I also got that message right at the end and I think it's because your phone is sitting there at the screen where you have to double tap to start the final stage of the update and at that point iTunes can't connect to your phone because your phone is still not ready.

Help! I have now done two upgrades through iTunes on my Mac. And each time, I got a very scary message about how iTunes was unable to connect because of the device giving an inappropriate response, or words very close to that. In both cases, I could restart my phone, and everything was fine. But I would really like to know what was up with that scary response. Since it happened more than once, I don't think it was a fluke. In both instances, I had backed up the phone or the iPad, and the backups were encrypted, and everything was done according to the book so to speak.
