IPhone won't exit recovery mode/ keeps saying "connect to iTunes"

I recently updated my iPhone 6 plus to iOS 8.2 everything was going fine, I was able to download the new iOS. I was updating the phone when suddenly iTunes informed me that I had to restore the phone in order for it to be updated. I gladly did. And then after a while, iTunes informed me again that the device could not be found (or something like that, "like the computer can't find the iPhone"). And it went into recovery mode. It just kept showing "connect to iTunes" on the screen. I have tried restaring and reseting the phone but it comes back to the "connect to iTunes" (even though it is connected) and when I try to restore it again, the same thing happens. It's stuck in recovery mode and I can't use the phone. What should I do?
A friend of mine told me that I should not have updated to iOS 8.2 right away because it still has some bugs (?). And that this is the reason why I couldn't get past the recovery mode. Is this true? Any insight would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Ooops sorry about that. It must've been 8.1.2 then? I honestly don't remember.. I wasn't paying attention when I updated since I regularly do it for my iPad, other phones. Anyway, whatever is the latest version of the iOS, it got me stuck in recovery mode.
really sorry about the 8.2 Info

See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 to restore the phone using Recovery Mode. You will lose all content on the phone. This is the only way to bypass the lock screen if you don't have the last computer the phone was synced to.

Plug your device into iTunes and restore it to its last backup.

If you want to solve your problems, unjailbreak. And don't do it again, because jailbreaking causes problems as you read about in that article. You can try Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

IPhone 5 stuck in recovery mode. Not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Hi,
My iphone 5 stuck during update to 8.2. It is now frozen in recovery mode, showing a 'connect to itunes' screen. The problem I have is that (the recently upgraded to 12.0.1) itunes is not recognizing my device. I have tried all of the suggestions here: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows, to no avail. I have not removed iTunes and reinstalled to test that, as I am concerned this will destroy the backups of my phone - which I will now desperately need once the phone is recovered.
Has anyone got any suggestions?
Cheers

Hi AmberX92,
If you receive an error 3194 when attempting to restore your iPhone, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Hi Bobi1346,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities and for including the error number you are getting.
There's an article for troubleshooting that error.

Try these steps to resolve the issue:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Restart your computer.
Make sure your computer is up to date. If an update requires a restart, check for updates again after you restart.
Learn more about updating OS X.
Learn more about updating Windows.
Restore using another USB cable.
Restore your device on another computer.
If you continue to see error 4005, 4013, or 4014 when you restore your device, contact Apple for support.
Take care,

3rd gen appletv that keeps saying connect to itunes

I have a 3rd gen Apple TV that keeps saying connect to iTunes but I have to disconnect from iTunes and then re-connect to make it work. I have two other apple TVs (one 3rd gen and one 1st gen) that don't have this problem. I have them hard wired into a NETGEAR gigabit router and switches. I have reserved the IP addresses for the computer with iTunes and the Apple TVs so its not being reassigned another IP address. I can't for the life of me get this one Apple TV to stay connected to iTunes. Also, when I check the devices I can use with Airplay, this Apple TV is rarely listed as a device even when I'm streaming to it. Any help would be appreciated.

Is there left over stuff on the Mac that might be doing it? I did found an entry in localhost as leftovers from the old jailbreak, that's been fixed but I still keep getting this error.

Why does it keep saying connect to itunes

i cannot use most of my apps as it keeps saying connect to itunes to get push notifications. my notifications are of and i have connected to itunes but t still says that and nothing else happens. how can i stop this?

Well you're just a problem there John!
1. If you already downloaded and paid for a game, you can't be charged for it again, so you can delete it from your iPad and redownload it. OR
2. Connect your iPad to your computer via USB and in iTunes, sync your iPad, then open it by clicking on it from the left side of your screen. Once open, click on the apps button above and make sure you sync the game over.
Again, once you've paid for something you can't be charged again.......you'll get this sorted.

I updated to iTunes 12 and didn't like it. Followed advice to revert to 11.1. Now my iphone won't sync and error message says I need iTunes 11.2 or higher. Apple Download choices didn't have anything between 11.1.5 and 12. What can I do?

I updated to iTunes 12 and didn't like it. Followed advice to revert to 11.1. Now my iPhone 5 won't sync and error message says I need iTunes 11.2 or higher. Apple Download choices didn't have anything between 11.1.5 and 12. What can I do? Using iTunes 12 is not an option. Many features I used for audiobooks have disappeared.

The version immediately prior to 12 was 11.4.0.18. Here are direct download links from Apple's servers:
iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-09-09)
iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-09-09)
