IPad stuck on "Connect to iTunes" screen after iOS 8.0.2 Update

Attempted to update to iOS 8.0.2 last night on my 4th Gen iPad. After verifying the download, the iPad instructed me to "Connect to iTunes". Once connected, iTunes stated that my iPad was in need of a restore, which I attempted to do so. Upon "extracting software" iTunes states that it cannot recognize my device and fails the restore. My iPad is still stuck on "Connect to iTunes" screen.
So far I've:
Attempted restore on iTunes 3 times
Attempted hard restart (reboot) by holding home button and top button down for ten seconds.
Don't know what else to do, Please Help!!!!

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

Hold down the Home and Power button to shut off the iPhone. Keep it disconnected from the computer. Then, hold down the Home for 20 seconds. Connect it to the computer while continuing to hold down the Home button. Wait for iTunes to say your iPhone is in Recovery mode. Then, restore.

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.

My ipod touch is frozen on the connect to itune screen after an update

My ipod touch is frozen on the connect to itune screen after an update. What do I do to solve the problem. The power on-off button does not permit me to reboot the system.

The BOLD may be necessary
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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

3rd gen - stuck on connect to itunes screen after update

I have recently tried to update my ipod touch 3rd gen to IOS 3.4.5.
10 minutes later it said that the update had failed. After that had happened the ipod was still on charge showing the connect to itunes sign, I looked at itunes and it wasn't recognised there or on 'My Computer'. I uplugged it and the Ipod continued to show the connect to itunes screen for 15-20 seconds after that the screen went blank. I tried to turn it back on again and it showed the apple logo and then straight back to the connect to itunes screen again for 15-20 seconds.
I have tried the following to restore it:
1. Hold the Sleep/wake button
2. Hold the Sleep/wake button and home button
3. Hold the home button while plugging it into comupter and wait for it to recognise (it didn't)
4. Reinstalling Itunes
None of these work. I really need the ipod to work help

Has your iPod ever been jailbroken firstly?
Is iTunes reading that the iPod has connected?

Phone stuck on connect to itunes screen after update attempt

Hi, hope someone can help me. I connected my iPhone to my computer to transfer my photos from the phone to the PC. I have automatic syncing turned off.
When I connected, I was prompted to update the iTunes version, which I did. It's now version 9. Then I attempted to update the iPhone version. I got a message saying I had to transfer my purchases first, which I did. Then I tried the update again. The update seemed to take awhile, then I got a message saying it failed. There was a "More Information" button which just prompted me to send info to Apple, which I did. Unfortunately I didn't save the info.
At that point all my iPhone info no longer showed in iTunes, and the only active option is Restore. It does say "Your iPhone software is up to date," which would seem to indicate that the update did work...I tried disconnecting and reconnecting my phone. When I do this, I get the message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
I would rather not Restore the phone unless I have no other options, since I have 600 pics, contacts, etc on the phone...Of course not backed up since this is the first time I've tried to transfer data.
So I tried a few things:
- I disconnected and reconnected the phone several times.
- I restarted the computer several times.
- I went to the Apple site and tried the troubleshooting steps for "stuck on connect to itunes screen" (which is what my phone is currently doing).
- I ran the diagnostic checks in iTunes (output below - I ran this while the phone was plugged in yet it says it's not found).
- I held down the Home and the Sleep/Wake button until I see the Apple icon.
- I went to My Computer > Manage and tried to update drivers, but the phone doesn't show in the device manager.
- I tried a different USB port and there are no other devices connected to the machine.
Nothing worked, my phone is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen and I get the error message every time I plug it in. I haven't tried another computer bc I don't have one and I'm not sure how to create/use another user account on this machine.
I wouldn't mind calling support but my phone doesn't work...Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Your only choice at this point is to restore your iphone. Since it appears from your post that you have never synced to this computer, you of course will not have a backup to restore from. That means your only choice is to restore as a new device & re-sync your itunes content. Unfortunately, all of your contacts, calendars, pics in your camera roll, etc., will be lost. Its not a good idea to use the iphone or any phone for that matter as a storage device, as things like this can & do happen. You should be syncing on a regular basis. The first thing done when you do sync is an iphone backup. You should also transfer pics in your camera roll to a supported application on your computer on a regular basis, much like any digital camera. You can always sync pics back to your phone, but if the only copies are on the phone, you run the risk of losing them.
See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

HT201263 My iPhone 4 is stuck on the "Connect to iTunes screen" after trying to update to iOS 7.0.4! Help!

I was attempting to update my iPhone 4 to the new iOS 7.0.4 via my computer after I plugged it in to create a backup copy and something went wrong before it could finish and I recieved an error message. Now my phone is stuck on the "Connect to iTunes screen". I've tried everything to reset & restore my phone with no luck!
I have:
-Restarted my computer
-Updated iTunes to most current version
-Turned phone on and off several times, waiting up to a half hour before turning on (to be greeted directly with apple logo then the connect to iTunes screen)
-Turned on, turned on and held home button (nothing happens)
-My computer is NOT recognizing my device at ALL! But when I plugged my boyfriends iPhone in, it detected it no problem.
I tried calling my phone from the other phone and it goes straight to voicemail. I am super frustrated! Does anybody know what is going on?

