IPhone 4 stuck in "connect to iTunes" mode after iOs5 update. Help!

Here's what's happened:
I wanted to upgrade to iOs5 on my iPhone 4, so I booted up iTunes.
- I have added a couple new songs to my iTunes and haven't synced them in a while (probably not relevant)
- I downloaded iTunes 10.5 and then iOs5
- iTunes then said something about loss of stuff when restoring (but it doesn't matter that much)
- it took ages to install iOs5 onto my iphone and sync
- once it had done that I disconnected my iphone
- It now is in recovery mode (the "connect to iTunes" screen)
- I try connecting it to my PC again (Windows 7) and iTunes doesn't register anything there at all.
Please help!

  • 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.

  • 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 I am running iTunes 8.2.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.4 (outdated, I know, though if I must upgrade iTunes/the OS itself in order to get my phone to work again, I will).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.

  • Second (brand new) iPhone 4 stuck on "connect to iTunes" while trying to update.

    My iphone 4 was stuck on the "Connect to iTunes" screen, and NOTHING I did fixed it. I took it to the Apple store, got a brand new iPhone 4, and it bricked again while trying to update to iOS7. Same thing... stuck on "Connect to iTunes". I'm connecting to a PC.
    What else can I try??

    The iTunes version is 11.1.2.32, and there are no error messages. I'm trying to restore from backup eventually. But for now I can't even restore to factory settings. I've tried DFU mode, and that does not work, or at least I'm can't even be certain it's going into DFU mode.
    Windows gives and audible noise to signify that a USB device is connected, so I know that somewhere beneath the surface Windows knows it is connected, but iTunes doesn't react at all, and the Windows file explorer, and even the drive manager in adminstrative tools, don't even show a volume connected.

  • IPhone 4 stuck on "connect to iTunes" screen after update uo iOS7

    Hey guys.
    So, second day here, without any progress at all. Yesterday I tried to update my iPhone to iOS 7, but now it's stuck on the iTunes logo screen, showing to connect phone with usb. I tried it all, recovery mode, DFU mode, re-installing iTunes, installing older version of iTunes, restarting pc, unpluging and so on.. nothing, just nothing, iTunes doesn't recognize it. You can hear only the beep sound when u plug in, and then it stays in "connect to iTunes" screen. My iPhone isn't jailbroken, if someone asks. PLEASE help guys, really desperete here, don't know what do really any more. Any help apriciated.

    Hey corubathedog,
    It sounds like your iPhone was kicked into recovery mode, which I understand can be very frustrating. However, the following article will help to resolve this issue:

  • Iphone 5S stuck on "connect to itunes menu" after installing new update!!!! HELP

    So I'll make this simple. I hadn't updated neither my 5S nor my itunes for a while so I decided to do both of them together after doing my monthly backup. I did it whent on well. Then the phone restarted and now it shows the connect to itunes button (the itunes sign and the charger cable below it). My Itunes does not recognise my phone. My phone was on at the time of the restart and its the first time I update my phone like this. Usually I just do it from the settings menu in the phone. Please tell me how to easily fix it! Thanks so much.

    Thank you for all that... But I tried everything! I checked everthying on these lists, I even reinstalled my itunes. And now I have the same problem. It still doesn't show any sign of being there on itunes. But each time I reconnect it to my computer, my computer makes the connecting usb sound. So it sees it but doesn't recongnise/display it.
    Another thing, when I wanted to import pics and vids to my pc, when i'd plug my phone it, it would open a little window asking how I wanted to open it. But just before all this happened the window didn't show up so I had to put the 5 videos I wanted to get to my computer trough youtube.
