My iPhone turned off by itself and says to plug into iTunes and won't turn on. Is this something I can have fixed at te store? I don't have a computer with iTunes..
You should be able to restore the iPhone, just connect it to the computer and open iTunes.
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed and take a look at this, if you run in to a problem.

A micro USB? Is this something I can get at any electronics store or should have come with the Apple TV?
Yes, you can find it at any electronics store or online. You may even have one lying around as many devices use it.

have erased my ipod as i am selling it on. I wanted to check all my stuff (pictures, notes ect) had been erased, but everytime i plug my Ipod into the computer it isnt recognized. it says plug into Itunes, and i have. Nothing happens. what do i do? HELP

iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows -
I just recently upgraded from a 4S to a 5C. I backloaded the 5 from Itunes and now everytime i plug into itunes, it asks if I want to set up as new or restore from a previous backup. Why is it doing this. I did it twice yesterday..... In addtion, those are the only options I have. I cannot do anything else unless I choose one of the two. Zero options. Phone works fine though.
I figure that either of those options will result in losing all SMS and data created since the last backup. Not a major loss, but ** annoying when nothing has changed and the time it will take to restore.
When was the last time you synced your iPhone with iTunes since the backup is updated as the first step during the sync process?
Is there anyway to recover this WITHOUT having to do a full restore or set up as new?
In a word, no.
If I do restore or set up as new, how do I know it's not going to do the same thing tomorrow (like a few other forums threads I've read indicate might happen)?
There is no way to know for certain but I've never experienced the same in the first place. I venture to say having to do this is the exception rather than the rule. -
Have iphone 3g with 5.0 I downloaded 5.01 for phone and itunes latest download. Had errors on download and needed to restore. Everything came back except apps.
Pluged into itunes and it gave me the restore screen. restored again. Now when i plug into itunes it shows my phone but freezes up. I need to use task master to close itunes. Went to apple store tech. No help said to use Icloud but no WiFi is available. My wife's phone works fine with itunes.Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
If you have gone through ALL the above steps and are still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation. -
I tried to update to ios7 but it said to plug into itunes. I've plugged it in several times but the update fails everytime and my phone continues to say plug into itunes. Any help is greatly appreciated
Your iPhone was hacked at a "small phone unlocking shop "
Only the carrier who locked the iPhone from new can unlock it no-one else
Anything else is hacking which forfeits any help from Apple and this forum
I also doubt that Orange will touch it
For an understanding what hacking does see here

Since all the UK carriers ( I assume you are in the UK )

just updated my iphone 6 and my phone says plug into itunes. I can not do anything with it. I dont have itunes on my computer.
You are going to have to download and install iTunes on the computer. Your iPhone is in recovery mode. See this support document for help with that. If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

When i tried updating my iphone 4 to the latest IOS version 7.1.1 it was updating until the end of the update where it had an icon which said connect to itunes. When i try connecting to itunes on my laptop it still doesnt program, by the way my itunes has the latest updae. Why is this? How can i fix it?
Hey there Raymondd2014,
It sounds like you had been updating the phone and now it is in recovery mode. Take a look at this info first:
If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
If you are unable to get out of Recovery Mode, use the following article to restore your device with iTunes:

If you don't see your device in iTunes follow these steps for Windows.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Iphone 4 won't turn on keeps saying plug into itunes when it's on itunes
Phone randomly shut off and won't turn back on. I keep plugging it into itunes to restore it and it tells me an unknown error occurred
I could see this happening if your battery is not charged enough for your iPhone to turn on. I would suggest letting your phone charge for several hours without usage. If the problem still persists, you should try restarting your phone or hard powering down (holding down power button and home button for several seconds simultaneously). If your phone still won't turn on properly after this, the next step would be to reset your settings or restore to default factory mode, keep in mind this will wipe ALL of your data, and you may need to reactivate your phone with your service provider. The final step, should all else fail, would be to bring your device into an Apple store to have it checked and repaired for you. My best guess would be a faulty battery, or possibly a virus installed on your phone. I hope you can get this issue solved on your own quickly, however, should it come to it, Apples repair section has a great reputation.
Best of luck! -

Hello.
I recently woke up this morning to use my iPod Touch (2nd Gen) to find that it was completely unresponsive to both buttons and would not turn on. I had been using it the night before and had not charged it. Thinking the battery was drained, I plugged it into a wall outlet for two hours, and still no sign of life on the iPod. Plugging it into the computer, it immediately showed up in iTunes and synced normally, and even indicated it had nearly a full charge. Still, however, the screen showed nothing. I checked the lock and home buttons to see if it was stuck, but it was not. Does anyone have an idea of what this is? Do I need to get my iPod repaired? Any help would be appreciated.
I am running iOS 4.1, and am out of warranty coverage.
Thanks,
- Justin1; Do a hard rest by holding the buttons at least 15 seconds. Does the Apple logo come on?
2. Hold the power button down for at least 5 seconds. Do you see the battery symbol?
If the answer is no to both questions, you most likely have a hardware issue--possible bad battery.
