Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I plugged my phone into my laptop to update the IOS6 software, it downloaded a lot of it then said I must restore my phone, what do I do to make it work again?

Please help I cannot use my phone at all, it has the screen of Itunes with an arrow coming from the USB cable to the itunes symbol.

Thanks.

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

Was iOS 5 installed on the iPhone? if so, you had the option of updating the iPhone's backup wirelessly with your iCloud, or continue updating the backup on your computer when syncing the iPhone with iTunes, which is done automatically by iTunes as the first when syncing.


All iTunes content on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer. If not, you can redownload iTunes content purchased from the iTunes Store.


Regardless, you have no choice if you want a working iPhone.
