Itouch froze on "connect to itunes" screen while updating from 5 to 5.01, what to do???

It happen to me several times, I just simply wait until it is out of battery and connect it to my itunes and it will show up in my computer. if the problem cannot be solved in this way, you can connect it to computer after several days of running out of battery and it may work. I know it is a little bit stupid idea,but it did work on my itouch

Phone stuck on connect to itunes screen after update attempt

Hi, hope someone can help me. I connected my iPhone to my computer to transfer my photos from the phone to the PC. I have automatic syncing turned off.
When I connected, I was prompted to update the iTunes version, which I did. It's now version 9. Then I attempted to update the iPhone version. I got a message saying I had to transfer my purchases first, which I did. Then I tried the update again. The update seemed to take awhile, then I got a message saying it failed. There was a "More Information" button which just prompted me to send info to Apple, which I did. Unfortunately I didn't save the info.
At that point all my iPhone info no longer showed in iTunes, and the only active option is Restore. It does say "Your iPhone software is up to date," which would seem to indicate that the update did work...I tried disconnecting and reconnecting my phone. When I do this, I get the message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
I would rather not Restore the phone unless I have no other options, since I have 600 pics, contacts, etc on the phone...Of course not backed up since this is the first time I've tried to transfer data.
So I tried a few things:
- I disconnected and reconnected the phone several times.
- I restarted the computer several times.
- I went to the Apple site and tried the troubleshooting steps for "stuck on connect to itunes screen" (which is what my phone is currently doing).
- I ran the diagnostic checks in iTunes (output below - I ran this while the phone was plugged in yet it says it's not found).
- I held down the Home and the Sleep/Wake button until I see the Apple icon.
- I went to My Computer > Manage and tried to update drivers, but the phone doesn't show in the device manager.
- I tried a different USB port and there are no other devices connected to the machine.
Nothing worked, my phone is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen and I get the error message every time I plug it in. I haven't tried another computer bc I don't have one and I'm not sure how to create/use another user account on this machine.
I wouldn't mind calling support but my phone doesn't work...Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Your only choice at this point is to restore your iphone. Since it appears from your post that you have never synced to this computer, you of course will not have a backup to restore from. That means your only choice is to restore as a new device & re-sync your itunes content. Unfortunately, all of your contacts, calendars, pics in your camera roll, etc., will be lost. Its not a good idea to use the iphone or any phone for that matter as a storage device, as things like this can & do happen. You should be syncing on a regular basis. The first thing done when you do sync is an iphone backup. You should also transfer pics in your camera roll to a supported application on your computer on a regular basis, much like any digital camera. You can always sync pics back to your phone, but if the only copies are on the phone, you run the risk of losing them.
See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

IPod stuck in "connect to iTunes" screen after updating software

I wanted to update my iPod touch to iOS5 after waiting for a long time. I synced and transferred purchases twice to make sure all my stuff was in my iTunes library, and then updated it. The update went fine but there was an error message saying that it could not restore the iPod. I went to troubleshooting and it said to update to the latest version of iTunes, which I did, involving a restart. When I started up iTunes again, it said it was the most recent version 10.7 and all of my songs, apps, etc. are in the library. The problem is I can't get my iPod to connect to iTunes now. It went into the connect to iTunes screen before I updated the software and it has stayed like that. I tried plugging and unplugging it, switching the USB ports and cables, putting it into recovery mode, but it will not show up on iTunes or on my computer. I also noticed that when I hold down the sleep/wake button for a few seconds, it shuts down immediately instead of having the "slide to power off" screen come up, and then the apple comes back onto the screen and it goes to the "connect to iTunes" screen again. I have tried all of the troubleshooting guides on the website, but it doesn't change the screen. I tried putting it into DFU mode and something came up on the computer saying "installing driver software" and it said DFU mode or something, which usually happens when I plug in my iPod, but after my iPod wouldn't turn on at first, and when it did, the same screen came up again. When I unplug it from the USB cable, it stays on the screen for about a minute before it turns off and the screen goes black. This is the screen it's stuck on
I'm not sure what else to do, all suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much.

