IPhone stuck on unknown screen, how to get back to normal start up screen?

My iPhone is stuck on a screen showing a usb needing to be plugged into iTunes.
I simply want to get it back to the original state ie. not being able to use the phone part of it but I can use the rest...like when it first came out of the box.

Here is a rough picture.
Anyone know how to reset it or anything?
Any help is hugely appreciated.

Are you using the SIM that came with the iPhone?
Try re-seating the SIM as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1438
Did this happen when you attempted to update the iPhone? Have you used any 3rd party software to unlock the iPhone?

  • How to get past the grey start up screen after mavericks update

    I have recently installed a free update of Mavericks on the App store. However after installing this, the Macbook Pro that i've installed on will not boot beyond the Grey start up screen. I was running Snow Leopard on a machine with intel core 2 duo processors 4 Gb of RAM and over 100Gb of free memory.
    I have attempted a safe boot (holding down shift while while holding the power button down), and Reseting the NVRAM by pressing 'command', 'option', 'P' and 'R' at the same time.
    I do not have an installation disk or a time machine back up.
    Does anyone know how to get passed the Grey start up Screen?
    Any Suggestions would be mucho appreciated.

  • I had lost my iphone 5 last week. How to get back or is it lock permanently?

    I had lost my iphone 5 last week. How to get back or is it lock permanently?

    If you had "Find My iPhone" enabled in Settings > iCloud then you may be able to locate it. If not, you cannot locate it.
    If it was enabled then you can try locating it via http://icloud.com on a computer or the App "Find My iPhone" on another iDevice. You can also tell your iPhone to "Play Sound", enter "Lost Mode", or "Erase".
    Note: this will only work if your device is connected to a network and the device hasn't already been restored as new and/or "Find My iPhone" has not been disabled on it. Note: Disabling "Find My iPhone" is much more difficult in iOS 7.
    If you think that your device was stolen rather than lost then you should report it to the police. In either case you should contact your carrier, change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

  • The screen froze on a. Page of Facebook and I can't move it. I can still get to Facebook by logging in. any idea on how to get back to normal operation?

    Facebook page froze when I tried to swipe it. I can get back to Facebook only by logging in each time and then the page is smaller than usual. How to unlock the frozen page?

    try resetting your iPad. HOld down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps. It won't hurt your data.

  • Read-only system - how to get back to normal ?

    Two days ago, while I was trying to transfer data to an external hard-disk, my 12" iBook G4 suddenly turned down with no particular reason, and I cannot start it properly any longer.
    As I have absolutely no technical knowledge, I have no clue what to do, and I hope I can get some valuable advice on this Forum.
    I need this iBook - and most of all I do urgently need some data it contains -
    but I am at the moment in Cambodia - where I could not find any Apple dealer up to now, except for iPod (probably not always original ones), which doesn't exactly make things easier...
    This is what happens when I try to start the iBook:
    at the begining, everything seems quite normal...Apple logo shows up, then this rotating thing for a short time...after that the screen turns black, leaving only on the left upper corner in white script the mention :/ root # or :/ root#.
    It looks very much like on some computer screens I saw about 20 years ago, maybe with a slightly better quality.
    Then there is not very much else to do, except that you can get the mention "Display all 872 possibilities? (y or no)" by pushing the Tab key for about 3 or 4 seconds.
    If you agree, you get a list of many things (could be 872), which appear to be mostly function or system checks...all in the same white script on the black screen...some of these checks or things work, some don't...the iBook even gives the reason why some are not working: precisely because they cannot be shown in what is called "read-only system"...now, my problem is that I don't want this read-only system, as it is of absolutely no use to me, and I cannot read any information fom my HD that I need very urgently (and certainly before I go to a country where they have Apple dealers).
    I have no idea if this is a common problem, I don't even know how serious it is.
    The only thing I know for sure is that the iBook obviously is still living at the moment, but it is not working the way I need it to work.
    I tried to restart it numerous times, including by using the Install disk, but nothing helps...maybe the problem there is that the iBook is not understanding I want it to use the Install CD as the starting disk, but I don't know how I can make me understood as long as the screen only shows this white script...
    Anyway, I have no clue what to do, and I am hoping I can get some good advice on how to act before going to some PC dealer (it is already annoying enough that I have to use a PC in order to try to find out how to make my Apple product work properly).
    Thanks very much for any input.

