Updated ios 8.1 now my screen is stuck on connect to itunes, I don't have a computer to do this and Apple is stating that my device is out of warranty so they want me to pay $19 to get it looked at when it is APPLE's upgrade

So upgraded my ipad and now I can't use it at all, can't get any support from Apple because it is past the 1 year, this is crazy because it is Apple's product and Apple's upgrade, NOT my fault. Screen is stuck on connect to iTunes but cannot get it to un stick. UGH!

If you ever want to be able to use the iPad again, you have to connect it to a computer running iTunes to restore it. Your iPad is in recovery mode and nothing can be done for it over the phone anyway. You can blame Apple for the problem if you want to, but that's not going to change anything.
Take your iPad to a friend or relatives's house that has a computer running iTunes and restore your iPad. Make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them for help. I don't think that you have to pay for a Genius Bar visit. Phone support is a different story.
IF you have an iCloud backup, you will be able to restore the backup after you get the iPad up and running again. If you have no backup, you will have to start all over again.

HT4623 Just updated my iPad now it's telling me to connect to iTunes I don't have a computer to connect it to iTunes

Downloaded new update now I get a screen with a plug and iTunes but nothing else help me fix it

Unfortunately, you have to restore the iPad using recovery mode and you must use iTunes on a computer to do so. You can restore your iPad on any computer that is running iTunes, but it will totally erase the iPad. That's what would happen if you had your own computer as well, but many people would have a backup in iTunes from which they could restore,
If you backup with iCloud, you can restore that backup after you get the iPad up and sunning again. If you don't backup, you will just have to start downloading your content again. Most of your paid content will be free to download again as long as you use the same Apple ID and as long as it is still available in the stores where it was purchased.

Iphone update needs to connect to iTunes - I DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER WITH ITUNES?

My macbook gave up for good and I haven't purchased a new one yet, so I have been using an old PC (boo, I know). It doesn't have iTunes, so I have been using my iPhone4 for everything. My iphone has EVERYTHING stored on it (lots of songs, movies, books, etc) so I couldnt connect it to itunes on a new computer without using a third party app to download my stuff.
Okaaaaay so:
Tonight my iphone told me it was time to update, so I did. It worked fine until the picture came up on the screen telling me to connect my phone to itunes! This is a major problem for me because I do not have itunes on a computer, and if I download it, I would lose everything from my phone. As of right now I cannot use my phone because it is only the picture telling me to connect to itunes. The picture stays on for 30 seconds and then the phone will turn off, unless it is plugged in, then it will just stay on with the picture. What do I do??? I'm so paniced to lose everything from my phone and don't know what to do!

P.S. If the apple store needs my phone, can they open it without knowing my passcode? I have confidential stuff on there that I can't have anyone but a selected few see.

Unfortunately, to fix your phone will require restoring it through iTunes. Since you have no backup of the data on your phone, there is nothing to restore back to your phone. Thus, your data is gone. You can either download iTunes to your computer & restore your phone or go to an Apple store & have the geniuses do the same. In either case, your only option will be to restore as a new device, erasing all data on your phone.
Not want you want to hear, but it is what it is.

IPad 7.0.4 update. Won't let me back into iPad unless I sync. I don't have a computer to sync to and can't get into my iPad unless I do sync. How do I proceed and get back into my iPad?

Software update has prevented me getting back into my iPad unless I sync it. It has never ever been synced and I don't own a computer to sync it to. How do I proceed?

If you see this picture, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to recover your iPad.

HT1350 my kids entered the wrong unlock code on my ipod too many times and now the screen says ipod disabled connect to itunes. Well i try connecting to itunes and i cant because my ipod is locked! need help please!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

You have no other option but to connect to iTunes or take it to your nearest apple store for them to reboot.

TS2755 I have the iphone 3gs and did the most recent update ios 6.0. I try to send pictures to my friends who don't have the iphone or have the update yet and it wont send the pictures and they try to send me pictures it wont send what can i do to fix it?

i have the iphone 3gs and the update ios6 but for some reason i can not send or recieve pictures from ppl that don't have the iphone or dont have the newest update what can i do to fix it!

Try to do basic troubleshooting, but 9/10 that is actually a service provider issue.

I have just updated my iPhone 4 with latest IOS 7 and now wi fi greyed out and Bluetooth not working. Tried reset, restore everything - no use. Its out of warranty too. I refuse to pay for a new phone when clearly this is an apple issue not phone issue.

Can anyone help? I updated my iPhone 4 with latest iOS 7 and now wi fi is greyed out, Bluetooth won't work and tbh am so angry! Phone now out of warranty so apple won't help without it costing me. Don't want to pay as its an apple problem not phone problem. It worked ok before. Tried everything, even clearing it down. Can't even back it up now unless I connect to a pc!

I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

Stuck on "connect to itunes" screen after trying to update

Update was interupted because of "unknown error"
Now my Ipad is stuck on "Connect to Ituns"
Have tried to reset by holding both buttons for a long time but still only returns to Connect to Itunes sceen.
Itunes does not recognize the ipad.
Anyone any ideas exept for turning it in for service

Makes sure you disable any antivirus or software firewall on your desktop. They can get in the way of the update, causing this problem.
Have you actually got the update downloaded yet? If not, it might be helpful to download and install separately

Updated to 2.0.1 now stuck on connect to itunes logo

I guess hunting Bears is complicated.....(sorry, inside joke between myself and neuroanatomist).
I'm sorry about your phone. I've never had to restore or wipe my phone, so I'm really no help there. Might want to take a look at this post. Some guy discribes how to wipe it and start over.
