Is "connect to itunes" my new screen saver or something?
My IPhone 5c was on the charger when I looked at my setting to check out my new update notification. I guess the update has me feeling like an old lady who doesn't understand too much about phones because the only thing I see is one of the three things my screen is displaying; 1. "connect to iTunes" 2. The "apple" and the best one would have to be 3. that black mirror thing that you always lock your phone to check yourself out with. So after trying to restart my phone by pressing both the lock and home button, it turned off, showed me that apple, and then the "connect to iTunes". Take two was pressing just the lock button; nothing. Third lucks charm was pretty disappointing after I finally dug out the old Acer and plugged my stubborn phone into iTunes to see that I had to restore my phone to factory settings because I have unsaved pictures of my cousin who recently died from leukemia. I finally figured that it was my best shot so I pressed the restore iPhone box and after 5 long hours and 5 arduous tries to just get my phone to turn on out of desperation, it still just wants to be plugged into iTunes. Even when it's plugged in! I'm only 15, and I truly feel as if I'm trying to get a baby to stop crying. Yes, it does help trying to make silly faces at it but that's only because I'm seeing myself and I do really need my phone. No, not only because I go on twitter to see the latest complaints but I have a job at a horse farm, and I can be needed at any moment. Soccer also starts tonight, and I everybody probably thinks I'm ignoring them or something. Please help me get this phone to work again!
Plave the iPod in Recovery mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.

I connected my iPhone 4 to my PC to sync all my new info to iTunes/PC, but it said it was not able to recognize it and needs to do a complete restore! How do I retrieve photos from my iPhone 4 before a complete restore! It'stuck on a "connect to iTunes" to restore screen and won't do anything else! I tried rebooting the phone (holding the top button and the home button and the SAME "connect to iTunes" screen comes up. If I restore, I will lose ALL my unsynced photos, apps, and data from the past week (INCLUDING pics from a concert WITH band members!) Help please! MAYDAY! My prior backup does NOT contain these photos/apps/data! Ahh!!!!
I am having the same problems as this person. I see that someone said there is no way to retrieve the pictures once it gets stuck in recovery mode.
Then further along someone said that there are data retrieval methods except they have something to do with jail breaking a phone.
My phone is already jail broken. It was kind of a gift from the company I work for- it was a fellow employees before. He jail broke it and then it was given to me. After I got it I activated the 4 and tried to back up everything. It didn't work and "Springboard" forced the phone into safety mode. So I could use it with the old dude's apps and my contacts. I made the mistake of using the phone for wedding dress shopping with a friend. I took tons of pictures.
After this I found out the messages I was seeing meant it was jail broken. At&t said to force restore the phone - iTunes wouldn't recognize it in safety mode. I'm an idiot and didn't realize what this meant for my pictures. It didn't work (error 1611) - thankfully. Now it is stuck in recovery mode (iTunes icon and USB cable picture).
Can I access that media in any way? It never suceeded restoring itself so is it still there? The phone is jail broken already so is there a method I can use? -
This has happened doing the latest software update. I think I accidentally deleted iTunes before doing the latest update in trying to make room on the phone when it came up with limited space.
My iPhone is locked with the connect to iTunes logo on screen. I have connected and trying to restore but it is not working. I have turned it on and off but to no avail.
The restore says two hours to down load. Has anyone else had this problem.iOS: Unable to update or restore

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit -

Hi, recently when I use my iTunes album art work as a screen saver the albums have a purple tint to them. It hasn't always been like that so if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Hello howwow,
In iTunes, select the song. Get info (command+I), click on the Artwork Tab at the top. You can drag the image from there to the desktop. Double click it to open it in the Finder, copy the image- just press command+c.
Open Preview, type command+n, this will create a New From Clipboard image of your artwork. Save it as a Jpeg or Pict. Repeat with each song you want and create the folder for your screen saver.

ITunes album artwork screen saver possible with external library?
I just moved my iTunes library to an external drive to free up space on my MacBook, and I was wondering if there's a way to still use the album artwork screen saver when the external drive is not connected? I still have my artwork folder on my internal drive but when it is not connected, it says, "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs with artwork." Is there a place where the screen saver info is saved? or does it only work with the library itself?
hi,
it will only work when your library could be available.
beside, if I may suggest, it is more reliable to place your library files on your external drive along with your songs than keeping the library files on the internal drive. that way, you will avoid the issue to mistakenly open your library while your external drive isn't mounted. -
ITunes crashes when screen saver comes on
Hello. When my screensaver comes on, iTunes stops playing. When I wake my computer from the screensaver, there is a window on my computer saying that iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. I'm forced to shut iTunes down.
Anyone encountered this, and have a solution??
Please help! Thanks!
My specs:
Windows Vista RC2
iTunes 7.0.2.16If I read it right, the advice there is to turn off the screen saver and turn it back on all the time. Not terribly helpful.
I am having this same problem, it started when I downloaded/upgraded iTunes 7.0.2.16, before that it was no problem.
I have also had intermittent problems with iTunes playing one some in a playliest twice (repeat is not clicked, it will play a couple of sonds then repeat one then play a few more then repeat one) and once it played the same sone twice at the same time, about 10 seconds out of sync, which was very odd.
Is this a bug in the new version, or does anybody know a fix? Help is appreciated! -
Apple TV: Music Visualizer (Like iTunes) or Alternative Screen Saver?
Hello, I am wondering if there is any way to get a "Visualizer" for my Apple TV, like iTunes has that is basically a screen saver that wavers with the pitch and beat of the music. Similar to those on Windows Media Player, xBox 360, PS3, etc... Or is there at least a way to get/buy an alternative "Screen Saver" besides the floating pictures?
If not, that is a serious design flaw that someone should have thought about before release. I mean, come on, a unit that is designed to be hooked up to your TV and play music? You need to have something visual and floating pictures are not only boring but borderline annoying. I have to believe it is an easy fix with a software update; I mean, everyone else has managed to incorporate one into their products as I mentioned above and **** iTunes even has its own Visualizer, and in my humble opinion, rivals only windows media player in top quality. There has to be a way to at least stream it like AirTunes streams the music iTunes is playing to the Apple TV that plays it out the speakers it is hooked up to; with G protocol you could easily add a video stream that would stream the iTunes visualizer to the Apple TV and display it on the TV.
Anyway, just thoughts, if anyone cares, not really upset with the product, in fact, I love it so much I'm thinking of proposing to it soon (it has no idea). I just REALLY wish I could throw up a sick Visualizer on my Samsung 60" 240hz LED TV to go along with my music...SOS! Help!

no - the "visualiser" is not an option on the appletv.
you only have the screensaver options. -

ITunes album art screen saver problem
Hi, recently when I use my iTunes album art work as a screen saver the albums have a purple tint to them. It hasn't always been like that so if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Just thought I'd let you know that you're not alone. I've tried everything i could think of to fix this problem. The only thing that worked was re-installing the os
and not messing with the settings. But that's not really an option. I only found that out because i got a little delete happy while screwing with my mac.
