Please help ! IPhone 4S stuck on connect to iTunes symbol, wont restore
I tried to update my iPhones IOS and when I did, it said that I needed to restore my iPhone, so I did, or I tried. When I went to restore it, it worked for a little while, then stopped and pulled up a error that says "there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone, " iPhone " . An unknown network error occurred (9006). I have searched everywhere for a solution to my problem, to find no solution. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, turning in off firewalls, virus protectors, etc.
I am very desperate to fix this problem because my iphone is a paperweight until this problem is resolved, please help me!
Thanks so much, my email is [email protected]

This usually happens if the phone has been Hacked / Jailbroken / Modified...
Sorry... But...

IPhone 2G - Stuck on Connect To iTunes/Slide for Emergency
I was going back to my original iphone 2g where I'm stuck on "Connect To iTunes/Slide for Emergency" screen.
This is not a jailbreak phone as it was working phone until I choose an upgrade and went back to orignal iphone. I was told at AT&T store I have to activate with iTunes. With latest version of iTunes, I get connection time out error[no error code] on connecting to iTunes store after activation is complete. I get an email from apple my phone is activated, but I still see Connect To iTunes... As soon as I plug-in the iPhone I get connection time out error.
Per AT&T everything provisioned as per my account and even they put the sim in a diff phone and it works. Thouhgt I could try with old version on iTunes and got atleast a stage I can see everything [Name, Capacity, Software Version and Serial Number] in ituens. This is with ituens version 9.1. But I still see Connect To iTunes... As I run diagnostics from itunes I see that orange for 'No iPhone or iPod found' under 'Ports'. Interstingly, if I take out the SIM, I can see everything [including my screenshot] and I can browse using Wi-Fi but no calls as there is no SIM. This is sixth day that I dont have working phone and still counting...
Since I dont have a back up and not sure how best I can bring my phone back online without restore. Plz help.This has been taken care by sr advisor at apple.
The problem seems to be an issue as the apple server does not know my iphone at all based on the serial number. They manually updated the s/n and sim on their servers and I dont see connect to itunes window anymore by connecting to iTunes and phone is back online without any restore.
Per my understanding I should get an email as it updates the content on the servers, but I never got one and ended up calling again after 48hrs. Then I was told you should be good, goahed and connect to iTunes, ofcourse I was also told if that does not work you have to try restoring.. scary!!
Now, I'm back on searching to upgrade my phone

IPhone 4 Stuck on 'Connect to iTunes' screen.
I.. was kinda trying to get rid of the iOS 7 update files which were automatically downloaded to my iPhones following this discussion page: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5379403?start=0&tstart=0
Following the instructions posted there, I managed to get rid of about 3GBs of the iOS 7 files out of my iPhone 5.
What I followed was nzzzzz's 'Method B'
Method B: Open Settings->General->Software Update, Click "Install Now". There will be a prompt says "Verifying update...", Wait until this prompt disappear, there will be a spinning wheel on the black background. Immediately press and hold both of the power and home buttons at the same time. DO NOT release the power and home buttons for about 10 seconds. Your device will reboot. It's done. The automatically downloaded firmware will have been deleted. Now read part 1 to prevent automatically downloading in the future.
However, when I tried it again on my iPhone 4, it's now stuck on 'Connect to iTunes' screen.
No DFU modes or recovery modes seemed to be working, so I gave up and decided to restore & upgrade to iOS 7.
Then there was another problem, iTunes 'did' recognize the device as in 'recovery mode', downloaded the 7.0.3 update file, and tried to restore the device... but it got me 'error 9134'.
I followed the instructions on forums and discussion pages, and even called the Apple Care Services for technical support... but nothing worked. Nothing.
All those 'hosts' file edit and iTunes removal(and other following services) + download/install to the latest iTunes did not work on me, and now the device is 'just stuck on Connect to iTunes' screen.
Any suggestions..?
(BTW, English is not my native language, so if there's anything that cannot be understood, tell me)
+ Thanks in advance

