My iTunes closed when i was updating to IOS 7 from my computer, it stopped the process and made me reset my phone to factory settings, i wasn't too mad until my phone turned on and i couldnt get past the 4th step of my phone setup...

Thanks! Oh Apple why not just slowly roll it out across different countries or regions if doing it all at once is too much for the servers.

They tried that once, and people screamed that others got the update and they didn't. And actually, they DO stagger it if you wait until you get notification that the update is available. But people keep checking for update, which adds additional load to the servers.

After about 20-30 tries, I was able to get it verfied. Patiance is a virtue. 🙂

After several failed attempt to verify, I changed from WIFI to to mobile network to connect to the internet and that worked.

They are still having glitches so if you have the iPhone 4 like me I was told to wait until the 21st by my phone company sprint

I tried a bunch of times now it seems to have moved to the next step. Now seeing Apple logo with a status bar moving slowly. This looks promising but who knows.

I downloaded the update and all was fine and I started the install and then I got a frozen sceen telling me to plug into Itunes. When I plugged it in Itune told me I needed a restore. I clicked restore and now it is saying 9 hours. Is this correct? Am I doing something wrong? This is so frustrating

So, I am having the exact same issue as the original poster did. Before I did the upgrade, i synched and attempted a manual synch with iCloud. Then I did the upgrade and had the exact experience the original poster did: ("..plugged my iPhone 4 into my computer to connect it to iTunes. It alerted me that I had an update to download (7.0.2). I did so, after restarting the device automatically, it failed to come back up. It is now stuck on the "Connect to iTunes" screen, the cable => iTunes icon. Connecting to iTunes doesnt even recgonize the device. It doesnt popup in iTunes at all for me to be able to select a restore option. Windows hears the device connect to the OS. ")

Once i realized i had no option but to do a restore, i checked out my iCloud folder to see if everything was in there.. and no, it wasn't. About 3 weeks of pics are missing and there are zero videos in there. I have a lot currently saved on my phone because my PC has been crashing frequently when I try to pull large files off the phone and onto my external HD... just haven't had time to figure that out and now I am scared to do a factory reset and lose all my pics and videos.

Can anyone advise how to finish this upgrade without losing everything on my phone? or at least how to unlock the phone and get it past the "Connect to iTunes" screen with the cable => iTunes icon? then I can at least limp through getting the stuff off hte phone before I put it back to factory..

Thanks in advance!

The new iOS keeps crashing on my ipad 2 and it has slowed the system way way down so that it much less responsive. I hate it and want the old iOS back or at least one which is less glitchy.

Downgrading - just in case you haven't actually read the posts in the thread before responding - is not supported. And a change in Apple's policy on this has about as much chance of occuring as a snowball in ****.

If you would posts a more detailed description of the issues you are having, someone may be able to assist.
