Help. Updated to ios7 and itunes 11.1 but now I'm stuck on the 'connect to itunes' screen

I backed up my phone on itunes before I began this process. I downloaded itunes 11.1  While downloading ios7 I had an error message which was likely due to the limited memory space available on my laptop..(I cleaned some stuff up and it downloaded)  When I plugged my phone back in it said it was in recovery mode.  I restored my phone and saw that all my apps and music loaded.  Then it synced.  I tried to swipe the "hello" screen but was taken to the choices:
1. Set up as new iphone  2.  restore from icloud backup  3.  restore from itunes back up.        I have never done an icloud backup and I DID do an itunes backup today so I selected option 3.  This is where I'm stuck.  It says "connected to itunes' and won't let me do anything else. 
(I have restarted my computer, restarted the phone, did the recovery/hold the button down thing, restored it to another point from today etc...)
Any suggestions would be appreciated ..need phone tomorrow!!

    My phone is doing the same thing. My computer acknowledges that I have connected my iPhone 4, however, iTunes will no longer connect or sync to my iPhone 4. I have uninstalled iTunes, Bonjour and all Apple products from my pc. I have re-installed them back on. I have reset my phone. I have emptied my temp folder. I have done everything. If my iPhone cannot update and sync with iTunes then I may as well get another phone from somewhere else. I am disappointed that I cannot resolve this issue.
    Rebeccaspe31, were you able to resolve your issue? If so how?

  • Hi! I download the new update for my iPod on my pc but now it's stuck on the recovery mode! No jailbreak. I don't want to restore it because I'll loose all of my photos... HELP

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    I have an old iphone 2g/3g.  However I dont use it as a phone but as an ipod. Since its the oldest version, I tried updating it to the newest version that all the iphones seem to have. I tried to restore it but now it's stuck on the connect to itunes menu. An error appeared with the error #: 1015. What should I do. Getting a new one is not the answer Im looking for. What should I do?

    The 3G stops at iOS 4.2.1 does not support abve that level .
    Nothing you can do

  • I started doing the Ios6 update on the Ipad 2 and had to restore but now it is stuck on the apple screen. I have tried to reset the Ipad.

    I Sarted doing the update through WIFI and it asked me to connect to Itunes which I have done. Then it said I needed to restore the I pad which I clicked to do, it went through all the motions then cam up with an error message on the laptop. Now all I can get is the apple on the screen like when you switch it on or off. I have tried holding the power and home buttons to restart the Ipad but it goes black then comes back to the apple?

    Your options depend on which MacBook you have and the version of OS X installed.

  • I did a reset on my iphone 4 now it's stuck on the connect to itunes screen.. I've tried EVERYTHING. please HELP!!!

    I did a reset on my iphone 4.. now it's stuck on the connect to itunes screen.. I have tried EVERY troubleshooting thing on the apple site. I've reinstalled to a later date of itunes. I've rebooted.. please HELP!! iTunes stopped recognising my iPhone after I undated hence the reverte back to an older iTunes version. My phone's cord is fine it will charge in the wall on the dock as well iTunes just isn't recognising it?!?!

    iTunes will also NOT recognize my iPod Touch.. I've reinstalled iTunes several times on all THREE of my computers to the same result.. I'm going insane.. The newest iTunes has made it a real hassle!! Before I updated my iTunes both connected just FINE!! Now neither my computers (3 of them) or iTunes will recognize the iphone4, or the iPod Touch. The threads that people are posting to go back to the SAME 6 troubleshooting steps aren't really helping. ANYONE else had the same problem but was able to resolve?? A little desperate here!! HELP!!

  • I purchased an unlocked iPhone 4S from US and returned to india,but now I can't activate the phone.

    I purchased an unlocked iPhone 4S from US and returned to india,but now I can't activate the phone. Called up the apple support team in India they said it is already unlocked from AT&T. What am I suppose to do ?
    Previously my iTunes was showing the phone and summary etc etc. The India Support center asked me to upgrade it to 5.1.1 then the new sim will be recognised, but now nothing is happening, even iTunes is not showing the Summary page.
    Please suggest?
    I never expected apple stuff to be like this.

    Got an (unlocked) iphone 4s from US
    As kb1951 states, unless this phone was purchased directly from Apple, it is not officially unlocked. In the US, only Apple sells officially unlocked iPhones. The message you got generally means your phone was hacked to unlock it...jailbroken...Apple's servers have detected such & are preventing your phone from activating...there's nothing wrong with the activation servers.
    You'll need a sim card from the carrier your phone is locked to in order to activate it. If you don't know what carrier, you'll have to call AppleCare in the US to determine this info. Be aware, US carriers will not authorize official unlocking unless you are a customer that used the phone on their network. Thus, there is most likely no way for you to get this phone officially unlocked.
    Good luck.

  • Updated to ios7 and iTunes 11.1, Music won't play or Error sign ! when clicked on

    After updating my ios and itunes my music on my ipod will not play and an error sign ! shows up to the left of every song when clicked to play. Also when i undock the ipod it would show that all my music is gone! But when i redock the ipod it shows that all the music is still there! This is really frustraing to me because i have spent countless hours organizing my playlist and it would take about the same amount of time to redo them. Please Help!

    all my albums are now in the itunes library but even that isn't making any diffrence, spent a good few hours yesterday reinstalling my music...just a waste of time, same thing happened. will keep you posted if i find any answers

  • Updated to ios7 and iTunes 11.1, Music won't play/phone won't sync

    I updated my iPhone 4s to ios7 today. I updated itunes to itunes 11.1 so I could sync it (on a toshibia pc running windows vista).
    Ever since the update, my Iphone won't play music that I haven't purchased off the itunes store, even though it does appear on my phone, and my itunes has been stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied" and won't finish the section of the sync.
    What should I do?
