it is telling me to plug it into iTunes and when I dont iTunes tells me to put in my passcode
That makes no sense. Are you plugging it into iTunes or not?
...phone still tells my to connect it to iTunes and even if I knew my passcode I still couldn't type it in.
If you even knew your passcode why couldn't you type it in?
Please try again: tell us the problem, what you try, and what the result is.

My phone randomly shut off. When I turned it back on it said it needed to restore, to plug it into itunes. When I did, and tried to restore it, it failed with a code 21. I have followed all the instructions, it still isn't working. Please help!

I have followed all the instructions, it still isn't working. I've uninstalled and reinstalled all that the steps told me to, I've updated everything in my computer. I don't know what else to do. My phone will just show the apple sign and the itunes plug in sign.

How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

My ipad is locked and i forgot the password. It says that I need to connect to Itunes but when I didi it it said you need to put the password on the ipad. what do I do?

Please Help!

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it.
This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

I tried updating my iPod, and ever since it has not worked at all. If I hold in the lock & home button, it will tell me to plug it into iTunes. Once I do that, it says it will restore but every time, restoring it fails. My iPod is not working at all, and I really have no idea what to do. It is just a black screen, and occasionally the white apple will appear as if it were turning on, but it won't turn on. I just need some suggestions on what to do!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT2688 Having updated to iOS7, I am unable to upload a video to shared stream but when I do, it won't play on any device other than the one used to upload ... help

Having updated to iOS7, I am unable to upload a video to shared stream but when I do, it won't play on any device other than the one used to upload ... help please

I also have this problem, as does everybody else I know who has tried to use the video in icloud. As the original poster says, they can be uploaded, but will only play on the device from which they were originally uploaded, appeaering only as images which display an endless buffering symbol when "played" on any other devices with which the photostream is shared.
Has anyone been able to get this to work? And if not, why is there no acknowledgement from Apple that this bug exists and will be addressed in an update (now running 7.0.2 and still no improvement)? It was, after all, advertised as one of the attractive new features of iOS 7. So why the stony silence?

IPad 2 problem. After updating to IOS 8.0.2 iPad says that I need to plug into iTunes. When I do that, the only option is to restore iPad to factory settings? iPad will do nothing until then. I have never had this problem before. Help

Hi ..
Follow Apple's instructions for recovery mode here > iOS: Unable to update or restore
You can restore from a backup.

i was trying to update my iphone4 and it froze on a screen telling me to plug it into itunes

did you try to put it in DFU mode. You will know if you are in it because instead of a plug into itunes screen, you will just get a black screen http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034 If dfu doesn't work you can get out of it buy holding home and power. Take it to apple or geek squad if I'm no help.

My iPhone 3GS just stopped working this morning. It tells me activation is required and that I need to plug it into itunes. When I try to plug it into itunes it doesn't register that I have anything plugged in.

My phone stopped working this morning, it tells me that activation is requires and that I need to plug it into ITunes. However when I try to plug it into my computer nothing happens, it will only show the apple symbol when I plug it into an outlet. Does anyone know what I can do to get it to plug into itunes or activate it again?

Please plug the iPhone with the original doch-connector & USB cable into a USB plug in the computer (directly into the computer) and restart iTunes. It should register. Please do not stop the registration!!! You may need to press power on iPhone.
Is the iPhone jailbroken?

In order to properly play my music on my DAC with a headless mac mini, I had to "check" the tunes in iTunes. When I did that, the songs in each album were put in not their proper order. How do I restore them to their original sequence in each album?

In order to properly play my music on my DAC using a headless Mac Mini, I had to make sure that all of the songs in "Music" were checked. To so so, I pressed the "check box." When I did that, all of the songs in each album were resequenced in not their proper order.
How do I restore the proper order of songs for each album?

In list view, select the album column. To choose which columns appear, select an item on the left side of the window (a playlist, for example), choose View > View Options, and select the information you want to see. You can also Control-click a column heading to select columns to display.
The column selected determines how tracks are displayed. For example, clicking the "Name" column displays all tracks in alphabetical order; clicking the "Album" column displays the tracks in album order; clicking the "Date Added" column displays the tracks in the order that they were imported into your library. Columns also have a disclosure arrow at the right of the column (when selected) that you can click to reverse the order.

How do I get my UDID number from my ipod if I can't plug it into itunes? Apple took it back because it was broken and gave me a new one but I have games and apps that can only be moved over with the UDID from the old pod.

How do you get the UDID number from your ipod if you don't have the ipod anymore. The apple store took it because it wasn't working so I can't plug it in to get the number. Some of my apps are associated wtih that number and I can't move them to my new Ipad without that number. Any ideas?

Hi KT. I restored my information back to November 10th and the one app that I need the info on is still empty like I just downloaded it. Do you have another suggestion? I was able to track down my serial number but can't get the UDID without plugging it in and I no longer have it. Suggestions?

Hi sgray2832,
If you are having an issue with your iPhone becoming unresponsive or turning off unexpectedly, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