You try on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iTunes problem. If it works on the other computer that indicates a computer problem and more work is required to fix that problem.
If iTunes on the other computer yuo can do the following to make that computer the syncing computer until you can fix the other computer. For how see:

I tried it all, recovery mode, DFU mode, re-installing iTunes, installing older version of iTunes, restarting pc, unpluging and so on.. nothing, just nothing, iTunes doesn't recognize it. You can hear only the beep sound when u plug in, and then it stays in "connect to iTunes" screen. My iPhone isn't jailbroken, if someone asks. PLEASE help guys, really desperete here, don't know what do really any more. Any help apriciated.

Hey corubathedog,
It sounds like your iPhone was kicked into recovery mode, which I understand can be very frustrating. However, the following article will help to resolve this issue:

3rd gen - stuck on connect to itunes screen after update

I have recently tried to update my ipod touch 3rd gen to IOS 3.4.5.
10 minutes later it said that the update had failed. After that had happened the ipod was still on charge showing the connect to itunes sign, I looked at itunes and it wasn't recognised there or on 'My Computer'. I uplugged it and the Ipod continued to show the connect to itunes screen for 15-20 seconds after that the screen went blank. I tried to turn it back on again and it showed the apple logo and then straight back to the connect to itunes screen again for 15-20 seconds.
I have tried the following to restore it:
1. Hold the Sleep/wake button
2. Hold the Sleep/wake button and home button
3. Hold the home button while plugging it into comupter and wait for it to recognise (it didn't)
4. Reinstalling Itunes
None of these work. I really need the ipod to work help

Has your iPod ever been jailbroken firstly?
Is iTunes reading that the iPod has connected?

I have an iPhone 3g 8GB model. Stuck on the 'connect to iTunes' screen after update of 4.2 iOS. Solutions please?

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.

IPhone is locked on Connect To iTunes screen.

Extremly frustrating, I was just simply updating my phone to the new OS, and suddenly comes up with an error message, and me in my all infinite wisdom, ignore it and continued. And boom, iPhone 4 locked curretly on the Connect To iTunes. I don't know if the iPhone is being sarcastic and trolling me, since it's not even reconsied on the computer at all, not even as a connected device, Comes up with the USB sound..but nothing is showing. Yes, I've reset it, held down the power button, held down the home button, connected it on and off, switched USB cables, powered it up, reset iTunes, checked if the Apple Mobile was current, reset that, tried to update that, reset computer once again, tried to reset it again, held down the home button while connected for another 30 minutes..and nothing!! Fuming so hard now. I doubt i'd get a new one, and I booked a callback which will cost me a mint most likely and probably wont even fix it.
Sigh
Any tips guys? Sorry for the rant. It's just really upsetting.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

iphone is locked in itunes connection screen

ITunes is asking for me to enter my passcode when I connect my iPod (3rd Gen) but I cannot enter my passcode in my iPod as it appears to be locked on "connect to iTunes" screen, unless I turn it off. What shall I do?

I lost my iPod but recently found it, I charged it up fully and then connected up to my latop. iTunes is saying that it cannot connect until I type in my passcode but my iPod is not letting me type in my passcode. I've tried turning it on and off again and resetting it and many other things but nothing seems to work. I'm guessing it's just completely broke is there any way it can be fixed?

Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

TS1538 my iPad is stuck on the connect to itunes screen after updating.

I have seen several post about screen locked on the iTunes connect after updating software. I have tried all these methods. My iTunes does not recognize my device and my device will not turn on so I cannot do a reset. I tried the hard reset by pressing both the home button and the on/off switch and then connecting to my computer. My computer dings like a new device was connected but I cannot see my device in iTunes.
Suggestions appreciated.

If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

My iphone 4 is stuck in the 'Connect to itunes' screen after updating to OS7.

I have an iphone 4 which worked perfectly before. I went through the update process to the latest OS and now I can't get it to progress beyound the iphone setup screen. itunes sees it fine and reads it fine but whichever option I pick it goes through the process, gives me all the progress bars etc and goes through the motions of restoring from backup but then it just loops back to the setup screen. Can anyone help please?

Hey MarcoCr,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like your iPhone is currently in recovery mode. To resolve this, you will need to restore the device with iTunes:
