Hi bseder1941,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are only seeing the "Connect to iTunes" screen on your iPad Air, see this article for steps that can help:

  • 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
    Please help!!!!

  • Re started iphone after powering down, now is stuck in connect to itunes mode and wont do anything else. also has no service

    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 3 stuck in "Connect to iTunes" screen after attempting to update to iOS6.0

    Tried to update to iOS 6.0, and the iPad 3 is stuck on the "Connect to iTunes" screen.  After plugging it back in and connecting it, iTunes recognizes it, and sees it in Recovery mode. Nothing has worked so far.  I've tried:
    1. connecting to another MacMini and trying to restore (same (-1) error)
    2. Deleted the iPad software update from the library and tried to download and restore again. (same (-1) error)
    3. one hour on the phone with applecare tech support. multiple things tried: holding the sleep/wake and home buttons ect...  (same (-1) error)
    Has anyone else seen this? I noticed someone else asked the same question, and someone offered a blank link.
    I'll try anything.
    Thanks guys

    Yes, thank you though.
    I've done that roughly 30 times over the last 8 hours.  That was one of the methods I tried with AppleCare Tech support.
    The biggest issue I'm seeing is that the device can't BE turned off.  Holding the slep wake button does nothing.  The "Connect to iTunes" screen (usb to iTunes logo) seems to be stuck on the screen, unless it's going through the restore process.
    When I go through the restore steps via iTunes, it gets all the way to the "Installing Firmware" portion, (roughly about 75% done according to the ipad screen, and thats when the error message pops up again. 
    I even just tried doing the whole thing from a PC and got the same message.
    ...I touched a PC...
    ...Must sterilize hands...
    thanks for the reply though.
    Hopefully, I can figure something out, or I might have to make a two hour drive to an apple store to get a replacement.

  • After upgrade to IOS 8.3  iPad Air no longer connects to iTunes

    Today I upgraded my Macbook Air to Yosemite 10.3 and my iPad Air to IOS 8.3
    After upgrading the iPad I was asked to connect it via cable to iTunes in order to allow for wireless sync.
    When plugging the cable in, the iPad starts sending endless alert beeps and the top line of the screen is shaking. On iTunes the error message "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected." appears with every alert beep from the iPAD. No matter how often the OK button is pressed, the message appears rightaway again.
    I made a full backup of the iPad Air before upgrading to IOS 8.3 but I am very reluctant to reset the iPad as the same error might come up when connecting the iPad after reset to iTunes and then I would not be able to restore it at all.
    Does anyone had a similar experience and/or is there any known workaround?
    Many Thanks for any suggestion.
    G.W

    Thanks for your further consideration, much apreciated. I tried a different cable, different port and did reboot and soft reset. I also did reset of settings on iPad, just in case.
    As  I can with no problems use the same USB cable and USB port with my iPhone to connect to iTunes, the issue must be somewhat with the iPad Air and iTunes on my Macbook Air. I also can connect the iPad with the same USB Cable to iTunes on a different Macbook with no issues.
    I think, best is to do a full backup on a different machine and then setting back the iPad to initial state, followed by a restore.
    This I can (hopefully successfully) do with iTunes on a different Macbook.
    Many thanks for you kind support.

  • 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.
    Message was edited by: DP154

    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
