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.

    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:

  • HT201263 iPhone 4S Stuck on 'Connect to iTunes' during 7.1.1 update

    Hi, I was updating the lastest software 7.1.1 OTA, available on iPhone 4S while it was on charging, as battery was below 50%. But during in between update, the phone got stuck on 'connect to iTunes'.
    Unfortunately, I dont have an PC or Mac book where I could download and connect to itune.
    Is there any alternate to get this sorted. Will I loose my contacts? Photos/videos? etc?
    Kind regards    

    Hello SamuelXavier427,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    First, I'd like you to just simply reset your device by following the steps in the article below, in case you accidentally entered recovery mode.
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the issue does persist, then you will need to connect your iPhone to a computer, and using iTunes restore it.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • Stuck on "connect to itunes" screen after trying to update

    Update was interupted because of "unknown error"
    Now my Ipad is stuck on "Connect to Ituns"
    Have tried to reset by holding both buttons for a long time but still only returns to Connect to Itunes sceen.
    Itunes does not recognize the ipad.
    Anyone any ideas exept for turning it in for service

    Makes sure you disable any antivirus or software firewall on your desktop. They can get in the way of the update, causing this problem.
    Have you actually got the update downloaded yet? If not, it might be helpful to download and install separately

  • 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!

  • 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.

    Hi Jen.  My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse.  Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too.  Now to the problem at hand.  I have the same problem.  I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade.  Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade.  But I'm sure other factors are involved.  Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem:  What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it.  Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade.  Hope this works.   Charlie

  • 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

    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?
