iOS 7.1.1 New Update Problems!

I have just updated my iPhone 5s and iPad 4. My iPad is working fine but my iPhone isn't. It just comes up with a picture that shows that I should connect it to iTunes on my laptop. I have done that and now it is telling me to reset and restore my iPhone before I can use it on iTunes. iTunes is updating the software onto my iPhone via my laptop but it is taking hours. I wouldn't recomend anyone to update to this new software because is seems to work for some people but not others.


Nothing is working and I don't know what to do!


Is anyone else having the same problem?


Does anyone know how to fix it?

Apple have done it again. Update caused my iPAD4 into recovery mode.


Will lose lots of work and precious photos.


Why won't Apple test these updates properly? Provide health warnings?


This is incredibly frustrating. I have bought 4 iPads for my household - are the rest in line for the same dangerous update? Is there any possible way of getting photos and other important docs of the iPad4 before the recovery?

Yes, I back up every day through iCloud, or rather, it does it every day automatically. What's the problem? If you think that your data is important, and it does it for you without you even thinking about it, then why is that so strange? If you lost your phone today, then you would be glad that it was backed up last night.

Back up my personal data/docs to the cloud? Are you serious? Do you have any idea about security/privacy implications?


Why would anyone trust their personal data to a vendor who has no accountability for your private data and who can access that data at any time beyond your control?


iCloud is fine for worthless information but you should never entrust personal/ private docs/ data to anyone other than yourself. As a Cyber Security/ Cyber warfare Professional I suppose I get to access and understand the security weaknesses of cloud products- and what I see on a regular basis is alarming.


Whist frequent backups are always important, perhaps Apple can pay closer attention to quality control. If Apple put as much effort into quality control on IOS updates as they do to selling the lightest and thinest handheld/tablet device, then we would not be having this discussion.
