Trying to update my iPhone to 5.0.1

I am trying to update my iPhone 4 from version 4.2.6 to 5.0.1 and everytime I try it gives me the following error:
An error occurred while backing up this iPhone(-43).
You like to continue to update this iPhone?
Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPhone.
How can I update my iPhone without loosing everything? Since everything is backed up, if I do the update and do lose everything, can't I just re-upload everything back onto my phone? Or will I lose all of my saved information on my apps?
Any help with this would be appreciated
Thanks!

When your connect your iPhone to iTunes on your computer go to:
Right click on your iPhone (called your name's iPhone or something) and click "Transfer purchases" and enter your Apple ID. Then iTunes will copy off everything you purchased on your iPhone (like Apps, Videos, Podcasts and Music). Then click Update (it will ask to back up first, say yes) and then it should download iOS 5 or iOS 5.0.1 and update afterwards. Then It will sync your stuff right back onto your iPhone.

Hi, I am trying to update an iPhone 4 from iOS 4.3.3 to iOS 7.0.4, and every time I try to update it comes up with an error message saying that there was a problem because the network connection was reset. Is there any way I can get past this and update?

The full message said:
There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone "Judy's iPhone 4". The network connection was reset.
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.
I am trying to update the iPhone for my grandmother, Judy, as I am leaving for Paris on Wednesday night and we want to have Facetime installed on her iPhone before then, so we can stay in contact with each other. It is the simplest way for this to happen but the program simply will not allow me to update her iPhone.
Is there any way to get past this error and update her iPhone? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Dear Jody..jone5

You need iTunes 10.0 or greater to update your phone...iTunes isn't confused at all. If you're on a Mac, you'll need OS X 10.5.8 or greater to update iTunes to 10.0 or greater.

When I tried to update my iPhone 5s to iOS 8.1, I was forced to choose to restore or back up. Back up wasn't working so I had no choice but to restore. I lost pictures over the last two years. Cloud and iTunes backup are not working for me. Help!

How can I retrieve photos when it says my cloud and iTunes backups are empty or not backed up?
When I tried to update my iPhone 5s to iOS 8.1, I was forced to choose to restore or back up. Back up wasn't working so I had no choice but to restore. I lost pictures over the last two years. When I tried my cloud, there was nothing. I would get notifications that my cloud was full, but I thought there would at least be some photos in there. When I tried to restore a back up, it said the last time was two years ago. I thought when you're on wifi, it automatically backs up. I've charged my iPhone into my Macbook a bunch of times, so something should have backed up. Is there any hope for my photos?

Sorry no backup - no pictures.
Yes phone will automatically backup to icloud when on wifi and phone is charge, but your phone storage was full so it stop backing up.
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

When your phone was connected to your computer, you should've seen an autoplay which would've allowed you to import your pics to your computer as you would a digital camera Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

Fehlermeldung 3014 beim Update auf IOS 7 von Iphone - error message 3014 when trying to update my iPhone to IOS 7

First in German:
Ich hab heute versucht mein Iphone 5 auf das IOS 7 zu installieren - böser Fehler, ich hab jetzt immer und immer wieder die Fehlermeldung 3014 gekriegt (einmal die 21, aber das war beim 3. Versuch, seitdem nur 3014). Mein Iphone befindet sich jetzt im Wartungszustand und kommt nicht mehr raus...
Ich hab auch schon so ziemlich alle Vorschläge auf der Seite, zu der mich die Fehlermeldung führt ausprobiert, ausser das mit dem Router - weil sich dessen Firewall nicht ausschalten lässt (ist ein W723V Typ A von der Telekom) und weil ich nicht weiß, wie ich da irgendwas mit dem Server gs.apple.com konfigurieren kann - das bietet die Benutzereinstellung von dem Teil nicht an - und ich hab auch die Firewall von meinen Norton 360 nur ausgeschaltet und nicht deinstalliert, da ich nicht weiß, ob ich den nochmal installiert kriege - ach ja - und einen anderen PC hab ich nicht ausprobiert, weil ich um 23:50 Uhr Nachts nicht bei anderen Leuten einfallen kann...
Hat jemand einen Tipp, wie ich das beheben kann, bzw. wie ich rausfinde, ob es jetzt am Router, am Norton oder am PC liegt? Alle Software ist übrigens aktualisiert - was noch nicht aktualsiert hab, hab ich ausgeschaltet - aber nichts hilft!
Alles andere bei Itunes funktioniert super - also ich kann Musik kaufen und abspielen - im iTunes - IPhone geht ja grad net...
Danke!
Now in English:
I have tried to update my Iphone 5 to IOS 7 today - grave mistake, now I keep getting error message 3014 (once I got 21, but that was on try 3 - and since then I keep only getting 3014). My iPhone is now in "support mode"? - sorry, I don't know what "Wartungszustand" is in Englisch - however, the iphone is not usable anymore and when I connect it to iTunes it tells me that it detected that the iPhone is in "Wartungszustand" and I need to restore it to the settings with which I bought it - which is not working because it keeps giving me the 3014 error message.
I have tried everything that the website the error message sent me to has listed - except for the following:
- the stuff with the internet router, because in the settings it is not possible to switch of the firewall, and I have no clue how to tell it to allow access to gs.apple.com - there is no option where I can put in an address like that!
- deinstalling my Norton 360 firewall - I have switched it off, but I am not willing to deinstall it, because I have no clue if I get it up and running again - and how...
- using another person's computer - because it is midnight and I can not run down the only person's door, who I know has an iPhone at this time of the night...
Does anyone have an idea how I can find out which programm is causing the trouble? Or if it is really only related to the "Wartungszustand"? - All software is up to date - that which wasn't I already updated earlier this evening.
Oh - and itunes works fine otherwise (downloading and playing freshly bought music...)
Thanks,
Lörchen

