How do I get my iphone to go back to the normal screen?

How do I get my iphone to go back to the normal screen? I was in the middle of updating my iPhone's software, therefore it was plugged into my computer and synced to my iTunes. However my iTunes alerted me that it needed updating first and so I did. Had to restart my computer, all the while, my iPhone is attached. Once I try to sync my iphone with my itunes, it now pops up with an alert telling me to restore my iphone before syncing. I have already tried restarting my iphone and plugging it back in, and plugging it into the charger, but nothing changes. Everytime I restart the phone, it ends up on the same screen telling me to plug in the usb to itunes. Help please! How do I just get back to a normal screen so I can ultimately update the software on my iphone the correct way!?

Not sure if you tried this, but did you hold down both the sleep and home button for 10 seconds?

As you didn't say what kind of computer, what operating system, or what version of iTunes it is very hard to give any meaningful advice. You might start with these:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

On my new 4S, how do I get my contact pic to display on the full screen when that contact calls? Now it displays as a thumbnail on the banner

Right now when someone calls that I have a contact pic set for, it shows as a thumbnail on the right side of the banner (right corner of screen). I want it to come up on the whole screen like I see other iphones do. I was told at first that this happens when I use a pic not taken with my phone, such as an uploaded pic from my pc. This is not the case, the only 2 that I have tried to do were pics taken with the iphone. Can someone help me to get this corrected? I have spent over 2 hours with verizon, they cannot figure it out and I also have a senior technical advisor at Apple trying to figure it out, but I am curious if anyone has come across this with the new 4S and how they fixed it. The senior apple advisor thinks it has something to do with syncing my contacts through itunes or google.

Is it because the portable drive is NTFS format and the Mac wont recognise this? If so what do I do?
Yes, this is exactly what is causing the problem. Macs cannot write to NTFS formatted drives, only read. You must move the documents to the internal HDD/SSD of the Mac to be able to edit them.
Or, since you say you don't want to move the documents to the internal storage, you'll need to format the external HDD as FAT32.

After restoring my phone as New, how do I get my contacts and data back without the restrictions password

I forgot my restrictions password so I restored my Iphone as a New phone. Now, how do I get the contacts, apps and other data back on the Iphone? Can I restore my contacts & data without it also requiring a restrictions password again?

Thanks for replying. I had to do this process in order to get ICloud activated so I don't have it there. I do have an external backup of the Itunes library, but it sounds like that would also restore the restriction password that I don't know.
Why would ICloud be different (if I had backed up there?) Does it only save data?
And It sounds like I need to keep my contacts in another source .... such as? ... No, I don't use email much and my contacts arec the phone numbers I've captured in my phone. After I have them backed up to ICloud, do I also need to make sure they are somewhere else to where I won't run into losing them again?
appreciate your experience and help.

How can I get my hard drive icon back on the desktop

I just erased my hard drive on my Intel MacBook getting ready to give it to my daughter. I had the Snow Leopard install disc in the drive and used Disc Utility to erase the drive. I then installed Snow Leopard and everything went smoothly without a hitch.
Other than -- the icon for the hard drive is not on the desktop! I can open a Finder window and see everything that should be on the drive after an erase and reinstall, but the drive is not there.
How can I get it back?
TIA
I am so sorry! This question has been answered more than once. I searched but didn't find it. When I posted this, however, the list of similar questions that pops up next to the message sent me to a simple fix and now all is well.
Again, sorry for having cluttered up the board with this question.

HT3951 I have an iPod touch and recently had to reset it when it stopped working properly. I finally got everything synced back on it, but the ringtones that I *purchased* won't get back on my iPod. how do I get my already purchased ringtones back on the

They show up in my iTunes on my computer, but they're absent from my 'purchases' in the iTunes store. This angers me greatly. I do not want to buy them again, that's ridiculous. How do I get them to show up again on my iPod?? Thanks in advance.
Oh wait nevermind I got it. Carry on.

- Do you have to right boxes checked in the Tones pane of iTunes for the iPod to get them synced to the iPod:
- Were the tones purchased with the same account as all the other media on the iPod?

