While updating the iPhone 5 software from 6.1.3 to 6.1.4, the power failed. iTunes had just finished the backup and was beginning the software update. Now the phone screen says to connect to iTunes but the phone is not recognised when plugged in. Using Windows 7 and phone not recognised by computer, let alone by iTunes.
Any suggestions? Happy to take it off to the the Apple genius people but would prefer to get it running myself.
Regards.

Ipod screen says to connect to itunes but won't let me enter my password. Tried recovery mode but when I click 'restore' itunes says it cannot connect to update server. Help!
Place the iPOo in recovery mode for the passcode issue. For recovery mode:

I am on a shared computer with several profiles. I had to delete my profile and create a new one. Now, my question. It transferred to Purchased Items to the new iTunes, so how do I get the rest of the songs to transfer to new iTunes?
It sounds like you might have broken links to your content. Either repair these by putting the files you've recovered where iTunes expects to find them or delete the broken entries then go to iTunes Store > Purchased > Music > Not on This Computer, and click the download links.
If you have an Apple device see also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I keep getting invalid signature when I try to downloand itunes 11.1. I have tried to just do a download and i have tried to change internet options to accept downloads without valid signature. but it still does not work. anyone have suggestions?
I just tested it (on 10.6.8) and it worked perfectly well, so it may be something on your computer. You could try creating a new user account on your Mac and using that to try downloading. You can then install on that account and it will be available on your normal one.

my iphone 4s fell and display went blank,and when i restarted it shows a USB on display asking to connect with itunes,instead i went to a phone repair shop where they service iphones too.First they said that they have to install the IOS4 again in it but they could not do so due to an error so later they asked me whether they should install IOS5 i agreed but it only happened after a long struggle yet the phone remains in the same state with the display showing USB asking to connect with itunes..they could not fix it..please help me..:(
What's there to help? You dropped your phone and now it's broken. You'll have to bring your phone into Apple for an out of warranty exchange. If you purchased Apple Care+ is will cost $49.00, if not, it will be $199.00

Ipod touch won't start, just shows screen saying to connect to itunes.
Ipod touch won't start or charge, or do anything other than when I plug it in, the screen shows a picture of the usb cord connecting to itunes. When I tried to connect to itunes using my computer, nothing happened. Any suggestions?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My phone screen stuck on connect to itunes with usb logo
Finally i thought by now all you over paid geniuses at apple would have made the update smooth. I tried to upgrade to 3.1 and the phone went to stuck mode. I can't use it for anything now? what do I need to do now to get it back to working condition?
First I understand your frustration I have had a butt load of problems with my phone ok now plug into iTunes and hold the power button and the home button down at the same time till iTunes says that it has found a phone in restore mode follow the on screen prompts to restore your phone I had this same problem and that worked for me they had an emergency meeting a week ago about thease problems hopefully a fix is coming soon I don't think that they want to lose their #1 phone status I know how you feel I pucker every time I go to sync my phone I hope this helps you.

Please help! I was updating my iPod to 4.2.5 and iTunes said that it was preparing my iPod for update. Then an error popped up and now my computer won't recognize my iPod and it doesn't show up under devices in iTunes. All it has on my iPod is a picture of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo. I tried resetting my iPod and it just restarts to the same picture. I tried restarting my computer as well.
What was the error number? That would be very useful since the following gives actions for various errors.

Try manually placing the iPod in recovery mode to see if that will make the iPod visible in iTunes. See:

I performed an iOS 7 software update on my iPhone yesterday, and now the phone is not working at all. The iPhone screen shows to connect to iTunes to restore. I've have done this, and still the iPhone is not working. What going on?
I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue. -
I started update connected to my work computer....it started update and now it is asking me to connect to Itunes, which I have but my work computer doesn't have my Iphone information, it says I have the latest software, my only option is to "restore phone" which I don't want to do here at work as none of my apps or music are showing up ..... I can't use my phone now when I start up it says connect to itunes.....
Mozilla has nothing to do with a Microsoft product activation key.
That "test" page should be viewed in Internet Explorer and not with Firefox, as it may use ActiveX which isn't compatible with any Mozilla product.

I downloaded a software update on my iPhone. Now it's asking me to connect to iTunes, but I don't have my computer with iTunes to connect to and won't be able to for a few days. What can I do to use my phone now?
Hi,
Thank you for your reply, I did go to my general settings, but for some odd reason I don't have a restrictions setting, or a reset setting. I thought I could reset all the setting to see if it could be that, but as I said there aren't any.
My husband also has the iPad 2, and also did the software update and hasn't had any problems at all. I took both iPad's and compared the settings thinking maybe there could be a setting that could have been changed when the update was done. -
my i pad shows connect to itunes but my computer does not recognise the devise -- it was ok until i tried to do a software update
Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.
