Updated iphone and now it wants me to restore my phone...

I just updated my iphone's iOS and now iTunes is asking me to restore my phone...I will loose all of my data.
All my photos and memories...contacts...etc. What the??
Can someone help me resolve this?

If your phone is displaying a screen that has a USB cable and the iTunes logo, your data is already gone. You can restore from a backup (if you ever made one to the PC) or from iCloud if you were using iCloud backup.

HT4528 I updated my iPhone and now it want come on just keeps showing picture to connect to itunes

I updated my iPhone and now it want come on just keeps showing connect to iTunes logo

Hey there Smurf_28,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I would next try connecing the iPhone to the wall charger that came with it, and resetting the device:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
When the reset is done, it will still be in recovery mode, so connect it to iTunes and continue with the restore.
iOS: Unable to update or restore

All the best,

When I started my ipad I didn't connect it to my iPhone, and now I want to. How do I connect the two so that my ipad messages will be sent to my phone if I'm not on it.

When I started my ipad I didn't connect it to my iPhone, and now I want to. How do I do this without losing everything and so that my ipad messages will be sent to my iPhone!?!

Did you read the support article that I posted above? Your iPhone number is associated with your Apple ID, so this should be doable.... Unless your iPhone is associated with a different Apple ID. Then this will not work.
From the support article... You may have to sign out on the phone as well.
Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
If your phone number is not listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you are using on your iPhone.
On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
If your phone number is still not listed, follow these steps:
Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and also in Settings > FaceTime.
Now sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.

Hi there,
You can re-download purchased content from the iTunes store directly to your iTunes library or your iOS devices. Take a look at the article below for more information.

No one here can help you, nor can/will Apple. Unless you can get that info, you won't be able to restore the phone, to sell it, or re-activate it.
You need to somehow get back in touch with your girlfriend & obtain this info, or all you'll own is a paperweight.

I tried to update my iPhone 4S to ios 8, and now it wants me to restore it...

I tried to update my iphone 4S to ios 8, but it turned off and now the screen only shows that I have to connect my iphone to iTunes. Upon connecting, it says I have to restore my iPhone. I've never actually had a fond memory of restoring my phone i the past, so i'd rather not have to do that now. Is there anything I can do to fix my iPhone without restoring it?

As you were told in your previous post asking the exact same question, no.
You must restore your iPhone. The answer will not change no matter how many times you ask.

HT4993 Updated iPhone and now only numbers listed not contacts

Updated iPhone to 6.1.3. Now only numbers listed instead of contact names like before

Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, see if that helps.
Check to see that the number you have listed in Contacts is the full number that is sent from Caller ID. The two have to match before the name is displayed.

My iphone 4 suddenly turned off and now its asking me to restore my phone

My iPhone 4 suddenly turned off without any notice and was dead. I would hold the sleep and main button together and nothing would happen. Once home, I connected it straight to the Adapter and now it is asking me to plug in itunes and 'Restore' my phone. What could have happened? Why is it doing this? never happened before and dont now why it occured. Please help!

Well if its the first time its probably nothing to worry about, things happen. If it happens again i would recommend uninstalling the last app you installed, if that fails take it to the apple store because it could be a hardware issue.

TS4062 if i got stuck syncing updates from my imac to my iphone, and now it says i must restore the i phone, can i first retrieve pictures?

i really was doing everything right, so i thought :-) I connected my iphone 4s to my imac, as usual , to sink it......then a notice pops up on my imac that there are updates for my iphone....i press o.k. it says it will take 45 min or so so i minimize it and continue working in my gmail......then in a while another notice pops up telling me it is becoming available to the iphone....i minimize it again ( here i think was my mistake) cause then all of a sudden i see a notice on my imac that they see my iphone is in recovery mode and i must check Restore....now i know from years ago checking restore erases everything from my iphone.....now the big Q
is there a way i can retrieve voicememos, hourlong lectures and pics from my iphone before pressing the restore box on my imack??????????
please help me....i have no access now to my phone....just has that itunes emblem with a cable directed to it.

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

Updated iphone and now outlook is prompting for password

My boss is having an issue with his phone. He updated the software for his iphone by plugging it into his office PC and using itunes. Unfortunately, his Outlook software on his PC is prompting him to enter his password every few minutes. The user name that automatically populates in this pop-up prompt is his iCloud user name. When I spoke with an Apple Support employee, he was not helpful at all and told me that this is a Microsoft issue. This never happened prior to him updating his phone. Is there anyone who has had this problem and can help me?

The way to check is to go to Control Panel and search for "iCloud". If iCloud appears (see first image below), double-click on it. This will be the iCloud control panel for Windows. If he is syncing his computer with his iCloud account it will look similar to the second image below.

Updated Iphone and now just showing an unknown error (14)

I updated the most recent update for my iphone. Once it had finished updating, it came up with an unknow error. My iphone is just showing the sign saying i should plug it into itunes. it tells me i need to restore. i restore it and it just says the error again. i can restore it on my sisters laptop but it means i dont have any of my own numbers or mesages or pictures. i need all of this. can anyone help?

when you tried to restore the iphone the first time it deleted every thing off the iphone. every time you sync, it destroys the old back up, and then makes a new backup. if you can get the iphone up and running you can try to put the back up back on. But the backup may be damaged too.
Also have you checked your computer to see if any of the data is stored else where? (address book, ical, iphoto, itunes)
some times even if the data is damaged you may be able to open the back up using a 3rd party back up viewer. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Freeware-App-Extracts-iPhone-Backups-for-Viewing- on-Your-Mac-97780.shtml
