My iPad is stuck in iTunes Connection Mode ?, My iPad is stuck in iTunes Connection Mode ?
My iPad is stuck in iTunes connection mode. It displays the iTune with the connection cable. It won't allow me to restore or do anything to get my iPad started.
Can any suggest anything other than holding down the Home button and the on/off button. I've tried that with no result.
Try to do what this website says...

yes i am sure. This are the exact words... "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. The disk you are attempting to use is full. (Removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space". i tried some options, hard reset, redsnow, tinyumbrella but still it's stuck.

I have windows 8 enterprise OS and iTunes ver. 10.5.0.142. I was upgrading my iPad to IOS 6.1.3. After finishing the upgrade my iPad Reboot and currently stucked-up in a plug-in screen and iTunes Logo. When I try to connect it to the iTunes pop-up message appear saying " iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes." In short, I push the restore button then another pop-up message appear saying " The iPad software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." I tried many ways but still no luck. I repeatedly reboot the iPad and open the iTunes still the same problem. I try also to uninstall the iTunes and installed the lower version but still the same problem, I even check the firewall if the ITunes was block or My privileges is administrator to run the iTunes or even reset my winsock but the problem still remain. PLEASE HELP! Thank you in advance!!!
Turn off your firewall and antivirus software.

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. 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.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times. -

My ipad2 is stuck on connect to iTunes screen and won't reset. I had just downloaded the os update. How do I get it back?
The iTunes icon and cable mean that it's gone into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
You will need to connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and you should be able to use it to reset the iPad, and you can then restore/resync your content to it. -
Ipad 2 stuck in connect to itunes mode
My ipad 2 was updating to 5.1.1, is stuck in connect to itunes mode and cant be restarted nor switched off and itunes is not able to recognize my device.. it has been like this for the past hour!!! i even updated to the latest itunes to try to make my ipad 2 work... Can anyone help please??
Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
Thirdly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs -

IOS 8 + iPad 3 + Connect to iTunes + Stuck in Recovery Mode
Current issue
Went to apply iOS8 update to ipad and it began the update process over wifi
Screen went black after awhile, apple logo showed a few times, now stuck on connect to itunes logo.
Connected to iTunes and it says "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes"
Nothing is said about updating etc that has been mentioned.
Reiboot, recboot, etc none unlock it out of recovery mode.
Apple has pretty much bricked this ipad with the update. Anyone with a fix yet on this?Got the same problem with the iPad 2.
Don't want to restore to factory settings and lose all my photos.
Apple S**ks! -
So I was updating iPAD and while updating it stopped and gave me a typical error message but with error 4013. It worked fine before and is now stuck in the "connect to itunes mode" recovery mode. I have tried updating and no luck. I have even tried updating in DFU mode and no luck. Anyone git any solutions
Are you following these instructions?
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
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 shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device. -
My iPad mini is stuck in reboot mode and won't connect to itunes
My iPad mini shut down in the middle of me using an application and now is stuck in the reboot mode between the Apple logo and the wheel of death. I have tried to do the hard reboot many times and it just continues to circle around in the reboot loop. I tried to do the "volume up" trick as well that worked for some people and have had no luck.
I plugged in the iPad to see if I can just do a factory restore via iTunes and as soon as my iTunes recognizes the device is plugged in, it then asks me to "Please respond on your iPad" yet I cannot see anything on the iPad so it won't even allow me to do a factory restore.
Is there anything I can do to just reset the whole iPad and start from scratch? I don't know what app or program did this to it but now I'm stuck without any means to use it or even reset it!
Thank you!thanks for the reply, brian, but unfortunately that is what i meant by the hard reboot. i've done that many, many times and it's still stuck. nothing is helping and i can't even get it to sync to iTunes to restore it.
thanks anyway! -
IPad Stuck in "Please Connect to iTunes" Mode, but is Fully Booted.
So today was like any day, just downloading some apps, and like I often do I decided to restart my ipad before trying out a particularly large app I just got (Epic Citidel). So shut down is normal. I restart it, Apple logo, good, 30 second boot time, good, "Connect to iTunes" message, wait, what? My iPad is displaying the little iTunes icon and a 30-pin dock connector being attached to it, just like when I first got my iPad out of the box. But here's the odd part: iOS is fully Booted. How can I tell? I have a pair of headphones with one of those push-to-talk buttons, which also happened to pause and play music on my iPad. And upon pressing this button in my iPad's current state it does indeed proceed to play and pause music, as if everything were perfectly normal. So this must mean that iOS is fully booted and that there must not be anything majorly wrong hardware wise. I can't make it do much else though. Home button, double home, etc, nothing. The only other UI element that functions is the Shutdown Slider, which acts like normal. I have shutdown and restarted, cold booted, done just about everything, and it won't change.
So, I should just connect the iPad to my MacBook, do what ever it says, and get over it, right?
No, because iTunes says "Please Enter the passcode on your iPad before Syncing may take place" (or something to that effect). But the problem is that the passcode keypad only appeared once, on the very first "limbo" boot, and hasn't since. So I can't very well restore or do anyhting if iTunes won't connect.
Since I know you'll ask: No, I have never jail-broken or used any 3rd party anything on this iPad, it is "clean". It had OS 3.1.2? I don't know, the one right before the most recent (before the PDF fix). It's a 64GB 3G+Wifi Model, only like two months old. I've never had a significant problem with it before.Hello triflyer. I'm afraid I have lukewarm news. I was finally forced to bring it to the Apple Store (since it wouldn't even recover) and they basically said it's a hardware issue and there was nothing they could reasonably do for it. However, if your iPad is still under warranty (and I don't think any are old enough yet to not be) they'll most probably replace it for free right there at the store. (or at least that's what they did for me) Very painless and quick, just describe the problem to them and let them fiddle with it for a bit.
I only resorted to the Apple Store because it would not restore in Recovery Mode. But if you haven't tried Recovery Mode yet I suggest you do, because that might fix it. Follow these directions:
http://forums.ilounge.com/iphone/232387-instruction-how-force-restore.html
(Warning, this will delete all the data on your iPad that hasn't been synced!)
If you get error 1013 after it's almost done then make a Genius Bar appointment, because that's the same one I got.
I'm sitting here now with my new iPad restoring all of my data and media. It all worked out well in the end, hope yours does too! -
