    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore...
    If necessary Place the Device into Recovery mode...

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 I am running iTunes 8.2.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.4 (outdated, I know, though if I must upgrade iTunes/the OS itself in order to get my phone to work again, I will).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

  • 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

  • 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

    I have the same problem. Any solutions to this?

  • IPhone stuck on "Connect to iTunes" screen. Connect to computer, "USB device not recognised". Can't reset. Suggestions?

    Above says it all. Frustrated, no one seems to have an answer. Anyone know of anything that could get me closer to fixing it?
    Happened when iPhone 4 was updated to iOS 5. Problem was Kaspersky was on - I know this because I have had trouble when updating my iPhone in the past when it was on. Unable to get anywhere in terms of restoring because it's stuck on Connect to iTunes screen, computer won't recognise it and reset won't work.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I had this problem before and fixed it. Its happened to me again very recently so its not uncommon. I had to completely uninstall ITunes and most importantly uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support which can all be found in the uninstall programs in the control panel. once you have done that, re install the most up to date iTunes (don't worry about having to find another Apple Mobile Device Support software as the most up to date version of that gets installed with iTunes). Once that is done take out the USB cable make sure the iPhone is off or blank ad iTunes is not open. Then simply plug in the USB and iPhone you don't have to hold any buttons and the phone should light up and you get a message about the apple mobile device support software being installed then itunes opens asking if you want to restore this iPhone. if this doesn't work don't worry take out the phone and try a different USB socket making sure iTunes isnt open for some reason it doesnt like it open.
    Hope that helps im only saying whats helped for me so sorry if it doesnt for you

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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
