HT4528 How do I get my iPhone 4 to get the screen from being frozen on the "Connect to iTunes" and to be recognized by my iTunes?

Alright, so what had happend to cause this, let me just sum it up for you in the steps I took.
Turn on iTunes.
Plug iPhone into the laptop in order to be recognized by iTunes.
Start to update the phone onto iOS7.
Message pops up saying I have to download latest version of iTunes.
Download iTunes update.
Try again to download iOS7 update onto the phone.
Says that it'll take around 2 hours to complete, so I wait.
After about 45 minutes to an hour later, it says that there was an error that had occured.
Screen on the iPhone remains stuck now on the part where it says "Preparing the download..."
After another hour or so it then switches onto the "Connect to iTunes" screen and remains there.
iTunes isn't recognizing that I'm plugging it in.
Already tried troubleshooting it with my laptop and it said that both "Apple Mobile Device Drivers weren't responding."
Decide to look more into it and find out that in order to fix that problem, I'd have to uninstall iTunes (in a specific order at that)
After uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, I plug the phone back into my laptop, and now it's making the noise that I'm plugging it in, but it still isn't showing up onto iTunes.
So there you have it. I really hope that this gives you any insight as to what my situation is at hand. So... Please help? :/

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I had been looking in e-mail accounts and there was no sent folder. However, your email prompted me to check again just now and the sent folder has reappeared and the last message I just sent a few minutes ago is in there. Thank you. I guess after re-establishing the account it just takes a couple of hours?

That's what backups are for. Use Time Machine. It's free and external drives are cheap. To recover your iPhone's content requires the use of third party utilities. Success is not guaranteed. Read:

I have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

IPod Touch 64GB activated October 2013 - how do I get the free iLife, iPhoto and iMovie apps?

I purchased (from an authorised seller - Dixons Duty Free, Heathrow) and activated an iPod Touch 64GB on 18th October 2013 (prior to the announcement of free iLife, iPhoto and iMovie apps but after the 1st Sepember 2013 date in their conditions). It had iOS6 preinstalled. I've updated to iOS7. How do I get the free iLife, iPhoto and iMovie apps? The App Store is trying to charge me for theese.

Problem solved from information found in another thread....
If your iOS device was activated for the first time after September 1, go to the App Storeon your iPod which should open to Featured. If not, tap on Featured at the lower left of the screen & scroll down to Collections & tap on New to the App Store? then scroll down to Apps Made by Apple & tap. You should now see the iWork & iLife apps as "FREE."

You must put each device on the Verizon cloud.
Not both lines on one.
Go and set up a my Verizon account for the second line and you will have Verizon cloud service on that line.
Oh the term "icloud" is a trademark of Apple Inc. Verizon is not Apple.
Good Luck

When I select a title in the iTunes Store and click on Play in iTunes I am sent to the download page for iTunes 10 which I have already. The selected title cannot be found anywhere in my iTunes. How can I get the title in iTunes with possibility to buy it

The issue is that your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside in order to purchase iTunes content.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location. You can use the iTunes Store in all countries of which you’re a resident, but you’ll either need a separate iTunes Store account for each one, or you’ll need to continually be switching the billing information on your single account. Generally, it’s simpler just to set up an alternative account for these situations, although it’s worth nothing that features like iTunes in the CLoud and iTunes Match are designed to work best when using a single iTunes Store account, as you can only switch accounts with these services every 90 days."

All of the media on your 3G should also be in the iTunes library on your computer.
Simply sync it to your iPhone4.

In Snow Leopard you update Java from Software Update (in the Apple menu). You can check your version by opening Terminal and typing
java -version
(don't get creative and type anything else)
The latest version is 1.6.0_65.

You should be able to control the function that the side switch isn't controlling via the left-hand end of the taskbar : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085 - is the icon that appears there (notification mute or rotation lock) indicating that that function is 'off' ?

Whenever i open certain apps i get the connect to itunes for push notifications over and over again and im unable to play the game, how do i fix this?

hey guys i have a question,
so i have the same problem for two of my apps, one is biike race, and the other game is snap chat. so each time i open one of these games i repeatedly get the "connect to itunes for push notifications" box coming up, and im unable to play the game, and i have to click my home button multiple times to get back to the main screen. i dont understand why this is happening and maybe you could help me out.

There are a few other threads in this forum regarding this issue. It appears to me that this was once an issue with the iPhone, but has now started up again after the upgrade to iOS 4. My iPod Touch is ~ 2 years old and has had absolutely no problems. It is not jailbroken or altered in any way.
This pop-up started for me after upgrading to iOS 4. I did the restore to factory, reinstalled my apps and the problem returned. It appears my push notifications are working, which is good, but I have to click through the pop-up every time I enter an app that uses notifications.
This will go away when Apple fixes it.

Hello Alex_boi941,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I'm sorry to hear that your iPhone's power button is not functioning correctly. To be able to get full functionality of your phone, it would need to be repaired.
