IPhone in restore mode, can't enter passcode, can't connect to iTunes Help

My iPhone 3G went into recovery mode by itself, now I can only get the "connect to iTunes" screen.  However, when I try to connect to iTunes, I am prompted to enter my passcode on the iPhone, which I cannot do.  I have backups on my computer and know my passcode, but the iPhone logo will not appear in the iTunes side menu, so I have no way of unlocking and restoring my phone.  Please help.

You must restore the iPhone with iTunes. This should not prevent you from connecting your iPhone to iTunes on the computer it has been synced with. If so, place the iPhone into recovery mode.

If you restore with iTunes on the new computer and you haven't transferred your iTunes library from the old computer to the new computer, all iTunes content on your iPhone will be lost.

I already tried Apple support but I can't exactly call them when my phone is froze and wont work, now can I? It's stuck on the unlock screen with the slider bar all the way to the right.

  • Ever since I installed the new i0S 6.0 update on my iphone 4s it says "can not connect to itunes store" when I click on the "app store" on passbook. How do I fix this?

    How do I fix this on my phone so I can access the app store and the new passbook app?

    Did you try reinstalling the app and contacting the developer (there should be a contact link on the app's description page in the store) ? If you don't get a reply from the developer then you could try
    'report a problem' link from the purchase history on your computer's iTunes instead of on your iPad : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • Iphone 4 will not turn on, respond to buttons, or connect to Itunes - HELP

    I let my Iphone 4 charge overnight and it was working this morning with a full battery. I picked it up a few hours ago and clicked the home button, and it did not respond. It is completely off and will not charge or display anything on the screen. A hard reset (home/power buttons) did not work, and it cannot be restored because Itunes will not recognize it. The charger works because it works with my ipod, so it has to be my iphone.
    - It is a factory refurb
    - None of the LCIs are triggered
    WHAT IS GOING ON? Please help!

    I was stupid enough to sign up with Telstra for an iphone4 on Boxing day. The camera shutter would not open so I took the phone back and argued for an hour before they replaced the phone. Almost 24 hours to the minute the replacement phone turned off and I cannot turn it back on. I am furious with both Telstra and the crap product Apple are allowed to sell. Will be going to consumer affairs as soon as the holidays are over.

  • My new iPhone 4S can't connect to iTunes, App Store or iBooks via Wi-Fi. Works with 3G network. How to fix this?

    My new iPhone 4S (week old) can't connect to iTunes, App Store or iBooks via Wi-Fi (and some other apps e.g. Hollister – but most of the other apps like Safari or ebay work fine). There is no problem with those apps loading via 3G network. When I turn off the wi-fi, it runs over 3G and i can access App store without any problem. When i turn off the 3G network and turn the Wi-Fi on, those apps like App Store won't work, other apps work fine. When i turn on both Wi-Fi and 3G, the App store (and so on) is also not working, other apps are.
    I also found out that when the Wi-fi is on and I sign out my apple ID, the App store starts working! But when I log in again, it will imediatelly stop working. I've tried logging in with others apple IDs, still with the same result. There is no problem with my apple ID account, because it works on my iPad, even via Wi-Fi.
    When i first set up my iPhone, there were no complications using App store ia Wi-fi with exactly the same account. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but this problem started when i logged in with my UK account and then wanted to log back in with my Czech account.
    I tried turning it off, hard reset and deleting my iPhone several time (even without back up). Nothing worked since then.
    Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
    I would really appreciate ANY help. This porblem is driving me crazy!

    I am also having the same issue. Please help!

  • My iphone 4S is stuck at the enter passcode section. i couldn't shut it down or anything. i cant even reboot or reset it. how can fix this problem???

    my iPhone 4S is stuck at the enter passcode section. i couldn't shut it off or anything. i cant even reset or reboot the iPhone. what should i do???

    If after trying Namyi steps. If there is still problem. If you want to Restore iPhone Firmware. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Then hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Then click Restore button of iTunes.

  • I forgot my passcode for the ipad and i can't connect to iTunes because it keeps giving me error message that i have to unlcok the ipad first... any advice on how to restore the ipad or unlock it?

    i forgot my passcode for the ipad and i can't connect to iTunes because it keeps giving me error message that i have to unlcok the ipad first... any advice on how to restore the ipad or unlock it?

    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    This will tell you how to restore

    You will probably need to use recovery mode

  • Can I recover photos on iPhone 4S not backed up on iCloud or computer when connect to iTunes error shows up on screen. Was trying to update now it must go to restore.HELP!

    Can I recover photos on iPhone 4S not backed up on iCloud or computer when connect to iTunes error shows up on screen? My son was trying to update now it must go to restore. HELP!

    If there is no backup of the device to iCloud or iTunes and the device has gone into recovery mode when trying to update, then the data is gone. If the device was connected to iTunes to do the update originally, it is possible the default backup was done, unless your son disabled it. To check to see if there is a backup, go in iTunes, click on Edit, Preferences, Devices and see if there is a backup listed for the date/time before the update was started. If he was doing the update OTA on the phone, then there is no backup. No backup, no photos.
