My iphone is frozen since I tried upgrading on itunes

my iphone is frozen on a screen with an apple and a bar under it since I tried to upgrade with itunes. How do i get it to work again?

Put your iPhone into the recovery mode and try to update it again, to do so follow these steps:
Step One
Open iTunes and connect the iPhone to your Mac.
Step Two
Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.
Step Three
As soon as the screen goes black release the Sleep/Wake button. Continue holding the home button until you iTunes pops up a message telling you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.
The iPhone will look like this:

  • IPhone 3G frozen when I tried to upgrade to 3.1.2

    This is not the first time my iPhone 3G gets frozen and unresponsive when upgrading.
    Two months ago, when I bought it second-hand, I’ve tried to upgrade from 3.0.1 to 3.1 and it was a nightmare that lasted for days...
    Eventually I succeeded, after countless attempts using three different computers.
    After I finally got to upgrade the phone worked really fine until now, when I was dumb enough to try upgrading to 3.1.2.
    Now the phone is frozen and unresponsive, stuck on that black screen with the iTunes logo and the USB cable picture.
    Here’s what I get every time:
    “the iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (13)”.
    I’ve already read and tried the following, without success:

  • TS1538 Iphone 3GS not working after IOS6 upgrade. Itunes not recognising Iphone anymore

    When I plugged my 3GS into Itunes I was advised of IOS6 upgrade, I clicked and done said,  the upgrade comenced. Hiowever, after a short while I got an error message saying "an unknown arror has accured" my Iphone will now only show the usb to Itunes screen indicating I need to do a restore. However, my phone is no longer recognised by Itunes or my PC. I've tried all the usual to reset the phone but no good. Is there a way to completely reset it back to factory default without using Itunes?

    Did you get an error message when upgrading? If so, what was it?
    Please also say what you mean by "not working". Is it displaying an error? Is it not connecting to a network? Does it connect to WiFi but not a data network? Was it hacked or jailbroken before updating?

  • HT4993 My iphone is frozen on a screen that says Itunes with a pic of a charger.  This was after i accepted the system update...what do i do

    My Iphone 4 is frozen.  It told me I had a system update.  When i clicked on the system update it froze on a screen with an ITunes circle and a picture of a phone charger.  I've tried turning it off and on, I tried to reset it, Sprint has tried to reset it. What do I do

    The device sounds as if it is recovery mode. Check the instructions in this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Iphone 3gs is unrecoverable.  Trying to sync itunes with 3g

    my iphone 3gs with the most recent os (as of 8/24/11) stopped working and wasn't recoverable.  I bought a 3g and when I try to restore it and then sync with my old settings in itunes, I get this message
    "To restore this iPhone from this backup, you must first set up the iPhone as new and restore the software to the latest version."
    It seems as though the profile I saved on itunes for  my 3gs is a newer os and therefore the 3g can't accept it.  Is there a way around this so that I can have my old sync back?
    Thanks

    Two mistakes.
    1) You don't need to re-install your operating system.  I haven't re-installed mine since 2006 (9 years) and my computer works fine.
    2) You deleted the iTunes library.  A phone will sync with the library to which it was last synced or will have to be erased.  You no longer have that library unless you have a backup copy and will have to erase the phone. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new library you transfer the library or content from an old computer or a backup directly to the new library, not the device to the library. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Tried upgrading to itunes 9 not enough space

    Now itunes can't even open, how do I go back to a previous version of itunes? Maybe this is a sign to stop downloading from itunes because I am so sick of the frustration with it and having to upgrade every 2 weeks. Can't open it now so I'm done with the itunes store!!!

    I also have this issue. It's one I've had over and over again over the years on both my original iPhone and my iPhone 3G-S.
    It's infuriating and until I have an update, there isn't anything I can seem to do about it.

  • Since i cant upgrade my itunes

    do u think it iwll up grade with the disc i get with my new ipod, im gettin the new movie one, will that get me itunes 6.0 or will it still not give me or let me upgrade

    Can you not see the blue button to download v6 over the internet? It's usually something with security or antivirus.
    But yes, the new iPod movie should have a v6 disk. That's a guess. I don't work for Apple.

  • My Iphone is frozen and it says connect to itunes but it will not reconnect it says it is already updated

    please help me I am on a deadline this morning and need to be on my way out of town by 10 this am and cannot leave without this phone working

    Try resetting it: hold the on/off and home buttons 10-20 seconds until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the off slider that appears first, release and wait for it to restart.  If that doesn't work, you'll probably have to put it in recovery mode and restore it from your most recent backup as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.

  • I have one iPhone 8GB. after making upgrade of iTunes and software of iPhone, it's impossible to use the iPhone. There's no service! doesn't acept the code PIN! it only make emergency calls and the image in the phone is to conect to iTunes.What can i do?

    I have one iPhone 8GB. After making un upgrade of iTunes and software of iPhone, it's impossible to use it. There's no service! doesn't acept PIN code! it only makes emergency calls and the image in the iPhone is the sign to connect to iTunes. What can i do to solve it?

    Where are you and where did you get the phone.  This sounds like a classic symptom of someone who bought an iPhone that originated in the U.S. which was then hacked so it would run on a carrier network other than AT&T... Then, when updating the phone, it becare re-locked to AT&T.
    If that's what happened, you now own a paperweight. AT&T will NOT unlock them for any reason.
    If this isn't the case, please clarify where you are, what carrier you have and where you got the phone so we can begin troubleshooting.

  • Muffled scratchy playback since upgrade of itunes on windows xp

    Ever since the previous upgrade of itunes, before the 10.4, any new cd I try to import plays back quiet, scratchy and muffled, so pretty useless!
    All the other songs that are in the liabry play back fine, but anything new I try to import, just won't play back.
    I've changed every setting I can think of, and I even thought about uninstalling itunes, and having a go from sctatch, but then I think if I can't import anything now, I'll have no chance after an re-install.  I've got Windows xp, service pack 2, so I know all thats ok.
    Has anyone had this problem, and if so, please help, as I'm at my wits end, and I need to update my ipod!!!!!
    Thanks!

    Scratch that, I've fixed it.... just changed the import to a different speed..... not sure why I have had to do it, must be something to do with the new version of Itunes!
