Please stop altering the fonts, it makes reading postings extremely difficult. If help is desired, making postings difficult to read is not the way to get help.
Put the device in DFU mode (google it), then restore.

I was in the process of backing up my iPhone 5c when iTunes asked me if I'd like to update my iPhone. I agreed but I guess there was a problem when updating because it showed an error screen then everything stopped. Now my iPhone 5c is stuck on the connect to itunes screen. I've tried everything to try and fix this problem. Holding the home/power button and trying to restart, uninstalling/re-installing iTunes and nothing has worked so far. Please help!!
You will need to connect your iPhone to your computer and restore it using iTunes. If you are unable to do so, you will need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.
Best,

my iphone 4s is stuck on the "connect to itunes " screen. it will not go away nor will restoring it work either. what do i do?
Mine gave me an error in itunes side that it didnt recognize the phone. But when I unplugged and re plugged it it was fine. Or is yours on the screen with the little plug? You might have to go to Apple. I have that happen to a friend on the 7 upgrade. She needed a new phone. oy!

My iPhone 4S is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen,anyone know how to fix it?
My iPhone 4S is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen, I tried to update it last night and something went wrong. I tried connecting it to iTunes but it won't connect to my phone, any ideas?
Here is what you can try,
Hold both the power and home buttons until the device powers off, may take 10sec. Let go of both as soon as screen goes black.
Open itunes on your computer and plug in your cable to the computer but NOT the phone.
Once itunes is open hold down the home button on phone and plug in cable and continue holding home button until you see the connect to iTunes logo on screen. iTunes will give a msg that a device has been detected in recovery mode. Now select restore and do not disconnect until you see your device in iTunes again. -
Since my iPhone 4S was stuck on the connect to iTunes screen after updating to iOS 7, I followed these instructions and restored. But nothing changed! I still have the same picture of a plug with arrow to iTunes.
It is restored now. Thanks for the comment about disabling firewalls - we did that and tried again and it worked.

my iPhone 4S is stuck at the enter passcode section. i couldn't shut it off or anything. i cant even reset or reboot the iPhone. what should i do???
If after trying Namyi steps. If there is still problem. If you want to Restore iPhone Firmware. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Then hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Then click Restore button of iTunes.

IPhone 4 is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen and won't activate?
My friend wanted me to back up his iPhone 4 but when he brought it over it seemed like it was in recovery mode and it is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen. He never connected the iphone 4 to iTunes before this and I know he didn't tamper with it. When I try to sync the iPhone 4 with iTunes it accepts the iPhone but I keep getting a message that says that " the iPhone cannot be activated and may be damaged & to bring it in to the nearest Apple Store" this makes no scense cause the phone has not been tampered with at all & it seems that everything on the start up menu is working fine, the touch screen, voice prompts, the volume up/down, vibrate, home and sleep/power buttons are all operating properly? The only thing is that he hasn't payed his bill and AT&T shut his service off, but I don't think that this would cause the phone to go into recovery mode. What does cause the iphone-4 to go into recovery mode and why would I even have to activate the iPhone-4 if it was already set up? If this has happend to anyone else or if anyone can help me out on this one, I would appreciate it even if the answer ends up being that he needs to take his iphone-4 into the Apple Store or AT&T because the iphone-4 is under 6 months old and like I said has no physical damage at all? Help anyone???
well I only have a 3gs so I'm not all up on the current but the way I see it you have a few option's depending on the route you want to take,
If you don't mind loosing what's on the phone (if you want to try save info try 2 before 1)
1. (Best Chance) put the iphone into DFU mode, (1. turn off iphone while plugged into computer, then hold the sleep button count to three 2. then hold the home button whiile still holding the sleep button, count to 10 3. release the sleep button but keep home button,) then itune should detect the phone and offer to restore it, this should restore it
1b. I would repeat above with a active SIM card, doesn't make a difference where I live but you never know
1c. I wouold try On difference Computer (rule out bad download, currupt driver's etc etc
If you want to try save the information then I would say you are doing some of this at your own risk as I'm not sure about apple rules regarding these, the steps should all be legal but might void your warrently so be warned!
2. Download a utility call Tinyumbrella ( http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com/ ) and have you phone connected and run the program, on the left should be a list of connected devices (make sure itunes is closed) click on the device connected and on the right click exit recovery, hopefully your device will reboot normally, (there's also an fix recovery option but I've never used that)
2b this option is to jailbreak your phone as that "hacktivates" your phone if using this option and it works I suggest a FULL backup then follow option 1 above, download a program call Redsn0w ( http://blog.iphone-dev.org/tagged/redsn0w ) and follow the instructions that come with it, again if this works I suggest a full backup then follow option 1 about even if you do wish to stay "jailbroken"
this advice is just some idea's as you have given no information on what happen or firmware involved current mood of phone ^^ I can only hazard a guess at the problem< if after these steps is doesn't work i suggest trying to bring it back and get someone professional to look at it

