  • Why does my ipod have on the screen the itunes symbol and the cord and an arrow pointing to the itunes symbol?  I can't get it to do anything.

    Why does my ipod have on its screen the itunes symbol and the cord with an arrow pointing to the itunes symbol.  I can't do anything with my ipod now!

    Plug it into iTunes. If that does not work hold the power and home button untill the screen turns off then let go of the power button but KEEP holding the home button... this should bypass the connect to iTunes screen. Hope it helps.

  • When ever i turn on my ipod i get the itunes symbol and the cord

    HELP! Yesterday my itouch 2nd generation 16Gb turned off and so i charged it thinking it would turn on like usual but when i turned it on, the apple showed up and then it would show the itunes symbol and the cord that you use to connect your ipod to the computer. So thinking that it would unlock my itouch, i plugged it into the computer but then a box appeared that said.... "itunes could not connect to your ipod "ipod touch" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the ipod before it can be used with itunes." But the problem with that is that i can't get onto my ipod because of the symbol saying htat i need to plug it into the computer and connect with itunes. Is there anything i can do to get it to unfreeze so i can enter my passcode??
    p.s... I tried turning it off and turning it back on and i also tried pressing the top button and the center button trying to unfreeze my ipod touch.

    this might work..I had the same problem and it worked for me...
    You need to put your touch into recovery mode and then restore it. Here's how:
    1. Disconnect it from your computer
    2. Hold down the Sleep/Wake switch until you see the red slider. Turn it off.
    3. Start iTunes
    4. Hold down the Home button and keep holding it down while you plug the iPod back into your computer.
    5. Keep holding down the Home button until iTunes responds with "and iPod has been detected in Recovery Mode". Release the Home button and follow the onscreen instructions to restore.

  • Itunes symbol and USB cord picture on screen

    I was trying to update to the latest, 8.1.3 I believe, and my phone turned itself off and when I turned it back on, all I can get is the iTunes symbol and a picture of a USB plug.  I have turned the phone off and on several times and tried to reset.  ITunes prompts gave the options to reset to factory settings or update.  I tried both at different times and still can not get anything except the two symbols.  Please help.

    So, perhaps you should do what the iPhone is instructing you to do?  Connect it to iTunes?
    " ITunes prompts gave the options to reset to factory settings or update."
    Seems like they already connected to iTunes. If iTunes will not restore the device as new place your phone in DFU mode (do a web search) and then restore with iTunes. You will lose everything on the phone, well actually you already have lost everything. You can download apps, music and videos that you have purchased when your device is working.
    If DFU mode fails that take the device to an Apple store to have it evaluated.

    Since updating my Apple TV, all that will show up is the iTunes symbol and a cord. What do I do next?

    When I updated via iTunes, it told me to reconnect to my TV, and I got that screen. I gave it a few minutes, and did a force reset (down+menu on remote). Activation took a long time for me, but it eventually came back up.

    I don't know what happened.  When we moved I lost my Ipod cord so I bought a holder that would play and charge my ipod.  Now it is showing an itunes symbol the cd with the blue music note in front of it  iTunes written underneath it and a picture of a usb cable with an arrow going towards the iTunes symbol.  Does anyone know why this is doing this and how do I fix it.  I bought a new usb cord for my Ipod touch and plugged it in to my computer and nothing happend.  I have a password on my ipod and I can't get that screen image to show up all that I see is what I explained above.  Can anyone help me?

    Try placing the iPod into Recovery Mode and restoring it via iTunes. See this article for instructions on getting your iPod into Recovery Mode.

  • TS1871 my ipad is frozen !! on the screen it has itunes symbol and usb cord under it cant get it to espond

    ipad is frozen

    Hey lyndafrompalatka,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like your iPad is in recovery mode. If you cannot exit recovery mode by restarting or resetting your device, you’ll have to restore the device with iTunes. For more information on recovery mode, see the following resource:
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • My phone is frozen with the itunes symbol and usb cord. Tried to update and cannot, any suggestions

    My phone is frozen with Itunes and a USB cord icons, I tried to shut it off and update and cannot..... any suggestions?

    First of all, your post says you have an iPhone 3G running iOS 6.0.1.  That is not possible, as the iPhone 3G cannot run any iOS past 4.2.1.
    So, if you simply made a mistake with that information, we can proceed.  If not, your iPhone was hacked or jailbroken, and likely cannot be saved.
    Try recovery mode as described below.  You may have to try to put the iPhone into recovery mode more than once.

  • HT201210 I tried to restore my iPhone 4s through iTunes and received error message that Restore could not be completed due to error 2003. Phone now not recognized in iTunes, with prompt to restore, phone w/screen with iTunes symbol and can't use.

    I tried to restore my iPhone 4s through iTunes and received error message that Restore could not be completed due to error 2003. Phone now not recognized in iTunes, with repeated prompts to restore phone. Now phone w/screen with iTunes symbol and USB cord can't use. It appears the phone has been restored, but I cannot activate it.
    I disabled my anti-software, iTunes and computer software (microsoft vista) are both up to date, I restarted the computer several times. My usb ports are working properly. I followed the troubleshooting suggestions from apple.

    yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
    and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
    trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
    no worries

  • ITunes logo and usb cord showing on iPad 2 after iOS 8.02 update

    I updated my iPad 2 last night with ios8.02.   Immediately after the update, my iPad was frozen with the iTunes logo and power cord.  When I conned to iTunes, the error message says my iPad is set to recovery mode and when selecting the option to restore, the message "Are you sure you want to restore the iPad “iPad” to its factory settings? All of your media and other data will be erased, and the newest version of the iPad software will be installed" appears. 
    Well, I obviously do not want to lose the last photos of my mother who passed away on July 1st, not to mention the countless things included in the full 64 GB hard drive, so I called Apple support. Their advice was to restore and hope iCloud backup has the data.
    I'm on hold right now waiting for a "Senior Advisor" to provide a solution.  I have been on hold for 49 min 58 seconds.
    Does anyone have a fixe to this un-vetted upgrade release gaff? Whoever authorized this release needs to leave Apple and apply for a job selling popcorn with the LA Clippers.

    Hi,
    I had the same problem for the past 24 hours.
    I found the below advice resolved my problem completely.
    Basically, rebooted mbp, restored iPad from previous back up = iPad 3 back to normal.
    Phew...that was a tad frightening !
    Hope it helps you....
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
    Kind regards,
