Stuck at itunes/usb logo, help!!!

no longer an at&t customer but iphone asks for a sim card for the restoring process to be finished, so now im stuck at itunes/usb logo with a "no sim card installed" note, any help?

The iPhone 3G requires a SIM card in place when restoring.  If what you want to do is use the phone as an iPod Touch, you need to insert the deactated SIM last used with the phone.

  • Iphone stuck on Itunes/USB

    Hi,  I just tried to update my Iphone 4.  Seemed to sync okay and back up the phone.  But now my phone is stuck on the Itunes logo with a USB showing. Here is what I have tried:
    1. following the support instructions
    2. Iphone is not seen by my computer or Itunes
    3.  Stop/Start Apple mobile device
    4 uninstall then reinstall Itunes
    5.  Iphone will not reboot when I hold down home/off button.  Apple logo comes up briefly and then it goes back to Itunes/usb logo
    This is my only phone and, well, I am kinda desperate(caregiver and concerned about someone being able to reach me for emergencies)
    If anyone has any insight, I would appreciate the help.  Otherwise - guess it is Apple or AT&T tomorrow:)

    Tried tha age old fix of using a different cord and USB slot on the computer and that got things restarted and working.  SHeesh.

    Looks like a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...

  • Stuck at iTunes+USB Connector Screen on iTouch... Please help!!

    Today, Jan. 30th, I tried to download the most recent update for my 1st gen iTouch (2.2.1) and disconnected my iTouch during the process because the update was apparently not working because the iTunes+USB Connector screen was showing, so I tried to reconnect it. The iTunes+USB Connector screen remains frozen on there and it will not go away. I try plugging the iTouch into my computer (Windows) and both my computer and iTunes do not recognize it, or even show that it is connected. I have tried the whole hold down the Sleep/Off Button and Home button method but that does not work. Holding down the Sleep Button does not prompt me to slide it off, it just turns off by itself. I have tried plugging it into my wall-charger, still no luck. And I cannot restore it because iTunes does not pick it up. There are many people, such as myself, who have this same problem and every single response I have seen has said to restart/restore the iPod, and every single time the poster replies that that method failed. Someone.. please help!!

    I am having the same problem, and so far it is very frustrating because the only almost viable solution I've found, letting the battery run down and then restoring, doesn't work because the ipod turns itself off after a little while instead of going into sleep mode and using up the battery over a couple days. If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know. I really would rather not have to send it into apple, but I can't think of any other way.

  • Error updating 4S to 5.1.1 stuck at Itunes-USB screen. Please help !

    Hey there. I was about to update my iPhone 4S to 5.1.1. It downloaded (i updated itunes and restarted the pc in the meanwhile, if this matters), yet when it was updating, an error occured. I, of course, have no clue what the number was, only that it was over a thousand, and it contained nr six. Now, my phone is stuck at the iTunes-USB screen. Neither iTunes nor my PC recognize my iPhone anymore.

    If the error encountered was something like 0x000000e/f, you might have to try this link.

    It sounds like you were almost there - but you need to continue holding the Home button until iTunes tells you that it has detected an iPod in recovery mode.

  • HT201210 I Phone 5 screen stuck on ITunes/USB Cable Pic while sync/download.

    I recently was attempting to Sync and Download IPhone 5 from ITunes. The cord was disconnected too soon, and now phone screen is frozen with the ITunes and USB Cable picture. When reconnected to ITunes, I am being forced to Restore (only option provided). I do not want to restore and lose datat and pictures. It has been several months since the last download and don't want to lose. I have powered off while holding down Home Button, have also removed and replaced the SIM Card. No changes..Suggestions please?

    Anything that was on the phone that wasn't backed up is already gone. You have no choice but to restore.

  • Iphone Stuck on USB Plug-- Itunes icon. Help!

    I need help. My Iphone is stuck on the USB Plug-->Itunes icon, i can turn it off, but when i turn it back on it shows the apple logo, and then goes straight to the plug in to iTunes icon. This happened after i set to install the newest updated software for my iPhone, i left my computer for a few hours, figuring iTunes would automatically download and install it properly, and i come back and its stuck at the above^^.
    I tried DFU mode and it doesn't seem to do anything, and i have the latest version of iTunes.
    Any help appreciated!

    Hi,
    Please note: DFU mode is different than recovery mode. DFU is an even deep-level boot mode, no OS or any visual thing is loaded, so your device's screen will be black. It's not easy to guess whether it is in DFU mode or is it turned off. But don't worry. Just follow the steps I provided below and iTunes would do the rest
    To enter DFU mode:
    1) Connect your iPhone to your computer.
    2) Turn iPhone off.
    3) Hold power and home together for 10 seconds (exactly).
    4) Release power but keep holding home until iTunes detect your iPhone
    5) Once iTunes detected your phone, it will display the following alert:
    "iTunes has detected a phone in recovery or DFU mode and it needs to be restored."
    6) Now, just click OK and restore your phone.
    PS. I'm not sure why did your phone get into Recovery Mode (the "Connect to iTunes" warning) but DFU should help.
    PSS. don't leave your phone alone while you are upgrading the firmware. Just to make sure everyting is all right
