Ios4.3.3 failed on iphone, now phone says connect to itunes

I was updating my iphone to the latest update tonight, the update failed. now the screen shows a usb cable pointing to itunes. when i connect to itunes, my phone does not show up. Ive tried to press power and home at the same time, also tried to hold home while connecting usb cable. nothing seems to help. any ideas?

I would suggest powering off the phone, then following these steps to enter iPhone DFU mode. If this doesn't let iTunes see it and restore properly then you should probably work with one of the Apple Stores or AppleCare over the phone.
How to enter iPhone DFU mode
Connect the iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes
Turn the iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone)
Hold down the sleep/power button and home button together for exactly 10 seconds, then release the power button
Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected.

If the phone is disabled, you have no choice but to restore it. You will lose the data that was not backed up.
the passcode did its job exactly as it was supposed to do.

If you have an iTunes backup that includes the photos you may be able to extract them from the backup using a 3rd party utility such as http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/ibackupextractor/

When I got my ipod I made an account with iTunes right from my ipod.Yesterday, I made a password lock to get into my ipod and I couldn't get into it even though I did the correct one. Now it says"connect to iTunes" BUT I can't because I never registered on the computer. I've tried holding the home and sleep/wake button for 10 sec and then only the home for 5sec and that might have reset it, but it didn't help. If any of you guys know what to do so I can unlock it I would appreciate it VERY much.

If you haven't done so install iTunes on your computer. http://www.apple.com/itunes/
Follow the instructions here: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

How can i unlock my iphone because it says connect to itunes

how can i unlock my iphone because it says connect to itunes

It is in Recovery Mode and needs to be restored. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.

My iPhone 4s keeps saying "connect to iTunes"

okay, this is long so bare with me. So I earased everything off my phone and set it as a "new phone" so I could downald iOS7. When iOS7 finished dowloading, my phone said "connect to iTunes" so I connected it to iTunes. It was almost finished adding everything back onto my phone when it said it couldn't be finished. I decided to sync it again, and it said all my music and apps were being synced back onto the phone. When I check iTunes to see if it was still syncing it said it had finished so I checked my phone and it said "connected to iTunes" so I disconnected it, when I did that, my phone said "connect to iTunes" so I connected it again and it synced again, and I kept on doing this until I tried connecting it in recovery mode, and restoring my phone, nothing has worked. Someone please help me.

Instead of doing full reset try going into General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings - it worked magic for me after trying all other tricks mentioned on the web. You won't loose any data BTW.
