My iPhone 4S is stuck in iTunes screen after updating to iOS 7, what can I do?

Hi everyone
I updated iTunes to latest version.
Connected my 4s to iTunes and started the update to iOS 7.
Took a few minutes and in the end it gave me an error, dying the iPhone could not be updated for an unknown reason.
Now the iPhone screen shows "connect to iTunes" and I can't get it out of there!
Tried pressing both home and start buttons to no avail, won't do anything.
Help please!

It worked the second time! At first I reinstalled iTunes (left the 'open right now' option checked) and when I connected the iPhone nothing happened. Then I unninstalled it and reinstalled it again (this time not leaving the open right now option checked) and as soon as I connected my Iphone Itunes openned  and detected it.
Thanks so much for your help !!
I suggest to anyone with the same problem to try this method first, the method described in the link DOES NOT WORK.

  • HT201263 Since my iPhone 4S was stuck on the connect to iTunes screen after updating to iOS 7, I followed these instructions and restored.  But nothing changed!  I still have the same picture of a plug with arrow to iTunes.

    It is restored now.  Thanks for the comment about disabling firewalls - we did that and tried again and it worked.

  • IPhone 3GS stuck on activation screen after updating to iOS 6.13

    Hi!
    I have updates my iPhone 3GS to iOS 6.13 and it got stuck in the activation mode.
    I went to see Apple Genius and was told that my phone has locked itself to O2 simcard only.
    I contacted O2 and my iPhone has just been unlocked.
    however, when I try to finish the activation it still keeps failining with the message when I use WiFi:
    "could not activate iPhone, your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."
    When I try through iTunes, it says: "we're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time"
    Next available appointments at near apple stores are only mid-week..
    any advice on what should I do?
    I tried restoring it (held lock button until logo came up), but it keeps taking me to activation screen.
    any help would be much appreciated...

    Is there a SIM in the device?  A SIM is required for activation.
    The most common reason for activation issues is due to the device being hacked or jailbroken.  If this is the case, no support can be provided here and Apple will not touch the device.

  • HELP! iPhone 4s is stuck in recovery mode after updating to ios 7.1 over wifi

    okay so today I updated my iphone to iOS 7.1 over wifi, and after it shut down to restart it went to recovery mode and now its stuck. Ive tried TinyUmbrella and DFU mode and nothing's working, and i need it fixed by TOMORROW. Any ideas?

    Close iTunes
    Check your hosts file which is located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
    Open that file (notepad will do fine) and check if you can find a line which contains "apple.com"
    If there is one write a # in front of the line, save the file to your Desktop and then Drop&Drop it into the file path mentioned above. Yes to overwrite.
    Now launch iTunes and try again!

    please help me to update and restore my iphone 5? beacause after updating to iOS 7, i can no longer updater and restore my phone. it always comes in error

    I'm having the identical problem on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 7--no ability to update apps or download new apps.  Here is what Apple tech support emailed to me:
    I understand that you are unable to download or update applications after updating iOS7 on your iTunes. I know you must be eager to get this resolved and I will be happy to help you today.
    ... to help you better with this issue I would request you to please try this steps given below to resolve your issue.
    Please follow this steps:
    1) Double tap the home button
    2) Hold down on an icon
    3) Tap the red "X" on iTunes, and the App Store.
    4) Tap Settings > Store > Tap your Apple ID, and choose sign out
    5) Tap Settings
    6) Tap General
    7) Tap Reset
    8) Tap Network Settings
    Once it has been closed with multi-tasking, and you have rebooted the device in the network settings reset, please sign in, and try again. 
      Howevr, if you are facing the same issue than for this issue, you may need to call our AppleCare technical support team. A technical Advisor will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support. The technical Advisor can also assist you in determining what option might be most helpful to you in this case.
    Mildly amusing that the instructions for force-closing a program are the IOS 6 instructions, which do not work on IOS 7. 
    Otherwise I'm having a little success with this.  Some apps (not all) are updating. It seems that a few more apps update each time I go through the process (close everything, sign out, and either reset or reboot, then go to the app store, sign in and try to update all).  So far it has been a very lengthy, iterative process.

  • TS1538 my iPad is stuck on the connect to itunes screen after updating.

    I have seen several post about screen locked on the iTunes connect after updating software.  I have tried all these methods.  My iTunes does not recognize my device and my device will not turn on so I cannot do a reset.  I tried the hard reset by pressing both the home button and the on/off switch and then connecting to my computer.  My computer dings like a new device was connected but I cannot see my device in iTunes.
    Suggestions appreciated. 

    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Ipad 2 stuck in recovery mode after updating to IOS 5, Unknow error -1

    Hi Everyone,
    my Ipad 2 is stuck in recovery mode after updating to the latest IOS 5. Tried to restore, it comes up with unknown error -1.
    Ive tried all that I can including the tips given in the apple forums and internet. Please help.

    Hello soccerlime,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The error code "9006" in iTunes when updating or restoring your device indicates that access to the iTunes update servers is being blocked.  Please take a look at the information below to help resolve this error.
    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • IPad Air not showing full screen after updating to ios 8.2.

    How do I reset the screen to show all items on screen while in Safari?  Screen seems to be "cut-off" after updating to ios 8.2. Also cannot view Yahoo in Desktop view.  It only shows in mobile mode,

    When on Yahoo, tap on the address bar once...a drobox box containing icons of your favourites should appear.  Hold your finger anywhere on the box & pull down,,,you should see 'Request Desktop Site' under the address bar...tap on that & the desktop site should load.
    Is your Safari screen cut off a bit at the sides?  I notice that too on certain websites & usually switch my iPad to landscape mode which allows me to view more of the page without having to scroll sideways.
