Unable to update software on iphone 4 and now cannot even turn my phone on

Got most of the way though updating then came up with error 6, but I have tried all options given to rectify and still not working, now my phone will not even turn on.

Hello moronic,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with device errors. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Symptoms
Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch may occasionally stop responding to buttons, switches, or touchscreen input and may exhibit one or more of these symptoms:
Does not return to the Home screen after you press the Home button
Does not wake from sleep after you press the Sleep/Wake button
Does not turn on (or power on) when you press any button
Does not start up past Apple logo
Appears frozen or unresponsive
Is unable to "Slide to Unlock" or "Slide to Power Off"
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected,  restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),  reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

    I did an update on my Iphone and now the screen says connect to iTunes.  I cannot get past this screen.  Has anyone had this issue?

  • Just downloaded update for my iphone and now it wont turn back on and all it shows on the screen is the usb plug with an arrow pointed at itunes

    what do i do

    Why did you disconnect it when it showed that screen? That is just one step in the update process. You need to complete the update; that is what that screen says. Just plug it in and let it finish. If it doesn't see this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • I updated my 4S iphone and now I am getting all the texts from another iPhone on my plan.  How do I stop this?

    I updated my 4S iPhone and now I am getting all the texts from another iPhone on my plan.  What do I need to do?

    I'm not completely clear on the GSM / LTE network frequencies in US vs Argentina, but I do know that cross-compatibility can be an issue when buying from one country and using in another. Apple products in particular have this problem. What this sounds like to me is that the phone is not compatible with Argentinian networks; or your friend had an AT&T phone and jail-broke it. This is against the end user licensing agreement, and when the phone is next updated is likely to jam the phone.
    Sorry but you lost your money.

  • I updated to 7.1 and now when I plug my phone into the computer, it says there are no pictures??????

    I updated to 7.1 and now when I plug my phone into the computer, it says there are no pictures??????  When I have 500 pictures on it!!!!!  Im soooooo mad I did the update! Worst decision ever!!!!!!!!!!   I am SOOOO ready to leave the IPHONE alone- maybe throw it in the river or lay it on the train tracks.   Its been NOTHING BUT TROUBLE since the update!

    Just to be clear: Tap on the Photos app to start the app. Then tap on Albums at the bottom of the screen. You might have several albums but only one is named "Camera Roll." Are there photos in that album?
    If there are NO photos in the Camera Roll album there are no pictures to import. The remaining albums might have come from a sync with your computer or they might be your PhotoStream.
    If there ARE photos in the Camera Roll album, connect your iPhone to your computer and start your camera application on the computer. Your phone should be recognized as a camera.

    Hello there, BundyA.
    Error 3 is usually associated to security software settings. The following Knowledge Base article provides some great information and links for troubleshooting the issue:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    This section should prove useful:
    Configure your security software
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Common errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.

  • Just downloaded iOS 7.0 on iPhone and now cannot send email -sender address rejected by server???

    JusJust downloaded iOS 7.0 on iPhone and now cannot send email -sender address rejected by server???

    What happens when you go to the web based mail for your email account?
    Are you able to login and send / receive messages from the web?
    If so, you might need to check outgoing email settings on your iPhone
    Settings > Mail, Contacts Calendars
    Tap on the account you are having an issue with
    Tap on the email address beside the word Account
    Tap on info beside SMTP  (SMTP = outgoing mail server)
    Tap on the SMTP server name again. 
    Make sure server is turned on
    Check settings & port info, password, etc.
    Good luck!

  • I did the latest update to my iphone and now it is not activating. why ???

    its saying "
    We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. "
    please help me to sort out the problem.

    We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care?"
    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

  • TS1702 Supercam Pro update.Just downloaded update 24-05-2013 and now cannot connect to DVR.Entered correct http address but not connecting,anyone else having same problem?

    Supercam Pro,latest update yesterday 25-05-2013.Now cannot connect to my DVR.Anyone else having problem with this update,worked perfectly before???

    The OP is correct, I have done many tests.  With IOS6 there appears to be a dns issue in some cases with IOS for both ipad(2) at lease (my wife won't let me upgrade here v1) and the iPhone4s in my case.  Pretty easy to diagonse, I wish Apple would fix it.
    1.) I use a Juniper 5GT wireless firewall and all of my other devices (many apple, ipad, MBP, iMAC,3 ipods etc) are fine: Not ipad2 or iphone4s running IOS6
    2.) after upgrade nothing worked.  narrowed it down by messing with dns (I have my own dns server)
    3.) Strange thing; dns works over MiFI (Verizon) and Carrier
    4.) confirmed that it is a dns and not network issue.
    -down load free tool called ping-scope-lite.   (obviously you need to turn off wifi to do this)
      http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ping-scope-lite/id431500107?mt=8
    turn on wifi
    - ping Level3 dns server 4.2.2.2 or Googlesdns servers 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 these worked.
    -now ping by name google.com or ipchicken.com
       - try others; same result.
    Apple did say that they would give me another iphone 4s: I just wasn't sure that would fix my issue.  I tried downgrading to 5.1.1 but I got an error saying my device wasn't able to do so (tried even blocking itunes from contacting Apple)  I whis this could be fixed.  I did even have it working using my own dns server but now I can see that my phone over wifi isn't even trying to make a dns request now.
