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:

IPod Touch still stuck on connect to iTunes screen after the restore. iTunes went blank.

Hi, I'm having problems with my iPod Touch. My iPod went off because the battery was empty. And when I tried connecting it to my laptop to recharge, the "connect to iTunes" screen suddenly appeared. According to iTunes I need to RESTORE it for it to work. And that's exactly what I did. However, after the restore and all, the screen is still stuck on the "connect to iTunes" screen.
By the way, it's a 2nd generation iPod Touch. And it's an MC model.
And to make things worse, my iTunes screen is totally empty. The RESTORE option is gone and I really don't know what to do anymore.
Hope you guys can help me out! I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

I really don't know what happened but my iPod Touch is working now!!! Thank you so much! I'm not really sure if it went to DFU mode or not but all of a sudden I can access iTunes App Store already!!! WOOOOAAAAHHHH! And it asked me to type in a new name for my iPod! So everything's good! Thank you so much! Thank you! You have no idea how happy I am right now!
For my iTunes:
Thank you!
P.S: Grrrrrrrr! My bad! I'm new here and I kind of messed up the Correct Answer and Helpful Answer buttons. Sorry. Dunno how to change them.

I have a Iphone 4 and after the last software update iOS.0.4, my phone is no longer connecting to the wifi at my house.

I have a Iphone 4 and after the last software update iOS.0.4, my phone is no longer connecting to the wifi at my house.
My MacBook Air is connected and my roommates phones are also connected, but my iphone that always was connected to the same network is no longer connecting to the wifi.
The network is shown on the device but I can't join it.
Whats going on? Does someone know how to solve this issue?
Thank you!

Problem persisted after fixes were done so wife called apple today. Their fix is to turn cellular off when in the house and turn it back on when she leaves- the 4 doesn't keep the password so she has to enter the password too... This wasn't a fix ...it's just resolving the connection problem... They also said that they made ios6 have security features so nobody can hack into the wifi without having the password and it has to be entered to use the wifi. My 5 and the iPads stay on with no problems. It's just the 4. So far so good...she's had wifi all day when home. It's inconvenient but it's either completely reboot it with iTunes (which doesn't work for her) or buy a new phone and she won't do that either.
So...Apple is saying that she didn't have to do the updates either and could've stayed with the previous iOS but !!!too late now!!! We've updated because we think our phones will run better but the ios6 just made it a pita for users
I wonder if the hackers of the world are having as many issues as the peeps who are just trying to use their wifi??

IPhone 4 Stuck on 'Connect to iTunes' screen.

I.. was kinda trying to get rid of the iOS 7 update files which were automatically downloaded to my iPhones following this discussion page: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5379403?start=0&tstart=0
Following the instructions posted there, I managed to get rid of about 3GBs of the iOS 7 files out of my iPhone 5.
What I followed was nzzzzz's 'Method B'
Method B: Open Settings->General->Software Update, Click "Install Now". There will be a prompt says "Verifying update...", Wait until this prompt disappear, there will be a spinning wheel on the black background. Immediately press and hold both of the power and home buttons at the same time. DO NOT release the power and home buttons for about 10 seconds. Your device will reboot. It's done. The automatically downloaded firmware will have been deleted. Now read part 1 to prevent automatically downloading in the future.
However, when I tried it again on my iPhone 4, it's now stuck on 'Connect to iTunes' screen.
No DFU modes or recovery modes seemed to be working, so I gave up and decided to restore & upgrade to iOS 7.
Then there was another problem, iTunes 'did' recognize the device as in 'recovery mode', downloaded the 7.0.3 update file, and tried to restore the device... but it got me 'error 9134'.
I followed the instructions on forums and discussion pages, and even called the Apple Care Services for technical support... but nothing worked. Nothing.
All those 'hosts' file edit and iTunes removal(and other following services) + download/install to the latest iTunes did not work on me, and now the device is 'just stuck on Connect to iTunes' screen.
Any suggestions..?
(BTW, English is not my native language, so if there's anything that cannot be understood, tell me)
+ Thanks in advance
Additional info:
iPhone 5: Tried to remove the iOS 7.0.3 files on iOS 6.1.4
iPhone 4: Tried to remove the iOS 7.0.3 files on iOS 6.1.3
Windows 8. latest iTunes (Newly bought computer + latest iTunes installed on 10/26/2013)
Windows 7, iTunes v 11.0.4.4 (The computer that successfully factory-resetted my old iPhone 4S and iPhone 4. The same computer that's not working with the same iPhone 4 now.)
Plus, my iPhone 4 is not backed up... not even in iCloud I think... There are some old pictures I'd like to keep, but almost forgot to get them out since I bought 5 a few weeks ago. I was using the iPhone 4 for the TV cable with the 30-pin connector.

