My Ipod touch only shows a usb wire and itunes symbol when i turn it on. it does not show up on my itunes or in my computer. ive tried the troubleshooting stuff(reseting the ipod, reinstalling the newest itunes, restarting the computer) and nothing has changed. my ipod shuffle connects to my itunes just fine though.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
My ipad won't charge. All I get is picture of white USB cable and iTunes Logo.
My ipad won't charge. I must admit, I did use it until there was only 2% power left and then went and plugged directly into power and not through PC... but it won't charge. All I get is picture of white USB cable, an arrow and the iTunes Logo. I have turned off and on again as previous posts but all I get is the picture of the USB cable, arrow and iTunes logo. Please help...
I have been relatively patient - 3 hours on charge but all it does is show picture of USB cable and itunes logo. It it were charging you would think that a picture of the charge would come up to indicate status of charge - wouldn't you think?

when i finished downloading a usb cable and itunes logo appered so i plugged it in the itunes and it said i should take it out from recovery by restoring it.it took 3 hours but at last it didnt download what should i do?
Try holding the home and lock buttons until the iPad reboots. If it does not start up normally, then you will have to restore. To avoid any longer downloads, go to here: http://www.ipswdownloader.com/download-ipad-ipsw-files.php
and look for your iPad and download the latest firmware. When done downloading, make sure the file is in a easy place to get to. Then, go on iTunes and connect your iPad. Hold your shift key, and press restore. Locate the .ipsw firmware and restore. Make sure no programs are open during the restore proccess as it may interfere. -

I just updated my phone and it is now stuck with usb cable and itunes logo and itunes on my computer says I have to restore. Can I get my phone working again without loosing my photos?
There is no other way than to plug into a computer to restore the phone. You can use another computer to do so, but in case you did not back up to iCloud your data and settings will be gone.

When my iphone was updating it operating software, the USB cable came out of the port. Now the screen will only show the USB cable and the itunes icon. It is not recognized by the itunes store. I unintalled the USB driver for the iphone, but it still does not work. I have turned off the phone and performed a reset.
Try another Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts. This usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. If still problem you should Restore your iPhone with iTunes on computer. Here are simple steps. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click Restore Button of iTunes.

USB cable and itunes icons on screen
8gig ipod touch. Windows NT??? (don't know how to find the system). Touch was working fine. Now it shows an icon of a USB cable with an arrow pointing towards the iTunes logo. It seems to be saying, plug into itumes. I did. It says the ipod is in the middle of a reset and tells me to update firmware, then click the restore button in iTunes. Did all that. I still just have the icons of the USB cable and an arrow pointing to the iTunes icon.
I'm stumped. any help will be greatly appreciated.Thanks for replying.
I did the pwr & home button. Screen goes blank, then an apple logo, then the same USB cable icon to the iTunes icon. It seems to be stuck in the middle of a major function, it's looking for itunes, but when it finds it, itunes can't quite finish the proceedure. Very curious. -
