iphone 4 not recognised by laptop after upgrading Itunes, the itunes symbol and a usb cord has appeared on my Iphone 4 screen. Frustrated isn't the word.
After installing latest version of Itunes, I connected my Iphone via USB and selcted yes to upgrade my Iphone, towards the end of the upgrade a notification popped up indicating that the upgrade had failed. Since then my Iphone just isn't responding, I've tried reinstalling Itunes, turning off Norton Security.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you Carolyn,
I've been through all those and apart from anything else, itunes is not seeing my phone, I therefore cannot restore the phone.
Have tried deleting and reinstalling itunes in case something was missing there, though the fact the problem is on both my mac and my windows machine seems to me to suggest a phone problem..
Is it possible that the latest IOS update which I did a week or so ago was not completed correctly? If so could this cause the problem? And how can I correct it?
Many thanks -
I started to Update my Ipod, and now it is a useless paper weight, what do I do?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My phone will not turn off, has not done so for ages, Today I tried to upgrade which failed . Now my screen shows only the itunes symbol and a usb lead. When I connect to itunes it informs me the sim card is not supported though it works on other phones. HELP
Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message. -

My ipod is displaying the itunes logo and a usb cord. I've tried resetting it but it didn't work. Any suggestions?
Your in DFU mood do this:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Follow these steps to perform a recovery-mode restore on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You may need to perform a recovery-mode restore if you experience any of the following situations on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device:
Displays the Apple logo with no progress bar or a stopped progress bar for over ten minutes.
Restarts but never displays the Home screen.
Is no longer recognized in iTunes after an update or restore did not complete.
Automatically goes into recovery mode after having an issue while installing an update or performing a regular restore.
How to perform a recovery-mode restore
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is already showing the "Connect to iTunes" screen, please go to step 5.
Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
"iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you see the Connect to iTunes screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, follow these troubleshooting steps if you're using a Mac, or these steps for Windows computers.
Additional Information
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. -

I need help with my iPod, its stuck on a screen with the iTunes symbol and the charger below it can anyone help me?
This happens when the operating system on the phone becomes corrupted. This could be because of a failed update to the OS or even a hardware failure due to being dropped or submerged in water. If you follow the instructions indicated, hopefully iTunes will be able to restore the OS and afterward you can restore the settings from a backup (assuming you have one).
If this does not solve the problem you will need to take the phone to an authorized repair center. -
I have had the iPod for about 2 years, and never had this problem. When I plug into iTunes I get the "iTunes cannot connect with this iPod because of pass code" message, but I can't enter my pass code because the screen won't change! If someone could please help, it would be appriciated!
With your iPod still connected to your PC, try a hard reset. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If still no luck, try placing the iPod in Recovery Mode using the instructions in this Apple support document and then restoring it to factory defaults in iTunes.

When ever i turn on my ipod i get the itunes symbol and the cord
HELP! Yesterday my itouch 2nd generation 16Gb turned off and so i charged it thinking it would turn on like usual but when i turned it on, the apple showed up and then it would show the itunes symbol and the cord that you use to connect your ipod to the computer. So thinking that it would unlock my itouch, i plugged it into the computer but then a box appeared that said.... "itunes could not connect to your ipod "ipod touch" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the ipod before it can be used with itunes." But the problem with that is that i can't get onto my ipod because of the symbol saying htat i need to plug it into the computer and connect with itunes. Is there anything i can do to get it to unfreeze so i can enter my passcode??
p.s... I tried turning it off and turning it back on and i also tried pressing the top button and the center button trying to unfreeze my ipod touch.this might work..I had the same problem and it worked for me...
You need to put your touch into recovery mode and then restore it. Here's how:
1. Disconnect it from your computer
2. Hold down the Sleep/Wake switch until you see the red slider. Turn it off.
3. Start iTunes
4. Hold down the Home button and keep holding it down while you plug the iPod back into your computer.
5. Keep holding down the Home button until iTunes responds with "and iPod has been detected in Recovery Mode". Release the Home button and follow the onscreen instructions to restore. -

My i pod shows the itunes symbol on the screen and will not let me do anything, any ideas?
I did the iso 6 upgrade and now my ipod shows the itunes symbol and will not do anything else, any one having that problem or know what i can do/
For that you will need to follow this.
Passcode Locked or Disabled
If your device is locked with a passcode or disabled you will have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with. This is so that you can restore your apps, data and settings. You can restore it with any other computer, but you will lose all of your info from on the Device.
Instructions can be found here.