How do I get my google search bar back in the middle of my page insead of the Blank searh engine that is on my start up page now

Before I did the last upgrade with Firefox, I had the Google search bar in the middle of my start page. Now , after the upgrade, my Google search bar is up on a tool bar at top of the page and the when you type something in the large Firefox box in the middle of the page does nothing even though it has the Search box to the right of it. The restore last session is under that. I just have a large box in the middle of start page that does nothing. I wish that was my Google search box again.

''Restoring Google Search page as the home page''
What you are looking at on the web page is a '''search form''', not a search bar. Mozilla changed the default home page to '''about:home''' which is supposed to be faster because it is on your computer, but they piled on a few ornaments. There is a space which is essentially advertising space for Mozilla, or to tell you that you have a previous session available below the search form area.
You can replace that page with a real Google Search page http://www.google.com which like other Google pages has links at the top to other Google applications and tells you if you are logged into Google such as for GMail.
"Alt" > Tools > '''Options''' > General >
:When Firefox starts: "Show my homepage":
:Home Page: http://www.google.com
:Press "Ok" at the bottom of the options window.
Specific information on installing a home page is in
:http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page
''Some problems with terminology''
The '''search bar''' is part of your toolbars and you can bring up any search engine you want in it.
Google has their own "Google Toolbar" extension, which you would do well to avoid.
The large empty space on the '''about:home''' default home page, is to tell you that you have a previous session available. You don't need that notification you can bring up your "Previous Session" from the History menu, and after that you can bring up previous windows (or all of them also from same History menu).
In fact if you would like to see the notification at the end of your session, enabling you to restore your current tabs see item #31 (#tabslost) in the following: ...
You can make Firefox '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.18, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6)].

My iphone 4s is importing contact information from FB and my email account. When I pull up my contacts it only shows e-mail information and the phone numbers have disappeared. How do I get my old contact list back with the phone numbers?

My iphone 4s is importing contact information from FB and my e-mail account. When I try to look at my contact list it is showing everyone I have on those lists and it only shows their email addresses. The phone numbers for my contacts have disappeared and I don't know how to get them back.

Hi macmac57. I don't memorize my numbers anymore, so I know how important it is to have all your contacts on your phone at all times. Did an update occur or a new application download when your contacts disappeared? Have you been backing up your device with your computer? You can try to restore your contacts from your last backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Are you syncing your iPhone between multiple computers? This can sometimes create issues with your contacts. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1474
If you were already using iCloud to back up your contacts, check out http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998 for some great tips from Apple.
I do hope this has been helpful for you to restore your contacts.

How do I get my iPhone 5s to back up to iCloud?

I just got my iPhone 5s, and I tried to back up my photos to iCloud, but I found that only some of htem backed up when I went to photostream. When I went to photodate, I found that the apps before September 18th (the day iOS 7 came out) didn't back up. Only the photos taken with iOS 7 backed up. I have about two photos that were taken on my old 4S, so I think it's iOS. Anyone have any ideas of how to get those photos to back up? I think it's just a glitch, so I hope apple sees this question. If you're having the same problem, please write that. Could iCloud also be not backing up other things, and I just don't know about it? I have camera roll checked in the iCloud management page. By it, it says 1.5 GB, so I know it realizes there are more photos in the camera roll. What should I do? Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks

Hey iphoneboy16
Create a Shared Photo Stream to get any missed photos that did not make it into the Photo Stream. Remember, when you turned on Photo Stream it will start to copy new photos taken at that point in time. It also only holds the pictures for 30 days and up to 1000 photos.

How do I get my iphone 4 to play through the ear piece?

I bought an iPhone 4 yesterday.
I cannot get it to play through the headset (ANY headset; I have tried several). I have tried it in the ipod and the phone mode and checked all the settings. The finger tips explain nothing and I can find no other information to tell me how to make it play through the headset. It seems as though I should only have to plug in the headset and I should be able to hear through the headset rather than the iphone itself.
I've had over 25 Apple (hardware) products over many years, and this is truly the most difficult to comprehend or use.
It must be some simple button to tap on.
