I tried to update my phone and it shut off and said I need to plug it into a computer for itunes and I dont have a computer to connect it to. My phone wont turn on either and I can't use it until I connect to a computer.

Phone says i need to connect to itunes but dont have a computer???

Two options. Create a guest user on the computer and there will not be any content on the "guest" iTunes. Or if unable to do that set up the iPhone as New. Do not subsequently synch the phone.
Third option is to take the phone to the Genius Bar at an Apple store.

  • My iphone4's battery went dead and when I put it on charge it asked for itunes.  I dont have my macbook at the moment and I am worried I may loose content.  Any suggestions how I can get into my phone?

    Copy the iTunes folder from the disk to the Mac, and the iPhone backup to the right place on the Mac (Google for "iphone backup location"). Then when you restore you can reload the last backup.

  • I did an upgrade on my iphone5 and now it's telling me to plug into a computer for iTunes, I don't have one so how do I get the USB plug in and iTunes symbol off the screen?

    I Just did an upgrade on my iphone 5. It's stuck with a USB plug in and the iTunes symbol on the screen. I don't have a computer to plug it into what should I do?

    You find a computer with iTunes on it, plug your phone in and restore it. it's in recovery mode. you don't have a choice.

    Hello, I have been experiencing similar problems and followed the suggestion and yes, the raw icon comes up as illustrated but there is nothing there to indicate any further action can be taken.  So I am presuming that means it is installed and no further action required?
    Here's my problem:  I have had no problems  getting my pics into my organiser in Elements 12 from either my Nikon D7100 or my Fujifilm X100S - until last week.  Suddenly when they are imported all I see is the timer icons but they don't open to let me view them.  If I click on one it will open and I can then edit it but it will not save an image onto the grid for me to view so it's really frustrating not being able to view all my photos in order to decide what to edit and compare them.
    Here's what action I've taken so far - restarted the computer (endlessly), checked the updates and installed them, checked I have the latest raw plug in (I do) and gone into edit/update thumbnail (doesn't do a thing) - and torn out a fair amount of my hair.  So anyone out there experienced this and can give me some advice? Please?

  • HT1689 Going to Italy and London.  What converters do I need to plug into to recharge?

    Going to be in Italy and London.  What converters do I need to plug  iphone into to re-charge?  I know there are different ones for different countries.

    The iPhone charger is 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, which I believe will work in both countries.  All you would need is a converted for the prongs to fit the local outlet.

    i was texting and locked my phone and now it wont turn back on and i tried charching it and everything.. any other ideas?

    Try reseting. You may lose everything on phone though
    To reset
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    'Home Button' is the Black depression in the Iphone that you can press
    'Sleep/Wake Button' is the black raised area at the top of the Iphone

  • Iphone 3gs- updated to the ios 5.0.1... since then i plugged it into itunes, an now my phone restarts itself every 3-4 minutes! Restored 4 times and still not working help please!!!!!

    iphone 3gs- updated to the ios 5.0.1... since then i plugged it into itunes, an now my phone restarts itself every 3-4 minutes!!! it so annoying! its useless, i cant do anything with it. restored it 4 times and its still doing it!!! please help!!!
    i contacted o2 and they said id have to pay to get it fixed after sending it away for ten days if their was a fault, when im still under warranty!! contacted apple who will get back to me!

    I am assuming you updated to version 5.1.1, not 5.0.1 since no legitimate version of 5.0.1 is available.
    Where is this iPhone from and what means did you use to unlock it?

    Hello StephanieeLovezYou,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.  I would be concerned too if my iPhone was only turning on when connected to power.  I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • Yesterday my iPod touch's home button would not work and to day it is completely turned off and wont turn back on and it is fully charged and when i connect it to itoons it dosent reckinise it

    yesterday my iPod touch's home button would not work and to day it is completely turned off and wont turn back on and it is fully charged and when i connect it to itoons it dosent reckinise it

    Given the information supplied, it sounds very similar to what happened to my wife's 4.  Locked up...came back on with a blank (bluish) screen...could here emails and text coming through.  It would get very hot as well.  Our local apple store tried two times to rescue it, ultimately rendering it complete inoperable.  I'm sorry to say in our case we had to buy a refurb and trade in the phone for $150, which actually wasn't a bad deal.
    There could be other information I'm missing, but I would start with seeing if apple can restore your phone.  If they can't, then I'm pretty sure it's dead.

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:

    Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)

    Hello candymerna,
    At this point I would recommeng resetting the device if if will not turn on.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    From: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If it does turn on, but will not charge then take a look at this part of the article iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting found http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Power/Battery
    Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
    Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
    Verify that the outlet being used is working.
    Try another USB power adapter if available.
    If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
    Try another USB cable if available.
    Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
    If it is charging, but not recognized in iTunes take a look at one of these articles depending on your Operating System.
