HT1212 "iphone is disabled, connect to itunes". I cannot get anything to work. Help!

I have tried to restore my iphone and nothing works! It starts the process for about 15 minutes then the phone goes back to the message "iphone is disabled, connect to itunes". I cannot get anything to work. Help! I am so frustrated with our iphones, that I am ready to switch to different phones for my entire family. Please help!!!

Did you check your security software settings, to make sure iTunes can contact Apple servers during the restore process?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • Iphone 4s disabled, connect to itunes not working

    My mother in law gave my son her iphone 4s, however she left the password on it. My son tried entering random number (instead of asking what the code was), and now the iphone is locked with message "iphone is disabled connect to itunes". I've tried resetting and restarting the phone with no luck. It was never connected to itunes before, she didn't use icloud, and she never had it set to find her iphone so those options are out. I've tried putting it in recovery mode whole connected to itunes, downloaded the updates, and all looks great, until i get a message that it can not finish as iphone is passlocked. I'm stuck in a never-ending loop. Can I fix it from home or must I drive all the way to the apple store? Thanks

    Read: iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled and use the info in the Use Recovery Mode section.

  • "iPhone is disabled connect to iTunes" "no SIM"

    I have an iPhone 3 that a friend let me have, it's been sitting in his car for a while and said he wasn't sure if it even worked. I charged it, it does work, but when I turn it on the skreen says "iPhone is disabled connect to iTunes" on the top of the screen. With that on the top left hand side of the screen if says "no SIM". The only action that this divise allows me to do is to make emergency calls. What the heck do I do? help pleas.

    You need to have a SIM card in the phone to activate it.

    my iphone it lock . it says iphone is disable connect to itunes. i cunnected to itunes but it asking me for the serial number i dont know where to fine the serial number

    What phone do you have?  4, 4s, 5?
    You can find the serial number by sticking a paper clip in the little hole you see on the right hand side of your phone and popping out the sim card tray.  Once you see the sim card tray the IMEI number and serial number will be written on the tray.

  • HT1430 Iphone is disabled  connect to itunes, how to unlock my passcode?

    I can't open my iPhone with my new passcode. It says: iPhone is disabled connect to itunes.

    In the start of your question you said that the iPhone screen was locked with the text ‘‘iPhone is disabled connect to itunes’’. You had no way possible to even enter a code even if did have a correct code.
    You were in effect locked out.
    BUT after AndreweBens suggestion your screen did change to... SIM Locked. Insert a valid SIM with no PIN lock to activate iPhone. with a large button saying Unlock.
    After pressing Unlock i get a screen that says...
    Enter PIN 3 attempts remaining.
    So.... IF you now can remember your pin, write it in here now.
    IF you can not wremember the old code, then write anything in till it locks again.
    once locked again, you should be able to enter your PUK code and get in. but whats your PUK code and where did you keep it? this you can get from your telephone company i think.
    I hope this helps
    its a bit tricky to remember correctly what the screens say in this situation but i think i am right in saying it goas like this.
    once in you can then restore from your back up. urrrgh i think.