I was attempting to update my iPhone 4 to the new iOS 7.0.4 via my computer after I plugged it in to create a backup copy and something went wrong before it could finish and I recieved an error message. Now my phone is stuck on the "Connect to iTunes screen". I've tried everything to reset & restore my phone with no luck!
I have:
-Restarted my computer
-Updated iTunes to most current version
-Turned phone on and off several times, waiting up to a half hour before turning on (to be greeted directly with apple logo then the connect to iTunes screen)
-Turned on, turned on and held home button (nothing happens)
-My computer is NOT recognizing my device at ALL! But when I plugged my boyfriends iPhone in, it detected it no problem.
I tried calling my phone from the other phone and it goes straight to voicemail. I am super frustrated! Does anybody know what is going on?I was able to restore my phone!!!
I called Apple and they said there was nothing more I could do. I called my carrier Verizon and was able to get my computer to recognize my device after trying this-
Solution:
After trying EVERYTHING this is the ONLY thing that worked-
I took the USB connector cable out of the USB port it was in, and tried another one on the otherside of my laptop and iTunes was able to discover my phone in recovery mode. My phone was reset and everything is fine ( thank gosh for backup copies!) -
I downloaded the new update on my iphone 4 and now its stuck on a screen where it shows a usb pointing up towards the itunes symbol, and i have tried syncing my phone to itunes to finish it but itunes wont detect my phone. What do i do? Please help
Do exactly as the image suggests, connect to iTunes and restore.

My iphone 4 is stuck in the 'Connect to itunes' screen after updating to OS7.
I have an iphone 4 which worked perfectly before. I went through the update process to the latest OS and now I can't get it to progress beyound the iphone setup screen. itunes sees it fine and reads it fine but whichever option I pick it goes through the process, gives me all the progress bars etc and goes through the motions of restoring from backup but then it just loops back to the setup screen. Can anyone help please?
Hey MarcoCr,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like your iPhone is currently in recovery mode. To resolve this, you will need to restore the device with iTunes:

I have the iPhone 6 plus. I have no troubles sending and receiving text messages. I can also send pic messages but I cannot receive them. I have T-mobile and have been calling them for the past 2 months but the issue hasn't been resolved. Anyone has a similar issue, please help.
Hello Soccergump,
For issues with sending and receiving text messages, take a look at the article below to continue your troubleshooting. You may need to sign out of iMessage and sign back in as well as resetting the network settings. One other thing to check is to make sure that your friends did not get blocked from being able to send you messages.

My iphone 3gs is stuck on the "connect to iTunes" screen!
I just got my iphone 3gs yesterday. The guy at the AT&t store told me to update it. Yesterday it didnt work, but today it did. I followed all the directions i've got it set up to the wifi. When it came to the "Set up iPhone" screen i selected itunes backup. I had it backed up and everything already on my computer. The next screen was the connect to iTunes screen. I plugged it in and it synced and i could see the little sync icon on the bar at the top of my phone. It won't let me off the screen now. I've tried plugging it in almost 10 times and it still wont let me off the screen. I would like to not have to set it up as a new iPhone if possible. Any suggestions?
Nevermind. i reset it. Thanks a lot people.

please help i cant make or recieve calls from my iphone if i try to make a call or recieve the speaker automatically picks up and i cant hear the person on the other endd and they cant hear me?
This is a common problem with iPhone 4s (and IOS 5) There isn't ' anything you can do about it, so you're best bet is to go down to the store and get an exchange. If you have an older iPhone (3gs/4) roll back your update from IOS 5 to IOS 4.