I was able to restore my phone!!!
I called Apple and they said there was nothing more I could do. I called my carrier Verizon and was able to get my computer to recognize my device after trying this-
Solution:
After trying EVERYTHING this is the ONLY thing that worked-
I took the USB connector cable out of the USB port it was in, and tried another one on the otherside of my laptop and iTunes was able to discover my phone in recovery mode. My phone was reset and everything is fine ( thank gosh for backup copies!)

IPod Touch still stuck on connect to iTunes screen after the restore. iTunes went blank.

Hi, I'm having problems with my iPod Touch. My iPod went off because the battery was empty. And when I tried connecting it to my laptop to recharge, the "connect to iTunes" screen suddenly appeared. According to iTunes I need to RESTORE it for it to work. And that's exactly what I did. However, after the restore and all, the screen is still stuck on the "connect to iTunes" screen.
By the way, it's a 2nd generation iPod Touch. And it's an MC model.
And to make things worse, my iTunes screen is totally empty. The RESTORE option is gone and I really don't know what to do anymore.
Hope you guys can help me out! I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

I really don't know what happened but my iPod Touch is working now!!! Thank you so much! I'm not really sure if it went to DFU mode or not but all of a sudden I can access iTunes App Store already!!! WOOOOAAAAHHHH! And it asked me to type in a new name for my iPod! So everything's good! Thank you so much! Thank you! You have no idea how happy I am right now!
For my iTunes:
Thank you!
P.S: Grrrrrrrr! My bad! I'm new here and I kind of messed up the Correct Answer and Helpful Answer buttons. Sorry. Dunno how to change them.

My iPhone 4 stuck in the "connect to iTunes" screen after trying to update to iOS 7

IPod stuck in "connect to iTunes" screen after updating software

I wanted to update my iPod touch to iOS5 after waiting for a long time. I synced and transferred purchases twice to make sure all my stuff was in my iTunes library, and then updated it. The update went fine but there was an error message saying that it could not restore the iPod. I went to troubleshooting and it said to update to the latest version of iTunes, which I did, involving a restart. When I started up iTunes again, it said it was the most recent version 10.7 and all of my songs, apps, etc. are in the library. The problem is I can't get my iPod to connect to iTunes now. It went into the connect to iTunes screen before I updated the software and it has stayed like that. I tried plugging and unplugging it, switching the USB ports and cables, putting it into recovery mode, but it will not show up on iTunes or on my computer. I also noticed that when I hold down the sleep/wake button for a few seconds, it shuts down immediately instead of having the "slide to power off" screen come up, and then the apple comes back onto the screen and it goes to the "connect to iTunes" screen again. I have tried all of the troubleshooting guides on the website, but it doesn't change the screen. I tried putting it into DFU mode and something came up on the computer saying "installing driver software" and it said DFU mode or something, which usually happens when I plug in my iPod, but after my iPod wouldn't turn on at first, and when it did, the same screen came up again. When I unplug it from the USB cable, it stays on the screen for about a minute before it turns off and the screen goes black. This is the screen it's stuck on
I'm not sure what else to do, all suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much.

You try on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iTunes problem. If it works on the other computer that indicates a computer problem and more work is required to fix that problem.
If iTunes on the other computer yuo can do the following to make that computer the syncing computer until you can fix the other computer. For how see:

Try and force your iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

IPad 3 stuck in "Connect to iTunes" screen after attempting to update to iOS6.0

Tried to update to iOS 6.0, and the iPad 3 is stuck on the "Connect to iTunes" screen. After plugging it back in and connecting it, iTunes recognizes it, and sees it in Recovery mode. Nothing has worked so far. I've tried:
1. connecting to another MacMini and trying to restore (same (-1) error)
2. Deleted the iPad software update from the library and tried to download and restore again. (same (-1) error)
3. one hour on the phone with applecare tech support. multiple things tried: holding the sleep/wake and home buttons ect... (same (-1) error)
Has anyone else seen this? I noticed someone else asked the same question, and someone offered a blank link.
I'll try anything.
Thanks guys

Yes, thank you though.
I've done that roughly 30 times over the last 8 hours. That was one of the methods I tried with AppleCare Tech support.
The biggest issue I'm seeing is that the device can't BE turned off. Holding the slep wake button does nothing. The "Connect to iTunes" screen (usb to iTunes logo) seems to be stuck on the screen, unless it's going through the restore process.
When I go through the restore steps via iTunes, it gets all the way to the "Installing Firmware" portion, (roughly about 75% done according to the ipad screen, and thats when the error message pops up again.
I even just tried doing the whole thing from a PC and got the same message.
...I touched a PC...
...Must sterilize hands...
thanks for the reply though.
Hopefully, I can figure something out, or I might have to make a two hour drive to an apple store to get a replacement.
