    Hi lepyykko,
    If I understand your question, you are trying to update your iPhone, but you are seeing an error message that iTunes for Windows is not installed, is that right?  The first step is to get iTunes successfully installed on your computer.  Then backup the iPhone before updating the iOS software.
    Are you seeing any error messages when you try to install iTunes for Windows?

  • My Iphone 4S is locked up and showing the Itunes symbol and the cable. Nothing I do make any difference.

    The phone is backed up on ICloud. I connected it to my computer to download some photos and Itunes indicated that and update was available for the phone 7.0.2. So I let it download the update. I later received a message that the update was unsuccessful. The creen on the iphone is showing the itune symbol and a cable. But itunes will not recognise the phone.
    Turning the phone on and off comes up with the same screen. I have tried pressing the ON Off Button and the Home button at the same time for 10 seconds but get the same result.
    what can I do to get the ipnone working again.

    Dear Bruce,
    Due the unsuccessful updation your iPhone has stuck in recovery mode. you need to download the iOS 7.0.2 iPSW from the following link http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS7/091-9872.20130924.2wc82/iPhone4,1_7.0.2_11A501_Re store.ipsw
    and have to restore manually. you can do this by shift + mouse click the restore button in iTunes this will give you an opendialogue box to select the iPSW from which you want to update your iPhone. please make sure you have all the backup stored since this will be a restore not an update so you data will be lost and you will have to restore your data from backup.
    if this help please mark is as answered.

  • IPhone 4s wont start-it's showing the iTunes symbol and the charging cable symbol

    My husbands iPhone 4s wont start-it's showing the iTunes symbol along w/ the charging cable sumbol. I tried to press on the two buttons at the same time and only the sumbols reappear. I'm afraid to plug it to the laptop since my information-my back up is on that laptop. What do u reconmend?

    Your iPhone is in recovery mode and because a reset did not resolve the issue you are left with plugging the iPhone into a computer with iTunes and restoring it to factory settings.

  • My iPod is stuck on a screen were it shows the itunes symbol and it show i need a plug in device. Ive tryed everything I can do can anyone help me?

    I need help with my iPod, its stuck on a screen with the iTunes symbol and the charger below it can anyone help me?

    This happens when the operating system on the phone becomes corrupted.  This could be because of a failed update to the OS or even a hardware failure due to being dropped or submerged in water.  If you follow the instructions indicated, hopefully iTunes will be able to restore the OS and afterward you can restore the settings from a backup (assuming you have one).
    If this does not solve the problem you will need to take the phone to an authorized repair center.

  • HT4623 THE SCREEN ON MY IPOD TOUCH SHOWS THE iTUNES SYMBOL AND THE CONNECTION CORD. IT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING IT IS FROZEN LIKE THAT. WHAT TO DO?

    The screen on my ipod touch is frozen with the iTunes symbol and the connection cord. I don't know how to get past this. Has been like this for over a week. Need help PLEASE.

    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • I was downloading the latest update for my ipad and now my ipad has the itunes icon and chord on the front but won't turn on or be found in my itunes or computer?

    I was attempting to download the latest update to my ipad which was to take 2 hours so i left it alone, when I came back my ipad would not turn on, now it has the itunes icon and a plug on the front, what does this mean?  And now it can't be recognized on my computer at all?
    I did a restore but nothing has happened.  How do I get it to come back on?

    You'll have to restore your iPad.  With your iPad still connected to your computer, press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time and your iPad will restore.

    Go to the Windows Control Panel and select Boot Camp applet. In that applet there is a Boot Drive option. Select Mac OS X.
    Or restart the system and hold down the Option key for a few second. A Boot Menu screen will come up. Select Macintosh HD.
    Once in OS X go to the Sys Prefences, Startup Disk and select Macintosh HD Mt Lion 10.8.2 and click Restart then Restart again. the system will now restart in Mac OS X.
    To boot back to Windows do the same, Startup Disk, and select Windows then Restart and Restart again.

  • When ever i turn on my ipod i get the itunes symbol and the cord

    HELP! Yesterday my itouch 2nd generation 16Gb turned off and so i charged it thinking it would turn on like usual but when i turned it on, the apple showed up and then it would show the itunes symbol and the cord that you use to connect your ipod to the computer. So thinking that it would unlock my itouch, i plugged it into the computer but then a box appeared that said.... "itunes could not connect to your ipod "ipod touch" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the ipod before it can be used with itunes." But the problem with that is that i can't get onto my ipod because of the symbol saying htat i need to plug it into the computer and connect with itunes. Is there anything i can do to get it to unfreeze so i can enter my passcode??
    p.s... I tried turning it off and turning it back on and i also tried pressing the top button and the center button trying to unfreeze my ipod touch.

    this might work..I had the same problem and it worked for me...
    You need to put your touch into recovery mode and then restore it. Here's how:
    1. Disconnect it from your computer
    2. Hold down the Sleep/Wake switch until you see the red slider. Turn it off.
    3. Start iTunes
    4. Hold down the Home button and keep holding it down while you plug the iPod back into your computer.
    5. Keep holding down the Home button until iTunes responds with "and iPod has been detected in Recovery Mode". Release the Home button and follow the onscreen instructions to restore.

  • My i pod shows the itunes symbol on the screen and will not let me do anything, any ideas?

    I did the iso 6 upgrade and now my ipod shows the itunes symbol and will not do anything else, any one having that problem or know what i can do/

    For that you will need to follow this.
    Passcode Locked or Disabled
    If your device is locked with a passcode or disabled you will have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with. This is so that you can restore your apps, data and settings. You can restore it with any other computer, but you will lose all of your info from on the Device.
    Instructions can be found here.
