Lost all my contacts, notes, photos etc. Called Apple and they asked if I have a Firewall (who doesn't these days??) and had to turn it off so Itunes could communicate with the phone. After the Sync.....still no contacts, notes or pics. The Apple tech actually said "this has been a frequesnt problem with Firewalls.....the upgrade is INTERRUPTED by the firewall and isn't able to complete the restore, and you lose the contacts, notes pics etc." WHAT???????? Apple is AWARE of this problem and doesn't WARN or NOTIFY the user when they are attempted to upgrade the software to turn of your firewall temporarlily so you don't lose your data!!!!!!!!!!!   Nice Apple.......appreciate it.

Do you know what 'bricked' means? If you can get back via a factory reset, it isn't bricked. And of course, with a factory reset, you can just restore from the backup you did just before the upgrade. You'd have to pretty retarded to end up with any serious issues. No iPhone for you. Sheez. Do you know what ‘bricked’ means? If you can get back via a factory reset, it isn’t bricked.
