Update crashed my iPhone 4 - Now it doesn't even connect to iTunes.

I updated my phone with the new update and now the phone will not connect with iTunes.  The phone won't even turn on now.  I just get the home screen as if the phone is brand new and has never been set up. 

You need to enter DFU mode.  Connect you iphone to your computer. Turn of your iPhone (hold down power button, slide to shutdown). Then press and hold the power button for 3 sec. Then, without letting go of the power button, press and hold the home button for 10 sec. Release the power button, but hold the home button down for 20 more sec. iTunes should now pop up and tell you to restore. Do it. Afterwards, it will ask you to restore from backup. Choose your most recent backup and let it sync. It should be fixed.

  • Downloaded the new iPhone update for my 4s and now I get the the "connect to iTunes" image.  When I do, it says it needs to restore factory settings.  Help!  What do I do?

    I downloaded the new IOS software update today and now my 4s is stuck on the "connect to iTunes" icon on the screen.  When I connect it, it says my cell needs to be restored to factory settings.  I don't want to lose everything.  Help please!  I saw someone else had this problem so hopefully there's already a solution.  Thank you.

    They will be gone from the iphone, but you should be syning all contacts to your computer regularly and should be importing all pics to your computer regularly, particularly before any update.
    Have you failed to do this?

  • I just did the lastest os update on my iphone. it restarted and wants me to connect to itunes but itunes wants me to restore my phone. i dont want to lose all my stuff.  what can I do?

    I just did an update on my iphone 4s, I think it was for the  iOS 5.0.1.   Afterwards it restarted and my screen was froze with the itunes logo and usb cord thingy.
    When I connected it to iTunes it says iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.  And that I must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.
    What should I do?  I am afraid I will lose all my contacts, music, photos, etc....  PLEASE HELP!
    thank you!
    Carol

    If it's in recovery mode (iTunes logo and USB cable on the screen) then there is nothing on the phone to lose. Everything that was on it is already gone.  If you've been backing up on a regular basis and syncing your contacts to a supported cloud service or contact manager, you should simply be able to restore it.

  • Firefox gets hung up connecting. I'm on a Mac desktop using OS 10.5.8 and Mozilla 8/0.1. Yesterday opening web pages was just really slow. Now it doesn't even connect. Any idea what's wrong?

    This is what came up on my Mac:. Hope it means more to you than it does to me. I know my internet connection works, because I still get email, and access the net (as I am right now) thru Safari.

    I encountered the same type of problem. Firefox running terribly slowly and slowing down my entire machine (Core i5 with 256GB SSD). Searching the forums, I found a couple of things about troubleshooting performance issues, one of which was to use '''hardware acceleration''', that is on by default. It was turned on on my PC, '''so I tried deactivating it, and it worked!'''
    So doing the exact opposite as Mozilla support said solved the problem. It is really a pain now to work with Firefox. I'm using it because I have no choice, but I'd recommend IE and Chrome over Firefox... Whatever, the market will decide once Firefox has become to crappy...

    uninstall pse 10 (properly using the adobe uninstaller).
    clean - Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    then try reinstalling using the adobe installation file(s).
    if you see an activation count error while trying to reinstall contact adobe support, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html
    and ask for an activation count reset.

  • My iphone 3gs is not working properly, when switched on it says 'Update Completed' as though it has just been updated. On the next screen it says to 'Connect to iTunes'. It doesn't, however, connect to iTunes and more often than not just resets itself.

    My iPhone 3gs is not working properly and hasn't been since about September of last year. When switched on (Quite often it won't even turn on) it says 'Update Completed' as though it has just been updated. On the next screen it says to 'Connect to iTunes'. It doesn't, however, connect to iTunes and just resets itself over and over until power is gone. Occasionally after switching on and off a few times it functions normally for a few hours and some times even a couple of days but eventually always turns itself off and goes back to the 'Update Completed' screen. Does anyone know what might be causing this and/or a way of fixing it?

  • I've downloaded the past 2 updates for my iphone 5s and now it keeps asking me to trust my own computer and it wont even connect to itunes!

    I've downloaded the past 2 updates for my iphone 5s and now it keeps asking me to trust my own computer and it wont even connect to itunes! I am current with software on both my computer and my iphone 5s.  Now when I hook it up to my computer it still keeps asking me if I trust the computer and it won't connect to Itunes?

    DFU mode? How do I do that? So far the only thing I can do is hold down both buttons to power it on and nothing is on the screen and it wont reconize on my computer....
