My phone screen stuck on connect to itunes with usb logo

Finally i thought by now all you over paid geniuses at apple would have made the update smooth. I tried to upgrade to 3.1 and the phone went to stuck mode. I can't use it for anything now? what do I need to do now to get it back to working condition?

First I understand your frustration I have had a butt load of problems with my phone ok now plug into iTunes and hold the power button and the home button down at the same time till iTunes says that it has found a phone in restore mode follow the on screen prompts to restore your phone I had this same problem and that worked for me they had an emergency meeting a week ago about thease problems hopefully a fix is coming soon I don't think that they want to lose their #1 phone status I know how you feel I pucker every time I go to sync my phone I hope this helps you.

  • While updating the software from 6.1.3 to 6.1.4 on iPhone 5, the power failed. iTunes had just finished the backup and was beginning the software update. Now the phone screen says to connect to iTunes but the phone is not recognised when plugged in.

    While updating the iPhone 5 software from 6.1.3 to 6.1.4, the power failed. iTunes had just finished the backup and was beginning the software update. Now the phone screen says to connect to iTunes but the phone is not recognised when plugged in. Using Windows 7 and phone not recognised by computer, let alone by iTunes.
    Any suggestions? Happy to take it off to the the Apple genius people but would prefer to get it running myself.

    Hey vsu16,
    Does iTunes recognize your iPhone at all? It sounds like this is the image you're seeing on your screen to connect your phone to iTunes:
    If that looks right, you'll want to follow along with the steps in here;
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If you see the Connect to iTunes screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, follow these troubleshooting steps if you're using a Mac, or these steps for Windows computers.

  • Ipod screen stuck on connect to itunes

    i got a new laptop the other day and i downloaded itunes, and then connected my ipod. after connecting my ipod it prompted me to update my ipod software. it crashed in the middle of doing so and ever since then it's been stuck on a screen showing a connect to itunes pic. I was on the phone with apple support for over an hour and I was just told to do the same thing over and over again, hold the home button and then connect it to I tunes etc etc but nothing works. the ipod won't even give me the option to turn it off so I can't really take it out of recovery mode. I even let the ipod die and then I charged it and it was still like that when it turned on. I have tried taking it out of recovery mode, and even tried the dfu mode (I think it's called). OH and when I plug it into my laptop it makes a sound like it knows something is plugged in but iTunes can't find it. The apple support lady said I will probably have to pay 150 to get it fixed but I don't understand how that's it right or fair when it wasnt even my fault it broke. the whole reason it's messed up is because it crashed in the middle of an update. I really dont have the money to get it fixed and I just want it to work again.

    - Try the same things with a new cable
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - try on another computer
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • 3GS phone is stuck on "connect to iTunes" graphic, iTunes doesn't recognize it

    During IOS 5 upgade process, after iTunes performed backup and wipe, screen went to "connect to iTunes" graphic, however, iTunes will not recognize it.  I can't perform a restore until I can get iTunes to recognize it.  Can someone give me detailed directions, please?  I have tried various steps directed by Apple on Apple Support page to no avail.  As suggested by others, I have done the "hold buttons down" trick to no avail.  I have removed all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes 10.5 multiple times to no avail.  I have tried different cables.  I have tried different ports. I have created different windows users on laptop.  I have tried to restore drivers but it says that no drivers exist.  I am running my computer with no add-ons and with nothing loading on initial startup.  I have disabled all security software and settings.  I have spent hours on here and on various websites through internet searches, reading various posts/threads and have tried everything I have seen suggested.  I have no Apple Store within 200 miles of me.  I'm at my wit's end with this.  Fwiw, I purchased an iPad 2 approx. 3-months ago and have never been able to get iTunes to recognize it.  Highly discouraged with these products to say the least.  If anyone has any suggestions other than what I've already mentioned above, please let me know.  Thanks in advance.
    computer: windows xp; sp3
    iphone: 3GS
    iTunes: 10.5

    Thanks, but yes I've tried that.  That was what I was referring to above when I said I tried the "hold the buttons down" trick.  I appreciate your response.
    Additional info:  My computer recognizes it; computer makes a "chime" noise when I plug and unplug it from the USB port.

  • My touch shows the connect to itunes with usb on screen however when i try to do so it says it cannot connect because it is locked with a passcode. It will not let me enter the code on the ipod or computer. so i cant do anything. Any ideas?

    I have tried rebooting it. nothing seems to help. it always ends up with the same screen a picture prompting me to hook up via usb to itunes.Then without fail i get an error message. itunes connpt connect to the ipod touch because it is locked with a passcode. you need to enter the passcode on the ipod touch first. unfortunately the touch will not show any other screen but the connect to itunes.

    Connect the iPod touch to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restore it to factory setting.  See this article for instructions on getting your device into Recovery Mode.

  • Phone is stuck on connect to itunes screen

    For some reason today my phone is stuck on the connect to iPhone screen. I've held down the home and off/on button and it'll go to the apple logo screen and then back to the itunes screen. Its the original iPhone. I've tried to connect to iTunes and it says its in recovery mode and my option is to restore. I really don't want to do that. Please help.
    Liz

    If it's offering you recovery mode then it sounds like the OS firmware has been corrupted, when was the last time you had a successful sync to iTunes?
    if its quite recently then doing a recovery restore won't loose much data on you.

  • My phone is stuck on "connect to itunes" phase and it wont do anything!

    My phone is stuck on the "connect to iphone" picture. I have the Silver iPhone 5s. It is 16 GB. I have sprint service. iOS 7.1.1 I am trying to update to iOS 7.1.2. I have tried all of Apples "tactics" to find out how to fix it. I happened when I was trying to restore my phone.

    Try on another computer with another USB cable.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • 4G touch - screen stuck at 'connect to itunes'

    Hi guys,
    just got a 4G ipod touch, connected it to itunes, upgraded software to todays version, the ipod has rebooted and now wont progress past the screen telling me to connect it to itunes. Any thoughts ?
    Cheers, and happy Christmas!

    Hey guys...there are several threads on this topic, as a lot of folks have given and gotten new Touches.....you need to have the most current version of iTunes before you get past the iTunes screen, and in order to install the latest version of iTunes, your computer must be up to spec. In my case, I have an approximately 2 year old iMac that still has its original OS, so I'm going to have to breakdown and get the Apple Box Set to upgrade the OS, which will in turn allow me to install the new iTunes, and so on.
    As an alternative, you may be able to connect to a Windows PC, as I ended up doing with my iPad. What that does, of course, is then preclude you from "reassociating" with the computer you originally wanted to, unless you are ok with having the content that's on it wiped out(no big deal since you can just reload it)
    Good luck!

  • HT201263 I did all these steps and my phone is still not responding. It is stuck on connect to itunes screen.

    My phone is stuck in "connect to itunes" screen and will not budge. I did the recovery thing and it still will not change. PLease  help.

    Hello Melanie229,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    Based on what you are describing I would next connect the phone to the wall charger that it came with, and reset it.
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Then try the restore again.
    All the very best,
    Sterling
