"Connect to iTunes" screen - Issue with 4.1 update installation

I recently attempted to update my iPod to version 4.1, once the update had almost finished installation I got an error message with the number 1602. Now my iPod shows the "connect to iTunes" screen: http://km.support.apple.com/library/APPLE/APPLECAREALLGEOS/HT1808/HT180803.png
Here's where it gets fun... My computer won't recognize my iPod when I plug it in. I have tried all of my 2.0 USB ports. I've tried restarting my computer, hard resetting my iPod, no matter what I do it doesn't show up when I connect it to the computer. iTunes is up to date, computer is up to date. Please help!

My iphone 5 is stuck on the connect to Itunes screen after I downloaded the update, does anyone know what to do?

I've tried holding the power button and home button simultaneously while connecting my phone to itunes but it still doesn't recognize my phone. I have uninstalled every component of itunes and run the device manager and I've really done all I think I can do. Will I have to take my phone to the apple store or are there any other solutions?

Mine gave me an error in itunes side that it didnt recognize the phone. But when I unplugged and re plugged it it was fine. Or is yours on the screen with the little plug? You might have to go to Apple. I have that happen to a friend on the 7 upgrade. She needed a new phone. oy!

My phone is stuck on the connect to itunes screen when i started to update it and when i connect it to itunes nothing happens. What do i do to fix it ?

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.

Froze upgrading ios 6 on connect to itunes screen not recognized by itunes and wont charge no power with usb

The guy at the Apple store said "Now thats a Brick" "I've never seen or heard of one this bad!"
I bought the phone with little to no info on it. I was told that it froze after several failed attempts at loading IOS 6.
Now... It will only turn on if plugged into wall, it will show black, then apple, then "connect to itunes" screen and thats it. As soon as I unplug, it dies. If I try power off, it turns back on and freezes in same place. Reset, same. And unabale to Factory restore cuz I cant unplug from wall. Im asuming its in dfu, nothing works.
When connected to USB,no power, no response from pc (win xp) or Itunes. Although... I swear I heard pc beap once as though it "found new hardware" but on inspection, Nothing.
My theories: 1) Battery is hooped. ( but I was told it worked fine a month ago) The longest I have had it charging is 4hrs and i died as soon as removed.
                    2) VCC conductor. Would explain USB issue.
                    3) The phone was "jailbroke" and IOS6 did not like that. Isnt there programs to reverse this?
                    4) IOS6 interupted, then phone got factory restored. Is it possible there is No "OS" on it?
I never touched an Iphone untill 2 days ago, and I have read and tried every troubshooting solution I could find. If I can fix this I'll be an expert!
Any help appreciated.

How can i fix my iphone 3gs when i have network issues after updating to IOS 6.1.3 and avoid the connect to ITunes screen?

Im an owner of an Iphone 3gs.
When I updated my software to IOS 6.1.3 I started having network issues such as my phone would go on searching, it would search for signal and then No service after few minutes it would restart and when its on again it would show me Connect To Itunes screen, I tried connecting but nothing happens and if I just leave it as it is it will just keep on restarting and showing the same screen sometimes I might get lucky and the phone will start working again but No Service and if I turn on my 3G for the times Im outdoors it will just restart again so 3G is also another problem I have got. Today I decided to take it to an Apple Store, the guy restored it and now what happens is that it switches on and is showing me the connect to Itunes message but with black backround and i cant do anything it keeps on restarting and showing the same thing. Please if there is anyone that would like to spend some time with me to help me out, he would be more than Welcome.

Yes, yes, yes... I've gone through all the common sense trouble shoots. Would't be here asking questions if that answers existed on the net. Sorry if I sound a bit edgey, but I've had nothing but issues with every update since IOS 7. Clearly there's nothing that can be done about this. and this is the final nail in the coffin to try to make me buy an Iphone 5.

HT1349 My ipod was submerged in water monentarily. I have dried it with a hair dryer and set it in the sun for 1 hour. It now will turn on and only bring up the connect to itunes screen. My keypad is locked and will not unlock by connecting to itunes.

My ipod was submerged in water momentarily. I have dried it with a hair dryer and have placed it in the sun for 1 hour. It will now turn on but will only bring up the connect to itunes screen. When I connect to itunes it is not recognized because it is locked with a security code. I have tried to reset the ipod using the instructions in the user manual to no avail. The accessibility screen is functional because I can turn on/off the voice over and the black and white screen. I think I am making progress but cannot unlock it. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks

Unfortunately, using a hair dryer or placing the iPhone in sunlight, at best, will dry the outside of the device. If water got inside, it may still be possible that this water has not dried and can short out the internal battery or cause other circuit damage ... and what you are seeing may be the results of that. I would recommend that you leave the iPhone turned off and take it to your local Apple Store. They may be able to help, but I wouldn't expect them to offer you a replacement. Sorry!

Help with iphone update to 7.0.4 - wont restore or leave the connect to itunes screen

Hello,
I am currently overseas in Thailand and decided to try to update my iso from 6 to 7. Initially I went through settings>software update with a strong connection to wifi - it downloaded on my phone but then instead of updating came with the screen connect to itunes (I am thinking because there wasnt enough space on my iphone?). I have now connected it to a computer with the most updated version of itunes.
The screen on itunes looks like this:
IPhone Recovery Mode
Your iphone software is up to date, iTunes will automatically look for an update again on the 24/2/2014.
The two buttons below say "check for update (grey)" and "restore iphone (can click)" - I have clicked restore iphone and it proceeded to download iphone software update (1.12GB) - once downloaded nothing changes, i cannot apply the download to my iphone and still my iphone has the connect to itunes screen - I have done this twice and nothing has changed.
I would really appreciate any help or advice on what is happening, and why it cant restore my iphone -
Apple tech geeks encouraged to respond!!! please!!! I really need to have my iphone working again.
Thankyou in advance
Elyssa
At all stages I have tried holding the circle button and top button to reset iphone but nothing changes!

Put the iPhone in DFU mode, (Google how to put iPhone in DFU mode).
Shift+Restore if using PC, Option+Restore for Mac, point to already downloaded firmware. You may have to un-hide folders to see the .IPSW file

Sorry, there is nothing you can do.
FYI: Damage like that is not covered by warranty, & all Apple will offer you is an out of warranty replacement...cost, in the US, for an iPhone 4, is US $149.

My iphone 3gs is stuck on connect to itunes screen and it keeps looping with the apple icon screen if I try to reset it, can anybody help?

Please help??? I have tried the reset and it seemed to have made it worse, now it won't charge completely. Any ideas?

Ignore sandeep. Don't use DFU mode. You need to use recovery mode.

Placing your device into recovery mode
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
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.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
Use iTunes to restore the device.
