My iPhone is currently "disabled" and I can't connect it to iTunes.

My phone just got stolen, and I got it back. (long story, saved by cctv)
And so it comes back with it being "disabled" and 'connect to iTunes'.
But I can't connect it because I've placed a password, which I know of before.
But the thing is, there isn't any 'slide to open'. Theres only 'slide for emergency'.
So, I can't type in the password, making it unable to connect to iTunes.
Could anyone here help me with this? Please

Try placing your iPhone into Recovery mode. If successful, this will require restoring your iPhone with iTunes which you probably want to do anyway after if was stolen. Instructions for doing so provided with this link.

  • While downloading the latest IOS update to my iPhone 4, my phone went into a frozen state with the update 2/3's complete. It's remained like this for the past 12 hours. I can't turn the phone off, and I can't connect it to iTunes. Anyone know what to do?

    While downloading the latest IOS update to my iPhone 4S, my phone went into a frozen state with the update 2/3's complete. It's remained like this for the past 12 hours. I can't turn the phone off, and I can't connect it to iTunes. Anyone know what to do?

    If the place of purchase does not have a 'Lemon' policy (three replacements = refund or complete exchange), sadly you are out of luck.
    And Apple themselves do not have any power over what policy a reseller uses. You can call Apple Care and have them replace it, but the odds are you would probably get a standard replacement again like has previously happened. I'm pretty sure Apple holds their own sort of 'Lemon' polocy where if it's been replaced three times through them they'll swap it out for a brand new phone. Not 100% sure though, best bet is too call them again.
    And it ***** getting a response like that from their support personel, but hey, they can't all be that bad can they? I'm sure if you plead your case they'll try and help out. I've dealt with them in the past and had one or two people that rubbed me the wrong way, but most of them have been a great help and kept me a happy customer, haha.

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

    I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2.  My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone).  I  was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

  • TS1368 Updated to 10.6.1.7 and now can't connect to the itunes store!

    I've used itunes for several years (with regular annoyances) however since i upgraded to the latest version i cannot connect to the itunes store. i use windows 7, windows firewall and mcafee family protection but even if I turn off the latter it still can't connect. I've tried the help advice but nothing seems to work. Anyone had a similar problem?

    You need to buy and install a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and then run the 10.6.8 combo updater.

  • Installed 8.1.1 and still can't connect to the iTunes store

    So for about 3 weeks I've been unable to connect to the iTunes store. I've allowed iTunes as an exception to my firewall; I've even tried turning the firewall off. I just installed 8.1.1 and I still can't connect to the store--what is going on? Any advice or anything?

    Ah! I got it! I tried turning off the Symantec and that wasn't it (but thanks for the suggestion), but after poking around on the forum, someone said to try this:
    try going to control panel > internet options > Connections > LAN settings
    Then uncheck "automatically use a proxy server"
    And voila, iTunes works! Thank you so much for all your help though; it's nice to know that someone is trying to help.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Something happened and I can't connect to the itunes store on my computer, it keep saying make sure ur network connection is active and try again, but I am on the internet and I do have a connection, it has been working all this time until now

    I also had my phone go into recovery mode and lost everything up until it's last back up and don't have all my son's games I downloaded for him, lost pics, new contacts that i had added.  I don't know what the big hype of the iphone really is, i guess because I am not fully aware of how to use it but I am tired of my itunes store not coming up on my computer and apple wont' help me

    Thanks for your quick response, but all of my iTunes account info is correct.  I also just discovered that I can connect with 3G and purchase apps without problems, so it's just the wifi connection (and only with iTunes store) that is giving me problems.  I have made sure I have the latest software/firmware on my Airport Express network, and my iOS devices, and everything works well on all of my devices (can even browse the itunes store and internet) until I attempt a purchase.  I can purchase with 3G but not on Wifi.  The problem arose on both my iPhone and iPad at exactly the same time!
