Ipad 2 stuck in connect to itunes mode

My ipad 2 was updating to 5.1.1, is stuck in connect to itunes mode and cant be restarted nor switched off and itunes is not able to recognize my device.. it has been like this for the past hour!!! i even updated to the latest itunes to try to make my ipad 2 work... Can anyone help please??

Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
Thirdly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs

Cannot install IPhone 4 USB Driver, Phone stuck in "Connect to iTunes" mode

Hi.
I have the new Iphone 4 - for 2 days, and i can't install the Iphone 4 USB drivers. I tested the cable, the OS.. everything and now after reset i can't use my phone since its stuck in connect to Itunes mode.
Every time i try to connect the USB, Windows recognize it as "unknown device" with (Code 43). If i try manually to select the Driver from common/apple/drivers the error is (Code 10).
Tested the 2G and seems its connected without any problem and windows recognized the phone, but its not recognizing my Iphone 4 (tested on 2- Windows 7 OS), found some topic that Reset can help such issues, and now im stuck with Phone that have only emergency calls.
Using latest iTunes , and ver 4.0.2

re started iphone after powering down, now is stuck in connect to itunes mode and wont do anything else. also has no service, I was able to retrieve all of my photos so the device is functional on that level. have restarted several times & also have restored data from i tunes. it said my phone is damaged.

Jailbreaking
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.
Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

My iPad 2 is stuck in connect to iTunes mode after the update. It won't restart when I hold both buttons down.

My ipad2 is stuck on connect to iTunes screen and won't reset. I had just downloaded the os update. How do I get it back?

The iTunes icon and cable mean that it's gone into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
You will need to connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and you should be able to use it to reset the iPad, and you can then restore/resync your content to it.

IPad stuck on "Connect to iTunes" screen after iOS 8.0.2 Update

Attempted to update to iOS 8.0.2 last night on my 4th Gen iPad. After verifying the download, the iPad instructed me to "Connect to iTunes". Once connected, iTunes stated that my iPad was in need of a restore, which I attempted to do so. Upon "extracting software" iTunes states that it cannot recognize my device and fails the restore. My iPad is still stuck on "Connect to iTunes" screen.
So far I've:
Attempted restore on iTunes 3 times
Attempted hard restart (reboot) by holding home button and top button down for ten seconds.
Don't know what else to do, Please Help!!!!

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

IPod Touch 3rdGen stuck in connect to itunes mode and driver missing

Ok what happened was I wasn't at my own house and and I wanted to put some new music on my iPod touch 3rd Generation. I had to update to the new itunes first. Then once I was finished I remembered I had to update my iPod touch so I clicked on update. Then at some point the ipod screen had the USB connect to itunes and a window comes up saying Windows needs to install driver software for your apple mobile device ( recovery mode ) and my computer cant find it. I have went into the device manager and when i click on properties for the apple mobile device recovery clicked properties and in the device status box it sais
"This device is not configured correctly. (Code 1)
There is no driver selected for the device information set or element.
To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver."
I have looked to re download the drivers and I can't find them. The other problem is my primary computer is not working and if i have to completely reset my ipod i will lose practically everything because I have a feeling my primary laptop is getting reset.
So to conclude it's really saying my apple mobile device recovery mode is there, but there is not a driver installed to it.

- First I would remove and reinstall all the Apple software using the following and then restoring the ipOd.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
- Next see if manually placing the iPOd in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next try DFU mode:
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- Next try another computer/cable to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem.
- If the other computer works and yours does not see:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

IPhone stuck in 'connect to iTunes mode' and can't restore via iTunes!!!

