My iPad 2 is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen after trying software update
I was updating my software on my iPad 2. Now it is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen. Help!
That is telling you to connect to iTunes on your computer because now you need to restore the device. Something went wrong when you updated. So connect you iPad to your computer's iTunes and restore.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software -
I recieved an iPad mini as gift this past spring (2013). I tried to upate my iPad to the new iOS 7.0.4 software. It seemed work fine, but when it reboted it got stuck on the connect to itunes screen. I've connected my iPad to itunes and it does not recognize it. When I connected my iPhone 5s to itunes it recognized it immediately. Will apple replace my ipad if the connect to itunes screen doesn't go away?
The iPad doesn't need to be replaced.
FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note: Data will be lost -
IiPad is stuck in the iTunes connect screen. I have held the home button down while plugging the iPad in and still nothing. Hard reset isn't even doing anything. It's not even showing up under my computer. Please Help
Did you get a message that the iPad is disabled?

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

My Ipad is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen, I have tried plugging into iTunes but it makes the necessary noise but the computer does not recognise it and nothing alters on the Ipad screen. Have tried various computers and leads and it still does not work. Have also tried the switching off, plugging in to computer and turning on again using the on button and then the home button but nothing works. This happened while I was downloading software update. Please help me.
I suggested several things to GeekyNerdGirl in her first post here. Take a look.
My iPad is in what seems like permanent restore mode after iOS 7.2 update?
It can take more than a few attempts before Recovery Mode will work and you have to follow the steps exactly. DFU mode is even harder to perform correctly beside of the 10 second hold. Don't stop trying. Eventually one of these methods could work for you. -
Upon initial startup my ipad 2 is stuck on the connect to itunes screen.
how can i get around this and start using my ipad2 without connecting to itunes.If it hasn't got iOS 5+ pre-installed then you will need to connect it to a computer's iTunes in order to activate it.

My Ipad has been stuck on the connect to Itunes screen now for days, it will not charge through the PC or wall charger. When plugged into the PC it is not recognized by it. Itunes doesn't see it and it will not let me reboot the system. How can I get past this so I can start using it again?
Hello Aloe_85,
This screen indicates that your device must be restored before it can be used again. The steps detailed in the article below can help get your iPad to reappear in iTunes so that it may be restored.

I was attempting to update my iPhone 4 to the new iOS 7.0.4 via my computer after I plugged it in to create a backup copy and something went wrong before it could finish and I recieved an error message. Now my phone is stuck on the "Connect to iTunes screen". I've tried everything to reset & restore my phone with no luck!
I have:
-Restarted my computer
-Updated iTunes to most current version
-Turned phone on and off several times, waiting up to a half hour before turning on (to be greeted directly with apple logo then the connect to iTunes screen)
-Turned on, turned on and held home button (nothing happens)
-My computer is NOT recognizing my device at ALL! But when I plugged my boyfriends iPhone in, it detected it no problem.
I tried calling my phone from the other phone and it goes straight to voicemail. I am super frustrated! Does anybody know what is going on?I was able to restore my phone!!!
I called Apple and they said there was nothing more I could do. I called my carrier Verizon and was able to get my computer to recognize my device after trying this-
Solution:
After trying EVERYTHING this is the ONLY thing that worked-
I took the USB connector cable out of the USB port it was in, and tried another one on the otherside of my laptop and iTunes was able to discover my phone in recovery mode. My phone was reset and everything is fine ( thank gosh for backup copies!) -
Since my iPhone 4S was stuck on the connect to iTunes screen after updating to iOS 7, I followed these instructions and restored. But nothing changed! I still have the same picture of a plug with arrow to iTunes.
It is restored now. Thanks for the comment about disabling firewalls - we did that and tried again and it worked.

I did the 4.2 update on my iPhone 3g. But after downloading and updating it, the phone is now stuck on the 'connect to iTunes' screen and does not move further. Tried the recovery mode operation also, but everytime in the end, it hangs at the end and shows the ''We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.' I tried all the usual suggestions of updating iTunes version and updating the Windows updates, but no luck. Even uninstalled the anti-virus. Please help.
It is restored now. Thanks for the comment about disabling firewalls - we did that and tried again and it worked.
