HT2188 Phone displaying iTunes music sign & USB cord, tried to complete recovery mode and still showing same thing after

Iphone displaying music sign and USB cord a box pops up iTunes has detected an Iphone in recovery mode You must restroe this Iphone before it can be used w/iTunes...did that 3 different times and still no results...

Might your iPhone have been jailbroken? Sounds like it's "bricked". It will be a paperweight if so.

Rebooting will not make you lose any content. Rebooting is when you hold the home button and the sleep button down at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
You can these suggestions. One might work for you.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

After updating my iTunes to 10.4 I get an error message saying "iTunes was not insatlled correctly. Please reninstall iTunes. Error 7 (widows error 999). I reinstalled and still get same message when trying to run iTunes.

When I installed the update originally, it said it installed correctly. How do I fix this?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

HT4623 I have error 1669 coming up just before the phone is to restore, have tried multiple computers including macs and still the same

help error 1669 tried it all

Hello, paulmonkey.
Error 1669 can be similar to error 1. Try the troubleshooting steps for error one as outlined below.
Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

I tried to do the update on my ipad 2 and now it's telling me I have to connect to itunes which says it's in recovery mode and i need to restore it to facroty settings which will lose all my stuff? Is this so? and if so, why did it do this?

Tried to update, screen said verifying update. then said to plug into itunes. itunes (on home PC) said ipad was in recovery mode and I need to restore to factory settings to move ahead, losing all my stuff. Obviously traumatic. Do I do this? why did this happen?

The best way to backup your iPad is the way that makes the most sense in your situation and the way that works best for you. There is no hard and fast answer. But since you asked .....
I prefer using iTunes because I don't have to worry about having enough space available in iCloud. You are allotted 5GB of space with the free iCloud account, but that is really not that much storage space at all. You can purchase more space, but IMO, its crazy to pay for cloud storage if you have your own computer. On top of that, you have more control when you use your computer. You can backup the content on your computer in order to have backups of backups. You can't do that with iCloud. Another disadvantage to using iCloud is that you always need to be connected to WiFi in order to backup to iCloud. Not everybody always has access to WiFi every minute of every day.
Read this and see if it helps you make your decision. If you have more questions, post again and ask.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

After an 'error' occurs to update iOS 6 , phone is stuck in recovery mode and only option is to restore? ):

I don't think I back uped anything. I assume it was already going to do that like most times..
I downloaded and updated the phone with the iOS6, but then an error occurred saying that the phone can't be updated. It then turned into recovery mode and suggests that the only way to use the phone is if I restore it.. which I really can't do! I still have lots of photos..
Please, I regret not having backing up just in case, but is there any way to somehow 'undo' the recovery mode and bring it back to normal (regardless of which iOS it has)? Please, I really would appreciate a solution, any solution.
Thank you.

What's wrong with you guys.. you must ALWAYS back it up before anything major like this.
If it's not too late, and i do not know if this will work or not.. but download something like TinyUmbrella or any program that will allow you to kick it out of Recovery Mode and back to regular. May or may not work but worth a shot.
