Whilst synching to my PC it said there was a software update for the iPhone.
It is now stuck with a message saying connect to iTunes. I've tried resetting it in various ways but it still comes back to Connect to iTunes, but it won't.

You may need to try this More than Once...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work. -
I have one iPhone 8GB. After making un upgrade of iTunes and software of iPhone, it's impossible to use it. There's no service! doesn't acept PIN code! it only makes emergency calls and the image in the iPhone is the sign to connect to iTunes. What can i do to solve it?
Where are you and where did you get the phone. This sounds like a classic symptom of someone who bought an iPhone that originated in the U.S. which was then hacked so it would run on a carrier network other than AT&T... Then, when updating the phone, it becare re-locked to AT&T.
If that's what happened, you now own a paperweight. AT&T will NOT unlock them for any reason.
If this isn't the case, please clarify where you are, what carrier you have and where you got the phone so we can begin troubleshooting. -
can some one help with my iphone 4 not switching on , well it show swipe to switch on wich says configure , when swipe it says connect to itunes.
so hae done that but then what??Try holding the sleep/wake and home button til the phone turns off then turn it back on using the sleep/wake button. This resets the phone. If you still have trouble connecting to the netwok then try Settings>General>Reset>Reset network settings. This should clear it up. If not then try to restore your phone using itunes.

2 Apps I have purchased just show on my iphone as loading yet when I sync phon with itunes it shows them as completely loaded every time I turn my phone on it tells me yo connect to itunes or WiFi to download these 2 What have I missed ?
Hello errod2014,
It sounds like you are unable to see your phone in iTunes after the computer turned off unexpectedly during an iOS update. I recommend resetting the phone first, and then attempting to restore with iTunes again.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If you are still unable to see your phone in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

ok so my daughtewr is getting her ipod taken but before i took it she disabled it to where it said connect to itunes i did but it says that is locked and i need to unlock it to get it into itunes and she wont tellme the pass code. i need please
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.

IPhone keeps saying connect to iTunes but won't restore what should I do?
I bought a 5C and it was working fine, but needed an update and had the person I bought the phone off had their iCloud still on. I asked them for the password but as he didn't know me he said he didn't trust me so I looked online and it said to force it to restore I should put it in DFU mode then plug it in to iTunes and it will restore. Now it just displays a iTunes logo (in red) and a lightning cable and arrow. Basically telling me to plug the phone into iTunes but i do and it won't restore, i try to restore it and it says error 1, 3,18 or 2006. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! What should I do?

How do I get my phone set back up and can i retrive everything that seems to be lost
Hello Hilda Louise
Start with the article below to get your iPhone to be recognized in iTunes again. Then you will probably need to restore it to get it back up and running.

iTunes offered to update my old iphone to version 3. something and now the phone doesn't work because it says the SIM is incompatible.
This is the sane SIM that was working fine before the update.
I even uploaded some photos.
How can i get back the old version of iphone software so that it accepts my SIMThe original owner has a new iphone and he gave me this one. All we did was put my SIM card in and it worked; I'm sure he didn't have to hack it to unlock it. He just had this old phone lying around.
How can he authorise unlocking it if he doesn't have the same SIM anymore -he'smoved countries a few times. -

Purchased an eMac from Dawson Springs Independent School Systems.
I tried to update after getting it to run.
After upgrade started screen went blank.
Now it has a blue screen with an apple Mac OS X
Can someone tell me what I did wrong? or how to get my emac usuable?Tough without the Tiger Disk problems, but try fsck...
To use fsck, you must run it from the command line. Unlike using your mouse to open an application to do something, you'll need to type a text command at the prompt (#) to tell fsck what to do. The Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities) and single-user mode are two examples of command-line interfaces in which you can type such commands. To use fsck:
1. Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line. Hold CMD+s keys down at bootup.
Note: If necessary, perform a forced restart as described in the Emergency Troubleshooting Handbook that came with your computer. On desktop computers, you can do this by pressing the reset/interrupt button (if there is one) or holding down the power button for several seconds. On portable computers, simultaneously press the Command-Control-power keys. If your portable computer doesn't restart with this method, you may need to reset the Power Manager.
2. At the command-line prompt, type /sbin/fsck -fy
(SPACE between fsck AND -fy important)
3. Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:
The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OK
If fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
4. When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more. -
IPhone won't exit recovery mode/ keeps saying "connect to iTunes"
I recently updated my iPhone 6 plus to iOS 8.2 everything was going fine, I was able to download the new iOS. I was updating the phone when suddenly iTunes informed me that I had to restore the phone in order for it to be updated. I gladly did. And then after a while, iTunes informed me again that the device could not be found (or something like that, "like the computer can't find the iPhone"). And it went into recovery mode. It just kept showing "connect to iTunes" on the screen. I have tried restaring and reseting the phone but it comes back to the "connect to iTunes" (even though it is connected) and when I try to restore it again, the same thing happens. It's stuck in recovery mode and I can't use the phone. What should I do?
A friend of mine told me that I should not have updated to iOS 8.2 right away because it still has some bugs (?). And that this is the reason why I couldn't get past the recovery mode. Is this true? Any insight would be highly appreciated. Thank you.Ooops sorry about that. It must've been 8.1.2 then? I honestly don't remember.. I wasn't paying attention when I updated since I regularly do it for my iPad, other phones. Anyway, whatever is the latest version of the iOS, it got me stuck in recovery mode.
really sorry about the 8.2 Info
