Phone frozen on plug into itunes screen after trying to update

I have an iphone 5 and I just updated my itunes to update my phone for iOS7. There was a message that said it could'nt update and then my phone became frozen on the screen that tells me to plug into itunes. I am plugged into itunes but my computer/phone is not recognizing that and I can't get off of that screen. I have tried to turn off my phone and back on, unplug it and plug it back in and nothing. what do I do?

I had the same problem after updating...I thought that was my phone's problem, so I restored it...unfortunately, i had forgotton my password...I need that password to restore my iphone back up.
Any idea how to recover this password.... Thanks much

  • IPhone 4: My IPhone keeps in the "plug-into-iTunes-screen" after trying to update to iOS 5.0. The phone is not showing up as a device in iTunes anymore.

    My IPhone doesn't turn on and keeps in the "plug-into-Tunes-screen" after update to new IOs 5.0 yesterday. I also tried to restore it, but it still keeps in the plugin mode. In ITunes the IPhone doesn't show up as a device anymore, but Windows 7 detects it as a camera. I started the problem diagnose via ITunes and it says "iPhone can't be found".I'm using the new version of iTunes.
    Can anyone help me?

    I have the exact same problem and have just logged on here to see if anyone can help also?  My iphone is up and working but itunes won't recognise it as a device... just updated itunes aswell.
    Any help would be hugely appreciated!!

  • Iphone 3GS 32gb stuck on plug into itunes screen after trying to update OS

    I installed itunes on my new computer.  When I plugged in my iphone to sync, itunes identified my phone and offered an OS update.  I followed the steps to update and began the process, shortly after there was an error message and now I my phone is paralyzed with the "plug into itunes image".  I tried re-plugging the phone into itunes but it will no longer show up.  Any ideas?

  • Tried to upgrade my iPhone 4 to 5.1 and now it is  stuck in "plug into itunes mode" after trying to update to iOs 5.1 and receiving error (1).

    Tried to upgrade my iPhone 4 to 5.1 and now it is  stuck in "plug into itunes mode" but will not recover when I plug it in. It is coming up as "unkown error (1)". Is there anything I can do?
    Also, is there any way to recover pictures I have not yet backed up? They should be on iTunes, but do not show up when I plug the phone in or otherwise.
    Is there any hope in saving this phone or is my best bet contacting Verizon or Apple to overnight me a new one?

    From iPhoneWiki:
    Try changing the USB port (the back one of chassis is better) and restart computer.
    The installed version of iTunes may also be too old. Update iTunes.
    Also put your iPhone in DFU mode when doing the above and restore. It's a software error.

  • Iphone 3gs stuck on plug into itunes screen after trying to restore get error 1015

    i have a iphone 3gs 8gb that was jb and unlocked by the previous now the phone froze and its stuck and i tried the hard reset and now its stuck on the connect to itunes screen how can i fix it?

    Manny,
    You will need to get help for your problem on another forum.  By jailbreaking your phone, you've voided your warranty and eliminated the ability to get help from Apple or from any of Apple's forums, including this one.
    Terms of Use of this forum prohibit the discussion of jailbroken phones.  You will need to search elsewhere for assistance; know that there is a strong liklihood that you will never get your phone working again.  Hope the jb was worth it.
    Good luck.

  • Phone stuck at "Plug Into iTunes screen" but it is not frozen.

    I'm using windows 8.1. My iTunes can successfully sync and detect my ipad air but after updating my ipod touch 4th gen this afternoon, it is stuck at the "Plug into iTunes" screen you have when you first get such a device. When I plug it into my computer, the "USB Plug-in" sound is heard and the Apple Mobile Device Driver detects it in Device manager, but the Ipod does not appear in My Computer or iTunes and remains stuck on the "Plug into to iTunes" screen

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • Had an iPhone 4 updating the OS when it was interrupted by the computer going to sleep and now is frozen on "plug into iTunes" screen.  Home/Power button combo will not reset, iTunes does not acknowledge the phone is plugged in.

    I recently upgraded to the 5s, so I delegated my old iPhone 4 to a music player/daughter checking instagram and email.  Three days ago I plugged the iPhone 4 into iTunes to update it, the OS began updating.  During the update my computer went into sleep mode, interrupting the OS update.  Now the phone will not do anything but show the screen with the graphic indicating to plug the phone into iTunes.  I've tried a hard reset (holding down power button/home button), plugging the phone into iTunes before/during holding down the home button, holding down the buttons for various lengths of time in various permutations according to info I've found online, etc, and nothing happens beyond a brief showing of the Apple logo and then back to the same screen.  iTunes will make a connection noise when the phone is plugged in but otherwise makes no indication that a device is plugged in (no iPhone button in the tool bar, etc.).  Any ideas or do I need to take it to an actual Apple store and hope they don't tell me it is completely bricked?

