ITune keeps asking me to restore IPhone 4 after error in updating OS 5.0.1

My IPhone 4 froze while updating to OS 5.0.1. I guess this was because I updated ITune first and without restart Windows 7 I atttempted to update IPhone. I got an error message code "1603" So I push Power button and Home button at the same time to return from the freeze. And, restarted the Windows.

 

After rebooting, I connected my IPhone to the PC, ITune promted and asked me restore it with options 1: restore from backup and 2: restore as a new phone. At that time ITune did not recognize my IPhone to be the Apple device that it synced all the time. Because I afraid to lose any data in IPhone, I chose " Option 1: restore from Backup. Succefully, I got all data: photos, email message and contacts, but music and apps are gone from my IPhone.

 

So I reconnected my IPhone to the PC. Then ITune asked me to restore it again and again.

 

Currently, ITune library contains my apps and songs. All I want to do is let ITune to recognize my IPhone and sync with IPhone so my IPhone gets the apps and song again.

 

Please help me. Is it OK to choose "Option 2: restore as a new phone"? Will it erase all apps and songs in ITune Library or transfer them into IPhone?

 

Thanks,

I am having a very similar issue with my iPhone 4s.  I switched it out at the apple store today, plugged it in (OSX) and restored it from my backup.  The restore went fine, but instead of giving me access to the options, it wants me to restore it again, and again...

Yes same problem here.  I have a 3GS iPhone. My IPhone 4 froze while updating to OS 5.0.1. I accidentally updated ITunes while I attempted to update the iPhone.  The iPhone froze, so I've rebooted everything.  The backup procedure did brought the iPhone back to life.  But now I cannot use it with iTunes on my computer anymore.  It keeps asking me to Set Up My iPhone by Restoring from a backup.  I did this about 15 times now.  Nothing helps.  I can no longer move items between my iTunes on my computer and my iPhone.  Thanks for any advise.

After the restore is finished, it will sync with your iTunes library and transfer all apps, music and media to the phone.  You do lose all saved app data and the organization of the app icons you may have done.
