Should I go to apple or cut losses?

I pirate music and my MacBook air has officially died out on me. My iphone 5 also has suffered some damage. I've heard that pirating music can get some nasty viruses on an iPhone. I did some research and read that it was virtually impossible to get a virus on an iPhone. I've also heard that pirating music can lead to your phone number getting leaked to different places which would explain random phone calls I get from places I've never been to. I restored my iPhone 5 to set it up to a different laptop and it didn't work. The phone shows up on the computer and chargers and does that stuff with picture imports but doesn't show up on iTunes. I read something in apples FAQ section with a guy who had a similar problem and another guy who couldn't seem to figure it out. So I'm wondering if I should go to an Apple Store and seek help, or wait for a phone upgrade and go from there

You could go to Apple and see what they have to say. You won't be forced to make any purchases!

Here is how to restore your iPhone…
