HT4623 How do fix "iphone is disabled connect to itunes?"

After being off for some time my iphone 3GS has this message.  "Iphone is disabled; connect to itunes."  Itunes requires that the password be entered but I can't get past the initial error message.

You need to put the iPhone into Recovery Mode. Here are the easy steps. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click Restore button of iTunes.

  • HT1430 Iphone is disabled  connect to itunes, how to unlock my passcode?

    I can't open my iPhone with my new passcode. It says: iPhone is disabled connect to itunes.

    In the start of your question you said that the iPhone screen was locked with the text ‘‘iPhone is disabled connect to itunes’’. You had no way possible to even enter a code even if did have a correct code.
    You were in effect locked out.
    BUT after AndreweBens suggestion your screen did change to... SIM Locked. Insert a valid SIM with no PIN lock to activate iPhone. with a large button saying Unlock.
    After pressing Unlock i get a screen that says...
    Enter PIN 3 attempts remaining.
    So.... IF you now can remember your pin, write it in here now.
    IF you can not wremember the old code, then write anything in till it locks again.
    once locked again, you should be able to enter your PUK code and get in. but whats your PUK code and where did you keep it? this you can get from your telephone company i think.
    I hope this helps
    its a bit tricky to remember correctly what the screens say in this situation but i think i am right in saying it goas like this.
    once in you can then restore from your back up. urrrgh i think.

  • Iphone 4s disabled, connect to itunes not working

    My mother in law gave my son her iphone 4s, however she left the password on it. My son tried entering random number (instead of asking what the code was), and now the iphone is locked with message "iphone is disabled connect to itunes". I've tried resetting and restarting the phone with no luck. It was never connected to itunes before, she didn't use icloud, and she never had it set to find her iphone so those options are out. I've tried putting it in recovery mode whole connected to itunes, downloaded the updates, and all looks great, until i get a message that it can not finish as iphone is passlocked. I'm stuck in a never-ending loop. Can I fix it from home or must I drive all the way to the apple store? Thanks

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:

    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