Hi, I solved this problem on my iPad.
First I followed the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4097?viewlocale=en_US and recovered the iPad. iPad turns empty like new.
Then I followed the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414?viewlocale=en_US (Option: Restoring your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) and restored my iPad from a previous backup from iTunes.
When the backup restore was finished, many apps were missing on my iPad. I synchronized it again with iTunes (it took a while although I don't have many apps) and everything was back exactly as before.
I don't know what caused the problem in the first place, being stuck in the iTunes USB screen, but it seems to be solved now. I will anyway try to always remember to close all apps and not leave them running in background. Maybe my iPad got confused?
Regards
Sonja

IPHONE 4 STUCK AT CONNECT TO ITUNE SCREEN

My iPhone 4 is stuck at connect to itune screen...

If you connect the iPhone to your computer and launched iTunes and nothing happened you will need to make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. If so then you will need to troubleshoot iTunes.

Phone stuck on connect to itunes screen after update attempt

Hi, hope someone can help me. I connected my iPhone to my computer to transfer my photos from the phone to the PC. I have automatic syncing turned off.
When I connected, I was prompted to update the iTunes version, which I did. It's now version 9. Then I attempted to update the iPhone version. I got a message saying I had to transfer my purchases first, which I did. Then I tried the update again. The update seemed to take awhile, then I got a message saying it failed. There was a "More Information" button which just prompted me to send info to Apple, which I did. Unfortunately I didn't save the info.
At that point all my iPhone info no longer showed in iTunes, and the only active option is Restore. It does say "Your iPhone software is up to date," which would seem to indicate that the update did work...I tried disconnecting and reconnecting my phone. When I do this, I get the message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
I would rather not Restore the phone unless I have no other options, since I have 600 pics, contacts, etc on the phone...Of course not backed up since this is the first time I've tried to transfer data.
So I tried a few things:
- I disconnected and reconnected the phone several times.
- I restarted the computer several times.
- I went to the Apple site and tried the troubleshooting steps for "stuck on connect to itunes screen" (which is what my phone is currently doing).
- I ran the diagnostic checks in iTunes (output below - I ran this while the phone was plugged in yet it says it's not found).
- I held down the Home and the Sleep/Wake button until I see the Apple icon.
- I went to My Computer > Manage and tried to update drivers, but the phone doesn't show in the device manager.
- I tried a different USB port and there are no other devices connected to the machine.
Nothing worked, my phone is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen and I get the error message every time I plug it in. I haven't tried another computer bc I don't have one and I'm not sure how to create/use another user account on this machine.
I wouldn't mind calling support but my phone doesn't work...Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Your only choice at this point is to restore your iphone. Since it appears from your post that you have never synced to this computer, you of course will not have a backup to restore from. That means your only choice is to restore as a new device & re-sync your itunes content. Unfortunately, all of your contacts, calendars, pics in your camera roll, etc., will be lost. Its not a good idea to use the iphone or any phone for that matter as a storage device, as things like this can & do happen. You should be syncing on a regular basis. The first thing done when you do sync is an iphone backup. You should also transfer pics in your camera roll to a supported application on your computer on a regular basis, much like any digital camera. You can always sync pics back to your phone, but if the only copies are on the phone, you run the risk of losing them.
See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

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.

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 3GS stuck on "connect to itunes" screen

I've just reset my old iPhone 3GS so that I can use it as a PAYG phone for my dad. It cleared everything down ok and set itself up as a new clean iPhone install with the PAYG sim card and worked fine. In iTunes I logged in to an account I set up for him and all was good - it found the phone, recognised it as my old one and gave me the option to set it up as a new one which I did, again all fine.
Then I went to update the iOS to the latest version, but after it tried to to install it there was an error and the iPhone is now stuck on the "connect to itunes" screen. However, neither iTunes nor my PC will recognise the phone for me to restore it or do anything else with it. I've tried the holding down the home button whilst connecting it to USB idea but no luck.
Any tips?

Sorry, I can't remember what the error was, I don't remember there being an error number. It was along the lines that iTunes had been unable to update the OS. I only noticed that the iphone had frozen after clicking OK.
The phone is stuck on the "connect to iTunes" screen. Even trying the restore options above, I don't get a red swipe and trying the alternatives still doesn't help. I've rebooted my computer and you can hear the USB recognising it's got a new item plugged in, but iTunes still won't find it.

IPhone 4S stuck in connect to iTunes screen, iTunes can't detect it

I tried restoring my iPhone and my computer froze during the restoration. the iPhone is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen and isn't recognized by the computer when I plug it in.
What can I do to fix it? I'll definitely be needing my phone in the next few days and need it fixed ASAP!
Can anyone help me please??

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.

My iphone is stuck on connect to itunes screen how can i fix this?

I went to upgrade my Iphone but when it finished it crashed and is now stuck on the "connect to itunes" screen and it only lets me make emergency calls. I have tried everything to fix this and nothing works. After trying for about 2 years it now says my phone company doesnt support it... so i called them and they had no idea about it... I have no idea what to do now?

Take it to Apple.