IInstalled new update last night. Then crashed and won't turn on, says connect to iTunes. I have tried to update and restore about 20 times but every time it says halfway through 'the iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (3) I have done a hard reset about 30 times on the phone tried updating via computer, doesn't let me do that. Doesn't let me restore. I've turned computer on/off reinstalled iTunes. Reinstalled the new software of 8.1.3 or whatever. And now I stand to lose everything!!! What more can I do!! I'm in UAE. And there's no official Apple shops!! I'm soo annoyed and spent hours trying to fix it, I have had every single iPhone and am very competent in the use of them.. Right now I'm on my iPhone 6+ which has the update and it was fine.. Please someone help me, if possible!!

yes, just to say a big thank you to Apple ...realizing today while browsing these forums that I haven't been the only one. Happened to me when I updated from 8.1.2 to 8.1.3 OTA... device (iPhone 4s) stuck in recovery mode ... how nice, this has never ever happened to me after years of using iOS, whether I updated OTA or via iTunes, never. I was then delighted to experience the restore process ... wasted hours doing that thanks again ! (I have many apps and a big backup so...). Seriously, this is unacceptable.

IPhone stuck in connect to iTunes mode after restore

I attempted to jailbreak my original iPhone with software 3.1.3 using Spirit. This process failed, and I decided to restore it. After the restore was installed, the phone rebooted, and attempted to access the iTunes Store. However, it cannot reach the store, and I get a window saying error -9813 occurred. My phone is stuck in the emergency call mode now, and any help would be much appreciated! I am running iTunes 8.2.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.4 (outdated, I know, though if I must upgrade iTunes/the OS itself in order to get my phone to work again, I will). Thanks
Edit: also, I can log in to my iTunes account and browse the iTunes store itself without any problem. The issue is that I can't access the iPhone activation screen.

Never mind, the problem seemed to resolve itself. I guess the issue here was on Apple's/AT&T's end and not mine, which I was concerned was the case. The phone successfully connected to the iPhone server, and then proceeded to copy data from a previous backup of mine.

TS1538 my iphone 5s is stuck in "connect to itunes" mode

I literally just bought this phone today, and theres already an issue. After updating my iTunes, as the notification indicated necessary, I also clicked to update my phone as well. Halfway through the update, my iTunes screen read "waiting for iphone" and my iphone just shows a picture of plugging the cord into the iTunes logo. Ive tried holding the home and hold button in different variations for different durations (as told by youtube and support forums...) and nothing seems to work. It's still stuck on the screen with the cord being plugged into the iTunes logo.
Please Help!!!

UPDATE:
So I finally got it to work again! After being on the phone with apple support for 40min, we came to the conclusion that I was going to need to bring it back to the apple store and exchange it for a new one. Let me emphasize this is a BRAND NEW iPhone 5s, literally bought it less than 12 hours ago. Just as I do not know why this problem occured, I also do not know why the problem was fixed. I will outline the steps and issues I faced throughout this process incase anyone else is in the same boat.
-plug my phone into my computer
-must update iTunes in order to control phone from computer
-(after update) popup indictating new iOS software update
-halfway through iOS update, iTunes reads "waiting for iPhone" (where you read which song is playing)
-iPhone stuck on screen with Lighting USB cord --> iTunes logo
-tried putting it in recovery mode; fail
-may or may not have put it in DFU mode; still no progress
-call apple support and go over similar steps with him
-(still on the phone) uninstall iTunes & ALL APPLE software in particular order
a.iTunes->Quicktime->Apple Software update->Apple mobile device support->Bonjour-> Apple application support
-re-install iTunes via apple.com
-plug phone back in and still no progress: iTunes not acknowledging the phone & phone still stuck on same "connect to iTunes" screen
-conclude (with apple support) it to be a system hardware failure and scheduled an appt. for the genius bar tomorrow evening.
-in order to see if the problem is my phone or iTunes, I plugged my old iphone 5 into my comp. and iTunes registered it just as it normally would.
-while my old iPhone 5 was plugged in, I plugged in my new broken iPhone 5s and wouldn't you know, it came up onto the screen. From there I just followed the steps on the screen from restoring it to setting it up all over again
-I did have to do the fingerprint thing again, type in my wifi password, and although my texts were all there, none of my apps were so I need to redownload them.
So I guess if you're having this issue, try plugging in an old ipod or iphone just to see where the problem lays. If it is iTunes, you need to uninstall the prgrams in that (above^) particular order for it to be completely erased and reinstalled. Hope this helps you guys out! Happy holidays
