My iphone is disabled, it says plug into itunes, but it says to type in the passcode.. how do i fix this?

I cant plug it into my itunes because my laptop is being fixed.. but even if when it comes back all the data will be lost so if I restore my iphone everything will be lost because I have no backed it up with icloud. I need a way of fixing it without losing the data in my phone.. if there is one.

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons..

I tried to update to ios7 and now my iPhone 5 wants me to plug into iTunes, but I don't have a computer. What do I do?

I tried to update my iPhone 5 to iOS7.2 and now it wants me to plug it into a computer. I do not have a computer, so I obviously can't plug it in. I don't know how to fix this.

If you have the 'connect to iTunes' screen then it will need to be connected to a computer's iTunes - do you know a friend or family member who has a computer with iTunes installed that they would let you use, or you could potentially go to an Apple Store and see if they can do it (though preferably make a Genius bar appointment, don't just turn up at a busy time)

Try restoring from the backup created at the beginning of the sync process:
Without connecting your phone, open iTunes, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
Connect your phone, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears on the left sidebar in iTunes
Select Restore from backup, choosing your most recent backup to restore from
Disconnect your phone and confirm that your photos are back
Go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

I'm experiencing the same issue, if I restore the devise, won't I lose everything? -- I'm hoping there's another alternative to losing everything from one day to the next :-/
Thanks in advance for your support :-)

It is a Macbook Pro, right, not a MacPro?

My ipad is flat and when I plug it in to charge it just repeatedly turns on and then turns off but isn't charging. I tried to plug into itunes but it just goes through the same ritual and can't maintain connection to itunes. What should I do ?

My ipad is flat and when I plug it in to charge it just repeatedly turns on and then turns off but isn't charging. I tried to plug into itunes but it just goes through the same ritual and can't maintain connection to itunes. What should I do ?

1. Reset iPad
2. Try another wall socket
3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
5. Clean Lightning port with compress air or new paint brush

I noticed after I did the 5.1 update to my iPhone 4S it now says I'm on the 4G network... will this upgrade put all iPhones on the 4G network?

Depending on what source you read there are no 4G networks anywhere in the world (the definition is 100 Mbps or better). However, that doesn't stop carriers from calling somewhat more advanced networks from claiming they are "4G". Thus, Verizon calls their LTE network 4G. At 7-15 Mbps it's certainly better than their lame EVDO, but it isn't true 4G. AT&T calls their HSPA+ 4G, and I have seen up to 7 Mbps on my 4S, which makes it faster than their 1.5-2Mbps HSDPA. But it isn't LTE (which AT&T is deploying also and isn't compatible with the iPhone). So the short answer is that it's just market positioning.

All it shows is to plug into itunes but when i plug it into my computer it doesnt show up?

i was able to restore it but now all it shows is to plug into itunes but when i plug it into my computer it doesnt show up? and it doesnt come up under my computer as a hard drive either.

Try again to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
If still not recognized in iTunes, try the tips mentioned in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
