How to get connect to itunes logo off screen without restoring it

I have an iphone and last night I tried to update it. When I woke up it had a connect to itunes logo on the screen. I tried turning it on and off again, but that didn't work. I would try to restore it but I have never connected my iphone to itunes so it won't recognize it and none of my music or apps or photos are backed up. Is there any way to get the connect to itunes logo off the screen without restoring it so I can just go back to using my phone? Thanks!

You should back up your phone on a regular basis. That way you will avoid headaches like the one now.
Your iPhone is in recovery mode. I belive there is not option but to restore it.

  • HT4623 My iPhone is locked with the connect to iTunes logo on screen. I have connected and trying to restore but it is not working. I have turned it on and off but to no avail.

    This has happened doing the latest software update. I think I accidentally deleted iTunes before doing the latest update in trying to make room on the phone when it came up with limited space.

  • HT1212 How do i restore my iphone 4 when it does not have current IOS and i have forgotten passcode.  Not showing in itunes but has connect to itunes logo on screen???

    I previously had an iPhone 4 which has since been put away in a drawer now that I have an iPhone 5.  I would like to give my iphone 4 to someone else to use but could not remember my passcode - have tried a few times (I believe I have one more try before it gets disabled - so I have stopped trying).  Read somewhere that you can just restore your phone which works for me as I wanted to clear it anyway.  When I connect my phone to itunes and clicked on restore it said update and restore which I clicked on and left it to do its work.  However, a while later an error code popped up saying that it could not update or back up the phone as the phone was locked .  Now my phone just has the itunes logo on it but when I connect the phone to the computer and I manually open itunes, my phone is not recognised. 
    What can I do?  Please help!!!

  • How to get back windows that are off screen?

    I use my macbook at work with one attached display, and then at home with a different attached display. The two extra displays are different sizes. A lot of times when I plug it into the smaller of the two displays, some of the windows come up off screen and I can't figure out how to drag them back on. For example now I have a Microsoft Word window where the bottom half is on the screen, and the top half is up above the top of the screen. The only way I know to move a window is to grab the top edge and drag it, but the top edge is off the screen so I can't do that.
    Also sometimes a window is bigger than the screen height, and the only way I know to make it smaller is to drag the bottom right corner, but the bottom right corner is off the screen and the window height is bigger than the monitor height.
    Is there a way to get these windows back all the way onto the screen? Thanks.

    This is one of the most serious flaws of the Macintosh, and in many instances there is just NO answer. You could resort to writing a script using the Script Editor, but this seems a tough way to get round what is essentially a bug in the OS - it has been there for over 20 years and I don't think Apple are about to realise that the age of multiple screens and changing screen sizes is here NOW and it is time to change so we can resize from any border like all other modern OSs.
    If you want to try the script approach - try this link for help:

    Reboot the computer then try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restoring via iTunes.
    Next try DFU mode.

  • How to get rid of apple logo loop off rebut? tried restore.

    I tried the bellow. restored it twice. this morning i tried to update to ios 6.1.2 i'd be updating from like ios 4. something. i had tried to update to 5 but it never would. so i figured i'd give it a try. So i started it. It's said verifying then started. Everything looked like it was working and then it started a loop with the apple logo. it will restart, but only to go back into apple logo. someone suggested this on another page for the same issue. But even this is not working. I've got work, and i've got to get this thing up and running. please help.
    First, turn your phone off: Press both the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until your phone turns off...black screen...then release. Then:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

    Hi there,
    Under +iDVD > Preferences+ in the top menu bar, you can unselect the "Show Apple logo watermark" checkbox. As long as that box is unchecked, your DVD will be logo-free.

  • TS1368 how do i connect to the network off my itunes? its saying theres no interenet connection even though there is

    how do i connect to the network off my itunes? its saying theres no interenet connection even though there is

    Yes and I do understand that! Thank you. There is no option to do an auto channel. Its 1-11 or 36, 40, 44 or 48. Then when it asks for a security its 40 bit WPA or 128 bit WPA. Unsure what that means? If I choose either of those Security options I have to have a certain number of characters for my password, and neither of those options fit the password that was given to me.
    Any suggestions?

  • HT1430 os7 does not behave on email with notifications ,getting connect to itunes to use push notifcations. will not recognize my wifi password

    os7 does not recognize wi fi password
    message connect to itunes to use push notifications pops up
    I have no idea how to do this step by step
    ATT&T told me to do something with icloud
    I am clueless

    I had the same exact problem with my iPhone 4. I fixed it by putting my phone in restore mode and then kicking it back out of it. I mention 2 ways. The 1st one is something I think should work because it is based around the same concept. The 2nd method is what I used and is a bit more risky but thats the one I used.
    1st method (can't confirm that this works but it just might)
    The hard reboot. this is done by holding the HOME and POWER button at the same time until the screen goes blank. Then turn it on again using just the POWER button. This will take a while to turn on so don't panic just have some patience.
    2nd method (the one I used)
    This is how to do it.
    BACK UP before attempting this. The restore mode I used is a kind of a bootable mode which is reversable (not sure if it works on other phone, so IPHONE 4 PEOPLE ONLY).
    Turn the phone off the normal way. After it is turned off, hold the HOME button and connect the USB. Continue holding the HOME button until connect to itunes logo on the phone shows up and itunes will pop up saying "a device in restore mode..".
    Dissconnect the USB. Now hold the POWER button until the phone turns off (it will after 10 seconds or so). Now turn it on again using the POWER button. It might take a while to turn on(don't panic, have patience). With any luck all the notifications should work and you should be able to sign in into imessage and facetime.

  • My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..

    My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..
    So how do I create a separate I tunes on a PC which already has itunes... Or if not can I plug my iPad to the PC and use itunes on my iPad, and drag mp3s from a computer.
    I'm not sure what the equivalent of a desktop is on the iPad.. And I don't actually know how to use the icloud either...
    Can anyone start me off, given it have a iPad and use of a PC - not mine with existing iplayer
    I do have spotify soundcloud so I could potentially use these.. If there is a route of getting either mp3's etc to end up on my iPad or iPod.
    Kind Regards

  • My ipad mini says to connect to itunes, and I try to restore it, but after its done extracting a message comes up saying that device is not found, is there anyway i can fix this? I don't care if i don't get my stuff back

    My iPad mini says to connect to iTunes, and I try to restore it, but after its done extracting a message comes up saying that device is not found, is there anyway i can fix this? I don't care if i don't get my stuff back, i just want my iPad restored to its starting settings.

    If everything else that you try fails, I would try using another computer. Since you don't care about saving any data, any computer that is running the latest version of iTunes might be able to restore the iPad. You could make an appointment at an Apple Store Genius Bar and they can do it for you.
    If that isn't feasible for you, try using a different cable, a different USB port. reboot the computer, and reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Then try again.
