Does iTunes see your phone?
Do you have a PC or a Mac?

Have you tried resetting your iPad? You may have to restore again if there was a problem.
Try the reset first.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

While updating software on my iPod touch 4 my computerswitched itself off and now iTunes is asking me to restore to original settings but there are photos on my iPod that have not been backed up. Am I going to lose them?

While updating software on my iPod touch my computer switched itself off and now iTunes is asking me to restore to original settings. I have photos on my iPod that were not backed up so will I lose them if I resore to original settings? If so is there any way I can get them back?

After you restore to factory settings/new iPod you can restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
That is your only choice

My phone is full and cannot update software. What to do

my phone is full and cannot update software. What to do? What software can I get rid of? Can I delete Contacts I only use on my computer?
Since pictures fill up a lot of space and I have them on my computer should I delete most of them from my phone?

what difference does it make if I update my iphone via my computer or through the iphone itself? How does that effect the available space problem?
When you update over the air, the file is downloaded, then expanded on your phone...you need free space to do that. When you update using iTunes, the file is downloaded/expanded on your computer, then applied to your phone. That's the difference.
Either start deleting stuff...or update on your computer.

Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. Then try it again.

My iphone 3gs is stuck at recovery mode while updating software 4.3.3

my iphone 3gs is stuck at recovery mode while updating software 4.3.3 and even itunes is not responding . and i m using newest software of itunes on mac. please help.

If you followed all of the steps within that article then it's almost always a hardware issue. Reason being is that if you attempted restoring the iPhone from another computer (as the article informs you to), and you are still stuck in recovery mode, it proves that it is not a problem with the iTunes installation on your computer.

HT201210 How do I turn iphone on after trying to update software through iTunes on a computer?

How do I turn on iphone after trying to update software through itunes on computer?

Normally when updating while connected to your computer running iTunes the iPhone will go through the complete update process and then restart. It will vibrate when it is finished restarting.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings). You should also try restarting your router.
If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

If you have enough room on the boot drive, head to System Preferences > Accounts and create another Admin Account, log out and into it and try your Software Update again.
If this doesn't work, connect a Ethernet cable to the router or modem (power off/on) and try again.
If this doesn't work then run through this list of fixes.
