HT1212 iPhone disabled - Connect to itunes. Tried everything!

My iphone keeps saying "iPhone is disabled, connect to itunes". Im not using the computer that i last synced on, so ive been taking the steps to put itno recovery mode. It starts doing it then stops and a message pops up saying that i need to enter the passcode. PLEASE HELP.

It sounds like you have not successfully entered recovery mode.
There are two more things to try. If the first thing you try fails, try the next.
Two Button Reset.
This is the least likely to result in loss of data.  Read that again, especially the phrase "least likley."
Unplug the iPhone from the computer.
Press and hold both the home and the sleep/wake buttons (ignore the red slider) until you see the silver Apple logo.
When you see the logo, let both buttons go.
If this worked, you should see an icon instructing you to connect to iTunes.  My guess is that the reset did not work.
DFU RestoreT
This will very likley result in loss of data.
Plug the iPhone into the computer.
Ensure that it is running the latest version of iTunes and that it has access to the internet.
Press and hold both the home and sleep/wake buttons for exactly eight seconds.
Release only the sleep/wake button but continue to hold the home button for another five seconds.
Let go of the home button, then look at the computer screen for an instructional popup.
The popup should say "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode. . .(etc)"  Click accept to all boxes and let iTunes download and install all of the latest device Firmware and Software.
If no popup appears, repeat the above DFU instructions.  If you 've never done a DFU, it may take about three attempts to get the timing right.

  • HT1212 hi, I have an Iphone 4 and I've recently changed my passcode but forgot it the next day. After several attempts to unlock the phone says iphone disabled connect to itunes however my phone is not synced to itunes or any computer so what do i do?

    You will have to put your phone into recovery mode and restore the phone as new. Since you don't have a back up, you will lose all the data on your phone but you will be able to use it again.

    The number pad would not let me type in a 1 2 3 for my 4 digit code.  After numerous tries, the phone now says iphone disabled connect to itunes.  When I connected to itunes, it asked for the code which I was unable to enter.  Help!

    Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons on iPhone until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.

  • Iphone disabled connect to itunes

    Hi,
    My daughter has forgotten her password on her iphone and after too many attempts, it says iphone disabled, connect to itunes.  I connected to itunes but now what?  Am I going to need to restore and all is erased?
    Thank you for any help,
    Sheryl

    I synced the phone and it is back to the normal enter passcode screen, it's not disabled.  What do I do at this point.  She knows the 4 numbers that she entered but does not remember the sequence and I don't want to start trying them again.  Any advice what I can do at this point?

  • HT1688 my iphone is locked, it said iphone disabled connect to itunes

    my iphone us locked, it said iphone disabled connect to itunes.

    If it is locked from entering the wrong passcode too many times you'll have to restore it with iTunes on the last computer it was synced with.  If you don't have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

  • IPhone disable, connect to itunes

    Hi,
    I dropped my iPhone 4 in the toilet about a month ago and it stopped working, i put it in rice and left it. I went to try and turn it on today and it worked, but it says "iPhone disabled, connect to iTunes" so I connected it to iTunes and it says "to allow access, please respond on your iPhone" but my iPhone won't let me have access unless it's connected to iTunes. Lose lose. It may be because the computer that my phone is backed up to is in another country. Please help if anyone has any answers. TY
