Iphone 2g connect to itunes mode and pc doesn't recognise

Hi,
I am not sure how or why but my iphone went blank today, I assumed that the phone had run out of battery, I plugged it in but it did not seem to charge. Next the symbols for connect to itunes came up so I connected it to my laptop but itunes would not recognise it, the symbols stayed on then it reset after a few minutes. I have reset the phone and nothing. The phone is locked to O2 and it has a tesco mobile sim installed. I have had the phone for 3 months and it has worked fine.
Thanks for your help

Hi Phoenix,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I think you missed a sign somewhere along the information highway. This is the Numbers '09 forum, where the general topics concern techniques and issues involving Apple's spreadsheet application Numbers '09, part of the iWork '09 collection.
Your question will likely be served better if asked one of the forums in the iPhone section of Discussions. The link will take you to that section.
Regards,
Barry

    Put the device in DFU mode (google it), then restore.

  • HT4623 I attempted to update my phone without realizing that I needed to sync the phone with my  laptop. I am not home and my laptop is in another state. My phone is stuck in the "connect to iTunes"  mode and I now cannot use the phone. Can this be undone

    I attempted to update my iPhone 4 without realizing that I need to sync it with my laptop. My iPhone 4 is now stuck in the connect to iTunes mode and now I cannot use it.  Is there a way to reverse this so I can use my phone because I do not have my computer with me?

    Maybe it was hacked before and now through the update it's locked back to the original carrier.

    You may need to try this More than Once...  Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
    Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
    Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.

    I cannot connect to iTunes Store and there doesn't come a notification.. How can i fix it??
    It's been going on for a time now and no matter how many times i remove and install again it will not work

    I was having the same problems after downloading 10.4.1 IStore would only download half way then nothing attempted reinstall no goood checked the Diagnostics with IPad connected, indicated no errors. more than a few hours browsing possible solutions. Found one stating 'Remove all Itunes connected software, i.e. Bonjour, ITunes, Safari etc from PC via the Uninstall Safely Feature and ReInstall. Hey Presto it worked now no issues.
    Good Luck. I am using Windows 7.
    That's my problem exactly, but I can't find the: ''Uninstall Safely Feature and ReInstall''. Where is that??
    Thank You

  • 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.

  • 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

    Furter details with this problem, I got the phone to charge by removing the sim and placing in my Gear4 speaker, once charged I put the sim back in started the phone and it seemed fine except that the home button will not work at all! Crazy, as soon as I plug it in the PC the connect to itunes pops up and itunes still wont recognise.
    Any help ideas what could of caused this?

    My phone is stuck on the connect to itunes screen when i started to update it and when i connect it to itunes nothing happens. What do i do to fix it ?

    Hold down the Home and Power button to shut off the iPhone. Keep it disconnected from the computer. Then, hold down the Home for 20 seconds. Connect it to the computer while continuing to hold down the Home button. Wait for iTunes to say your iPhone is in Recovery mode. Then, restore.

  • My Iphone goes into "connect to Itunes" mode, I connect to Itunes and restore, then with 24 hours I get the same message again, any ideas ?

    My phone goes into "connect to Itunes" mode and locks up, I connect to Itunes and do a restore and then within 24 hours I get the same message again and the phone locks up. any ideas ?

    You're welcome.
    A hardware problem doesn't mean complete failure.
    With a computer, a hard drive can have a partial or complete failure.
    If it wasn't a hardware problem, it would be resolved after restoring the iPhone as a new iPhone or not from the backup. If not, every iPhone running 5.1.1 would have the same problem.

    Ok so i'm not very techi....phone connected to itunes to sync so I can transfer photos, request for upgrade i think it's 7.2.  Phone goes into connect to itunes mode and wont shift.  I have no idea if backed up to icloud and really don't want to lose photos

    if you are seeing the image of connect to itunes then all data on your phone is gone.
    you will need to do this to get the phone working again.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    if you backup on a regular basis, then you can use that backup after the phone is done restoring.
