Trying to update iphone and received msg that could not back up because it has not been set up yet?

Trying to update iphone.
Update did not work.
Now trying to turn phone back on and restore.
Received msg that could not back up iphone because it has not been set up yet.

I have iOS 8.02 on my iPhone 5S and Itunes 11.4.0.18 on a Windows 7 computer. iTunes is not syncing newly added music CD's. It's set to automatically import CDs when they're loaded using the AAC encoder and error correction. After they're importedm the songs and albums show up in the iTunes library, but they don't sync with my iPhone.
I've tried the following: Went to the Genius Bar at the Apple store for advice, which was useless (unusual); deleted & reinstalled iTunes; switched from syncing all music to syncing manually (and checked every song, album & genre; deleted the newly-added CDs that didn't sync and re-loaded them.
Is this an iOS 8 problem? Am I encoding incorrectly? If not AAC encoder, then what?

TS3219 Why did my itunes delete all the music off my iphone and how do I get it back on? Syncing has not worked

Got my Iphone. Already had itunes and was able to figure out how to put my music on. Got a new laptop with Windows 8. Downloaded itunes and authorized this new computer. Imported a cd to the library, then couldn't sync the new songs from the cd. Somehow started a sync, then boom all the music was gone from the iphone. Maybe I hit a restore button? Don't have a clue what I am doing, now I have managed to get only the imported songs from the library onto the iphone, but none of the others. Everytime I plug it into my laptop, my photo stream asks if I want to download all my pics, that are already downloaded, and doesn't open itunes. Help. I am getting fed up and cant even figure out how to download the user manuals on any of this stuff!

This typically indicates a hacked/jailbroken/unofficially unlocked iphone.

I recently got the new iPhone 5c I used icloud to back everything up from my 4s to my new 5c. Now, I keep getting a pop up that says Continue Restoring? (This iPhone has not been backed uprecently because it has not finished being restored. Would you like to finish downloading any remaining purchases and media before backing up, or delete them along with any app date?)
I seleted to finish downloading because I didn't want to lose anything. It still will not finish downloading and I have tried this several times.
What do I need to do to that I can get my iphone to back up and so that I can install the new iOS?

Hello there, Brandifoote24.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up an explanation of what you're error signifies:
iCloud: Understanding Backup alert messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4576
"This iPhone has not been backed up recently because it has not finished being restored. Would you like to finish downloading any remaining purchases and media before backing up, or delete them along with any app data?"
This message is displayed if your iOS device has been trying to complete a restore for more than three days. This can occur if your restore has been interrupted due to network connectivity issues or some other problem occurs.
Being that this is the case, you would want to go back to the article it seems you were referred to us from and try to restore from your icloud backup again:
iCloud: Troubleshooting restoring an iCloud backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4036
How do I restore an iCloud backup if my device is already set up for use?
You'll need to erase all data and settings from your device, so first confirm that you have an iCloud backup to restore:
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage, then tap the name of your device to view a list of iCloud backups.
Check the date of the backup you want to restore, because you'll be restoring only what iCloud backed up on that date.
After confirming that an iCloud backup is available, follow these steps:
Connect your device to a power source and make sure that it is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi.
Follow the instructions for restoring your iOS device from an iCloud backup, which include making sure that your device is using the latest version of iOS.
If the issue persists, then I would troubleshoot Wi-Fi using the following article:

My phone is stating that it cannot back up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. What can I delete to create more space?

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

I received "Not Enough Storage" and my iPad couldn't be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. I can't go to settings or power down because the touch screen isn't responding. I did buy more iCloud storage with my phone,

I received a message stating Not Enough Storage. This iPad cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. The touch screen will not let me select settings to correct this. I did purchase more storage via my iPhone, but I still cannot get my iPad working.

Try this.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

My new 5c iPhone warns that it has not been backed up because it has not been restored. What do I do?

My new iPhone 5c sends a recurring message "This iPhone has not been backed up recently because it has not finished being restored. Would you like to download any remaining purchases and media before backing them up...?" I reply: finish downloading, the device is on WiFi and nothing happens. The message returns. Plus with this my dropbox has frozen up. What do I do?

If it is restoring from your icloud backup, you'll need to be connected to wifi - phone locked and connected to a power source. And leave the phone alone until it is done.

Trying to update features and receive a message

Message received and I can't continue. What does this mean?
We've detected that SFO1Name should be removed from your line of service. This is unrelated to your requested feature changes.

When trying to change my data plan, I received this message. "We've detected that SFO1Name should be removed from your line of service. This is unrelated to your requested feature changes."
Message received and I can't continue. What does this mean? I've talked with the customer service rep and he didn't know what SFO1Name was. Since I'm a secondary to the account, I have to wait to my wife calls, but found it weird that the CS said that they could make the changes on their end.

TS3694 Trying to update iPhone 5 to latest OS. Now the screen is dark except for the iTunes icon and an icon showing the charger cable pointing to the icon. Bricked out at that point.

Tried to update iPhone 5 to latest OS. When I looked at the phone a while later, the screen was dark except for the iTunes icon in the middle of the screen and another icon showing the charger cable and an arrow point to the iTunes icon. Now I'm bricked out of the phone. When I hold down the power button after the screen goes completely dark, the Apple logo appears, then the iTunes icon I described.

Hi Aphthonius,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you only see the "connect to iTunes" screen on your iPhone, this means that the device is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. The information and steps in this article can help further:
