Ive jsut tried to update my iphone 4 and its asking me to click restore, does this mean I will lose all of my information?

You will only lose data that you did not sync to your computer, or data you did not back up to iCloud. If you have synced or used iCloud then the data is stored for you.

HT4623 I have just tried to update my Iphone 5 and its jow stuck with the iTunes plug in sign, what do I do nomw?

I have just tried to update my iPhone 5 adn its stuck with iTunes plug in sign, I have always used my I CLOUD.
Please someone help, Im lost without my phone!!

Do this.
Turn your phone off: When you get to that itunes plug in sign, press and hold the power and home button until your screen goes black, and release those buttons when it goes black. ( make sure your phone is not plugged in your pc yet).
Now your phone is off.
Next do this: Press and hold power+home button for exactly 10 seconds, after 10 seconds pass, release the power button but keep holding your home button for exactly 13 seconds.
Now plug in your usb cord to your pc and then to iphone, and open up itunes. Itunes should say that there is a device in recovery mod discovered , and simply press RESTORE. Your iphone will restore and you'll be able to use your phone.
Reply with results or questions.
Hope I helped.

Try this - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

I have updated my iPad mini and now when I watch videos or photos I have taken I cannot zoom or pan around. Please help

Quit the mail app and reset your iPad like this:
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. Any suggestions please?

Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. I DO NOT have any back ups on itunes. Is there anyway to get out of recovery mode without restoring or recover data after a restore?
Or any other suggestions please? Thanks

As pdroth said, you should have gotten a backup made when you started the update of iOS. If you cannot find a backup, and the phone is in recovery mode, there are no futher suggestions to make. To get the phone working again you have to restore. You cannot force a backup at this time since it is already in recovery mode. It will not allow anything else but a restore at this point.

I just tried to update my iPad 4, and it just shows an iTunes logo and a cord. I've tried to reset, but it's frozen.

I just tried to update my iPad to 7.1.1, and an iTunes logo and long white cord shows up. It's been an hour, and it's as if it is frozen. I tried to reset, but it keeps coming back to this. How do I get my iPad back? This is an iPad four.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT201442 I tried to update my iPad mini to iOS 7.1 using my PC. Then iTunes said that my device is in recovery mode but can't recover my device. What should I do?

iTunes could not recover my iPad mini and gave out the error message 3194. What should I do?

Now when I plug my phone into my PC, iTunes treats my phone as new or restore from previous back up version. I plugged the phone into my PC before and used iTunes to back it up at leat once. When I click to access my phone, iTunes asked for my permission and on the phone screen displayed 'trust this computer'? How weird. No 'back up' option because iTunes still think my phone is new.

Downloaded iPhone 2.0 software update to 2.1 now stuck in restore mode

After syncing iTouch tonight if offered an software update from the 2.0 firmware to 2.1. After paying the $9.95 for the udpate the iTouch is now stuck in recovery mode. When you plug iTouch into computer w/the USB is stays it needs to be restored/recovered. After the 20 minute download. Still nothing. Screen shows a cd and asks for the USB cable. Tried to unplug and while holding home button in plugging back in and same thing. Their software update...nothing found in troubleshooting.

OK, so the restore completes without error but then you get the same thing afterwards?
Let's try the new user:
1. Go to Control Panel > User Accounts
2. Click on "Create new user"
3. Follow the prompts to create a new computer administrator
4. Restart the PC and log in to the new account
Once you're in the new account, open up iTunes and try to restore the iPod. Note that it will download another copy of the iPod software.

Can somebody please help me I am lost and not sure where to get support on this issue.
Thank you so much

If you continue and you lose everything, you will be able to download most of the content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. You can read this about downloading past purchases.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
But before you continue and lose everything, try this.
Eject your iPad, quit iTunes and restart your computer. Then launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. See if you have mutliple iPad backups showing in there. If you have multiple backups, delete all but one of them. Also check the box at the bottom that turns off auto sync .... Prevent iPods ......Click OK and Then quit iTunes.
Connect the iPad again and launch iTunes. Right click on your iPad name on the left side of iTunes and select backup. See if the iTunes will create a backup. If it does, after it finishes, click on the Summary Pane on the right and click on check for update. Try to update again.
If it all goes OK, after you update the iOS you can back to Edit>Preferences>Devices and turn on atuo sync again - assuming that is how you want to sync.

HT201210 Trying to update my IPAD 2 and keep getting error (9)

Yesterday I check my IPAD 2 (wifi + 3G) for any APP update, it was downloading and stop, lock up on me. When I turn back on it's showing ITunes hookup. I update my Mac to the lastest ITunes and try to restore and update my IPAD. It was a no-go, keep coming up with error. What would cause that and how do I fix that to update my IPAD to IOS6 and hopefully my data is still there.
