IPhone 4s won't restore? Error 1?

So for some reason, my iPhone 4s won't turn on properly. Just to let you know, this a friggin' week old iPhone that I bought through Fido - no jail breaking or any of that stuff.

When I try to turn it on it has a picture of the usb telling me to connect to itunes. When I connect the phone to itunes it says iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.

When I try to restore it, it'll go about 75% of the way through the restore and say, "The iPhone "iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1)."

I get this notification no matter what I do. I've tried doing the whole DFU mode, switching USB ports, updating my computer and my iTunes but nothing is working for me.

Anyone have any idea what to do? Or should I just book a Genius Bar appointment? What do they actually do about it?

My iPhone won't show photos?

I was taking some photos from my iphone camera and once I went to photos, they weren't there. Everything I took before was there, though.

I took about 20 new pics, and in the camera roll it says (1420) but once I press it and all the photos are shown, it says 1400 and the recents are not there.

Does anyone know what could be the cause of this? How to fix it besides resseting the iPhone? (I don't have access to the computer with all my iTunes info.)

Multiple smaller checks to avoid the $1000+ funds availability hold at USAA?

I have USAA and I plan on using the Deposit@Mobile method of depositing with the USAA iPhone app. I want to deposit $1200 on Monday but I need the funds a few hours after I create and scan the checks in. I plan on using two $600 checks to bypass the $1000 funds availability hold regulation (that is federally enforced, to my understanding). Any potential blow back?

How to fix brightness/lighting on a photo?

Well I was taking some photos and of something and when I went and looked at them in my camera roll they were bright for some reason. They look as if I went in and edited all of them and turned the brightness all the way up. It was really weird because they were really good pictures and I don't think I can get the same ones again. Is there a way I can fix the pictures to get their original colors back or a program that could help? I don't know what else to do and these are really important to me. I don't know if this helps but I took them on my iphone 4