iPhone 4: Tried to remove the iOS 7.0.3 files on iOS 6.1.3
Windows 8. latest iTunes (Newly bought computer + latest iTunes installed on 10/26/2013)
Windows 7, iTunes v 11.0.4.4 (The computer that successfully factory-resetted my old iPhone 4S and iPhone 4. The same computer that's not working with the same iPhone 4 now.)
Plus, my iPhone 4 is not backed up... not even in iCloud I think... There are some old pictures I'd like to keep, but almost forgot to get them out since I bought 5 a few weeks ago. I was using the iPhone 4 for the TV cable with the 30-pin connector.Hi, I solved this problem on my iPad.
First I followed the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4097?viewlocale=en_US and recovered the iPad. iPad turns empty like new.
Then I followed the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414?viewlocale=en_US (Option: Restoring your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) and restored my iPad from a previous backup from iTunes.
When the backup restore was finished, many apps were missing on my iPad. I synchronized it again with iTunes (it took a while although I don't have many apps) and everything was back exactly as before.
I don't know what caused the problem in the first place, being stuck in the iTunes USB screen, but it seems to be solved now. I will anyway try to always remember to close all apps and not leave them running in background. Maybe my iPad got confused?
Regards

HT201263 iPhone 4S Stuck on 'Connect to iTunes' during 7.1.1 update
Hi, I was updating the lastest software 7.1.1 OTA, available on iPhone 4S while it was on charging, as battery was below 50%. But during in between update, the phone got stuck on 'connect to iTunes'.
Unfortunately, I dont have an PC or Mac book where I could download and connect to itune.
Is there any alternate to get this sorted. Will I loose my contacts? Photos/videos? etc?
Kind regardsHello SamuelXavier427,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
First, I'd like you to just simply reset your device by following the steps in the article below, in case you accidentally entered recovery mode.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the issue does persist, then you will need to connect your iPhone to a computer, and using iTunes restore it.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Take care,

IPHONE 4 STUCK AT CONNECT TO ITUNE SCREEN
My iPhone 4 is stuck at connect to itune screen...
If you connect the iPhone to your computer and launched iTunes and nothing happened you will need to make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. If so then you will need to troubleshoot iTunes.

Second (brand new) iPhone 4 stuck on "connect to iTunes" while trying to update.
My iphone 4 was stuck on the "Connect to iTunes" screen, and NOTHING I did fixed it. I took it to the Apple store, got a brand new iPhone 4, and it bricked again while trying to update to iOS7. Same thing... stuck on "Connect to iTunes". I'm connecting to a PC.
What else can I try??The iTunes version is 11.1.2.32, and there are no error messages. I'm trying to restore from backup eventually. But for now I can't even restore to factory settings. I've tried DFU mode, and that does not work, or at least I'm can't even be certain it's going into DFU mode.
Windows gives and audible noise to signify that a USB device is connected, so I know that somewhere beneath the surface Windows knows it is connected, but iTunes doesn't react at all, and the Windows file explorer, and even the drive manager in adminstrative tools, don't even show a volume connected. -
IPhone 4 stuck in "connect to iTunes" mode after iOs5 update. Help!
Here's what's happened:
I wanted to upgrade to iOs5 on my iPhone 4, so I booted up iTunes.
- I have added a couple new songs to my iTunes and haven't synced them in a while (probably not relevant)
- I downloaded iTunes 10.5 and then iOs5
- iTunes then said something about loss of stuff when restoring (but it doesn't matter that much)
- it took ages to install iOs5 onto my iphone and sync
- once it had done that I disconnected my iphone
- It now is in recovery mode (the "connect to iTunes" screen)
- I try connecting it to my PC again (Windows 7) and iTunes doesn't register anything there at all.
Please help!
-MrGeorge343I have had this same problem and am still struggling. I have restared computer and am doing a full restore of Iphone4 from Itunes backup
