IPhone iOS 4 update was only half on my phone!

I have a bad problem : when I was installing the software update on my iPhone (3G S) my computer died and it interrupted the installation. And when I re-started my computer, it showed that my iPhone had the latest software update. And yet, I don't have the new mail, nor the zoom for my camera and the iBooks application, but I do have multi-tasking and folder organizing. I was told to call Apple Support but I thought I might aswell post something here. Any tips?
I did try restoring/resetting my phone, but it did nothing!

Generally that is a sign that the iPhone had previously been jailbroken
or hacked to work with other than the original wireless provider. The update
has relocked the iPhone to the original wireless provider. You must
contact them to see if they provide unlocking and if you qualify.
If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at
Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

If I did the IOS 8 update and didn't back my phone up before the update, does that mean all of my pictures are gone?

If I did the IOS 8 update and didn't back my phone up before the update, does that mean all of my pictures are gone? While I was doing the update it told me to plug my phone into iTunes. I did so and then it said my phone needed to be "restored" but it said I was going to get my pictures, messages, music and contacts back later on. Now being one day later I did not get any of that back.

If you don't have a backup then you can't get the data back.
It's not typical for an update to require a restore, but for a handful of people the update gets interrupted, and this happens.

Have I lost information on my iphone while an update was occurring?

Hi, I was trying to sync my iphone 3 onto iTunes but it wouldn't sync. A message popped up about how I needed to update my iphone first. I read somewhere in the support thread that if you do an update, you will not lose any pictures/music and contact info.
Since I initially tried syncing my iphone to my iTunes on my computer with no success, I proceeded to do an update, thinking that all I needed was an updated version before I am able to complete any syncing.
Soon after trying to update, a message came up saying that it was restoring my iPhone. I thought restoring my iPhone would wipe out all my valuable information so I ejected the phone immediately.
It looks like my iPhone is in a limbo state, all I see on the screen is a picture of the iTune logo and the UBS plug.
I'm very worry about losing my contacts/ music/ photos as I do not have any back up anywhere.
Can anybody tell me if I've already losts my information? Does anybody know what I can do to recovers possible lost data?
Any help is appreciated.!
Thanks

Thanks Roaminggnome,
I think while I was trying to sync my iPhone to my iTunes on my computer, instead of this happening, I think it was the other way around. (I was trying to sync as a backup).
While I was syncing, the 'hour glass' indicated 'syncing 1 of 1'. Now that I'm thinking about it, I just downloaded iTunes last week on my computer and there was only one song in it. So seeing 'syncing 1 or 1' is indicating that I might of wiped out my iphone by syncing incorrectly.
Can you tell me the steps to 'restore from backup'?
I tried looking for this on iTunes but couldn't find it.
I am so new to these Apple products.

TS1424 Purchased song was only half downloaded how do I re-download them?

Bought songs, three of them are only half of the song, even though iTunes is saying it was a successful download. How can I re-download them?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

HT1414 using Windows 7 OS, I had downloaded the new ioS 6 and started the update on the iPhone 4 and everything was going routine until the phone had been going thought what I though

I attempted to update my iPhone 4 from ioS 5 to ioS 6 from iTunes on my laptop using Windows 7 OS, I had downloaded the new ioS 6 and started the update on the iPhone 4 and everything seemed to be going routine until the phone had been going thought what I though was the update process, when an error window opened up and it said that an error had occured and the iPhone 4 could not be updated. I have never had a problem like this before and it caught me off guard and I did not note all the information in the error window, but it did not appear to indicate anything other than that I would have to abort the update and did not think it would be that big of a problem. I tried to disconnect the phone and was going to do the update at a different time when I could investigate what the problem was. However I could not get iTunes to recognize the iPhone 4 after this and still cannot. After rebooting the laptop a few times and also trying to reset the phone a few times as well, I just have a dead phone. The iPhone 4 just has the image of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon for iTunes. I have tried to get iTunes to recognize the iPhone, but cannot get it to. I am unable to do anything else with the phone. It seems like the phone is in a state where it does not have enough software loaded to do anything or I don’t know how to get it to. Any suggestions how I can get my iPhone 4 back into service. Note: iTunes still recognizes my iPad and iPods, so iTunes seems to be okay to me. Craig

I had this problem on my iPod Touch 4g. Just press the home and sleep button. Wait and it will give an iTunes and cable logo. Now you can put in DFU mode (Hold Sleep and Home button 10 seconds and then release the power button kand keep pressing on the home button.) Now you will be able to restore it in iTunes.
If you didn't sell it in al this time

Location services not working after iOS 6 update (WiFi only)

After updating my iPad (3 & WiFi only) to iOS 6 the location services no longer work. This stops some apps from working. It was fine before the update. Does anyone have a fix for this yet? I know others have been having the same problem.

Before IOS 4 iPad and iPhone used Google and Skyhook databases for position info. In April Apple switched to using it's own in house database for location services. In the past one could register the MAC address and position of a router or access point with Skyhook and within 2 to 3 weeks any device with location services could find itself. Now with Apple handling it's own position database and no way to register an access point or router it is hit or miss as to whether an iPad or iPhone can find itself using WIFI only. If you live in a rural area you are less likely to have location services work. Hopefully Apple will emulate Skyhook in future by allowing users to register their access points or router's location in their data base. Until then those of us in rural areas are out of luck. Cheers

IPad memory shows it's full - it was only half full when I last connected to iTunes

Since I bought my iPad 3 (64 GB) and connected it to iTunes, the memory used has, until today, been about half full. Today, when i connected the iPad to update the iOS software, it shows, suddenly, that I have less than 0.1 GB left, yet I've downloaded very little in the last week since it was last connected, and certainly no more than I usually do in any week. Any suggestions?

I suspect that your storage capacity is being taken up by "other". You can verify this by looking at the capacity bar in iTunes when your iPad is connected to your computer. "other" is basically all non media content like app data and documents, Safari History and bookmarks, Notes, Calendar entries, text messages, email messages, contacts and so on.
If the "other" is taking up a huge amount of space, something is corrupt on your iPad. Restoring the iPad may be necessary to make this right. Sometimes the only cure is to restore to factory settings and then rebuild your iPad by adding the content back onto it - not be restoring from a backup. Sometimes restoring from a backup can help this situation as well. You may have to experiment and see what works.
You can read this as well and see if recalibrating how the storage is calculated helps.

Try the tips in the articles first, restore from a backup if that doesn't work, and restore to factory settings if nothing else does the trick.

"Error creating ds account: null" after iphone ios 5 update when attempting sign in with Apple ID..any ideas?

I have just updated my iPhone software to ios 5, it all seemed to go very smoothly until I was asked for my Apple ID.
I clearly have a working ID as I'm signed into this very website so it isn't a problem with that - but when I've attempted sign-in it has come up with "Error creating ds account: null"
I was going to skip this step but it pops up again saying that you need it for iTunes and I wasn't sure if I could sign into my ID at a later time or not, so I'm stuck on the Apple ID page!
Has anyone else had this issue or a solution?
Thank you!

I've managed to sort it out now - I think my problem was to do with the Internet, as my connection wasn't working when I first tried to sign into apple ID. I did a step back and re-selected my Internet router, and it then seemed to work! Give this a go because it worked for me!

Help, iphone iOs 5 update went wrong!

So I finally updated my iphone to iOS 5. Afte update I restored from backup so I kept my files: photos, textmsg etc..
However the system in my phone didn't fuction the way it should have. Like safari wouldn't open. And other bugs. So I decided to re-do the upgrade. So I restored the phone again, from the same backup. However, after restoring from backup my files, and especcily my photos were gone. And right after I found out that, did itunes take another backup from my blank phone. I couldnt find my old backup file, not in itunes, and not in the appdata/rooaming/ apple computer etc. folder either. I lost about 1000 photos, how to recover my old backup file? Dose apple have it? Is there anyway I can get my pictures back? Its like 5 months of memories and photos Please help! I'm on vista.

I have the same problem!!! Been trying to restore for 15 hours on and off...no luck!! I am getting really frustrated
