My Iphone froze while I was updating my OS

Hello,
My Iphone 3G froze while is was upgrading the OS installed on it. Even when i restart my phone the "Connected to Itunes" logo appears. I have even tried to hold home and sleep button for 10 seconds with no results.
I've also tried reinstalling Itunes, but the Iphone doesn't appear.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My 2g, and 3GS have crashed every time on updates on XP, vista, and win7. The restore usually doesn't work the first time or 2 until you've rebooted the computer once or twice. I even had to create a second user on the computer, load a separate itunes on it to get it to restore(with apple guy walking me through it) then switching to my normal user and backing up to the phone. Really wastes a ton of time.

It's not uncommon for it to not work the first time and sometimes, you have to try it a few times. Turn off your antivirus software and your firewall while you are trying to restore the iPad. Enable them again after you restore.
If that still won't work, post back with detailed information as to what exactly does happen as you go through the process.

When the restore finished, did you "Set up as new phone" or "Restore from backup?"
When was your last backup?

My computer restarted while I was updating my software from OS4 to OS5 and now my ipod is froze in a way that it shows the symbol that I should connect it to itunes. I connected it but itune is not recognising it. I have tried to reset but it nothing.

My computer restarted while I was updating software from OS4.1 to OS 5. Now my Ipod touch is just frozen. All it shows is the usb connection to itune symbol. Itune does not recognise. I have done the reset but nothing happens after the apple symbol shows up and back to usb and itune symbol. Help please.

See if placing the Ipod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so yu can restore the iPOd.. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Next try DFU Mode.

You can try putting the iPhone into DFU mode and see if that will let you restore and remove the jailbreak:
http://osxdaily.com/2010/06/24/iphone-dfu-mode-explained-and-how-to-enter-dfu-mo de-on-your-iphone/
Some jailbreaks cannot be removed and in some cases will permanently disable your iPhone. If that happens to you, then you will have to buy a new iPhone; Apple will provide no support, warranty or out-of-warranty, for a jailbroken iPhone.
You're on your own from here. We can provide no further help with a jailbroken iPhone in these forums.
Good luck.

My laptop macbook pro 2010 froze while i was installing its latest update what should i do ?

My laptop macbook pro 2010 froze while i was installing its latest update what should i do ?

Shutdown then restart if possible. If you do restart OK, then try the update again after doing this:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

IPhone 5 froze while uploading newest update (I believe ios 7.4?).

iPhone 5 froze while uploading newest update (I believe ios 7.4?). Plugged my phone into computer and clicked to update. I left the phone to upload for a couple hours and returned to see the black screen with white apple logo, and also see that thin upload bar, which seems to have gone across the phone -- looks like the upload should be finished. But the phone is frozen.
I can't turn the phone off at all. Tried holding on/off button down to turn the phone entirely off, but nothing happens. I tried unplugging from computer and replugging it back into the computer. Nothing happens.

No, that didn't help. I went over to the ATT store where I bought the phone. They showed me how to do a "soft restart". So now instead of seeing the apple logo on a black screen, I see the round blue logo with the music note in it, with a small font "iTunes" below that. And below that I see what looks like the electric cable that plugs into the iPhone.
The folks at ATT said that if I now plug it back into my computer itunes, it should reset my iPhone. So I just tried it. Nope. The computer makes the sound as if it's recognized the iPhone plug in, but absolutely nothing comes up on my computer screen.
They also made an appointment for me at the Apple store, but that's not until Tuesday.
Any other bright ideas out there?
Thanks.

Hello ,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
First, try to reset your iPhone:
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

I would not be concerned with you iPod being comprised.since that really can' be done on a non-jailbroken iPod. I suspect it was a popup associated with Reddit. Someone is trying to get you to do something via social engineering. Apple wold not allow you to "update" the Apple camera app.
I would go to Reddit support and see if it has been reported by other

Why would you do that when your phone is updating?
