Hi everyone,
Tonight I backed up my Iphone 4S because I had a ton of stuff on there I wanted to keep in case I ever lost it or dropped it in the water. I backed it up following the itunes instructions on Itunes and it said completed. Once I finished, Itunes told me I needed to update the software on the phone. I proceeded to do so however when it finised, the phone rebooted and opened with a connector cable pointing to itunes symbol on the screen. When I then replugged the phone into itunes it prompted me "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." Reading other posts I figured I would give it a try considering I had just done a backup, however it said that the restore would set it back to factory settings and i would lose everything. At this point I looked through my computer to make sure I at least had the backed up files but I cannot find them.
Now I figured whatever I wont reset it, but event rebooting the phone brings me back to the same screen with no option to do anything else.
How do I fix this? The whole point was to save my stuff just in case and Im afraid that the backup and update itself are what will delete all my stuff. Is there anything I can do?
Thank alot for your help!!
