HT201210 I was updating my iphone 4 software and now its jammed - I have the itunes icon and a pic of usb lead so I took that to mean connect to pc. I am told its in recovery mode and I must restore - it errors out and I am jammed
I have gone through all the help I can find on apple and any other sites but the error message is "an unknown error has occured (1) - anyone got any clues not already printed on the usual sites?
Phone out of warranty and contract so unlikely to get a replacement - or am I?
Thanks
Nick
Error -1 indicates a hardware failue. Your phone is broken.
Out of warranty replacement is $149.

I updated my apple TV and now it is frozen with the itunes icon and a picture of the apple TV. ??
How do I fix my apple TV? Since I did the latest update, it has been frozen on a screen which shows the itunes icon and an apple TV with a cord going from one to the other. I have tried unplugging it and plugging back in. I have also tried plugging it into my computer and updating it through itunes and nothing has worked.
It is in recovery mode, it must be connected to a computer and restored via iTunes.
What happens when attempting this? -
Need help was trying to up grade from ios5.1.1 to ios6 after installing for over 40 minutes the final screen came up with the blue iTunes icon and a USB lead leading to it. All I can do is to switch it off. iPad 2 will not turn on to the home screen, it keeps going to the iTunes icon with the lead. When I plug the iPad in to my mac all I get is that the iPad is in recovery mode. HELP!!

I was trying to free up some memory from my startup disk and I may have accidently deleted the Itunes application. I still have a library if I go through finder. I can download Itunes but I'm not able to install it. All this and I still don't have enough space on my startup disk, but that's another whole question!
If I play a tune,it comes through quicktime player. What can I do?Enchanted1 wrote:

No, this should be the number one thing you are concerned about.
Until you get this sorted, there is a good chance you may simply lose everything.
Do you hav ean external drive?
If so copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to the external drive.
Then you can delete /Music/iTunes/ empty the trash and recover this space.
Do this then Apple menu > Software update.
Restart the computer
Then post back. -
Hello, I sure hope someone can help me.

I just had my computer cleaned out.....could it have been something they did? Do I have to uninstall it and reinstall it?? Also when I first opened itunes....I got a pop up window saying something to the effect...that I had 2 itunes and was only allowed 1....and did I wish to transfer my purchases....and I can't remember what else it said....I chose transfer....and those were the only songs I could find on my itunes before it wouldn't let me open it again.....Can someone help PLEASE.....newbie here
You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone.
So, yes, you need to get a sim card. -

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything... and you must continue with the Recovery...

Did you try to connect in recovery mode to your computer, explained in this article?

i just plugged my iphone in to download some pix to my computer and my phone is now showing a plug with the itunes icon and its telling me I have to restore my phone and will lose all my data. *** is going on and how can I go back?
"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one. -
Updated my iphone with iOS7.0.3, still dont have the option to reject the call or reject the call with a message when someone call and the phone is in the lock screen? I was of the impression that this issue will be fixed with updates. Please see the screenshot.
Hello Beardsell,
This is when the phone is unlocked mode. My snapshot is when the phone is locked.
Remember when you get a call when the phone is locked and you used to have slide to answer in iOS 6 and if you slide up you would have options to reject, reject with a message and reject with a reminder. We dont have that in iOS 7. iOS 7 *****, I cannot get back to iOS6, apple needs to be user friendly. Screen shot 1 when the phone is locked, screenshot 2 when the phone is unlocked. -
The message"itunes has detected a iphone in recovery mode. You must restore the iphone before it caan be used on itunes." yet when i do i still get the same message!!!
You have to restore the iPod, no ifs, ands, or buts...
After iOS is installed you will be asked if you what to set it up as a new iPod or if you want to restore from a backup.
If you have a good backup you can restore that and you're good to go.
If you don't have a good backup, then you end up with a "clean" iPod.... -
After I downloaded iOS7 and my iPhone turned off I keep getting this message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." I dont wanna lose some stuff from my iPhone.
During a normal install of iOS 7.0.6 this does not happen but something clearly went wrong in your installation.
To fix this, connect to iTunes and restore to Factory. Hopefully your iPad will be working again and you can restore your iCloud backup during Setup. -
after itunes finishes restoring my ipod touch 8gb, itunes still says itunes has detected an ipod touch recovery mode. You must restore it before using it with itunes. and i dont know what to do
Are you sure it is 1043? I've never seen that error before. But you can try disabling your security software, connecting the phone to a USB port directly on the computer (not a hub), and trying to restore again.

i'm 11 and my ipod4 is in recovery mode because It's disabled I went to itunes and it said ipod in recovery mode found you must restore so i clicked ok went to files devices but it wouldn't let me click back up whats going on?
Because you can't backup a device that is in Recovery mode.
You have to restore the iPod and restore from backup if you have a backup
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
