My iPhone 4 Randomly cut off and "connect to itunes" screen appeared

I was using twitter on my phone (EchoPhone) and then my phone cut off. It would not turn back on when I pushed the power button. I went to the car and plugged into the car charger and the connect to itunes screen appeared. This has happened to 3 people I know in the past week.

  • HT1414 My iphone 4s is stuck in the CONNECT TO ITUNES screen (appears everytime i turn it on or connect it to a power source)

    It all started when i tried to update to iOs 6 but then, my battery drained. I charged it (va power source) and waited for the red battery bar icon to appear. However, it did not appear. Instead a CONNECT TO THE ITUNES screen appeared even when i'm not connected to a  laptop. It was stuck there. When i turned it off and on again, the same screen appears even my iphone is not connected to any kind of power source.
    What should i do?
    i tried turning it off and on again
    tried restarting it by pressing the wake button and the home button (a lot of times already), still the same
    i tried restoring it (noe effect)

    Hey p0507!
    Here is an article that addresses your error message, and can help you troubleshoot this issue:

    Configure your security software
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Common errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.

  • New Intel WIFI Link Driver Randomly cut off Internet Connection

    Two day ago I used ThinkVantage SYstem Update and installed Intel Wifi link driver (ver 13.01.1000). But since then my computer was randomly cut off internet connection, and the wireless signal strength icon on the system tray indicated no nearby wireless network. And then it powered off the wireless connection. Whatever I do, I cannot re-power on the wireless (I used Access Connection to power on the 802.11 wireless radio, but it could not be turned on and nothing happened) unless I restart the computer. 
    I thought it might be the router that malfunctioned as this problem never happened before. But after I checked the router and used another notebook to test wireless connection, I was sure the router ran very well.
    Then I re-installed the TVT Access Connection (ver 5.61) and the Intel WIFI Link Driver (ver 13.01.1000) but the problem remained. Could anybody give a possible solution? 
    I also noticed on Lenovo's website, the Intel wireless card driver for T61 is v13.00.0000 Windows Vista 23 Oct 2009. It's lower than what I have now. Could that be the cause?
    My ThinkPad T61 has the following configuration:
    Model: T61 8897CTO
    OS: WinVista Home Basic SP2 32bit
    Language: EN
    Wireless Card: Intel 3945 ABG
    Wireless Card Driver: 13.1.1.1 (previous one was 13.0.0.0)
    TVT Access Connection: 5.61
    Solved!

    Hi carlven,
    Anytime when wireless driver is updated, Access Connections also needs to be reistalled.
    Do this, first uninstall your wireless driver and access connections, thereafter reboot your system. Then install wireless driver first, again reboot, subsequently install access connections, reboot again.
    When installing any lenovo driver manually, keep in mind they first extract themselves to a default location in C:\Drivers..., second .exe setup must be run from that location to successfully install the drivers.
    Hope it helps.

  • My mac randomly cut off and it won't turn back on, what do I do?

    I just bought my mac the other day and I was about to Facetime someone and it randomly cut off and it will not do anything. It wont even charge. I don't know anything about computers so I have no clue what to do. PLEEEAAASSSEEE HEELLPP!!

    If it's new, then it is under warranty. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service. If it is a used computer then you need to provide more information. If your battery will not take a charge, then either the charger is not working or the battery needs to be replaced or both.

    Yes, yes, yes... I've gone through all the common sense trouble shoots. Would't be here asking questions if that answers existed on the net. Sorry if I sound a bit edgey, but I've had nothing but issues with every update since IOS 7. Clearly there's nothing that can be done about this. and this is the final nail in the coffin to try to make me buy an Iphone 5.

  • HT201263 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 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.

  • Transferring info. from my old iPhone 4s to iPhone 5c but now my iPhone 5c is stuck on the connect to itunes screen

    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.

    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!

  • IPhone 5 randomly shutting off and gets really really hot when it's charging

    I have had my iPhone 5 for a month now and it started randomly shutting off and it would turn on by itself hours later. When I charge it, it gets incredibly hot... it's not normal should I go to the apple store about this issue? I am starting to get really scared about this... I don't know what it's causing it. How do I fix this? HELP!

    Your phone is still under warranty, due to the battery service. Contact Apple and have them check the phone again.

  • My iPhone 5 randomly turned off and it now won't turn back on. It had around 80% battery life left. What can I do?

    I have an iPhone 5 which I got around two months ago now, it has been working perfectly but it has now suddenly stopped working. It has randomly turned off and it now will not turn back on. When I last checked it had around 80% battery life left, and I try to charge it now to see if it will have some life back in it, but nothing happens. What do you think I can do? Thank you.

    press and hold the top power button and home button on the front for 6-8 seconds until you see an apple appear, then let go.
    phone will start up now.
    **Do not do this while plugged in to computer.
