IPhone4S: tried to update to iOS6 and now will only show "connect to iTunes" screen

I've got an iPhone4S and tried to update to iOS6 via iTunes.  While installing, a message came up on my computer saying that "iOS6 could not be installed due to an unknown reason" (I'm paraphrasing b/c I didn't write it down, figuring that I could just re-do it).  Ever since that message came up, neither iTunes or my computer recognizes that the phone is plugged in.  Also the phone sceen is stuck on the "connect to iTunes" screen, which displays the USB cable with an arrow pointing to an iTunes logo.  I've done the 10 seconds reset, updated iTunes, etc., and everything else that the iPhone troubleshooting suggests.  Nothing is working, and my phone is totally un-usable.  PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks!

1)I tried tinyumbrella. But it stills stucks in Recorvery Loop.
2)Tried also using DFU mode buty tinyumbrella isn't detecting the device in DFU mode.
3)I also tried iRecovery and results are same.
4)Is there anyother way to break the recovery loop as i don't have any backup for my device.

  • 8Gb Touch 2nd gen problem. Only showing connect to iTunes screen and not letting me past that as I have a password - Already reset and it just loops back to the same screen with the same problem

    I have an iPod Touch 8GB 2nd gen and it's only showing connect to iTunes screen and not letting me past that as I have a password - Already reset and it just loops back to the same screen with the same problem.
    Any idea what I can do to fix this?

    you can connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode:
    Hold down the Home button and the Power button simutaneously, until the screen goes black and the device turns off.
    Now let go of the Power button, but continue to hold the Home button. Your iPod Touch/iPhone should have turned off and the screen should not be on.
    After around ~10-20 seconds, you will hear a noise (beep/ding) from your CPU as if it had just recognized a new hardware device
    and restore it to default settings, in order to remove your password (or just remove your password directly from the iPod touch, in order to sync with iTunes)

    First see if placing the iPod in Recovery Mode will allow a restore.
    Next try DFU mode and restore.

    If you want to solve your problems, unjailbreak. And don't do it again, because jailbreaking causes problems as you read about in that article. You can try Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • I updated to ios6 and now I can't connect to internet...need help!

    I updated my ipod touch 4th gen. to ios6 and now I can't get it to connect to the internet.  I'm not sure what to do.  I have typed in the correct server name and password yet it still says "unable to connect."  Does anyone know what I can do?

    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 iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I tried to update my iPod and now it won't register on iTunes?

    I updated my iTunes to the latest version and then plugged in my iPod and it said an update was available so I downloaded it. iTunes backed up my iPod then prepared to instal the update, but then it wouldn't register my iPod anymore. My iPod just has the connect to iTunes screen, I can't use it at all.
    I've tried the steps on the Apple website like turning things off and on, starting iPod in restore mode, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, using a different cord and different USB ports...nothing has worked. My computer makes a sound when I connect it to the computer but my iPod isn't detected at all.
    Is there anything else I can do or has my iPod officially died for some reason???

  • After downloading IOS 5.1.1 new iPad only shows connect to iTunes screen- computer does not recognize iPad now

    Against my better judgement, I let iTunes update my ipad with the 5.1.1 IOS.  After the download was complete, the iPad showed the Connect to Itunes screen and the device wasn't showing in my iTunes so I unplugged the USB.  Now the iPad is stuck on the Connect to iTunes screen.  I have tried doing the system restore trick, and that looks like it works when the Apple logo shows up, but right after that it goes back to the Connect to iTunes screen.  I tried just plugging it back into my computer and connecting it to iTunes but now neither iTunes nor my computer recognizes the device.  The iPad will not go to any other screen and will not even power off, just stays on the Connect to iTunes screen.  I live 300+ miles from the nearest Apple store so going in is not really an option.  I would appreciate any help that would keep me from throwing this thing against the wall. 

    Dear Diavonex,
    I have a similar issue, I tried doing the restore, but now the computer is unable to recognize the ipad. Itunes does not detect the ipad. The ipad works but not able to sync with the computer.
    Checking on the device manager of windows 7, it shows that there is an unknown device with no driver for it. How to get a driver for the same? Any suggestions?

  • Tried to update to IOS6 and now my ipad is trying to restore -- getting error "activation server not available" help!  Have I lost all my video files?

    I was trying to do a simple udate of the ios software.  I connected to ITunes and the Ipad screen popped up saying there was an update available.  I clicked on the update and it started updating and also there was a message saying it was backing up.  But then I got a message to click here to complete the update -- with a restore.  I did that and now my IPad is n ot woking at all -- I get the initial startup screen and a message that says "your ipad cannot be activated because the activation server is not available"  I've tried connecting to itunes and get the same message -- server not available.  The devices menu option is grayed out so I cant sync, backup,, restore nothing.... HELP! please!  I only wanted to do a simple update -- now I think I've lost all my pictures and video files -- is there a way to get them back??

    Try restarting everything and then try to sync or reactivate. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, reboot your iPad and then try again.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • My phone went blank and now will only show the apple logo I have tried to reset it and that doesnt work HELP!!!!

    My iPhone is frozen. It was working find about a hour ago and then for no reason the screen went to the apple logo. I have tried to reset it and that doesnt work. When I press the power/lock button and the center key it turns off but then it comes right back to the apple logo screen and wont go any further. Please help I dont have my stuff saved and would like to keep the stuff i do have on it!!! Every once in awhile the screen will go black for a few seconds then the apple logo pops right back up! I dont know what to do.....

    Try to set it up as new device, explained here:
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    First without using the backup, in case it contains corrupt data.
    If it works after that, use the backup to restore from.

  • I updated my iphone and now wants me to connect wth itunes to restore. how can i avoid loosing everything???:(

    i dont not want to loose everything but it is telling me to restore and stuck in this mode....

    If you have done the smart thing and backed up before your software upgrade then you have nothing to worry about.
    If you didn't, well, that's a mistake you will hopefully learn from.

  • Syching my iphone4 after updating to ios6 and now half my photos aren't showing up in my phone.

    syching my iphone4 after updating to ios6 and now half my photos aren't showing up in my phone.

    Did you restore from backup on iTunes or did you use iCloud?
    Did you sync with iTunes? Is iTunes section for photos checked to sync all your photo locations?
    Also, with photo streaming sometimes you need to switch from Album to photo stream to see some photos.
    If your photos are on your computer still, they can be added back. if not and you depended solely on iCloud, then they may be gone.
