iOS 6.1 update, iTunes cannot read contents of iPhone
Updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 this morning OTA. Everything was going fine, phone was below 50% and needed to be plugged in so I plugged it into my computer to let it charge and the update installed. Immediately a window in iTunes popped up saying:
I press ok and it takes me to the summary page and iTunes recognizes my phone as being in recovery mode, when it definitely is not. I had to go through and finish the install on the phone, then I tired restarting both my phone and computer, and tried downloading iTunes again and installing. This message is still coming up and will not let me sync my phone! I can only restore it.
Restoring the phone wouldn't be the end of the world (I was able to backup to iCloud after this happened this morning), but I just don't understand what is going on and would prefer not to sit and restore it and then restore from the iCloud backup. Anyone else experience this when updating to iOS 6.1? Or have a solution? Could it have been plugging it into iTunes to let it charge and finish the update? I wouldn't think so because you can update through iTunes... But I'm not sure.
