Bad restore; just itunes logo and cable on screen

Brand new iPad mini. Connected it to my pc. Asked for a restoration. An error occurred. Now there is nothing. Just the itunes logo and a usb cable on the screen. Thank you.

Hello magoonregla,
Here are some resources that may assist with resolving the issue you are seeing.
First I would try to restore the device again in the same way, refer to this article if needed:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
You may need to restart or even reset the iPad.
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
IF these steps do not resolve the issue then I recommend using this article that should help isolate the issue preventing the restore from completing successfully.

All the very best,

The iTunes Logo and Cable on screen

Hi there...
I bought my iPhone last Dec. 2007 in the apple store in Florida
When first opened the box and put the phone on, the apple logo first came out then after that appeared the iTunes logo on top and the cable at the bottom. All i can do with the phone is emergency calls... I haven't touched the phone in any way...
is there something wrong with the phone? is it true that all iPhones 1.1.2 behave this way?
Thanks

No - and as already answered, the iPhone is sold in the U.S. as carrier locked with at&t only. None of the iPhone functions work (with the exception of being able to make an emergency call) until the iPhone is activated with at&t. It has always been this way since day 1 and will remain this way at least for the next 4+ years or so. Apple signed a 5 year exclusive agreement with at&t for the iPhone sold in the U.S.
The iPhone is sold in the UK as carrier locked with O2 only, in Germany as carrier locked with T-Mobile only, and in France as carrier locked with Orange and Apple sells an unlocked iPhone in France at a significantly higher price. Selling an unlocked phone is required by French law but the unlocked iPhone sold in France can be used with GSM network providers in France only.

I pod touch is frozen . itunes logo and cable icon come up. can't get past that. already tried to restore

ipod touch is frozen. i tunes logo and cable logo appear. can't get past that. already reset ipod

This happened to me when the logo and cable comes on it either means that you have clicked to restoreit already try connecting it to itunes and click on the small little icon on the left of an ipod scroll down and click restore as nothing will happen if you don't restore it and syncing will not help it will stay the same.

Notified of iTunes update for iPhone; tried to download; phone inoperable all day. screen shows itunes logo and cable

I was notified of an iTunes update for my iPhone; I tried to download, but am just showing the screen with the iTunes logo and a picture of a cable end. Phone has been inoperable all day.

Hey there Gina,
It sounds like you were updating your phone, and now it is unresponsive with an iTunes and usb cable on the screen. This appears to be recovery mode, and you should be able to restore the device using the following article to get that install completed:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If not, then reset the device with the following article, and then attempt the restore with the above article:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

My Ipad has locked with Itunes logo and cable displayed on a black screen. Cant do anything

My Ipad has locked on a black screen with only the Itunes music logo together with an arrow and a cable white photo display. Turning it on and off achieves nothing, only the Itunes circle and cable appear each time. What can I do to rectify?

I uploaded iOS 7 and the ipad came up with a black screen with pictures of iTunes logo and power cord. It wouldn't turn off or respond to any actions. A terrifying moment. I followed some suggestions from these discussions, connected iPad to Macbook with iTunes open and prayed. It took 3 separate times to completely reset the iPad, because of several "errors" that would occur throughout the lengthy process. This necessity to completely reset my iPad (and it is very shakily alive now, I fear) was a direct result of uploading the new OS. I am furious. What is going on with Apple? I see this has happened to people for quite a while now. Good Lord.

I tried to restore my ipad but all i have got is the itunes logo and cable and it wont restore with an error saying 1604

Major help please.
Bought my ipad yesterday and the sync all worked fine. I needed to wipe it which worked but now it wont restore and the ipad wont go past the itunes logo with the connecting wire on the front screen and when it sometimes does, after the restore there is an error (1604)
stressing.
help would be much appreciated.

CT782-
How long did you wait? It might just take a while.
Could the computer's USB port have gone to sleep? I would try disconnecting the iPad and reconnecting it, to see if that is what iTunes is waiting for.
If there is another USB port, try that one too.

Iphone 4 frozen itunes logo & USB Cable on screen - heeeeeeeelp!!!

Have tried to turn the phone on in recovery mode but to no avail - if I turn it off, as soon as I plug it into charge the itunes & usb cable signs come up on phone and I am sure it is not charging.
If I hold down the home key and plug into usb cable on computer (wanted to try and restore via itunes) same thing happens, apple logo comes up for a second or two and then the itunes & usb cable sign.
I had plugged the phone in via the usb cable to charge as the battery was low and the phone did sync with my computer, I deleted a couple of apps (children taking over my phone!) and I think itunes was trying to update when my computer deemed the update to dangerous so I cancelled it (thinking I'd unplug the phone pre any danger element!!!) - however, the itunes & usb sign was already there and has not gone since.
I have now updated to the latest version of itunes and tried it all again, computer works fine, albeit I still got the 'this software is potentially dangerous' message but ignored it.
Any thoughts (am loathe to run the jailbreak thingy that I have read about as presumably as soon as I start faffing with it, it will be out of waranty? It is only 2 months old!)
Please help oh clever iphone geeks
Thanks
Vicki

Ipad 2 cant get it to shut down, itunes logo and port on screen

i went to upadate my settings, and it told me i didnt have enough space to download IOS 7, then it locked and a iTunes screen appeared on screen with a picture of port plug, now i cant get it to shut down ive tried the home button and the shut down button, nothing works. when the screen goes black, for a minute the Apple logo comes up then goes off and the iTunes and port plug come back.

The image means that the iPad has gone into recovery mode - you will need to connect it to your computer's iTunes, that should recognise the iPad and allow you to reset it back to factory defaults, and you can then restore/resync your content to it. Whilst it's in recovery mode you might not be able to turn it off (I'm not sure whether it's possible or not)

Software update failure, now phone frozen. Now screen only showing itunes logo and USB Cable on screen. Have I lost my backup?

I just tried updating the most recent software on my 3GS (on my Mac) but it said the updated on my phone failed. Now my phone is frozen and only showing the itunes logo and USB cable. When I connect to the USB lead, its says: iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.
Have I lost all the data on my phone?
What should I do?
Help!

There is no other way than to plug into a computer to restore the phone. You can use another computer to do so, but in case you did not back up to iCloud your data and settings will be gone.
Follow this article to connect in recovery mode:
