Itunes logo appearing after restore attempt

Hi,
I was having trouble with my iphone 4 and went onto itunes (latest version) to back it up and restore.
After the restore, I got an error message saying that it couldn't restore the phone.
However, now all I have on my iphone is the little itunes logo with a lead and an arrow pointing to it.
I have tried to turn off and on the iphone - I have also tried a hard reset on the iphone but it keeps coming back with the same thing.
The iphone is not showing up in itunes now either so I can't do anything there.
I have rebooted the computer and reattached the lead from iphone to the computer - again, nothing.
I am at a complete loss right now and really need some help.  I can see that my iphone is telling me to connect to itunes with the little picture it is continually showing but it won't let me.
Urgent help would be much appreciated in easy to understand language please!!!
Many thanks.

Place the phone in DFU mode (search Goolgle for instructions) and restore as new.

    Your device is in recovery mode. Follow the steps in the support document that you linked to the forum from. You will have to restore. You may have to try this more than once, but it should work. Just connect to iTunes and select restore.

    I had this same problem when I tried to update.  It locked up during the update.  Your phone is in recovery mode.  The only way I could restore my phone was to connect to a different computer and ask it to restore my phone.  It worked and thanks to the fact that I had backed everything up to the iCloud before updating, everything is back to normal.  I won't be updating to IOS 6.2.1 again.  I had also updated iTunes and now whenever it starts it gives me an error message -42110 and doesn't recognize my Iphone when it's connected.  Hopefully,  Apple will fix this soon.  Good luck.

  • Since I installed the new update on my apple tv, itunes logo appears...

    Since I installed the new update on my apple tv, itunes logo appears and a white wire connecting it to the apple tv. The apple tv is no longer able to connect to Itunes? Yet everything is up to date.

    The update did not install properly and the ATV is in recovery mode.
    Connect it to a computer via a microUSB cable and restore it.

    when i pluged my ipod classic 5g to PC then it shows “iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. you must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes”?then after restoring the PIOD when IPod restarted then Itunes again detect the same ERROR.

    If you are using XP, and you went through the procedure at the bottom of the previously linked document to change the iPod's assigned drive letter, and you also tried putting it into Disk Mode... 
    If you have not already, try shutting down your computer and disconnecting all USB devices, including hub.  Start up with only standard keyboard and mouse connected.  Just to be safe, put the iPod into Disk Mode again

    Run iTunes.  Connect iPod to a direct USB port on computer.  iTunes may prompt you about "recovery" and ask you to do a Restore.  Try to do a Restore again.

  • IPod 4G stuck on logo screen after an attempt to restore

    Today I tried to restore my (jail broken) iPod 4th generation in iTunes. Half way through the restore it seemed like iTunes completely ignored it, it wouldn't show up under devices. So I unplugged it and now its stu k in the logo start up screen. After about five minutes of showing the logo it does a twitch and flashed white for a half a second then black for a second then back to the logo. After about six hours of doing this it turned off (I think it ran out of batteries)
    If any one can help me quickly that would be greatly appreciated!! (I want iOS 5)

    Put it in DFU mode and try a manual install, as outlined in the link below.

  • IPad Folders will not appear after restore. PLEASE HELP!

    Hi guys,
    first of all thank you all. I am new at this forum and I see it is very helpfull. I have a little annoying problem. I have an iPad 1. I have done a constant back up, but when I had to restore it from the last back up I did, everything was synched back to my iPad except the fact that all chosen apps where all messed up and the folders were gone. Can somebody tell me for the future how can I do a back and avoid that after restoring all apps are messed up and make sure the iPad reappears exactely how it was (folders included)? Many thankx in advance.

    I copied this from a post a while back. For some reason the iPad likes to "blow up" the folder structure for some users from time to time. This is NOT my advice, but I thought it was interesting reading and it DID seem to make sense.
    I have never experienced this destruction of folders myself when syncing and I have never restored my iPad. See if this won't help you in the future.
    There is a secret as to why you are losing your folder arrangements.
    They can automatically unpack on a sync.
    We should all know there are screens off to the right of the valid eleven home pages. If your last page is full of icons and you inadvertently add another something is shoved off to the right. If you move home screens around using iTunes this also happens.
    If any icon filled with apps falls off to the right it will unpack and make a mess. If you move a home page filled with folders which are filled with icons around you can lose them all as they will unpack when you sync to iTunes.
    The best choice is to take the right most page and MAKE SURE NO FOLDERS ARE EVER IN THE RIGHT MOST PAGE. That gives you safety room from inadvertently scooting one or more folders into higher number screens. I place a few standard apps in the right most page to hold it in place.
    CREATING FOLDERS
    Second you are safer building your folders on the device itself. To do this I move everything off the bottom bar and use it as a placeholder (bus)to shuttle apps around as I figure out what group they should be added to. I have over 800 apps in 22 GB on the iPad now. Things are well organized and nice looking when scanning the home pages.
    When setting it up I just added all the apps at once. Then as I made room on the home screens I paused made sure my 'bus' was empty, then shut down the iPad to power off and back on again. This cleans up memory and on reboot the iPad will add as many of the hidden apps to the space on your eleven home pages. There after it became a session of rinse and repeat until all the apps I wanted where filed away and arranged.
    Use meaningful folder names.
    Apps from **
    There are some real junk apps that some how I managed to grab in the past. Others are surpassed by obviously more powerful and functional apps that have recently appeared so there is no sense in keeping them. If you delete them off the iPad they will reappear on the next sync unless you delete them from iTunes.
    How do you remember to delete them from iTunes too? When I get to the delete confirmation screen I take a screenshot which is stored in my Photos roll. Then I browse that roll while before the computer and find each app that needs to be permanently deleted. After deleting it from the PC I then delete the reminder picture.

