Of course - I try to update my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 & now it's bricked. Beautiful!

Ok so after a long wait to upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 tonight, everything was done and right at the end it received an unknown error & could not install the update. Now my phone is bricked with the picture of the charger plugging into the phone on the screen.
When I plug it in itunes wants to restore it to recovery mode - but this states that it will wipe the iphone & all data & install the newest version of iOS.
So will I be able to then load my previously saved iphone backup to the phone once I go through this recovery mode? Or is all of my data & iphone settings lost at this point.
Does technology EVER work the way it's supposed to?!

Which version of iTunes are you running?
If it isnt iTunes 11, update. If it is iTunes 11, i would start by uninstalling iTunes, and of course reinstalling.
EDIT:
Also,
Try with another USB to Dock Connector cable if you have one on hand, just to rule out the cable.
On the same train of thought, make certain that your dock connection on the device is free of debris, and also corrosion (a bluish green colour accumulating on the 30 pins).

I updated my iphone 4 with iOS 6; now I can't turn it back on.

I updated my iphone 4S with ios 6; now it only goes to the apple screen and no further. It won't turn off and I can't get it to go past the apple screen either. What do I do?

If you have an iPhone 4S, you're in luck! You still have your Apple warrenty!
I would contact Apple either online, or go to your local Apple Store and set up an appointment with the Genius Bar.
Good luck!

I recently updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 6 now experiencing problems

After I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 6 I have been having a lot of problem. The home and lock buttons often do not work/have a very large delay. The screen freezes frequently. The vibrate for texts and calls is often delayed or never occurs. Have others been experiencing these problems as well or have any suggestions?

I noticed that my camera app crashes when panorama mode is engaged - but only if the sound is switched off.

I just updated my IPhone 4 5 IOS and now everything is messed up

Hi everybody : ) Sorry to be meeting this way, but I just updated my IPhone 4 to the new 5IOS software. And now, when trying to sync my phone it is telling me.
"Iphone -insert name of Iphone here- cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found."
I have no idea why it's doing this and I would love to fix it. It's taking more an hour just to get the entire thing to sync and more than once sync to do so. I would love for this to not happen every time I try and sync my phone with new music or photos.
Also, my downloaded apps are not installed and won't install on to my device. Nor will my Itunes let me update my apps. It keeps telling me that there's an Itunes error.
Please Help me figure out what's wrong with my phone and how to fix it : /

The only restore I can find is from 2010.

Every time I try and update my iphone 4 to ios 7.1 in iTunes 11.1.5 it says "connection reset" even when there is no problem with my connection

I have an iPhone 4. I use iTunes 11.1.5 on my Mac. I am trying to update to ios 7.1 through iTunes, but every time I do that, I get a "connection reset" error, even when I know there has been no problem with my connection.
The exact error message is as follows:
"There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone "Anne's iPhone". The network connection was reset.
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later."
I have checked several times. There is no problem with the connection, and I have tried to download the software several times today.
Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

Just managed to successfully download the update, having retried five or six times. I did unplug my phone while the download was taking place (had asked iTunes to download only, not to update) -- suspect this had no bearing on it whatsoever, and that persistence is the only way here.

HT201210 Error every time I try to update my iphone 4s to iOS 7

it gives me an error message saying "software update unavailable- software update is not available at this time. Try again later" What do I do?

Youre not doing anything wrong, its just the servers are probably flooded with people updating. It happens with almost every OS update so dont let it get to you. Just be patient and eventually it will work.

HT6162 An error occurs every time I try and update my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.1. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

I've cleared my entire phone in order to make space for this update and now it won't update. What am I doing wrong? Is there anything I can do?

Did you jailbreak your iPhone ?
OTA Update would not work.
You need to Restore in iTunes. Pray it goes well.

I updated my phone last night. It was working just fine before that. Now today I can't send pics to anyone! What happened and how do I fix it?

Check in settings that MMS is turned on. Also contact your phone carrier to see if they can resolve the issue.

Unable to update my iPhone 4 from IOS 5 to IOS 7.1

When I try to update my iPhone 4 from IOS 5 to IOS 7.1, via the phone itself or via iTunes, it says that the update failed, but does not give a fail number that I could check.

Just managed to upgrade after the 5th attempt.
Cheers

TS3694 I try to update my iPhone 5 but in the middle of the way error 1603 didnot allow me I did every thing that I read about it but in every computer and updated one it is the same and now I am in DUF mood and my phone can not start what I must to do

The program is for replacement since Apple does not repair iDevices...you take your non-working or damaged iPhone to an Apple store genius bar, or send to Apple service, and they provide a refurbished unit as a replacement, for a fee, of course. You will have to talk with Apple to see if you get all components or just the iPhone replaced.
With AppleCare+ you can have two out-of-warranty replacements for a cost of $49 each.

Of course - I try to update my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 & now it's bricked. Beautiful!