Ja... auf alle mögliche Art und Weise... auch mit Hilfe vom Telefon-Support...
Am Ende hat jetzt doch nur geholfen, dass mir meine Kollegin ihr MacBook geliehen hat - darauf konnte ich mein iPhone wiederherstellen - das seltsame ist nur .- ich hab dann auch gleich mein iPad auf iOS 7 akutalisiert (wo ich den Hilfsrechner schonmal da hab *ggg*) - hab's aber erst mit meinem Windows Vista probiert - DA hat es einwandfrei funktioniert... vielleicht war das Update für's iPad (immerhin knapp 20 MB weniger) grad noch klein genug für meine alte, lahme Windows-Gurke? Oder das MacBook nebendran hat es eingeschüchtert?
Keine Ahnung! Werde mir demnächst ein Apple-PC kaufen - das war eh geplant...
Trotzdem Danke an alle, die mir helfen wollten!
LG

Anything that was on the phone is already gone. You have no choice but to restore. If you were backing up and syncing the phone on a regular basis, you should be able to restore your backup with minimal data loss.

I tried to update my iPhone 4s to the ios 6 and it wouldn't download and my phone will not work now.

I tried to update my iPhone 4s to the ios 6 and it wouldn't download and my phone will not work. I started the download and it said that it had 6 hours remaining, so i just left it overnight. The next morning it was working fine, but the ios 6 didn't download. I looked at it later and it had the turning on screen with the loading bar under it. It stayed like that for a while and the bar didn't move. I needed to use my phone so I tried to make it go to the home screen, but nothing happened. I held down the lock and home button for a few seconds and everything went black. I tried to turn it back on and all it has done all day is stayed on the turning on screen. I tried plugging it into the wall, and nothing happened. I tried connecting it to iTunes, and nothing happened. I don't know what I need to do to get it to work.

OMG is working OMG OMG OMG Thanks alot dude!

I am getting an error message that my network connection has timed out. while trying to update my iPhone on iTunes. Has anyone found a solution? I was given some advice about turning off my firewall and/or virus protection but am nervous about doing that.

I get a message that my network connection has timed out while trying to update my iPhone on iTunes. Has anyone else had that problem and if so what solutions have you found? I was told to turn off my firewall and/or virus protection while updating but am nervous about doing that for obvious reasons. I'm also disgusted with Apple not providing free tech support.

See this article about the ports that have to be open during the update process. iTunes has to contact Apple during the download. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues

Trying to update my iPhone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.1 via iTunes.When I click the "Update" button, I just get a message saying the iTunes is at the current version (6.1), but no action re the iOS update.

I'm trying to update my iPhone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.1. When I try to do this using iTunes on my MacBook Pro (OS X v 10.5.8), with my iPhone in its cradle, clicking the "Update" button in Tunes gets a message saying "This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version." I can't get the iOS update to download.
When I try to update to the iPhone directly, I get a message saying "iOS 6.0.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the Internet" at the Verifying Update step. I noticed that this message refers to iOS 6.0.1, even though I want to update to 6.1. It is possible that, a few weeks ago, I may have downloaded but not installed v 6.0.1.
Thanks for any help with this problem

I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
Thanks very much for your feedback.
