IPhone :: Its Not Detected On Itunes And DFU Mode Isn't Working
May 25, 2012
I tried updating my iPhone 4s (iOS 5.1 , not jailbroken) to the latest firmware using iTunes . I backedup my phone to my computer and proceded to update the firmare . During the process , after a few minutes , my phone just showed the "Connect to iTunes" picture , and the message on iTunes was " itunes is updating the software " .I waited about 15 mins to see if there was any change or progress .
So I disconnected my phone and reconnected it and iTunes didn't recognize or show any device being connected . I tried entering DFU mode to restore the phone , but it isn't entering DFU mode ( I tried the 3 sec pressing power/sleep button +10 secs of simultaneous power/home buttons + 10 secs of home button ) . I tried this atleast 30 times . I have successfully entered DFU mode with my previous iphone 3gs few months back , so I know how it's supposed to be done . Still my phone isn't being detected by iTunes .
I unintalled/reinstalled all apple software on my Win7 , (including bonjour, quicktime, itunes , and other apple software) .And even after that it isn't being detected.
Info:iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1, not jailbroken

My iPhone recently stopped getting signals. It says "No Service" on the top, I tried putting different SIM cards, yet no difference. So I cannot receive or make calls.
So I decided to connect my iPhone to iTunes to restore it, because it may fix the issue. I connected it to 2 different computers, 5 different USB ports, running latest version of iTunes (10.6), but the iPhone would not ever be detected by iTunes.
I tried getting my iPhone into DFU mode, it shows up a cable and itunes logo, but still the iTunes doesn't detect the iPhone.

I did a complete format on my PC with Windows 7 Professional. Just like a do once a year if it needs it or not.All software reinstalled normally as usual Installed iTunes yesterday and got my iPhone 4 hooked up to it just to setup a sync with it again, which it did.After a restart of the computer, iTunes was not seeing the phone whatsoever. Still shows up in Computer devices as shown here:As well, as followed normal troubleshooting with iTunes [url] settings and Firewall (Comodo Firewall) and Antivirus (Avast!) disabled both, and connected to phone again after restarting iTunes.Issue persisted A couple times I connected I received 2 different error messages (this does not come up all the time however)Obviously nothing has been changed on the iPhone since the format. The only different thing that occured was when the phone was connected initially to the computer and I did my primary sync I was prompted to Either "Merge" the data, or have it "replace". Of course I selected Merge. No data was changed with this and all information synced as normal.
This evening I have reinstalled iTunes completely as well as the Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Application support, etc. cleaned registry, restarted and reinstalled. As I assumed, iTunes opened and found the phone connected and synced.Restarted the computer again. opened itunes. I notice it hangs (no phone connected) for about 15-20 seconds then finally opens. It did this previously as well before the reinstall. Also booting iTunes in Safe mode (Ctrl+shift) does the same thing.

Since I ran out of battery today, my iPhone 3G hangs on the pineapple logo. I have connect it to my iMac intel to charge it, but no luck.I tried a reset using Home+Power button for a few seconds: same.Sometimes the screen displays a battery icon not charged.
I can go into recovery mode and it is detected by iTunes 9.1 Should I restore it? will I have to jailbreak/unlock the iphone again then?

I've just bought a nokia n8 but I can't put in it my sim card or my father's. It won't read it and will only display a message that reads "Offline" (hors connexion in french). I can't access my contacts. I've always had nokia phones so I don't understand why this one suddenly won't work.

A little while ago my battery ran out on my Xperia Play and nothing has really worked since then.
1. Backlight does not work, at all.
2. The phone does not detect the battery (though I am able to charge it). I have that 'no battery' indicator on the top of my screen at all times. I have bought a new battery, no change. If I keep it plugged in with/without battery nothing changes.
3. Screen is really laggy now. I have to try to swipe the screen like 18 times before it actually goes through and unlocks. When I try to type, the keys I press get held so all sorts of funny accents are all over the place.
Its not usable currently. If I use the arrow keys to navigate the menus, it works fine. When I tried to take the phone apart I managed to break the LCD screen. Replaced that and now I'm back where I started. Anything I can do? Replace the digitizer?

