Q: My iPhone 4 stuck in the "connect to iTunes" screen after trying to update to iOS 7

Hey guys.

So i have a pretty big problem here. Today after a little bit of work I updated my iPhone 4 to the new iOS 7. I went to bathroom at some point, while my phone was updating, and when i returned the screen of iPhone showed the "connect to iTunes screen" and no matter what I did, it just stayed there. iTunes doesn't recognize my phone anymore, doesn't matter how many time I plug it in and out. I tried this thing: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 ,but it did not worked. I tried reinstalling my iTunes, but it did not work either. If the little things matter I left "lauch iTunes" box unchecked after reinstallation, and did not restart my computer. Any help apriciated guys, im desperet here.

iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.1

YESSSSSSS HUGE PROBLEM!

Iphone 4 downloaded ios 7 i hit the install button and the phone entered recovery mode and hasnt woke up since, tried tiny umberella and it wont kick it out of recovery mode. Itunes recognizes it in recovery mode, hit update restore, after the update nothing pops up or happens, and right back to square one like i never even updated or restored.

Hey "Anks", the final solution for me was, connecting it to another stationary pc. I don't know why, but it actually goes trought, I've heard this from lot's of people, not just me, so there you have it, that simple.

Hope I could help. :)
