While on recovery mode itunes says it cannot connect to my iphone and to enter my passcode, what do i do then?

i turned on my iphone holding the home button and connected it to my computer, on the screen it said connect to iTunes. iTunes then opened up on my computer and I pressed start recovery mode. on the top it started loading 1 item, half ways through the download it said iTunes could not connect to my iphone because of the passcode and I must enter it before I can connect with iTunes. I cannot enter my passcode because my iphone says disabled and to connect to iTunes, I also do not know my password.

Place the iPOo in recovery mode for the passcode issue. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

    any help will be great thank you

    All I can tell you is that I am having the exact same problem with an iPod Touch and that I was running iTunes 9.2.1.5 at the time it happened. Upgraded to 10.0.0.68 hoping that it might help, but no joy.
    I don't want to do a restore just now since the Touch seems to be working fine. Restore will have to wait until I have plenty of free time in case something goes wrong.

    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting

    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.
    Hope this information helps ...

  • Itunes is saying it cannot connect to this iphone but I have a touch.

    I am a dance teacher and trying to sync up my ipod touch to my PC to get my new songs on it and make some changes to my itunes. Itunes will not allow the sync because of error 0XE8000065 which states itunes could not connect to this iphone.  I have been having a lot of problems in the past few months with syncing in general like itunes saying that it does not authorize my PC when it is the only one I have ever used.  I have updated the latest software and restored my ipod but that is as far as I can get.
    Thank you for any help.

    Your iTunes library is missing these songs or your iPod Touch is? If they are only missing from your iPod Touch, you can simply resync your music back over to it.
    Otherwise, if the music is no longer in your iTunes library as well, you'll need to reimport or redownload those tracks.

  • Iphone stuck in recovery mode, itunes can't get past 'waiting for iphone' after I repaired the broken screen...

    So awhile ago the screen broke so I bought a kit on ebay to fix it, my boyfriend did a beautiful job using a tutorial on Youtube, it turns on, tells me to connect to itunes. I did that and now it's been connected to my laptop for 9 hours and the status bar never moves. I'm getting very frustrated! I've tried putting it in DFU mode but nothing changes.
    Please help me! What do I do?!

  • ITunes says there is music on my iPhone but it's not showing up!

    iTunes says it is syncing with my iPhone, and it says there is music on the iPhone. However, on the 'iPod' section of my iPhone, there is nothing there! I have synced multiple times (am also having LOADS of issues with files that iTunes says are corrupted when I'm trying to sync, even though they will play quite happily through iTunes) and I have changed the cable I'm using to connect my iPhone to my PC.
    Can anybody help?

    Oddly, when I disabled AdAware and Zone Alarm I stopped getting the corrupt file messages too.....anyone know why this might be?

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

    That is not what it says. Read the message again. It's telling you it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and it must be restored.
    Restore it. You don't have a choice at this point.

    Hey there julyduque,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips that can help you resolve the issue connecting to the iTunes Store on your iPhone 5s when trying to make in-app purchases.
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue, try updating your payment information as suggested in this article:
