You are in Recovery Mode.
You need to connect to iTunes and restore.
Hopefully you have a backup.

Stuck how ? What is showing on the iPad's screen, and/or in iTunes on your computer ?
If the iPad won't start up then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -

so it is trying to make me give credit card information to make an apple id but im trying to pick none but it dont say none what can i do
Either add or credit card or
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

i tried updating my ipod, and then it turned off, and then just said connect to itunes, and when i did, it said i had to restore it. so, i restored it, and it did nothing and still said connect to itunes. help?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

or
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 If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue.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 forgot my password to my ipod touch and locked it out. It told me to connect to iTunes and I did. I put it in recoery mode and started the 5 hour download of the restoring process. I tried it many times it always ends up stopping and an error occurs. Now iTunes is telling me I have to put in my password for my ipod before iTunes can use it and recognize it. But my ipod is still telling me to connect it to iTunes and I just want to restore my ipod.
Try Recovery Mode a few more times.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times. -
I found an iphone 4 and i reset it everything went good. It told me to connect to itunes so i did (via windows 8) but it could not recognize it. Please help
I hope if I ever lose my phone that you find it snozdop and not ajackson15. Maybe ajackson15 will lose something of his/hers and then not get it back

my kids entered the passcode several times wrong and now it is disabled and written on it"connect to itunes" , when i did connect it to itunes it said "can not connect to ipad because it is locked with a passcode" what can i do pls?
You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/resync your content to it.
If you do it via a different computer that it's not normally synced to then (from here) :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. -
I have been without mu IPhone 4 since yesterday now as I tried to do the IOS6 update and since then it has messed up my phone and I am unable to access any of it's functions as it is locked on the update screen.
My phone was bought through Vodfone and have been on their network ever since, never had any problems like this.
It prompts me to connect to ITunes and when I do it will not go any further as stating 'No sim card is inserted in the IPhone you are trying to activate'. Well there is a sim in there and I have removed it and reinserted it on many occasions today. I am also not trying to activate my phone as all I did was try to the update which I was prompted to do in my setting!
I have seen many people on the net today with the same or similar problems but as yet I am to find a solution!
Help, please as it is driving me crazy!!!Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message. -

I use Apple iphone 3GS 16 gb
Model No: A1303 FCC ID:BCGA1303A IC ID:579C-A1303A
Serial No: 86******YNP
Please resolve my problem i am very worry about my ipone
Regards,
Ahmad Salman.
<Edited by Host>Sounds like your iPhone was hacked to work with other than
the original cellular provider and the update relocked the iPhone
to that provider. You must contact that provider to see if they
offer unlocking and if you qualify. Only the cellular provider to
which the iPhone is locked can unlock it.
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
Where/how did you acquire this iPhone? Who is your wireless
provider?
Not wise to post your Serial Number in the clear - I have asked
the hosts to remove it. -

HELP!!! I need to update to 2.0 but I dont want to lose my text messages...
I need to update my iPhone original 16 gb to the 2.0 software version but I cannot lose the text messages that are on the phone now. I have a few vital text messages that I cannot lose because I need them for court. The problem is, I need to do a screen print of them so I can email them to myself & then print them out. I need to update the iPhone in order to do the screen print, so i'm at a loss of what to do.
Does anyone know anything about if I will lose the text messages for sure or not? I have read a few posts about people who have lost their info, but it sounds like they are just a select few. If it's not a definite, i'll just go ahead, cross my fingers, & update the phone.
Please, any information about this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance....2.0 is a couple of updates ago. We are on 2.1 now. You shouldn't lose anything. I never have.
