Everytime i restart iphone, it needs to be plugged into itunes right after?
This is my first iphone and I don't know if this is normal or not, but every time i restart my iphone it says that it needs to be plugged in to itunes before i can even use the phone. Is this normal? What if I were at the store and my sound wasn't working so I had to restart the phone, I don't have itunes near me and now my phone is useless. Is this a common problem? Can it be fixed? Please help. Thanks.
currently 3.1.2 (7d11)
just got back from the apple store, apparently it was the phones problem.. exchanged my phone right there.. everything is fine now, thanks apple.

Iphone 3GS 32gb stuck on plug into itunes screen after trying to update OS
I installed itunes on my new computer. When I plugged in my iphone to sync, itunes identified my phone and offered an OS update. I followed the steps to update and began the process, shortly after there was an error message and now I my phone is paralyzed with the "plug into itunes image". I tried re-plugging the phone into itunes but it will no longer show up. Any ideas?
I had the same problem after updating...I thought that was my phone's problem, so I restored it...unfortunately, i had forgotton my password...I need that password to restore my iphone back up.
Any idea how to recover this password.... Thanks much -

my ipod touch has been disabled and needs to be plugged into itunes to reset it. However, the computer it was last synched with has broken and I don't know what to do!
You need to place the device in recovery mode.
Instructions here > iOS: Unable to update or restore
"If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present" -
I PURCHASED RINGTONES ON MY IPHONE 4S BEFORE I EVEN PLUGGED INTO ITUNES THEN I PLUGGED IT IN FOR THE FIRST TIME AND RINGTONES HAVE DISSAPEARED FROM PHONE HOW DO I GET THEM BACK?
Try restoring from the backup created at the beginning of the sync process:
Without connecting your phone, open iTunes, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
Connect your phone, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears on the left sidebar in iTunes
Select Restore from backup, choosing your most recent backup to restore from
Disconnect your phone and confirm that your photos are back
Go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing. -
Just updated my Apple TV and all it shows now Is a picture of it needing to be plugged into iTunes, do I really need to buy a micro USB cord? This seems absurd!
This indicates the device is in recovery mode.
Connect it to a computer running iTunes and restore it. -
Tried to upgrade my iPhone 4 to 5.1 and now it is stuck in "plug into itunes mode" but will not recover when I plug it in. It is coming up as "unkown error (1)". Is there anything I can do?
Also, is there any way to recover pictures I have not yet backed up? They should be on iTunes, but do not show up when I plug the phone in or otherwise.
Is there any hope in saving this phone or is my best bet contacting Verizon or Apple to overnight me a new one?From iPhoneWiki:
Try changing the USB port (the back one of chassis is better) and restart computer.
The installed version of iTunes may also be too old. Update iTunes.
Also put your iPhone in DFU mode when doing the above and restore. It's a software error. -

My IPhone doesn't turn on and keeps in the "plug-into-Tunes-screen" after update to new IOs 5.0 yesterday. I also tried to restore it, but it still keeps in the plugin mode. In ITunes the IPhone doesn't show up as a device anymore, but Windows 7 detects it as a camera. I started the problem diagnose via ITunes and it says "iPhone can't be found".I'm using the new version of iTunes.
Can anyone help me?I have the exact same problem and have just logged on here to see if anyone can help also? My iphone is up and working but itunes won't recognise it as a device... just updated itunes aswell.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!! -
My iphone 3g is stuck on plug into itunes screen
It did this after I tried updating my phone. I have tried different USB cables. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. I have did the software interference thing. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK so I went to the Apple store and he managed to restart my iPhone by putting it into "recovery mode". I just Googled how to do this as I wasn't there when he did it..
Disconnect the USB cable from your iPhone, but leave the other side connected to your Mac or PC
Launch iTunes
Press and hold down the Home and Sleep/Power button on the top of the iPhone to turn off the iPhone
Press and continue to hold the Home Button while you reconnect the USB cable to your iPhone, this will cause the iPhone to turn on
Continue to hold the Home button until an alert message in iTunes informing you that an iPhone in recovery mode has been detected, like the screenshot below:
Your iPhone is now in recovery mode. If you have not launched iTunes, you will see the familiar screen of the USB cable pointing at the iTunes logo signaling to connect the iPhone to iTunes to start recovery.
Once you’re in recovery mode, you can either restore the iPhone or adjust the firmware as necessary.
After restoring or upgrading firmware, your iPhone will automatically reboot and exit recovery mode on it’s own.
It seems you will also need a wifi connection to complete the recovery mode.
TIP: If you have backed up your iPhone, click the "restore from iTunes back up" (last option) so when you plug it back in, it will restore from your back up instead of restoreing it to the original factory setttings.
NOTE: The above was really hard for me to get working so good luck! I tried a number of times and didn't get any message in iTunes but got my iPhone into what i assume is the "recovery mode". I'm still trying to get access a wi-fi connection to see if this will work but I will post another update once I can give it a go!
Good Luck! And let me know if anyone successful! -
Iphone 3gs stuck on plug into itunes screen after trying to restore get error 1015
i have a iphone 3gs 8gb that was jb and unlocked by the previous now the phone froze and its stuck and i tried the hard reset and now its stuck on the connect to itunes screen how can i fix it?
Manny,
You will need to get help for your problem on another forum. By jailbreaking your phone, you've voided your warranty and eliminated the ability to get help from Apple or from any of Apple's forums, including this one.
Terms of Use of this forum prohibit the discussion of jailbroken phones. You will need to search elsewhere for assistance; know that there is a strong liklihood that you will never get your phone working again. Hope the jb was worth it.
Good luck.

I tried to update my iPhone 5 to iOS7.2 and now it wants me to plug it into a computer. I do not have a computer, so I obviously can't plug it in. I don't know how to fix this.
If you have the 'connect to iTunes' screen then it will need to be connected to a computer's iTunes - do you know a friend or family member who has a computer with iTunes installed that they would let you use, or you could potentially go to an Apple Store and see if they can do it (though preferably make a Genius bar appointment, don't just turn up at a busy time)

I cant plug it into my itunes because my laptop is being fixed.. but even if when it comes back all the data will be lost so if I restore my iphone everything will be lost because I have no backed it up with icloud. I need a way of fixing it without losing the data in my phone.. if there is one.
Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons.. -
