TS1538 Why is my iPod showing a usb cord with an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo? IT WONT WORK. I've tried turning it on and off, pressed the home and power button at the same time, unplugged it and put it back in, waited 5-6 months to try it again.
Can anyone PLEASE help me!!? I didn't realize that would be my title so, bear with me hear and read the title!!^^
The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. What happens when you do that?

i started to update my iphone 4, and in the middle of the update, an icon popped up saying that "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. you must restore this iPhone before it can be sued with iTunes."
I really cannot lose the data on my phone. i foolishly did not back up everything ecause there was a previous problem i had with icloud and i needed to delete all of my icloud accounts accept for my contacts.
WHat would i lose if i restored it? and do i need to restore it?
is there another way? if there is, i definetely do not need the update. someone please help me.First, in iTunes, launch Preferences and go to the Devices tab. Check the date and time of the last backup. If it is recent you can restore it. However, if you mean you have the photos back in your Camera Roll then the backup was already restored. To get your music and apps back it should just be necessary to click "Sync".

I was attempting to update iphone 4s today, laptop went flat during the last stages. The iphone now only displays USB cord, with an arrow pointing towards iTunes emblem. iTunes will not accept/read the iphone. HELP??
If you have the latest version of iTunes you should not have to download the ipsw file separately as jalp suggests. iTunes will download it automatically.
This error (9) most often means that your antivirus or firewall (or router) is blocking access to Apple's servers. In rare instances it can also mean that the phone was hacked (or "jailbroken") to unlock it. If this is the case you must do a DFU restore, not Recovery Mode, as follows:
Reboot your computer
Disable your antivirus and firewall. If you has Kaspersky you may actually have to uninstall it, as it can never be turned completely off.
Connect the USB cable to a USB port directly on your computer, not to a hub. DO NOT connect the other end to the phone
Disconnect all USB devices except for mouse, keyboard and iPhone cable.
Launch iTunes
On the phone hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time for EXACTLY 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP button but continue holding the HOME button. The screen should be black. If it has an Apple logo this means you held both buttons too long. Release the HOME button and do it again.
While holding the HOME button connect the free end of the cable to the phone.
After a short while iTunes should recognize a phone in "recovery mode" (iTunes doesn't know the difference between DFU and Recovery modes, but the phone does)
Release the HOME button and don't touch the phone or the computer until the process completes or you get an error message. Ignore any displays on the phone.
If the error recurs the phone was probably messed up when it was hacked. This is not a hardware problem, or if it is, it isn't one you can fix.
You can try repeating these steps with a different computer and a different cable. If that fails also the phone is probably not repairable. -
I attempted to update to latest version of IOS. Now all I get on the display is a graphic of the power cord with an arrow pointing to an iTunes icon. Ipad does not seem to power down or power up correctly. Home button is not responding.
I am new to this, could you provide me with a little more detail on how to do this? Thanks so much!

I recently did an update and now my iPad is stuck showing the cord with an arrow pointing to the iTunes icon. It won't let me clear this screen. What do I do to fix it?
Well, that illustration is suggesting you plug your iPad into iTunes (current version: 11.0.2).
Have you tried that? -

I installed the latest update to my iphone 4 and now all I have is a display of the white usb cord with arrow pointing to ITunes with a clue circle with the musical note in it displayed. I can't access my phone at all. I tried calling it and it says unavailable. I don't know how to restore it...it says it is in recovery mode but when I try to recover, it says no iphone found.
I have no idea how what to do to restore my phone. It's fully charged.
GRRRRPut the device in DFU mode (Google it) and restore.

what procedures do I need to follow to get my phone up and running? I had a similar experience last year with my iPad 2 and had to reload everything, except I wasn't doing an upgrade at the time. When I plug my 4s into my charger the screen shows the connector and iTunes logo. I have tried to reboot several times without success.
Correct. Everything is already lost if it's in recovery mode. You can restore a backup after restoring the phone.
