My iPhone 4 is shut off and wont turn back on, unless i plug it in an outlet & when i do that it says "connect to Itunes" & then i do that and the phone wont turn on & it shows nothing is plugged in . HELP!
& it keeps trying to turn on but it wont . like the apple logo pops up for a minute , then turns off.
Had exact same problem. Rang Apple support and various apple repairers. All of them said in effect, too bad, you'll have to lose everything since your last backup. It's a work phone with very important stuff on it and the latest backup was on a computer that had a virus. Convergence of crap :/
Happened to talk to a friend who said to try replacing the battery. Did that. Problem fixed. All data saved.
To all Apple support people: rather than say 'once it's in recovery mode you lose all data' try saying 'replace your battery and see if that works first'!!!!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
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. -
My iPhoneis disabled and says to connect to iTunes. How can I get the phone unlocked?
My daughter tried to change her code to unlock her phone and the phone locked up and says that her phone is diabled and to connect to iTunes. Is there any thing to do to unlock fix this problem?
You will need to connect the phone to iTunes, like the message said.
The code was tried too many times, and it was locked out for security. This is to prevent stolen phones from being accessed.
If you cannot get the phone to work after you have synced in iTunes, then I would try restoring the phone as a last resort.
Hope this helps.

Hello.....my ipad is locked and i forgot the password! on my screen it says ipad is disable then under that it says connect to itunes! what do i do to unlock it?
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it.
This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
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. -

please help! I need my phone!
You can use any computer to force the phone into recovery mode, as described here, & restore it:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
However, if not the computer you normally sync with, or no iCloud backup, you will only be able to restore as a new device. All data on your phone will be erased -
First of all I am using a MAC and do not have any third party security programs. So when the iphone fails to restore because of an error (1611 or 1603 or 1609) and I read through it all and it keeps coming back to a third party security program interferring, it get very frustrating. So I talk to the Rogers tech guy and after he walks me through the restore process that I have already mastered several times and he winds up telling me it's a software issue and that my phone thinks someone has tried to unlock it or jailbreak it. Well as I wouldn't have a clue as to where to start jailbreaking and the phone was working fine this morning...... Needless to say I am extremely frustrated and have been fiddling with this stupid thing for 4 hours now. So somebody please help. I'd rather not be out a $600 phone.
You need to restore the iPhone via recovery mode. To do this follow the link below to guide you:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Because you need to restore to factory settings all data on the iPhone will be erased. Because the iPhone was never backed up most of the data you won't be able to get back. -
