The update ios 6.01 killed my iphone 4s. How do I fix this

I started the update as suggested last night and things were fine and then all of a sudden my the only thing that would come up on my screen is the itunes logo and with the cord. I plugged into my computer and pulled up itunes to get the fix and then my computer would not recognize not only my iphone but my ipod as well. I started the recovery process before this happened and now my phone is stuck in the middle of the recovery process and I can't get past this.. Is my phone dead, do I need to take it to a fix it shop ?

Then you should try recreating your iTunes library
Close itunes
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Locate your iTunes folder (this is the folder that contains the iTunes Library and iTunes Library.xml files).
Microsoft Windows 7
\Users\[your username]\My Music\
3. Open your iTunes folder.
4. Drag the "iTunes Library.xml" and "iTunes Library.itl" files to the Desktop.
6. Open iTunes. - it should be empty
7. Go back to your My music\iTunes folder, and you should see a iTunes media folder you will want to re-add that back in to iTunes.
8. Then Try resyncing

Error Occured Installing iOS 5.1 on my iPhone 4S, how do i fix this?

I was able to download iOS 5.1 via wifi on my iphone since March 7, but after downloading, it keeps on saying that an error occured installing iOS 5.1. How can I fix this? been trying to download it on my pc but it takes a while. the file is almost 1GB unlike ota update on my iphone, its just 183MB.

Next step in troubleshooting is a reset. You hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will restart. This will not have any affect on your data. If this doesn't help, the next step is a restore, however before I did this, I would call the carrier. Most SMS/MMS issues can be traced to the carrier. They may have to reset SMS on their end.

These did not sync with my IPhone wirelessly or over the wired connection to my Mac. Please can someone let me know how to update the playlist?
Thanks

My old computer crashed and I imported my music to my new computer. Now iTunes won't sync the music in my library to my iPhone. How can I fix this?

I hadn't synced my iPhone yet to my new computer after buying some more music. When I went to sync, with that computer, it asked me to delete all the old music that had been from the old computer. I had been through this before with no problems so I had my phone's music wiped and was ready to resync my entire library. Everytime I try, though, it only completes the back up step, and the determing which songs to sync step, but it won't actually sync the music and just says it's done.

Your iPad is married to its now deceased old computer. This is the reason for the necessity of a backup for your computer, which your iPad is not.
Your iTunes Store and App Store purchases will not be lost. Just don't "erase and sync" when you sync your iPad to your new Mac:
If you want to move the iTunes Store purchases on your device to the new computer, choose "Transfer Purchases." The new computer must be set up with your iTunes Store account and authorized to play your iTunes Store purchases in order to transfer your iTunes Store purchases.

I'm help a friend with a new 4S iPhone. He's converting from an old 3GS. We've gone throughout the activation, update to iOS 5.0.2 and restored. Now I'm surprised to find that the Facetime app is not on his new 4S iPhone. How do we fix this?

I would suggest you read the user guide. There IS no Facetime App for the iPhone.

You mean the Apple Mail app? Updated through software Update in the Apple Menu?.
Or maybe you downloaded Mail from another source?
Do you still have Snow Leopard or didn't you update your profile?

Temporarily dip ****.
And excluding the extremely high network traffic due to the many millions of users downloading the update a day or two after is was released, this is a problem with that swiss cheese for security garbage OS that is Windows only, which is the joke. An update that is now running on 1 in 3 compatible iDevices which is in the 10's of milllions is vaporware Einstein?
If I were your rep, I would tell you to **** off. Go get Windoze mobile devices.

You can sync as many iphones/ipods/ipads as you like to one computer/library.
Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync
Do the same with the other iphone.
