I have an iPhone 4S, and last night before I went to bed I tried to update to IOS 6.1. It was taking a while, I must've fallen asleep while waiting for it to update. I woke up this morning and my phone alarm had not gone off. I looked at my phone screen and it appeared to be off. I held down the "Hold" button, thinking it had turned itself off, and it displayed the Apple logo and then the "Plug into iTunes" screen. I plugged it into my computer, and iTunes said I needed to restore it. I have tried several times, and it won't work. It will go through the process (it takes about 15 minutes), and then as it is finishing, a window will pop-up saying "the iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored". I am worried because it won't restore, and also because my iPhone isn't named "iPhone". It is named something else. Could my iPhone be damaged from the IOS 6.1 update? It was working perfectly normally last night, I have not dropped it or gotten it wet. I am updated to the most recent iTunes update, and Apple's Troubleshooting Tips are not helping at all. Anyone have any ideas?

I have a 4S and an iPad. Syncronization with our work exchange server is flawed and the new OS crashed all of our exchange servers causing our company to quarantine all iPhone and iPad users. In addition, on my iPhone, I have 15 messages listed that are unread, but when I scroll through my emails, there are no unread email messages. I just want to go back to OS 6.0!!

Same thing for me. I have an iPhone 5 with IOS 6.1 and an iPad I with IOS 5.1.1. My iPhone has also beeng quarantined from synching with our Exchange Server. from our IT person:


Due to a severe problem with Apple's latest IOS version (6.1), we have blocked all devices (IPads, iPhones) using that version from synching with the college's exchange server. The latest update has been reported to loop, eating up server resources at many sites. We have also experienced the same problems here.


The iPad with IOS 5.1.1 has not been blocked.


Any word on a fix? Update?
