iPhone4 stuck at connect to itunes
Please help. I have a much loved genuine iPhone4, I bought this new 18 months ago and have not changed networks or done anything unusual with the phone.
On 14th Feb, I connected to iTunes and followed the prompt to upgrade both iTunes and iPhone software (BIG mistake!), iTunes was fine but during the upgrade of the iPhone software it ran into problems and is now stuck on the 'connect to itunes logo'
I have tried putting phone into restore mode and restoring but it errors during the restore process with an error message that the iPhone is damaged! I don't really believe this as the phone was working perfectly!
I read something online about an issue with Apple servers on 14th Feb causing problems and I'm wondering if this could be related!
What can I do, I'm no longer in warranty and have been trying repeatedly (also on a different computer) since Feb 14th... I miss my iPhone!!
I have tried on both my usual Apple laptop and a separate Windows XP machine
Please help, thanks!
iPhone 4, Windows XP
