How do I rest old 4.1 os IPad that shows itunes logo and usb plug

Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, 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.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

Recharged my iPad and it shows iTunes and a plug?

Recharged my iPad and the screen shows iTunes and a plug.

It means you're in recovery mode. You need to connect to iTunes on a computer and restore from a iTunes or iCloud backup. This happened to me last Monday and the iCloud backup restored 100% of everything on my iPad. Plus I regained 6GB of needed memory in the process.

Why does my screen turn blue and freeze every time i try to plug in my 'mini display to hdmi' cable into my thunderbolt port in order to use an external monitor?

why does my screen turn blue and freeze every time i try to plug in my 'mini display to hdmi' cable into my thunderbolt port in order to use an external monitor? it only works if i turn the computer on with it already plugged in.

Do you have gfxCardStatus installed? Is your monitor set to "Integrated" or "Discrete". You want it set to Discrete to drive the external HDMI display.
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC
<About NVRAM and PRAM>
<Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)>
Are you sure you have a good miniDisplayPort to HDMI cable?
Do you have another HDMI display you can test against (your neighbor's HDMI capable TV).
Do you have friend that can test the cable using their Mac and maybe their TV or a monitor that has HDMI input.

My Iphone 4 goes off after tried to instul ios 7.0. I 'm onlu seeing the sing of iTune and USB plug right on the phon's screen. I really need help because I all i got

My Iphone 4 shuted down after tried to instul ios 7.0. I 'm only seeing the sing of iTune and USB plug right on the phon's screen
I really need help because that's only phone i got.

Just back from Genius Bar and two other people at my table had the same problem. Their 4Ss aren't charging either. One of them had a fried board according to the tech. At least my HW checked out OK. It just won't charge.
The tech tried to tell me that it was because my connector was corroded, which I told him was kind of a weak argument since evidence points to that the update has something to do with it.
They're seeing a lot of these and it looks like they already have a script.
Luckily I had enough juice left to recycle it for like $180, so I picked up a 5S with a new 2 year.
It looked to me like this is going to blow up pretty big. Like class action lawsuit big.
If you have an iPhone 4 or 4S, and you haven't updated it to iOS 7, don't for now. See if a patch comes out that doesn't brick your phone. Or get an induction charger maybe? Don't just update and expect absolutely no problems because too many people are having problems right now.

Hello there Stmalo23,
I would recommend reseting the iPhone using this procedure.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
From: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
When the reset is done the phone will return to recovery mode. Here is some info about recovery mode:

TS1363 iphone locked on itunes screen with picture of itunes and usb plug

New ipod touch won't connect, shows itunes and usb icons

My son just got a new ipod touch for his birthday. I have the latest version of itunes, and I have spent hours scouring the internet looking for a solution. Whether the thing is plugged into the computer or not, all it will do is show the usb cable icon and the itunes icon. When I plug it into the computer, my computer makes the noise that indicates that a device has plugged in, the ipod beeps one beep, and I get an error message from itunes that says that a rented movie from the ipod cannot be imported into itunes. Other than that, the computer, including itunes, doesn't acknowledge the existence of the ipod, not in the device manager, in itunes, in the itunes diagnostics tests, or anywhere else. In addition, the battery won't charge.
Also, I noticed that I do not have anything called "Apple Mobile Device Service," although I do have something called "Bonjour service." Are these the same thing or could this be the problem. Please HELP!

See:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
You need iTunes 10.5 or later and that requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.

Unit showing iTunes and USB cable only and iTouch is "frozen"

Here is how I cleared this up and got the unit working again after downloading and installing 2.2.1 and hosing up the unit. Some of these steps may not have been needed, but it worked for me!
Loaded iTunes to another pc (Windows XP). Opened iTunes and connected the unit via a usb and now iTunes did recognize my unit. My regular machine would not even do that! iTunes said a unit that was in "recovery mode" and you could not use it with iTunes until it was "reset". So I clicked on "reset" and got connected with the download on Apple and it started downloading the files necessary, it said. Found out later it was the 2.2.1 upgrade. Anyway after several hours the download finished. I then held down the "shift" key and clicked "restore" at the same time and a window opened and I had to search for the download which was in "document and settings, owner, application data, Apple Computer then iPod software update and there was the file. I opened that and it started working on the iTouch. After it completed, I moved the unit to my regular pc and it then recognized my unit and I hit restore again (I am a little hazy about this step because I got real excited when the unit was recognized, but if you get his far I think you can figure it out) and it set my unit back to it's old self. I then had to resync the music, applications etc.
So far everything is now working. If you have any questions, please yell. I have written this in a hurry and maybe some of it does not make sense.

I am not familiar with error 18. This article is my goto for all error codes

When you see iTunes and the USB icon, you have to restore it. You may have to place it into recovery mode. Follow the instructions here if so.

Why does my screen turns black and I have to reset the phone to make it work?

My phone is fully charged when suddenly the screen turns black it doesnt matter if I push the buttons the screen still is black, I have to reset the phone to make it work. When the screen is black and if you call you can hear is ringing but my phone does not sound.
