IPhone stuck at "connect to iTunes" and not detected

Hey all,
Last night I tried to update to the new OS. While doing so there was an error with the installation and now my phone is stuck at the "connect to iTunes" logo. When it is plugged in, its not detected by iTunes so I can't restore. I've checked my Device Manager and the phone is indeed detected and installed properly on my computer. I've tried entering DFU mode but that hasn't gotten it detected either. People have been saying just leave it plugged in so I did overnight. Its been 6 hours now and I'm pretty upset. Anyone have any ideas?

Try connecting to a different USB port, a different sync cable, or a different computer.

  • IPhone Stuck on Connect to iTunes and iTunes Unresponsive

    I have the original iPhone and was using it as an iPod with just WiFi and no cellular service. It was running 3.1.3 firmware.
    However, a couple of days ago I tried to restore my phone because it was running slow and I just wanted to wipe it and start over. It came up with a weird error on iTunes which apparently was due to the servers being down for the 2g iPhone. When I plugged it in a day later the error was gone but now my phone is stuck on the Connect to iTunes screen and iTunes just says "iPhone" in the main window.
    Things I've tried -
    Reinstalling iTunes
    A different SIM card
    DUF mode - worked and then went back to the same thing
    Restarting my computer
    I'm running out of options.. Any suggestions?

    I just tried renaming the 2G phone back to what is was originally... still did not work.
    I get throught he activation process... then click "Set up as a new phone" because I have no backup to restore from.  I then de-select the "Sync contacts" and "Sync Applications" buttons.
    I tunes throws up a dialog that says "iTunes could not back up the iPhone "mark's iPhone" because the backup session failed."
    I'm getting the feeling this 2G phone is now a 2G brick.
    Any other ideas?
    There must be a way to wipe the thing clean & start over.
    Thanks,
    -mark

  • IPod 4g stuck on connect to iTunes and not being recognised by my computer D:

    Basically I erased all data via reset option in settings and now when the iPod boots it shows the "connect to iTunes" picture, problem is for some reason my iPod doesn't even get recognised by any PC's in my house. I have tried uninstalling all my apple software, in services apple mobile device and iPod Service are both running, but in device manager there are no apple devices under the universal serial bus controllers.
    Please help I'm feeling rather sad about this and I have a bunch of exams coming up so I need my iPod to chill with a little bit. D:
    Thanks in advance,
    Ash

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • What can i do when my iphone activition screen show connect to itunes and not show wifi

    what can i do when my iphone activition screen show connect to itunes and not show wifi

    You also are not showing any cellular service. Have you contacted your provider regarding that? Regarding your WiFi, do you have wifi turned on in settings? Did you get your phone to show up in iTunes on your computer? I think we are dealing with several issues since you said that you have a message on your phone to connect to iTunes and you don't have cellular service.

    You need to restore the iPhone via recovery mode. To do this follow the link below to guide you:

    Because you need to restore to factory settings all data on the iPhone will be erased. Because the iPhone was never backed up most of the data you won't be able to get back.

  • 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

  • Hi my ipod 3 g is stuck on connect to itunes once its detected it says to unlock it because it has a passcode my question is how im i suppose to  unlock it when i dont get that option ive tried holding the wake btn

    hi my ipod 3 g is stuck on connect to itunes mode once connected it says to unlock  the whole thing here  it does not give me that option ive tried to hold the wake button & home that has not helped any suggestions thanks .

    Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
