My iphone 4 has an error message on the screen that reads "iphone disabled connect to itunes" what do i do

My iPhone 4 has an error message on the screen that reads "iiPhone disabled connect to iTunes" I've tried connecting and can't get anywhere what do I do and what is the problem?

Your phone is disabled for some reason. Maybe you entered the wrong Passcode too many times. In any case you need to do just as the phone is instructing you to do. Start the latest version of atones on your computer and connect your phone. iTunes should guide you through the process of getting your phone working again. Here's a link to an Apple support page on this:

    Also when I am trying to connect ipad to my windows PC, it shows, your software is up to date and later starts restoring while updating again. Then automatically it stops to update halfway and I have to repeat the process again and again, still in vain.

  • I have an ipod touch that hasn't been used for a while.  Now we want to use it, but the screen says "ipod is disabled connect to itunes"--but it won't connect.  I have tried to place in recovery mode with directions given but still get the same message.

    I have an ipod touch that hasn't been used in a while.  We want to use it now, but the screen says "ipod disabled.  connect to itunes".  When I connect to itunes it tells me to enter my passcode, however the ipod will not allow me to do anything (and I don't know the code anyway).  I tried to put it in recovery mode as someone suggested by holding the home button while plugging the ipod up from the computer, but I never did get the "connect to itunes" symbol, I continually got the same screen saying "ipod disabled connect to itunes".  Help!

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • ITunes randomly stops playing purchases that have previously viewed on the same hardware. It has an error message about HD. How can this issue be resolved?  What information is available besides the "learn more" option that does not deal with the problem?

    Many people have the same problem. However, there is little or nothing readily available to users. This problem has existed for two or more years. Does anyone have anything to offer about this disturbing problem?

    Thanks for the suggestion kcell. I've tried both versions
    9.0.115 and 9.0.124 and both fail with the policy permission error.
    I also tried with and without your crossdomain.xml file but
    with the same result. It looks like this file is intended for URL
    policy, instead of socket policy. Recently Adobe separated the two.
    When I run with the files installed on my dev PC, it does
    work, which makes sense because the flash player isn't loaded from
    an unknown domain.
    I did get one step closer. If a crossdomain.xml in the server
    root exists and the socketpolicy file is loaded from the app folder
    then the first two warnings disappear. The logs now show:
    OK: Root-level SWF loaded:
    https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf
    OK: Policy file accepted: https://192.168.2.5/crossdomain.xml
    OK: Policy file accepted:
    https://192.168.2.5/trunk/socketpolicy.xml
    Warning: Timeout on xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:843 (at 3
    seconds) while waiting for socket policy file. This should not
    cause any problems, but see
    http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files
    for an explanation.
    Warning: [strict] Ignoring policy file with incorrect syntax:
    xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993
    Error: Request for resource at xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993 by
    requestor from https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf is denied due to
    lack of policy file permissions.
    Which basically says, everything is okay, but you stay out
    anyway.
    PS: I found the XML schema files here:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security_02.html
    and the socket policy schema:
    http://www.adobe.com/xml/schemas/PolicyFileSocket.xsd.
    UPDATE: When serving up the policy file on port 843 using the
    example perl script then the socket connection seems to be accepted
    and the connect succeeds. After that flex hangs trying to logon to
    the IMAP server.

  • How to display error message on the screen

    I am new to WD world and need all possible steps to resolve the following issue.
    I need to display the error message on the screen if any required field is empty when user click on SAVE button.
    I have set the attribute GO_MESSAGE_MANAGER and check the both box for  PUBLIC and REFTO and set the associated type IF_WD_MESSAGE_MANAGER under COMPONENTCONTROLLER.
    Under the method of COMPONENTCONTROLLER set the value WD_THIS-GV_NAV_FORBIDDEN = IV_NAV_FORBIDDEN. Which is type IMPORTING of associated type WDY_BOOLEAN.
    GV_NAV_FORBIDDEN has been set to attribute WDY_BOOLEAN in the COMPONENTCONTROLLER.
    Under the ACTION (on SAVE button) of my default view (VW_DEFAULT) I am doing the following.
    IF lv_f_name IS INITIAL
        CALL FUNCTION 'BALW_BAPIRETURN_GET2'
          EXPORTING
            type   = 'E'
            cl     = 'HRRCF0002'
            number = '020'
          IMPORTING
            return = ls_return.
        lv_message = ls_return-message.
    NEED TO PUT CODE TO PASS IT ON
    ENDIF.

    The thing I can not figure out is the input parameter of this call. My CONTEXT has a node1->node2->node3->f_name.
    CALL METHOD lo_message_manager->report_attribute_error_message
      EXPORTING
        message_text              = lv_message
        element                   = HOW WIILL YOU FIND THE VALUE OF THIS

  • . I have an iCloud error message on the screen.

    The screen on my iPad is frozen. The hard reset does not reboot the iPad. I have an iCloud error message on the screen. That I can't get rid of.

    Thank you. I had tried this before with no success. However, I tried it again. The problem is I don't know who to reboot without a keyboard. I can't get to the on screen key board with the screen locked up.
    The error message I get is   "  iCloud Backup      This iPad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when the iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi" at the bottom of the message is an OK button.
    Now with the iPad removed from the keyboard:the screen will stay lit for about 5 seconds and then go blank. Turning power off and on brings up a blank screen with the iCloud message and the slide to unlock. Touching the OK button causes a brief flutter of the button. Trying to slide the slide to unlock accomplishes nothing, since it won't slide.
    The battery was at 49% when the problem occurred. I have since recharged the battery to 100%. I  tried earlier to reboot with the iPad connected to AC.
    Again, thank you for your suggestions.

    If a reset doesn't work, try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • I have pluged a portable battery to the USB and my macbook pro stopped working after that, right before it shut down there was a message on the screen that said something like " USB device is withdrawing so much power, please disconnect and connect again?

    I have plugged a portable battery to the USB and my macbook pro stopped working after that, right before it shut down there was a message on the screen that said something like " USB device is withdrawing so much power, please disconnect and connect again?
    if the device I connected have caused this, shouldn't the macbook itself have some type of protection that should prevent this from happening.
    because when I took it to an apple certified maintenance shop, the guy said that now it could only run while connected to the power. it won't run on batteries. and that I have to change the motherboard.
    can I just replace the damaged part only, would apple consider this as a design issue and they could pay for it, or should I just buy a new motherboard for 800$.
    Help.

    BB1B2,
    The problem is in finding a tech shop that will/can do board level repairs on Macs. They are few. And I certainly wouldn't spend $800 on a new logic board - I would replace the computer if I had to pay that much!
    You could call around to a few repair shops and see if they feel competent to isolate the problem and do a board level repair - but I'm afraid, in the end, that your search will be futile.
    Sorry,
    Clinton