    Yep, done all that.  Repeatly.  Don't get any sort of recovery mode message or the phone showing up on iTunes at all.  iTunes is most current version, all diagnostics show everything fine, and it works fine with my current phone.  Just....nothing.

  • HT201263 My iPhone 4 is stuck on the "Connect to iTunes screen" after trying to update to iOS 7.0.4! Help!

    I was attempting to update my iPhone 4 to the new iOS 7.0.4 via my computer after I plugged it in to create a backup copy and something went wrong before it could finish and I recieved an error message. Now my phone is stuck on the "Connect to iTunes screen". I've tried everything to reset & restore my phone with no luck!
    I have:
    -Restarted my computer
    -Updated iTunes to most current version
    -Turned phone on and off several times, waiting up to a half hour before turning on (to be greeted directly with apple logo then the connect to iTunes screen)
    -Turned on, turned on and held home button (nothing happens)
    -My computer is NOT recognizing my device at ALL! But when I plugged my boyfriends iPhone in, it detected it no problem.
    I tried calling my phone from the other phone and it goes straight to voicemail. I am super frustrated! Does anybody know what is going on?

    I was able to restore my phone!!!
    I called Apple and they said there was nothing more I could do. I called my carrier Verizon and was able to get my computer to recognize my device after trying this-
    Solution:
    After trying EVERYTHING this is the ONLY thing that worked-
    I took the USB connector cable out of the USB port it was in, and tried another one on the otherside of my laptop and iTunes was able to discover my phone in recovery mode. My phone was reset and everything is fine ( thank gosh for backup copies!)

  • My iPad 2 is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen after trying software update

    I was updating my software on my iPad 2.  Now it is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen. Help!

    That is telling you to connect to iTunes on your computer because now you need to restore the device. Something went wrong when you updated. So connect you iPad to your computer's iTunes and restore.

  • Stuck on "connect to itunes" screen after trying to update

    Update was interupted because of "unknown error"
    Now my Ipad is stuck on "Connect to Ituns"
    Have tried to reset by holding both buttons for a long time but still only returns to Connect to Itunes sceen.
    Itunes does not recognize the ipad.
    Anyone any ideas exept for turning it in for service

    Makes sure you disable any antivirus or software firewall on your desktop. They can get in the way of the update, causing this problem.
    Have you actually got the update downloaded yet? If not, it might be helpful to download and install separately

    A Restore first downloads a new copy of iOS to your computer. On a slow Internet connection this can take a long time. How fast is your connection? How long would you expect it to take to download 900 MB?
    That's assuming nothing is interfering with the download. Some firewalls and antivirus programs will block the download or slow it down. So you should temporarily disable your security software. Security software can also block the update after the iOS download is complete.

    4. reconnecting iPhone to iTunes with different USB ports/cables.
    After doing all of these things, iPhone is still unrecognized on the iTunes (yes it is updated), and the phone remains on the same screen. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

  • IPhone is stuck on plug into iTunes screen

    I plugged in my phone to iTunes last night so that I could update it over night, but when I got up this morning it was on the plug into itunes screen. My phone has been stuck of the plug iTunes screen for a couple hours now. I tried turning it off and back on again, but every time i do that it returns back to the "plug into itunes" screen. I have tried plugging it into iTunes atleast 10 times, and nothing happens on itunes. It doesn't show that there is a device being connected. I don't want to lose all my data because I haven't backed it up yet... If any has any way of fixing this please let me know, I really need it to work. Thanks.

    OK so I went to the Apple store and he managed to restart my iPhone by putting it into "recovery mode". I just Googled how to do this as I wasn't there when he did it..
    Disconnect the USB cable from your iPhone, but leave the other side connected to your Mac or PC
    Launch iTunes
    Press and hold down the Home and Sleep/Power button on the top of the iPhone to turn off the iPhone
    Press and continue to hold the Home Button while you reconnect the USB cable to your iPhone, this will cause the iPhone to turn on
    Continue to hold the Home button until an alert message in iTunes informing you that an iPhone in recovery mode has been detected, like the screenshot below:
    Your iPhone is now in recovery mode. If you have not launched iTunes, you will see the familiar screen of the USB cable pointing at the iTunes logo signaling to connect the iPhone to iTunes to start recovery.
    Once you’re in recovery mode, you can either restore the iPhone or adjust the firmware as necessary.
    After restoring or upgrading firmware, your iPhone will automatically reboot and exit recovery mode on it’s own.
    It seems you will also need a wifi connection to complete the recovery mode.
    TIP: If you have backed up your iPhone, click the "restore from iTunes back up" (last option) so when you plug it back in, it will restore from your back up instead of restoreing it to the original factory setttings.
    NOTE: The above was really hard for me to get working so good luck! I tried a number of times and didn't get any message in iTunes but got my iPhone into what i assume is the "recovery mode". I'm still trying to get access a wi-fi connection to see if this will work but I will post another update once I can give it a go!
    Good Luck! And let me know if anyone successful!
