IPhone 4S won't charge and won't connect to iTunes?

I have a white iPhone 4S, and after getting the iOS 7 update, nothing seems to be going right.

My phone recently died completely. It shut off unexpectedly as it always does when it's completely drained. Yesterday evening, at around 8:00 P. M., I connected it to my computer as I always do to charge it. It told me it was charging, but around 1:00 A. M. I checked to see if I could turn it on yet, and it still said it was drained. Once again, I waited. 1:00 P. M. Today. Still says it's charging, still says it's drained. I searched the Apple Support/FAQ and it told me to put it into recovery mode. This DID NOT work! And when I went to be connected to customer service via chat, it asked for my serial number, but I can't get it without turning my phone on, and that's the reason I'm going to Apple Support in the first place!

Keep in mind this is maybe one or two days after I updated my iPhone 4S and got iOS 7.

It also does not show up on iTunes, so I can't attempt to back it up or anything.

Could I have broken my phone with this update?

Your serial number is engraved on the sim card tray… Call tech support.

  • My iPhone 4S won't charge, but will connect to itunes? Since yesterday my phone will connect to my computer and wall outlets but will not charge. It keeps making the 'connect' noise, and that's it. The phone does show up on my computer like I said, and I can manage, sync and restore. I tried a restoration on the phone and it's still doing the same thing. If anyone could please help I'd greatly appreciate it.
  • IPhone won't turn on/charge/connect to iTunes? The inside of my iPhone 4 screen cracked so the phone is worthless. But today my phone must have died while in my pocket. And it now won't turn on or charge and it won't connect to iTunes. Is there anyway I can sort this out? I'm getting a new phone, but I don't want all my photos to be lost.
