HT1414 My iphone asked if I wanted to update and I hit yes. It said to plug into ITunes so I did. My only option is to "restore". It didn't ask if I want to backup first. I don't have service on phone. How can I go back to "not" restoring?

If your device is disabled...
Connect to your computer in recovery mode per the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
You may need to do this more than once.

I just updated my phone to iOS 5.1 and the assisssitve touch that comes with the new update hasn't shown up on my phone. What do I do ?

I do not remember this being a feature of 5.1, I think it's been around for several generations.
Have you turned on Assistive Touch? Settings > General > Accessibility > Assitive Touch.

the password on my ipod was disabled and says plug into itunes. when i plug it into itunes it says the ipod cant connect because it is password locked.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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

My 5C has just done the most recent update, yet I can't turn it on without it being plugged into iTunes through a laptop. However, I don't have iTunes on my laptop because it's my school one. Ideas please?

If you are seeing the USB cord and iTunes icons on your screen something has gone wrong with the update. You will have to restore your iPhone. The only way to do this is to connect the phone to your computer that is running iTunes.

TS1363 I'm trying to update to newest software, but during proccess, an error accured, now the iphone 4s wont do anything, it only shows plug into itunes. when i do, the device is not recognized by windows or itunes. any ideas?

im trying to update to newest ios version. but during the proccess, an unknown error accured, now the device wont do anything, just shows the plug into itunes screen. the device does not show in windows or itunes. the iphone wont do anything. i tried restarting, it shuts off and back on, but only shows plug into itunes thing. any ideas?

From my experience, the only way you're gonna get a PC afflicted with this disease to work with a 5th gen nano is to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes. Those affected have been exhausted by this ongoing issue. To update or not to update? And I always say never update unless you have to, and turn off all that auto update mess!
I have two core2duo lappies running 32b vista. My workflow dictates 32b fyi. One is acer aspire running itunes v 11.1 (.0.126), 5th gen nano was originally formatted and works just fine on this machine to this day. My other is the bigger badder lenovo thinkpad and the 5th gen will NOT mount using any version of itunes past 11.0 (.1.12) Windows mounts it just fine. itunes is not having it. no shirt no shoes no service.
I have both a 4th and 5th gen nano. The 4th gen works great on both machines, I even successfully tested it with the latest version (11.1.5) before subsequent deletion on the thinkpad! Weird huh? I think my next experiment might be to restore my 5th gen w/ a Mac and theeeeen plug it into PC itunez.
I'm at a loss on the thinkpad. Scanned for intruders. Cut the Lenovo bloat. Executed system and reg maintenance. Took down msconfig to a safe mode + itunes level to attempt to resolve possible sw conflicts but to no avail. NO NO NO. Every single dang port, every time on the thinkpad. Has me feeling like others might get the same treatment by the next itunes update. :|
So in summary for me:
5th gen nano and thinkpad are a NoGo on 11.1^ last working version for me = 11.0.1
5th gen nano is working on an acer aspire 11.1.0 but no way in the world am I updating
4th gen nano is kicking 5th gen nano's @zz so what would make me want to buy a new ipod?

I tried to download ios 7.0.3. my phone has a picture of a cord and itunes telling me to plug into itunes. when i did it wouldnt let me do anything. i tried to reset it and it wouldnt. what do i do

I tried to download IOS 7.0.3 to my iphone 4 and a screen popped up that shows a cord with an arrow to itunes. i connected it to itunes and a little screen popped up with my phone on it. The only option on their for me to click was cancel or reset. I decided to reset it and when it said it was finished a screen popped up on my computer that said that something was preventing the download from happening. I did this 3 times. Nothing has worked.I unplugged it and held the lock and home button together and an apple came up, so i did it again and it told me to plug into itunes again. Its been like this since yesterday so please help me.

it says " itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. you must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes" so i restore it and after it gets finished it says " the iphone :iphone" could not be restored. the device cannot be found" but ive used this itunes since i got this phone.

Iphone 4 unresponsive and flashes apple logo but itunes wont recognise it . when plugged into the mains it turns onto recovery mode and asks to be plugged into itunes, when i unplug it from the mains it turns straight off again

please help! my iphone randomly went unresponsive, when plugged into itunes it flashes apple logo and itunes doesnt recognise it and when plugged into the mains its in recovery mode, asks to be connected to itunes, but immediately turns off when unplugged from mains

You could try to do a hard reset, sometimes resetting the phone helps. Hold down the sleep/wake button on the top and the home button until you see the apple logo, this make take a minute or two but this might help.

My fourth generation ipod touch is not turning on properly. It is plugged into the computer but when i unplug it it just shows that it needs to be plugged in. Please help!

I recently downloaded something for my ipod. Now it will not turn on properly. Can someone please tell me how to turn it back on please.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Phone is asking me to plug into iTunes when I power up

Here is the problem....I unfortunately did not back up all my contacts and they are not saved on my sim card. When i was using my phone it turned off on me and I tried to power back on and instead of the phone turning back on like usual it put a symbol on the screen showing me I needed to plug my phone into iTunes so I did and it told that it had to do a restore and it will erase all my data, but before I went ahead with it I some how got it to turn on and work for a while but stupid me didn't back up my info. Now after using for about 4 hours it happened again so at this point I can not get it to work I have to do a restore. So I go ahead with it and it gets to the point where it says waiting for Iphone and never does anything else after that I left it on for 10 hours to see if it worked and did anything, NOTHING I can not figure out what to do? So at this point its trying to do something but then gets to the point where it needs the Iphone to talk back to the computer and never does anything......has anyone else had this problem and what do I do? I haven't had a phone for 3 days now HELPPP PLEASEEEEE

I have the exact same problem.
<edited by moderator>
I have made a thread for my problem here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1340941&tstart=0 (@mods sorry, feel free to lock it)
1.1.1 version, tried mac or win computer, different USB cables but no success. Latest (7.5 I think) itunes.

Iphone 4 won't turn on keeps saying plug into itunes when it's on itunes

Phone randomly shut off and won't turn back on. I keep plugging it into itunes to restore it and it tells me an unknown error occurred

I could see this happening if your battery is not charged enough for your iPhone to turn on. I would suggest letting your phone charge for several hours without usage. If the problem still persists, you should try restarting your phone or hard powering down (holding down power button and home button for several seconds simultaneously). If your phone still won't turn on properly after this, the next step would be to reset your settings or restore to default factory mode, keep in mind this will wipe ALL of your data, and you may need to reactivate your phone with your service provider. The final step, should all else fail, would be to bring your device into an Apple store to have it checked and repaired for you. My best guess would be a faulty battery, or possibly a virus installed on your phone. I hope you can get this issue solved on your own quickly, however, should it come to it, Apples repair section has a great reputation.
Best of luck!
