Good Day iPhone saviors: My iPhone 4s screen is stuck, only showing the plug & iTunes symbol
Hi Tim Schneck,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you're only seeing the "Connect to iTunes" screen on your iPhone, the device is in recovery mode and may need to be restored.
For more information, see this page on our support site:
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Best Regards,
Jeremy

I don't know what to do with my ipad2?
I'm guessing you did not buy the iPad from Apple. If you did not buy it from Apple, it may very well have an older software version. Only iOS 5 or later is PC independent. If you have an earlier version, a computer with iTunes loaded is required.
Merry Christmas -

My ios update keeps getting stuck on the Restoring iPhone software stage. I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it again, but still nothing. Now I can't even use my phone as it shows the plug into iTunes screen. Please help!!!! Thanks,
A Restore first downloads a new copy of iOS to your computer. On a slow Internet connection this can take a long time. How fast is your connection? How long would you expect it to take to download 900 MB?
That's assuming nothing is interfering with the download. Some firewalls and antivirus programs will block the download or slow it down. So you should temporarily disable your security software. Security software can also block the update after the iOS download is complete. -
My iPhone is stuck on the plug to iTunes screen and it will not do anything what do I do because my computer has crashed?

Yesterday evening i installed ios 7.2 on my iphone 4 and since then my iphone's screen is stuck on the itunes n a battery recharge sign under it. what should i do?
That's not a battery recharge sign. It's telling you your phone is in recovery mode and you need to plug it into your computer running iTunes.

If you are in a screen to plug into iTunes, then the device is in recovery mode. Your only option is to connect to the computer to restore the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

My iphone 4 screen is stuck with the apple logo on it , Help!
My iphone 4 screen is stuck with the apple logo on it and i have tried holding the home button and power button down for 20 seconds but nothing is happining , meaning the phone isnt loading up has anyone got any idea what the problem could be ?
Plug the phone into your computer via the USB cable and open iTunes.
Once you have connected the phone to your computer and opened iTunes, hold the home and sleep buttons down until it goes blank. You are now in DFU mode. Click the restore button in iTunes.
Note: You will lose all data. You can restore from a backup if you previously saved one. -

While trying to update my Ipad to the new operating systemm my screen is stuck on the "Terms and Conditions" screen. I tried touching the "agree" button and the "send my email" button, but nothing happens. I can't get out of the screen without missing my full update. Please help.
completely switch off your ipad with pressing the top power button really long and then swipe the red swiper at the top. Then turn your ipad back on, skip the icloud login screen and you should be good! That's what i did so should work for you too
