My iphone 3g does not work after updating the software through itunes

Some days ago I made a security copy of my iPhone 3G at iTunes. Today when I conected my iPhone to iTunes I had a message saying I had to update the software of my phone. I accepted and after around 30 minutes of update I got another message saying there had been a problem restarting my phone. The screen of my mobile was showing the iTunes icone and the USB icone and I can't access to the content of it. So I disconnected the mobile from iTunes and connected it again and I got another message saying iTunes has detected a mobile phone in recovering process and it says I have to restaure the iPhone to be able to use it in iTunes. And, by the way, before all this when I connected my phone to iTunes the iTunes recognized the name of my mobile. It doesn't anymore, it just says "iPhone" on the left column.
My question is: Should I restaure the iPhone? Will I be able to recover the security copy I made some days ago? Where can I access that copy?
Thank you so much in advance!

You're welcome.

When restoring the iPhone with iTunes, the iPhone is completely erased first folllowed by the current iOS version being re-installed. After iOS is reinstalled, you are prompted to restore from your iPhone's backup, which is the default selection. The other available selection is to restore as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

    Please help me out fast

    Restore your iPhone thoroughly. And restore it from backup.
    If not working,
    Take it to Apple store. They might replace the piece you have.

  • IPhone 4 does not work after update

    Hello!
    My sister who lives in Germany found her old iPhone 4 32GB after about 2 years and because my phone broke down, she gave it to me. First, there was a small problem with the battery, but after 2 days on charger, everything was fine. I decided to restore and update it, because the iOS was probably 7.0.4 or even lower. After the update to 7.1.2, my phone wanted me to choose country and language (i live in the Czech Republic) and after that, connect it to iTunes.
    The problem is that when I connect it, iTunes writes "There is a problem with your iPhone"
    and thats it. I have already tried "everything". My friend tried to jailbreak it but it didnt work. There was no jailbreak before the update and it should not be blocked.
    Here, this man has the same issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr1jqkz-Hco
    I would be grateful if anyone could help me!

  • Anyone else's iPhone 4s speaker not working after update to iOS 6.1?

    My speaker does not work after updating the software to iOS 6.1. No sound for incoming calls or texts, no speakerphone, no siri, no music or any sounds played from apps. Headphones still work as does anything plugged into the headphone jack. I've check all my settings - everything is correct. I've rebooted and restored settings several times, I've docked it - nothing works.
    Anyone else having this problem? Did anyone have this problem and were able to fix it? Does anyone know if Apple is aware and will be sending another update to fix it? I really don't think it's a hardware problem. Phone is in immaculate condition and never dropped or spilled on.

    As stated...
    Sorry... But...

  • HT1688 My Hot Spot does not work after update to 6.0.1.  Service is with ATT.  Apple says problem is with ATT, ATT says problem is with Apple.  Anyone else having this problem?

    My Hot Spot does not work after update to 6.0.1.  Any suggestions?

    Ok, I had the same issue, my phone is unlocked(iphone 5 with 6.1.3). So I went to the apple store and had it replaced. it worked good for a day and started doing the same thing. When the apple tech replaced my phone, he transfered my screen protector to the new one.
    so I thought it was my sim card, I put in my sisters sim card from a different carrier and it did the same, so then I was like let me take off the screen protector, and that was it.
    so guys, if you have a screen protector on your phone and it's doing "low signal", "No Service", "Searching", "Full bars cycle" then take off the screen protector. so far my phone is working normal.

  • Print size in Photoshop CC does not work after updating

    Print size in Photoshop CC does not work after updating, it was working fine before but now when I click to go to print size either from the menu of right chicking when the hand tool is selected, the image just zooms right out until it is a tiny little box in the centre of the screen, no good what so ever, as I say it was working fine before the update.
    I am using window 7 with 8 gb of ram and an I7 with a 1GB graphics card.
    Can anyone help please?
    thanks
    Fujibill

    Check the Image>Image Size and see what the print size is supposed to to be for the open document.
    Also, resetting the photoshop cc preferences might fix it.

  • Personal Hotspot does not work after update to 10.10.2

    Good morning!
    After my update to 10.10.2 on my MBP (15" mid 2010) my connection to the internet via personal hotspot (iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1.3) does not work.
    The MBP connect to the hotspot, but there is no connection to the internet. My iPad (Retina, iOS 8.1.3) works fine simultaniously with good bandwidth.
    Rebooting Mac, rebooting iPhone etc does not work.
    Anyone else has this problem?
    Any suggestions?

    Just saw same problem with a client's computer.
    MacBook Pro
    WAS 10.5.1.
    Installed 10.5.2, booted up. Fire up ichat, get your buddy list. Double click a name, says "Cannot Chat" in bold then says "Add at least one person to this chat before sending the first messsage." with an OK button.

    Thanks for your suggestion. I downloaded OnyX and ran the cleaning function. After restarting, I opened Help and once again the first screen appeared fine. But again most of the links did not work, though those under the "What's New" heading did work. I might add that I had previously tried a variety of suggestions posted in another thread, which included deleting from the caches folder in Home>Library several files such as com.apple.helpui and help.plist in the Preferences folder. (As noted in my previous post this evening, I also created another user but that also did not have any effect.) Any other ideas? Thanks

  • My iphone 3gs is not activating after updating my software with i tunes...what shall i do? cant i go back to my normal version which was ios 4.1

    my iphone 3gs which is not associated with this accunt is not activating after updating the sof tware, it connects to i tunes but i tunes says "we arh your unable to continue with your activation at this time, please try again later or contact customer care". my iphone aslo just says it cannot be activated or something like that every time i try. i have been waiting for 4 hours now but it still hasnt worked. how can i uninstal this update and go back to my old version which ws ios 4.1 or or ios 4,3. i dont even know what version it updated to, im assuming it is ios5 but not sure. it says try connecting to i tunes as well but it is connected and i tunes cant activate it either. my phone is connect to a wifi but it stll says no service.
    i will really appreciate some help.
    thanks.

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