What am I doing wrong that my iPhone 3GS in DFU mode won't show up in iTunes? If it will not show up in DFU mode in ITunes, then I am unable to jailbreak it with redsnow because it can not see it. ITunes sees my phone when I am not in DFU mode but as soon as I go into DFU, it disappears and then the sound on the computer sounds like it is going to see it again but it never shows up in ITunes. I am running Itunes 10.6 and Iphone 3GS 5.1.

"iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used in iTunes" It restores the phone to factory settings and after I do the restore I connect my phone back to iTunes to try and restore my phone to the back up I made just before I did the 4.1 update but then iTunes gives me the same error message as above so I have to restore my phone to factory settings again which I've had to do 3 times now. Then it says “The iPhone “iPhone” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9)” Then the phone displays the connect to itunes logo again and wants me to do the whole restore to factory settings procedure again.

I just updated my carrier settings, and iPhone 4S from 5.1 to 5.1.1, and while it was updating, it said, restore error or something, put my iPhone 4S into recovery mode, and now even after a computer reboot and iPhone reboot, it won't show up in iTunes. I can't simply bring it into Apple or use their express lane as there is no Apple Store near me, and the Express Lane will not work for me for some strange reason so i need someone who knows what to do instead of referring me to someone who does. I have read all the guides that say that iTunes should show this message when you connect it in recovery mode(it doesn't even detect it):

My phone is in recovery mode.I think my husband detached it from the USB when it was near the end of a big sync to answer a call. It was the first time I had plugged the phone into my PC to add all my music. I had the phone replaced at an Istore when I needed a new screen a few weeks ago. I had named the phone etc at the beginning of the sync, but when I plug it in Itunes is just calling it 'Iphone' and saying I need to reset factory settings and will lose all my data. Can I call up the 'devices list' on Itunes to see if it has my backup there? I have my contact list off Icloud as my husband was using my icloud and I didn't want to merge phone lists.

Last night my iPhone randomly went into recovery mode on me. Just before I went to sleep a bunch of static lines appeared across the screen. The screen went dark and a few seconds later the Apple logo appeared. A few seconds later is disappeared. A few seconds later it came back. So on and so forth. I thought I had turned it off and was going to deal with it in the morning, but when I woke up the iPhone still just had the Apple logo going on and off again.Â
I've tried everything today. All the different button hold methods out there. I've tried to sync it to iTunes but the same **** keeps happening over and over again.Â
A message pops up saying "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." So I press OK. Then I press the "Restore iPhone..." button on iTunes. It asks me if I'm sure I want to "restore it to the factory settings" and I click "Restore and Update". It then says that its "extracting software", "preparing the iphone to restore", "waiting for the iphone", then "verifying iphone restore with Apple". As this is going on the "connect to iTunes" sign is shown on the screen of the iPhone. When the "waiting for the iPhone" part starts, my screen goes black, then the apple logo pops up. The "verifying iphone restore with apple" comes on the iTunes and the status bar appears underneath the Apple logo on my phone's screen. It sits there for a couple of seconds with no progress and then the screen goes black. Then iTunes has the same **** message saying "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be resotred. An unknown error occured (9)."Â
I've gone through this process countless times in the past few hours and have done everything that apple support has told me. The windows system is fully updated. So is the iTunes. I've restarted the computer..Â
A couple of notes about the phone:
It's over a year old. It's never had water damage. It was nearing the max capacity of its internal storage. This has never happened before. I keep it in an Otter Box. I had very little problems with the phone. Lately a couple of apps like snapchat and the barstool sports app were taking a little longer to open up or would randomly close out and sometimes my camera would take a while to get going. But this problem is just ridiculous and completely rendered the phone useless.

Fyi, I have checked the wifi and internet connection, all seems OK and good. it almost 4 hours now, I cant use my phone to make phone calls or checking emails.Â

My Iphone recently shut off while I was using it. I turned it back on and went to my iMessages and then it immediately shut off again. After this happened I tried to do a hard reset on it, but nothing would pop up. My iphone is completely dead without being connected to a charger. When I plug it into a charger it pops up the plug into itunes logo. I plug it into iTunes and attempt to restore it and instead I receive a message saying "error code 21".....
