IPhone is locked on Connect To iTunes screen.

Extremly frustrating, I was just simply updating my phone to the new OS, and suddenly comes up with an error message, and me in my all infinite wisdom, ignore it and continued. And boom, iPhone 4 locked curretly on the Connect To iTunes. I don't know if the iPhone is being sarcastic and trolling me, since it's not even reconsied on the computer at all, not even as a connected device, Comes up with the USB sound..but nothing is showing. Yes, I've reset it, held down the power button, held down the home button, connected it on and off, switched USB cables, powered it up, reset iTunes, checked if the Apple Mobile was current, reset that, tried to update that, reset computer once again, tried to reset it again, held down the home button while connected for another 30 minutes..and nothing!! Fuming so hard now. I doubt i'd get a new one, and I booked a callback which will cost me a mint most likely and probably wont even fix it.
Sigh
Any tips guys? Sorry for the rant. It's just really upsetting.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • My iphone 4s has the connect to itunes screen. I have tried to reset, recover, etc but I keep getting and error-51 message. Any ideas how I can get my phone working again? I am not worried about saving any info just having a phone to use!

    I was in the middle of the iOS 8 update and tried to turn my phone off (yes, I realize this was dumb) But what happened was it tried to reset. Now,  my iphone 4s has the connect to itunes screen. I have tried to reset, recover, etc but I keep getting and error -51 message. Any ideas how I can get my phone working again? I am not worried about saving any info just having a phone to use!

    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.

    Delete the .ipsw file on the computer.
    Put the device in DFU mode.
    Restore as new, once the restore completes, then try restoring from backup.

  • IPhone 4 Stuck on 'Connect to iTunes' screen.

    I.. was kinda trying to get rid of the iOS 7 update files which were automatically downloaded to my iPhones following this discussion page: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5379403?start=0&tstart=0
    Following the instructions posted there, I managed to get rid of about 3GBs of the iOS 7 files out of my iPhone 5.
    What I followed was nzzzzz's 'Method B'
    Method B: Open Settings->General->Software Update, Click "Install Now". There will be a prompt says "Verifying update...", Wait until this prompt disappear, there will be a spinning wheel on the black background. Immediately press and hold both of the power and home buttons at the same time. DO NOT release the power and home buttons for about 10 seconds. Your device will reboot. It's done. The automatically downloaded firmware will have been deleted. Now read part 1 to prevent automatically downloading in the future.
    However, when I tried it again on my iPhone 4, it's now stuck on 'Connect to iTunes' screen.
    No DFU modes or recovery modes seemed to be working, so I gave up and decided to restore & upgrade to iOS 7.
    Then there was another problem, iTunes 'did' recognize the device as in 'recovery mode', downloaded the 7.0.3 update file, and tried to restore the device... but it got me 'error 9134'.
    I followed the instructions on forums and discussion pages, and even called the Apple Care Services for technical support... but nothing worked. Nothing.
    All those 'hosts' file edit and iTunes removal(and other following services) + download/install to the latest iTunes did not work on me, and now the device is 'just stuck on Connect to iTunes' screen.
    Any suggestions..?
    (BTW, English is not my native language, so if there's anything that cannot be understood, tell me)
    + Thanks in advance
    Additional info:
    iPhone 5: Tried to remove the iOS 7.0.3 files on iOS 6.1.4
    iPhone 4: Tried to remove the iOS 7.0.3 files on iOS 6.1.3

    Windows 7, iTunes v 11.0.4.4 (The computer that successfully factory-resetted my old iPhone 4S and iPhone 4. The same computer that's not working with the same iPhone 4 now.)
    Plus, my iPhone 4 is not backed up... not even in iCloud I think... There are some old pictures I'd like to keep, but almost forgot to get them out since I bought 5 a few weeks ago. I was using the iPhone 4 for the TV cable with the 30-pin connector.

