what if itunes cant find my iphone when its in recovery mode?

Any possibility of opening it up and trying to troubleshoot it. Mine has completely died also. I'm seeing quite a few psots about this freakin' phone breaking. I've never dropped mine or gotten it wet, I barely use it & only had it a little over a year. Mine at this point will be used for target practice.

  • HT4993 iTunes update has my iphone 5 stuck in recovery mode

    I recently installed the latest version of iTunes on my PC and then connected my iphone 5 to sync a playlist to my iphone 5.
    When I connected my iphone 5 with the usb to my pc iTunes said that I needed to update the itunes software on my iphon
    I followed the instructions itunes gave and clicked to install the update and during the process it put my phone in recovery mode with the itunes logo, an up arrow and the usb cord.
    Now no matter what I do the phone wont go out of recovery mode.  I have tried following the recovery steps by turning off the phone then holding down the wake + home buttons, then releasing the wake button when I see the silver apple while holding the home button but now itunes doesnt show that my phone is connected and its still going back to the recovery screen on the device
    I get no option to recovery my phone in itunes it just goes back to the recovery screen.
    I was running whatever the latest iOS is as of 3-14-14.
    I really ***** that iTunes bricked my phone.  I dont even care about recovery the data (even though I have backed my phone up to icloud previously) but now I cant get my phone working at all it is just stuck on the recovery screen.

    Hi Guys,
    After 5hrs of work last night I finally got my iPhone out of the recovery mode/DFU loop. I cannot find the discussion which helped me, but in essence:
    Connect your iPhone to iTunes - in my case iTunes did not recognise a device was connected
    Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Lock button for around 15secs, until phone reboots
    Release the Sleep/Lock button, but keep the Home button pressed for a few more seconds until Apple logo appears
    Drivers will begin to be installed and iTunes will hopefully recognise your device.
    Once I did this and restored my iPhone from a backup, I realised that my original iOS7 update attempt had been successful, it simply couldn't verify this with Apple due to server traffic volumes, I presume.
    Hope this helps,
    DK

  • Some1 downloaded cydia and my iphone doesnt work anymore, the loading is stuck and itunes cant find my iphone ??

    title says all...
    i didnt want cydia, but the kid who downloaded it said i could download free apps with it.
    now my iphone crashes, help!

    Whether you or someone else installed it, or whether you want or don't want it is irrelevant.  Support for phones with unauthorized modifications can't be given here, and your warranty is void. 
    The only thing we can suggest is that your Restore your phone in iTunes as a new iPhone, without using a  backup.  This may not work and you may get error codes such as 1015, in which case no further assistance can be given.

  • TS1363 Itunes cant find my Iphone

    My Iphone doesnt appear in my Itunes

    I think you mean your iPhone is not appearing in iTunes when you connect the iPhone to iTunes using a USB cable.
    Here's a troubleshooting aid:

    Your iPhone already contains an MP3 player.  It works similar to an iPod.  You get MP3 songs onto your iPhone generally by synching with iTunes.

    Clean iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush. Try a different USB cable. Try a different USB port on your computer, try a dedicated USB port on the back of computer.
    Maybe a bit easier than DFU Mode is Recovery Mode. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone, hold both Home and Power buttons until iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the Firmware.