  • Only apple logo appears, cannot restore ipod, tried to restore and received error code 1602, what can I do?

    I am trying to figure out why I cannot restore my Ipod touch 64, when I get through the whole restore it states "error code 1602".  I have used the original cable that came with the Ipod and have tried it on two different computers.  When I turn it on only the apple logo appears and nothing else happens.  Please help

    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.
    If the phone is stuck on the Apple logo, you can try a hard reset (deletes no info). Press and hold the power button and Home button until the phone turns off. Then try to power it up again.
    Simply restarting your computer will not cause your iPhone to stop working unless there is a major issue with software conflicts on your computer... i.e.... corrupt iTunes installation.
    Try disabling any security software you might have and avoid using and USB hubs or extenders etc.
    If the hard reset doesn't work in getting your phone to boot up, then you'll have to do a restore of the device.

  • IPad crashed w/ iTunes logo, Apple store restore it, now I can't get my app

    I'm pretty new in Apple world, iPad is pretty much my very first Apple product. I love it but this problem been driving me nuts in the last couple days.

I had to bring to Apple store to figure out whats wrong and they offered me to restore it, alright fine...it's restored within 10 minutes. before I left the store, I asked them again will I get all my apps back from iTunes ?? and they said +"yes, as long as you download from itunes, you can re-download it again from itunes+".
    So here I am, been trying to re-download all my Apps back since couple days ago, I plugged into iTunes and can't figure out at all !! I read this support : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1391 but I didn't see any "purchased" in my iTunes 10.2.0.34.

    thank you nick101 for your reply. seems like that's the only way, yes ? i wish there is a better way to re-download the whole apps by a click, instead of search it one by one, unless I miss something here ? Anyway ive been downloading all the apps one by one, hopefully it will be done soon. thanks again nick101 !!
    There's no easier way just using iTunes, which is annoying; you can make it easier by regularly syncing the iPad to your desktop and taking backups of the desktop.

  • HT1430 My iPhone is completely frozen. I did a hard reset about 10 times and finally the iTunes logo appeared with a plug-in showing. I can't get it to anything else. Help?

    You're not alone. I am having similar problems with my Ipod 5th gen 30gb.
    When I connect it to my laptop (Vista - basic) it is not recognised by itunes. Itunes simply locks up.
    So far I have tried the following to no avail:
    Checked my pc's device manager - it recognises the device and says it is functioning properly.
    Checked the drivers to make sure they are upt to date.
    Uninstalled & reinstalled a previous version of itunes (as it worked fine before the latest release).
    Reinstalled the latest itunes.
    Reset the ipod.
    Put the ipod into disk mode and reconnected to itunes.
    Have tried to use the windows tool to scan and fix any bad sectors but it fails to complete a scan without locking that up as well.
    Placed into disk mode when fully charged and then allowed the battery to drain completely. Then reconnected ipod (in disk mode)and it still is not recognised and locks up itunes.
    At this point I dont really want to part with another $300 odd dollars for a new one.

  • Can't drag music from iTunes to iPod after restore and sync

    I did a restore on my 80 Gb iPod classic because the 'catalog' became disorganized. The restore (from latest iTunes under Win7) and the sync/loading of songs seemed normal. The iPod works completely normally EXCEPT when connected to iTunes. Then, I can no longer drag albums to the iPod and the iPod song display is in grayed text instead of black.
    My only theory is that I may have responded to a dialog box during sync which showed my very old and no longer used apple ID. iTunes uses my current ID.
    If that IS the case, how do I fix it? Or, what other kinds of things could be wrong?

    Probably. I ran in that mode since the thing was new, only changing after restore because sync is the default and when I uncheck sync music there is this ominous dialog box saying that 'not sync' will cause all of the content to be removed (or words to that effect).
    I'll mess around a little. The worst thing that could happen is losing this tound and going back to restore!
    Thanks
