Trying to update my iPhone and now i have to restore it... any help?!
i've just tried to update my phone to IOS 6.1 (the latest update) and now my iPhone 4S isn't recognised by iTunes and saying i need to restore it. help?! can't access my phone, its in 'connect to itunes mode', tried restarting both macbook pro and 4S, no luck.
i'm loathed to restore it as my last few back ups have been unsuccessful.
thank you!
As for not wanting to restore, you don't have a choice. It's in recovery mode, which means anything that was on the phone is already gone.
Here's a support document on how to correct the problem wih iTunes not recognizing it: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591

Yes, connect to your computer with the latest version of iTunes installed and restore it. If it doesn't show up in iTunes when you connect it see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

i need help!??? i just tried to update my ipod and now its making me restore it on itunes and it wont complete the restoring process. Its giving the warning that the updated software server couldn't be reached. Can anybody help????
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -

I was on the phone with an apple tech for two hours, we managed to update itune program on computer, but by that time the phone was dead and would not show up as a divice. She told me to let the phone charge, then plug it in and it might recognise my phone, which it did. I followed the directions and now my iphone is a nice paperweight. She also told me she would email a case number and some articles which would guide me through the process if it did not work. I did not receive them!! My iphone cannot be restored (error 1611). I have removed all security ware as it suggested. I even took down the windows firewall... I have tried everything (except of course I cannot try what they suggest I adjust on my phone because it is frozed FOREVER!!! Please help me!!
Put the device in DFU mode (Google it) and restore.

HT4623 I tried to update my iphone and now i cant get rid of the i tunen plug emnlem on my phone
how do I get rid of the itunes plug emnlem from my phone screen?
I just got home from the Genius Bar; that graphic you see means you need to restore your settings. My 3GS seems to have bitten the dust though; would not restore but the guy said to try one more time from home computer -- now I can't get my PC to recognize my phone and can't get to a prompt to restore to factory settings. 8-(.

or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

I tried updating my iphone and now it says I have to restore my phone. I've never had this problem with the previous updates, I'm confused?
Same with me. The Upgrade hung up and froze the phone. Do the restore and then back it up when you get into iTunes from a previous save. It takes the better part of an hour our of your day depending how many apps and songs you have to get everything back together. It is a royal pain but I didn't lose anything.

Update my iphone and now the battery drains very quickly
update my iphone and now the battery drains very quickly
my battery started draining after 4 or 5 hours on iPhone 4 8GB with little or no use. It was suggested in some of the threads I consulted that it might be related to a server malfunction on an email account, and to delete the account, hard boot the phone, and re-install the account, Sure enough, this worked for me. Charged at 100% at 11pm and got up next morning at 6am at 100% ( turned the email push notifications to OFF as well ) The previous 2 days I would get up and there would be less 10% battery life. A few days before this problem started my email provider had a server issue with Outlook, I couldnt get emails to and from that account to load on my iphone, so I suspect that this was the problem; iphone and or email provider was still trying to get those emails and this was causing the drain.