    Hi, I solved this problem on my iPad.
    First I followed the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4097?viewlocale=en_US  and recovered the iPad. iPad turns empty like new.
    Then I followed the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414?viewlocale=en_US (Option: Restoring your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) and restored my iPad from a previous backup from iTunes.
    When the backup restore was finished, many apps were missing on my iPad. I synchronized it again with iTunes (it took a while although I don't have many apps) and everything was back exactly as before.
    I don't know what caused the problem in the first place, being stuck in the iTunes USB screen, but it seems to be solved now. I will anyway try to always remember to close all apps and not leave them running in background. Maybe my iPad got confused?
    Regards

  • IPhone 3GS stuck on "connect to itunes" screen

    I've just reset my old iPhone 3GS so that I can use it as a PAYG phone for my dad. It cleared everything down ok and set itself up as a new clean iPhone install with the PAYG sim card and worked fine.  In iTunes I logged in to an account I set up for him and all was good - it found the phone, recognised it as my old one and gave me the option to set it up as a new one which I did, again all fine. 
    Then I went to update the iOS to the latest version, but after it tried to to install it there was an error and the iPhone is now stuck on the "connect to itunes" screen. However, neither iTunes nor my PC will recognise the phone for me to restore it or do anything else with it.  I've tried the holding down the home button whilst connecting it to USB idea but no luck.
    Any tips?

    Sorry, I can't remember what the error was, I don't remember there being an error number. It was along the lines that iTunes had been unable to update the OS. I only noticed that the iphone had frozen after clicking OK.
    The phone is stuck on the "connect to iTunes" screen. Even trying the restore options above, I don't get a red swipe and trying the alternatives still doesn't help. I've rebooted my computer and you can hear the USB recognising it's got a new item plugged in, but iTunes still won't find it.

  • IPhone 4S stuck in connect to iTunes screen, iTunes can't detect it

    I tried restoring my iPhone and my computer froze during the restoration. the iPhone is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen and isn't recognized by the computer when I plug it in.
    What can I do to fix it? I'll definitely be needing my phone in the next few days and need it fixed ASAP!
    Can anyone help me please??

    yes, just to say a big thank you to Apple ...realizing today while browsing these forums that I haven't been the only one. Happened to me when I updated from 8.1.2 to 8.1.3 OTA... device (iPhone 4s) stuck in recovery mode ... how nice, this has never ever happened to me after years of using iOS, whether I updated OTA or via iTunes, never. I was then delighted to experience the restore process ... wasted hours doing that thanks again ! (I have many apps and a big backup so...). Seriously, this is unacceptable.

  • Iphone 3gs stuck on connect to Itunes screen. HELP

    Hello. Okay well I just bought an Iphone 3gs from a woman on Craig's list. She told me the phone was working perfectly fine. And when I tested it out, it was.
    HERE'S THE PROBLEM
    I got the phone home and while looking through it to make sure it was totally empty it shut off and now will not turn back on. The only screen it goes to it the connect to Itunes screen. I have tried to restore the phone many many times. I get error 28, 29, or 2009 every single time. I have read at least 50 post and other people's fixes for this and nothing has worked. My question is does anyone know if there is a way to get this phone to work again or should I sell it on Ebay for parts? Any thoughts would be very appreciated. Thanks.

    Try recovery mode >  iOS: Unable to update or restore

    That doesn't give us much to go on since we have no way of knowing what you have tried that didn't work.

  • IPhone 4 stuck on "connect to iTunes" screen after update uo iOS7

    Hey guys.

I tried it all, recovery mode, DFU mode, re-installing iTunes, installing older version of iTunes, restarting pc, unpluging and so on.. nothing, just nothing, iTunes doesn't recognize it. You can hear only the beep sound when u plug in, and then it stays in "connect to iTunes" screen. My iPhone isn't jailbroken, if someone asks. PLEASE help guys, really desperete here, don't know what do really any more. Any help apriciated.

    Hey corubathedog,
    It sounds like your iPhone was kicked into recovery mode, which I understand can be very frustrating. However, the following article will help to resolve this issue:
