    Hi mikevickie,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you only see the "connect to iTunes" screen on your iPhone, the steps in this article can help:

  • Download failed but phone still stuck...

    I don't know much about these things, hence why I am posting here. In trying to download iOS7 the first time, I got through most of the process - however, in the finishing stages a message popped up on iTunes saying download failed. The REAL problem, however, is that my phone is stuck on the screen showing the download bar; it no longer comes up in iTunes, pressing the home button does nothing - so I'm wondering if it is safe to unplug it from my computer? Will anything bad happen if I do that? I'm scared.....

    Plug the iPad into your computer, open iTunes then press & hold both Home & Power on the iPad.

  • IPhone 4s: upgrade from ios 5.1 to ios 6 failed and phone stuck in recovery mode

    I am on a Macbook OS 10.7.5.  iTuens 10.7.
    This afternoon I plugged in my iPhone 4S and started the upgrade process from iOS 5.1 to iOS 6.
    The update process failed at some point and now I am stuck with only the "Restore" option in iTunes.
    The frightening thing is that I am not sure if my data is backed up (most importantly my photos). 
    I had not done a backup in a while, but when I go to Library/Application Support/MobileSync/ and look at the backup folders, there is a backup in there from today around the same time I started the update, and the size is close to 9GB. 
    Is this my iPhone's backup before the update was processed?  Does iTunes / Apple backup before the upgrade process automatically? Am I safe to restore from here or do I risk losing my data?  Anything else I can do try?
    I'm in the process of upgrading to the latest iPhoto so I can at least get some of the photos that were backed up in there before it maxed out.
    Very very frustrating experience ... remember to back up before you upgrade, especially if you're over a wireless network!

    if pictures are your main concern, but you have icloud activated on your phone and computer, then they should be backed up on your computer.  If the only option you have is to "restore", then go ahead and do it and you should hopefully get the option to restore that backup that you spoke about, after itunes installs ios6 to your iphone.

  • Upgrade to 2.0 Failed and Restore Won't Take -  Suggestions Welcome

    Looking for ideas please! Tried to upgrade my 8GB phone to 2.0 - failed. Now I can't get it to restore. Progress bar gets to about 90% done on "restoring iphone software" then appears to give up - even if left over night. Eventually the phone will disconnect itself and show the connect to itunes graphic. I've tried the various tips on these forums - tried the upgrade repeatedly, followed instructions to remove all traces of itunes, quicktime etc software and reinstalled it on multiple occasions, used different USB ports, ensured no other USB devices connected, updated USB drivers, held power and home buttons down as directed etc. It just won't go any further than completing 90% of the progress bar. I'm going nuts!

    I have this problem every time I update. The only update that ever worked for me on my computer was the first update for the 1st Gen iPhone.
    Even so, I still try every time that an update is released...to no avail. I found a work around that works:
    I take the latest update and copy it onto a usb drive, plug my phone into another computer with iTunes installed and run the update on there. You have to hold down the Shift Key while pressing the Update Button which allows you to browse to the usb drive on which the new firmware is stored. It always works.
    Strange that I have to do it from someone else's computer and aggravating to say the least.

  • IPhone 3Gs - upgrade to OS4.0 failed and I can't restore anymore (error 36)

    I tried to upgrade my iPhone 3gs to the new OS4 and I received an error message (unknown error (36)) during the process. I can't turn the phone on anymore and it is not possible to restore it using iTunes 9.2.
    I tried to follow the steps described in the topic http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2469544&start=0&tstart=30
    however it hasn't worked. I've downloaded the OS4 file about 10 times, always deleting the previous one located in the DOCUMENTS & SETTINGS folder. I've also tried to install the 3.1.3 firmware but iTunes didn't accept it (error 3194), showing me another error message...
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks!

    Thanks Tommy, but I had already tried the "Notes" setting on and off and neither seemed to make any difference.
    I just tried to email a Voice Memo, another feature I use regularly, and it had the same problems as before however this time it wouldn't even send a message to the Outbox.
    I decided to try a few differnent mail accounts I have, POP3, IMAP and HOTMAIL to see if any of them would work. Interestingly, when I created a new POP3 account and clicked "Save", during the verification process for this new POP3 account it produced an error with the IMAP account!
    I thought I should just delete the newly created POP3 account as well as my normal IMAP account (this one noted in the first post above) and then I'd recreate the IMAP account. As I deleted the POP3 account, I heard the sound that is played when an email is sent, the phone then automatically switched to the Mail application and showed the Outbox with all of my previous attempts to send Notes and Voice Memos from the last couple of days. Which all sent successfully.
    So even though I was able to send and receive emails during this time, it would seem the OS4.0 upgrade butchered something in the IMAP account settings, which caused both the Notes and Voice Memos to have issues.
    It all seems to be working OK now, I just thought I would share this solution/work-around in case anyone else is having the same problems as I did.

  • Connection failed and phone freezing

    I have had the incredible for a couple of weeks now but the last couple of days I have received a message stating "connection failed" when I try to check e-mail or the internet.  The phone also has frozen a few times while I am on the internet.  I have to take the battery out each time to get it started again.  Anyone else having these problems?

    My connection is 3G and I have cleared all history and cache.  I had a problem last week with the phone randomly shutting down and restarting by itself, went to Verizon and they replaced the battery.  I like the phone, but not happy that I am having so many issues right at the beginning.

  • Upgraded to 7.0.3 and phone messed up

    I upgraded my wife's phone via itunes and when the phone started up there must have been a glitch as she only has a few of her downloaded apps, but JUST a few.  When I restored from the last good backup I get the message "the iphone can not be restored because it has disconnected".  I did a reset on the phone and set it up as new, then restored and same thing.  I've tried other backups and am getting the same message. 
    Googled for an answer but nothing helpful.
    Please help!!
    Than you!!

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. DONT CONNECT YOUR DEVICE TO A COMPUTER.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    if that doesnt work try deleteing account and readding it
    last option perform a back up and restore device

  • Re-installation failed and phone blackout

    I was re-installing my nokia 701 software, it got disturbed whilst it was in the process, now my phone is dark and seems to be not working, what can I do?

    There are no instructions about correct three keys to "hard reset" Symbian S^3 and later devices in this resource which has not been kept up to date and anyway should only be used with caution to try to restore telephony functions in such devices as a precursor to visiting Nokia Care facility for software to be completely re-installed.
    Although screen shows as black, device may well remain in "flashing mode" and be easily restored should correct drivers be abailable upon PC to recognise it.
    Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

  • HT4528 was upgrading to ios6 and phone dead will not boot. what can i do

    upgrade iphone 4 to ios6 and phone will not boot up   screen dark   what can i do?

    If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.<br />
    You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I just downloaded version 7.1.1 and my phone is stuck on a screen showing me to plug phone into computer and go to iTunes. When I do this, iTunes says my phone is in recovery and I need to do a hard restore. Doing this, it says it will go back to factory

    how can I keep my data doing a hard recovery on my phone? I uploaded newest version and phone is stuck on a screen telling me to plug phone into computer and go to iTunes, when I do this, iTunes says my phone is in recovery and I need to restore, Can anyone please help me get my phone back without losing anything?

    You shouldn't have to restore your phone to keep your data. But first press home and on button at the same time until phone shows up Apple logo an boots up normally. When the phone comes back on plug into ituens and back it up by selecting "Back Up Now". Once backed up, you can press update and install 7.1.1 and it will restore and recover all your previously backed up data. You can also press "update" and itunes will automtically back up the phoen and install 7.1.1.
