work. Are these warnings serious?

  • Preserving iPhone apps during iOS5 update

    I want to get iOS5 for my iPhone 4. When I use iTunes to update , I get the following message:
    Updating to iOS 5.0 will delete all of the apps on your iPhone. To preserve your apps, apply this update on the computer where you sync them.
    How do I apply the update to the computet?

    I transfered the purchases to iTunes and backed up my wife's iPhone 4, did the iOS 5 update, restored from the backup, and everything went smoothly.
    I followed the same procedure with my iPhone 3Gs and lost ALL saved data of value.  It appears the various techniques to roll back to iOS 4 don't work, and the restore isn't working with moving the 3Gs data to my new iPhone 4s.
    So at my location, we had a 50% failure rate with the update.  The new features for an iPhone 4 are essentially fluff, so I won't risk your data if you have something you want to save until the next service release of iOS 5.  If you don't care about any special app data, photos, videos, messages, etc and have the time to re-sort everything back into folders, then go for it.

    Try to force your phone into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the computer's USB cord. Turn it off if you can by holding the sleep/wake switch until you see the red slide to off. If you can't turn it off, please continue. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 for details.
    Then you can restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • IPhone 4 crashed during app update, apps are blank

    I had 24 app updates in the app store, tried to update through the phone. It crashed during the update, and now all the to-be-updated apps are showing up with a white generic logo and 'waiting...' message, updates do not go through. The app store still shows 24 updates, but when I go into that page it just spins. I have rebooted twice. I will not be close to my phone backup until tomorrow. Any ideas are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

  • I updated my ipod and my computer crashed during the update now the apps that come with the ipod such as the app store and itunes are not on my ipod how do i fix this

    Connect your iPod to any computer with iTunes installed, highlight your device and try syncing the apps only. If it doesn't work might have to restore through iTunes. With the new iTunes and iCloud beta, you can have the iTunes list what apps are missing on your device but if you had previously purchased in the past and then have iTunes install them. You should always get in the habit of backing up your iPhone whenever you do any firmware/OS updating/upgrading or transferring over to new device. I really really really really hope you can get back at least some of your old info. I will tell you this, I have been kicking myself in the butt for not routinely backing up my iPhone when my beautiful special iPhone 4 came up missing and had to revert back to my 3GS. iPhone 5 will be released in a few months so I am holding off on purchasing a new iPhone til then, not that I did so without reservation and a little bit of iPhone 4 withdraw.

  • Iphone 3gs with ios5 update. bluetooth connection with car problem.

    I updated my iphone 3GS to IOS5. After the update, the bluetooth (handsfree) connection to my car (Lexus RX350) does not work anymore. I can connect  any other cell phone bluetooth to my car. Only iphone after the IOS5 update is failing. Any suggestions (I reset many times)?

    Some people havent had one problem when updating to iOS4, others have been over run with problems. I myself have lost virtually all sound from my loud speaker so calls, txt messages and ipod are virtually unheard now..
    Went to my local Genius bar in Liverpool today, complete waste of time, the guy restored it like I hadnt already done that a 100 times, then said oh yeah it is qeit not heard of that one before, to get a new one will cost you £139!!
    Yeah right mate, not payin that as its not my fault! did ask him if he ever looks on the Apple forum about faults people are having, and I got a blank look. Told him a thread with tens of thousands people all having the same problem with low sound from the speakers and calls being ended in mid conversation since updating to OS4 seems a bit strange then... another blank look!
    Ive lost all faith with apple as a company now and will not be upgrading to a iPhone 4 anytime soon or any apple product, no one seems interested in helping but quick enough to take your money, thats my opinion anyway..

    i am boycotting apple after i fix this issue. they are a terrible company.

  • Computer crashed during software update

    Currently using OS X Lion, started the latest software update and computer crashed during the update. I forced the computer to turn off, but when I turn it on, it returns to the same "crashed" condition (grey screen with an apple logo in the center, plus the time symbol spinning).
    Greatly appreciate if anyone can help me. Thanks!

    Back up all data, then boot from your recovery partition (command-R at startup) and reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • IPhone crashes during backup before 1.1.2 update installation

    My iPhone is crashing during the beginning of the backup phase before installing v1.1.2. It will freeze up my phone, disconnect from iTunes, & eventually restart again.
    I have it plugged into a USB 2.0 port and there are no bent pins. I have Bluetooth and WiFi OFF. I closed all other open applications on my computer including iPhoto. I am currently running MAC OS X 10.4.11 and using the newest version of iTunes (v7.5).
    What are my other options do I have to resolve this issue?

    My iPhone does the same thing.
    By comparison, my iPod has no trouble with syncing contacts,
    photos, etc. but when attempting to update the iPhone,
    it starts the backup phase as seen in the iTunes window,
    the iPhone screen is dark. Then suddenly, the phone will beep,
    its screen flashes, and we get a gray apple on the iPhone screen.
    I have tried eliminating the dock. Tried two separate USB cables,
    and tried the update from two different computers. Always the same result.
    I have not tried to restore the iPhone, as I do not want to lose
    all the phone call information. It seems to be working ok at the 1.1.1
    SW level.

    Restore from Backup in iTunes would recover them.

  • Photo issue on iPhone 4 after iOS5 update

    Since i have updated my White iPhone 4 to iOS5 some of my apps pictures dont appear just the text underneath them. I thought nothing of this at first as after a while they do appear but then others will dissapear!
    I tried to use the camera and i can take pictures but if i try to load the camera roll from either the camera app or photos app it will not allow me to view them. In the camera app the photos are also black.
    Any assistance would be much appreciated!
    Thanks
    Steve

    I´ve got the exact same problem as well. Via photo stream I can get my pictures to my computer and my iPad and they look fine. And in the iPhone they look ok if I choose "Edit", but the previews are low res or just grey boxes, or duplicates of other images.
    Via photo stream I can copy the images to my computer to save them. But since movies don´t go into photo stream, and I cant see anything on my Iphone via iPhoto or "Image capture" they will be lost if Apple doesn´t solve this problem (I´ve succeded to e-mail them to me, but then they are compressed and lores).
    This happened to me a couple of days after I updated to iOS5, so it worked just fine for a couple of days before this problem appeared.
    I really hope Apple will address this issue very soon, since I (and many with me) use my iPhone as my only camera.
    I´ve got an iPhone 4 (my wifes iPhone 3GS has not yet shown any signs of this problem).
