My iPhone 4 is stuck on USB/iTunes screen. Please help!

I tried updating my iPhone 4 via iTunes and received a error message and now my phone screen is stuck on the USB/iTunes screen. I have tried plugging, unplugging, starting, restarting, now iTunes doesn't even recognize the device. Please Help!

Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer, hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, then release the Power button, keep holding the Home button, for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Then click the Restore button of iTunes.
If any Error Messages are given, write then down so you can look up the cause and solution.
If you still have Warranty or AppleCare, you may have to take to Apple for resolution. Make Genius Reservation for shorter wait time.

  • HT201401 iPhone 4s stuck on red battery screen - please help!

    Please assist.
    Phone was on 1% this moring and i plugged it in as you do. The battery stayed on 1% and I then switched the phone off in a 'restart' attempt. MUCH regret now cause the phone will not switch on!
    It is now stuck on the red battery icon and does not charge up or switch on :-(
    Please help me! The phone is plugged into a wall and also wont reset

    Try to charge it on the computer, or use another cable. Leave it on charge the whole night. If it does not work, press the home botton and screen botton together till the apple icon appears.
    Hope this will help

  • HT4993 My iphone is stuck on the itune screen.  I have tried pushing the on/off and the bottom button and nothing happens.  I plugged it in the computer and pushed the bottom button as I saw to do on the internet.  I never got the restore screen.

    My iphone is stuck on the itune screen.  I have tried pushing the on/off and bottom buttons and the phone will turn off but come right back to the itune screen  I also tried plugging  my iphone into my computer and holding down the bottom button to see if i could get to the restore screen.  Nothing, just the itune screen.  Any ideas what to do to fix my phone?

  • Ipod touch stuck in USB- Itunes screen

    I just got this iPod from my sister for school. So I was downloading Itunes and I was putting some pictures on it. Then the next time I tried to connect it to my computer it kept saying something like "iPod could not be connected to computer please reset settings" so I hit restore in Itunes. The a get a message like this "Your iPod could not be restored." I look at my iPod and notice that it has the itunes logo with a usb cord pointing towards it, and that's it. Mind you, my iPod was plugged into the computer the whole time and it said it recognized my ipod before the update, but now, it doesn't. So basically, I just have a piece of **** ipod that will not work. Awesome. My itunes library is working great, and I even downloaded the latest version (I think it was 10.6.1) but I had already 10.6 before I did any of this, since I just recently downloaded itunes to my laptop. So my itunes is up to date. Itunes will not recognize the iPod at all, but when I plug the usb cord, my laptop makes a noise and that's about it. My computer does not show up any device being plugged in, so nothing recognizes the ipod. I've already scanned through most of the discussion and cannot find a solution. I've already tried the DFU method, which I can't even do that since the screen stays the same, no matter what. It's basically stuck on the itunes/usb screen. If I hold the power button down, it will make the screen go black, but then it will start back up if I press it again, so it's like not even shutting down. I've been to:

    And yet, my device still will not work. It is stuck on that screen, my laptop won't recoginze the device, iTunes won't recognize the device, and I'm out school resource... So yeah, help???

    Unless iTunes sees the iPod when connected on another computer, it is time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I do not know of anything else to try.

  • HT1386 Hi I hope someone can help me. My Iphone is stuck on an Itunes screen showing a lead on the screen , it happen when it come up with an error while trying to download the latest update

    Hi my Iphone is stuck on a screen where it show Itunes with a pic of the cable . Tried to restore phone but it wouldnt let me .Not sure how to fix ?????

    What does it say when you try to restore it? Is it an error code that it gives you or does it simply say the restore failed? The error code could help us figure out what is wrong with it, but in most cases something like this usually leads to needing to service the device (i.e. get a repair).

  • HT201263 iphone 3gs stuck in activation mode. Please help

    Help! My old iphone 3gs is stuck in activation mode.  I contacted at&t to get the phone unlocked for sale.  I was told by representative during a chat session that the phone would become unlocked once I did a backup and restore with itunes on my computer.  I did this, then the phone was stuck in recovery mode.  Through itunes I got the phone out of recovery mode, now it is stuck in activation mode.  Any ideas?  The phone has never been jailbroken or unlocked in the past.  Please help.

