Frozen on itunes connect screen

My phone froze today and gave me a black screen. In attempts to fix it, I tried restarting the phone. The phone froze at the power off screen and didn't respond to manually restarting. I was able to sync the phone in this state with iTunes, and felt that restoring was my only option. The phone was restoring until it reached the screen asking it to connect to iTunes, where it promptly froze and iTunes stopped acknowledging it. I've tried connecting to another usb port, restarting itunes, restarting the computer, rebooting the phone. The phone will power off and on, but always go back to the iTunes connect screen. I've tried restarting via DFU, but nothing works.

same exact thing happened to me.. i tried installing 2.2.1 & it crashed half way through..
I had to restore & reinstall.. the 2nd time worked - sort of... the phone was updated, now, windows doesn't recognize my iphone AT ALL!
I plug it in to the USB port & nothing happens - i'ved tried on 2 separate PCs where this was working last week. As a bonus, my mic stopped working - so i could dial out & hear the other person, but they couldn't hear me.
Tonight, I performed a reset and erase all data - now i'm completely stuck on the connect to Itunes screen with the cable & CD.
This was a replacement phone b/c my orig had other issues. I've had this only ~6months.
mine isn't jailbroken or hacked - i've played by the rules & I'm going to get screwed b/c the replacement doesn't come with a 1yr warranty like my orig.

  • Is there any way to regain access to phone stuck on itunes connect screen?

    My iphone 4S is requiring me to connect to itunes via USB to do the latest software update, 8.1.2. The phone is just locked out of any normal functionality, just the itunes connect screen.
    I have tried to just do an update for the software, but it says I have to do a factory restore and will lose all photos, videos, documents, etc.
    I am guessing this is because I have less that 1G of free space.
    Is there any way I can gain access of the phone to delete stuff I do not need on there, so I can update successfully?
    (it wouldn't be such a big deal about the restore but I have audio files needed for a court case on this phone).

    No.  The state that your phone is in recovery mode, there is no data on the phone.
    You must use iTunes to restore your phone and then use the last backup that you have

  • HT4623 stuck on itunes connection screen after repair

    i recently had to have charge port replaced on ipad 1 and now we are stuck on itunes connection screen.  when connected to computer, it says need to enter passcode on ipad.  not getting lightning bolt or "not charging" on ipad screen.  port and cord are both funtional and working with other devices. have restarted both computer and ipad.  any thoughts?

    Yes - that means that you have to restore the iPad. If it is asking for the passcode - enter it and restore the device. If you can't remember the passcode or don't know what it is, you probably have to use recovery mode to restore the device.

  • HT2292 Phone indicates connection to itunes on screen, will not function, after rebooting the itunes connection screen is still there.

    While downloading update, itune connection screen will not go away, phone will not work even after rebooting with itunes connection screen reappearing

    Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

  • Today I Reset All of the settings on my iPhone 3G.  Now I cannot get it to do anything and all I get is the iTunes connect screen.  I have tried EVERYTHING!!!  What am I supposed to do now?

    Just like the subject line says, I reset my iPhone 3g which  I just bought from a friend for $50.  The device worked just fine and then I performed a complete reset on the phone.  The one that says it may take up to two hours...  Well I left and came back about 8 hours later.  I pressed the Home button to view the screen and I now see that my phone is "locked" and I can only make emergency calls.  There was no cell service before but I was still able to browse the phone and use it's features. 
    Now I can do nothing with the phone, I have tried to force it into recovery, I have performed both the soft and hard resets and I am at a loss.  I have always been against anything Apple as an IT Professional and now this reaffirms why.  My EVO from HTC (Linux based) has never had one single problem and I have rooted it, flashed a new ROM and flashed a new Kernel. 
    The iPhone was not even Jailbroken or unlocked.  And to make it all worse, the only language that it displays is Spanish?!?!  ***???
    Why didn't the iPhone tell me that it was going to ruin my device and change the default language to Spanish instead of simply stating it would take two hours? 
    I have worked on this phone all night, now I'm out of $50 and was going to sell this on eBay for an easy $250.00.  What the heck is wrong with this POS?  And why won't Apple offer any support without having to pay them?  If I pay them for support and then they can't get it to work then what?  I'm screwed their too?
    There is nothing left to do but smash this thing, I wish I would have never bought it, and I even wasted $20 on a new home/car charger for it.  I'm so mad I can't hardly stand it.  This is why I ONLY use ANDROID based devices and I recommend that you ALL do the same!
    But, if anyone can provide any insight into this issue it would be much appreciated.  It's just not fair that it sits with this stupid "connect me to iTunes screen" yet does nothing. AHHHHHHHHHH!
    Please HELP ME SOMEONE!!!!
    By the way, I have tried ths on my Windows 7 PC and my XP laptop.  Same result.  iTunes and the computer will NOT recognize the device in any way no matter what mode I start the phone in.  It just refuses to work.

    - Try here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not success and you can't turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain and then try again.
    - Time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Hey 34grumpy4u,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that your iPod touch is currently in recovery mode, and needs to be restored. You can restore your iPod with any computer, then transfer your information back to your iPod once you have access to your backup (whether it was made via iCloud or iTunes).

  • ITunes connect screen after iOS4 upgrade

    Hello Everyone,
    Only thing that has changed in the last 24 hours is the software on the phone to the new iOS4. It has happened 2x this AM where I will pull my phone out of my pocket and it is displaying the plug into iTunes message, and I am only able to make emergency calls. If you open the little information button on the bottom right hand near the slider bar it shows the IMEI as unknown along with the SIM as unknown. Haven't seen anything online like this for the 3GS as of yet, hopefully I am not the only one. When I get home I am thinking about downgrading the OS. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated!
    Thanks

    I had a similar problem. iPhone found wifi, lost wifi, accepted password, lost password, saw networks, lost networks, displayed network address, lost the address.
    If your iPhone is experiencing intermittent wifi connections try this Trouble Shooting Guide http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
    If it turns out you have a hardware problem and you're still under warranty take your phone to the Apple Store and have them fix it. If you're out of warranty you can try the fix I did to get my wifi back http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1azZWWkmSg

  • ITunes connect screen showing while restoring.  Stuck for hours. Need help

    I tried to update my phone. Now it is stuck and says it is restoring. Do I just leave it?  I tried this earlier and waited 2 hours

    Open current iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB cable, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, click the Restore button of iTunes.

  • I followed the steps to restore to factory settings now I can't get back my info from a prior backup. My pads screen was frozen on the connect to iTunes I needed to restore. I had to setup my pad as if it was new. How do I acess my prior backup

    I followed the steps to restore to factory settings now I can't get back my info from a prior backup. My pads screen was frozen on the connect to iTunes I needed to restore. I had to setup my pad as if it was new. How do I acess my prior backup

    Once again, KP is correct, but I just want to add that if you don't see the backup in the drop down menu on the summary page of iTunes when you choose the restore from backup option, then the backup is unfortunately gone. If you backup your computer, the iPad backup should probably be in that computer backup. I use Time Machine with my MacBook Pro and can access backups from months ago.
    On a side note, I also archive backups from time to time. If you right click on a backup name in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>Devices (Windows) or iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Mac) you can save that backup or archive it. It will be date and time stamped. I have no idea why I do this to the degree that I do it, but I probably have 12-14 iPad backups archived in iTunes.
