Phone won't turn on because if iTunes notification?

I recently got an updates on my settings on my iPhone so it's automatically updated and I agreed blah blah and eventually it said it needed to restart for the changes to take place, so obviously I did thinking all would be fine and now I can't access my phone at all because it keep coming up with a charger at the bottom of the screen with an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo. I've tried connecting it to iTunes and it's taken two hours and absolutely nothing and has been saying that my phone needs to be restored? which I've tried but again nothing..I updated my iTunes so it can't be that and I'm just so annoyed because I can't get onto my phone at all!!!

Hello leannemcculloch,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
Use iTunes to restore your device.
Have a nice day,
Mario

    Since iOS 7.1 my phone won't turn on and is asking me to connect to iTunes. I connect to itunes and it says it needs to be restored. Not sure why. I try to restore it and then it says something went wrong and it won't work. So I've been without my phone for a couple days now. It gives me error code (29). The phone almost reboots and then 3/4 of the way through it gives me the error message.

  • My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode

    My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode as well as the DFU? mode and it still will not work. I have the latest version of iTunes on my Mac. My error code was 2002. I also tried it on my laptop (windows 8.1) and none of the above worked. My error code on my laptop was 02. The phone is through Verizon and it has absolutely no damage. It was working fine up until this and I have been trying to fix it for 2 days. Please help! I am unsure of what version the phone was currently running on before this because I have another iphone that's my primary phone and have not used this one in about a month. I do not believe it was updated to IOS 7.

    Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

  • HT4623 just updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, now my phone won't turn back on. The apple logo comes on and sits then shuts off. I have held down the home button and on/off switch several times to reset, but same problem persists.

    Place iPhone on Wall Charger for at least 10 minutes. Then keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger. If still problem, open iTunes 10.7 on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, then click Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, try DFU Mode Restore, here are the steps. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. DFU Mode can be difficult to enter sometimes, just keep trying. DFU Mode is a black, blank screen with iTunes saying Recovery Mode. If still problem and there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

  • I updated my phone to IOS 8.2. Now my phone won't turn on. I tried to reboot but it won't reboot

    I updated my phone to IOS 8.2. Now my phone won't turn on. I tried to reboot but it won't reboot

    The first two approaches is reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.  If that does not work, then the second, and more drastic approach is to use the recover mode to connect to the computer running iTunes per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and summarized as:
    But note you will need a backup of your content as the recovery mode erases all content and settings.

  • Phone won't turn on - Xperia Z

    My phone won't turn on whatsoever. It is not unresponsive, the LEDs work, they go red when it is charging. I have looked for a solution but I can find absolutely none. I've charged it for 24 hours so it is not a matter of battery drain. When I connect it to the computer it says that "SEMC Flash Drive connected" and it plays the sound, not sure why it doesn't say Xperia Z connected. Sony PC Companion won't recognise the phone so it won't let me restore it. I've tried to put it in recovery but whenever I try to do it, the phone just vibrates and does nothing, same with turning it on, it just vibrates, does nothing and then vibrates again. Is there a way to wipe the data in it's state currently or is there a fix because right now my phone is as useful as a brick. The phone isn't stuck on the boot logo, it just won't turn on

    Try running a repair, but ensure you start the process with the phone not connected to the PC and do not connect till it prompts you to do so after the repair option is selected. What are your thoughts about this forum? Let us know by doing this short survey.

  • How can I erase the data on my 2009 macbook pro that won't turn on because of a faulty motherboard? Do I just remove the hard drive, install it in a working mac, and erase it that way?

    You put the internal drive in an enclosure. If you choose to keep the drive, you don't need to erase it.

I've used 2 different charges to try to charge it, plugging it into my computer and 2 different wall chargers. When i Plug the phone into the computer it recognizes a phone was plugged in.. if anyone can help please !!!!!

    Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

    Did an update on my apps and now my phone won't turn on. I have held doen the on/off button, I get nothing. Tried charging it and I get nothing. The phone was at 96% charge before this happened. Please help.

    Try a hard reset:
    Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears, this can take 10 seconds or more, ignore the swipe to shutdown message.