    Here's a troubleshooting guide for activation issues:

    If nothing works, try another computer, if still does not work, your iPhone may have a hardware failure.

  • Ipod stuck on "Usb -- iTunes" screen on my ipod.

    I attempted installing the iPod Touch 2.2 Update and it gave me an error, and now my ipod is stuck with the screen of a USB cable with an arrow pointing up to iTunes.
    I've unplugged and replugged it into my laptop, I've even powered down my iPod and unplugged it, only to have the same screen when turning it back on. iTunes is no longer detecting my ipod either.

    Hi Kangarew,
    The iPod is in recovery mode, which is described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Ipod stuck on usb/itunes screen but won't connect to anything

    My ipod touch is stuck on a screen with a picture of a usb plug and says itunes store.  It will not connect to the itunes store and I have tried restarting with menu and power key.

    UPDATE: It finally decided to start working again, but it's been rather wonky for quite some time now. I'm not at all happy, especially considering I can't afford a new one.

  • My iPhone wont boot up stuck at start up screen (Please Help)

    i have a original 2.5G phone with 8gigs... running 2.0
    i was installing Bubble Wrap from the mobile app store and went back to the app store and it was being very glitchy ... nothing was loading and everything had a little delay... so anyway i go to hold the top on/off button for five seconds to get the slide to turn off... so i can reboot it and then the phone crashes and turns off with horizontal lines and starts rebooting... at this point it is stuck at the apple logo and does nothing else...
    i already tried holding down the on/off button and the home button together to reboot and it still stays stuck... it reboots but always stays at the apple screen...
    i am currently at work and dont have access to my Mac so i cant connect it to it to even do a restore... which *****... anything i can do from here?
    thanks.
    UPDATE: I just connected it to the PC here at the office and it acctually was able to read and transfer photos over through the camera wizard so it is reading the info on it but im not sure whats going on... its as if it has booted up but the home screen is not there just the Apple boot up screen.
    **** this ***** not having your phone work and not being able to restore it until you get home.

    i downloaded the new iphone software (the box popped up on my screen when syncing), so i clicked download. after i downloaded it, i turned my phone off and when i hit back on, all im getting is the silver apple. WHAT IS GOING ON??? its like it just keeps trying to start up because the apple will come on for 10 seconds, then cut off for 3 seconds, then repeat. i held down the sleep/wake button for 30 seconds and cut it off completely. but when i cut it on, it does the same thing! was this software a virus or malfunctioning? this is stressing me out!! does anyone know what to do?? PLEASE HELP

    Hi there scott, i have the same problem, 3g is stuck in recovery mode, could you please email on how to solve this problem. Thanks

  • My Mac g5 is stuck on apple logo screen, please help!

    I have a Mac g5 before they had intel (so its pretty old) and today it was stuck on the apple logo screen and the fans become really loud. I don't know what's wrong with it, I'm scared to do anything as I don't wanna lose all my files. I was going to take it to the apple store to get it fixed but if there is nothing they can do I don't wanna take a 45 min drive to get there. Any info will help! Thanks!
    Megan

    Hi Megan,
    Most Apple stote don't know what a G5 is, nor will most even look at them or work on them, so call 1st if deciding to try that.
    If worse comes to worse we can easily pull the drive(s) & get the info back most likely.
    You'll have to power off, then hold alt key at bootup to see if any boot disks show up.
    If not...
    Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
    (Space between fsck AND -fy important).
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

    Do you have the G5's Install Disc?

    Hello jose mariofromsan luis potosi,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are saying that your iOS devices are not showing up in iTunes on your Windows computer, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
    On the other hand, if you are saying that your devices are only showing a Connect To iTunes icon screen, then this article may be more useful:

    Hi everyone! I tried to install the new iOs 7 on my iphone 4, but it wasn't completed (showing error 4005). Now, my iphone is stuck on the itunes' logo with the usb cord, and I can't use my phone. And itunes doesn't detect my iphone when I connect it on my computer, so I can't put it in recovery mode or someting like that... What can I do?? I tried everything they tell me to do in the apple support but nothing seems to work. Thank you!

    No problem, glad to help!
    Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine.
