Weird Error while Updating my iPhone :'((

So tonight i connected my iPhone 3GS to my MacBook and went to update it to the new software. this turned out with my MacBook repeatedly saying that there was an error and to reconnect my iPhone. i kept doing this everytime it said this. then when it finally was able to restart my iPhone after updating it disconnected again from my MacBook then it said i had to Restore my iPhone to the original manufacturer settings so i started doing that well while it was doing that it disconnected again and now my iPhone is not being recognized by my MacBook and i have used 3 different USB cables and im pretty sure my iPhone is now frozen. idk what to do now except wait until morning and show my dad.
any suggestions?

I can't help with a software solution, but I can tell you that my daughters iPhone 4, had to go to the Apple Store in Exeter (UK) where she saw a 'nice', multi-tasking, Genius called David, who after finding it could not update on their Macs, put it down to a hardware fault in the USB connection on the iPhone.
Once that was discovered, she was handed a new replacement without any quibble.
This is a big issue to us who had the problem, (all the family iPhones updated perfectly except for hers..) so you are just going to be one of the unlucky few, versus the 100m who didn't - and Apple will see you right...

  • Error while updating Apple IPhone 3GS

    I tried to update my IPhone 3GS using Itunes version 11.0.4 for Windows but at the end it displays the message Your phone could not be activated as the server is temporarily unavailable..Please suggest what can i do in this situation.

    This action is usually indicative of either a security software issue with accessing the gs.apple.com server, or the phone has been jailbroken or the computer used to jailbreak a phone in the past. Do any of these scenairos apply to you?

    If you do from the phone try from iTunes and vice versa.

    Thanks for your reply Michalo. I am in India and here Apple care does not work on Sundays. I have been without my phone for the entire day. Perhaps tomorrow will bring some respite. There is not solution to "error (-1)" on any forum it seems. I found one forum which suggested use of Tiny Umbrella. Any idea about that?

    Check to see if you anti-virus software running, that will at times interfere with the connection with the Apple server.

  • Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. Any suggestions please?

    Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. I DO NOT have any back ups on itunes. Is there anyway to get out of recovery mode without restoring or recover data after a restore?
    Or any other suggestions please? Thanks

    As pdroth said, you should have gotten a backup made when you started the update of iOS. If you cannot find a backup, and the phone is in recovery mode, there are no futher suggestions to make. To get the phone working again you have to restore. You cannot force a backup at this time since it is already in recovery mode. It will not allow anything else but a restore at this point.

    Did you click on the link just below that that says:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X

    You have to read the entire support article and follow the subsequent links if the first solutions do not resolve the issue....

    I suspect your error was 1015, not 1051. This usually involves a jailbroken iPhone, use Google to find your solution.

  • HT1688 Activation server can not be reached while updating my iPhone software.

    Why is my phone not activating the new 7 software on an iphone 4s.
    Here is part of the message I have beengetting...
    Activation server can not be reached while updating my iPhone software.

    Restart the iPhone.
    Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
    Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