    You do have the CDs with the system software, correct?
    You don't say what operating system you are running, is it 10.3.x or 10.4.x?
    If it is 10.3, then put the #1 CD in the computer, restart it and hold down the C key while it boots up.
    When the installer window comes up, click on apple menu and select disk utility.
    When that window opens, select your hard drive (rather than the CD) and click on repair hard drive.
    When it is finished, quit disk utility and restart the computer. As it is restarting, you can hold down the F12 key to eject the CD. You should be back to normal. If it was a firewire drive you were copying data to, you might have lost the data if you didn't get to eject the disk before you lost access to it.
    +You can and should repair the external drive you were copying data to also, although you can do that from the disk utility (in the Utility folder inside the Application folder) while booted from your laptop, in addition to doing it while booted from the #1 installer CD.+
    You should continue making the backup of your data as soon as you get access to it, as you could be headed for a very unhappy situation if your hard drive crashes before you back it up. If you haven't lost a hard drive yet, you will. Everyone will at some time in their computing lifetime. Don't let it ruin your life, back it up now!

  • How to get back windows that are off screen?

    I use my macbook at work with one attached display, and then at home with a different attached display. The two extra displays are different sizes. A lot of times when I plug it into the smaller of the two displays, some of the windows come up off screen and I can't figure out how to drag them back on. For example now I have a Microsoft Word window where the bottom half is on the screen, and the top half is up above the top of the screen. The only way I know to move a window is to grab the top edge and drag it, but the top edge is off the screen so I can't do that.
    Also sometimes a window is bigger than the screen height, and the only way I know to make it smaller is to drag the bottom right corner, but the bottom right corner is off the screen and the window height is bigger than the monitor height.
    Is there a way to get these windows back all the way onto the screen? Thanks.

    This is one of the most serious flaws of the Macintosh, and in many instances there is just NO answer. You could resort to writing a script using the Script Editor, but this seems a tough way to get round what is essentially a bug in the OS - it has been there for over 20 years and I don't think Apple are about to realise that the age of multiple screens and changing screen sizes is here NOW and it is time to change so we can resize from any border like all other modern OSs.
    If you want to try the script approach - try this link for help:

  • HT5624 how to get back my "AAp store" application on Iphone 4....

    how to get back my "AAp store" application on Iphone 4....

    The App store app is a built in app and cannot be deleted. Try:
    Check settings to see if restrictions are turned on and/or if Installing apps is turned off (Settings app > General > Restrictions)
    Check all of your home screen (by swiping left to right), and folders to see if was inserted into one. (you can also use Spotlight search which will tell you if it is in a folder. Swipe down on the Home screen and type in "app Store")

  • My iPad calendar has stopped syncing to my iPhone calendar. I didn't change any settings. I have now switched off the iCloud calendar on my iPhone but don't know how to get it back.

    I added items to my iPad calendar yesterday but they wouldn't copy into the calendar on my IPhone. I switched both devices off and on again but to no avail. The calendars were all ticked the same. I have now deleted the iCloud calendar from the iPhone but don't know how to get it back.
    My Errands app is also not syncing. If I mark something as Done on the iPad, it's not removing them on the iPhone version.

  • Both Chrome and Finder seemed to freeze, so I restarted the computer. When the restart finished, I was in recovery mode. How do I get back to my regular login screen?

    Both Chrome and Finder seemed to freeze, so I restarted the computer. When the restart finished, I was in recovery mode. How do I get back to my regular login screen?
    It starts up and asks for a language. After English, it goes to the OS X Utilities screen. I have gone to disk utility and verified the disks. They both say they are okay. If I click repair, it comes back with an error saying "Live file system repair is not supported." I just want my computer back to normal! Please help! I am still in Mavericks if it matters.

    Do you have a backup? If so, in the Recovery Partition go to Disk Utility/Erase, select Mac OS Extended (Journaled), click Option GUID, and erase the disk. Then re-install the OS. Reboot and use Setup Assistant to recover your data.
