The iTunes cord and icon on the iPhone screen can suddenly appear during the iOS firmware update. Such an error means that in the installation process was interrupted with the Internet or on the phone there is not enough memory to install additional components.

If after updating the iPhone asks to connect to iTunes, you will not be able to use the phone as usual. The device stops responding to an attempt to enable and start the desktop. Consider more detailed how you can easily eliminate the update problem and restore the phone.

Among the causes of the error can be allocated as follows:

• Incorrect installation of a new firmware;
• Sudden shut off the cord in the process of updating the phone via iTunes;
• Error trying to install jailbreak;
• Wi-Fi module shift or shift.

Standard ways of recovery

If you encountered a similar software malfunction, first try to restart Recovery Mode.. The fact is that the image of the cord and the iTunes icon means that the recovery mode is running on the iPhone, however, due to the software error, it cannot be completed.

Breakdown Wi-Fi chip. What to do in this case?

If all the methods described above did not help you solve the problem, we can say that the module is damaged on the iPhone Wi-Fi connections. During an attempt to activate the operation of the device, the system cannot find Wi-Fi. Next turns on the recovery mode and the connection window to iTunes.

To eliminate a malfunction, you can perform a calcination of an existing chip. Remember that poor-quality work can lead to a breakdown of more important components of the phone, for example, a central processor.

It is impossible to replace separately the chip, since immediately after the first attempt to turn on the iPhone phone will not be able to identify the authenticity of the part. As a result, you will receive non-working "brick", which can no longer be restored. Only effective method Repair - replacement motherboard On iPhone.

The iPad tablet is disabled. 6 Attempts - Minute Lock, 10 - Connect to iTunes

Greetings dear friends. In the life of almost every forgetful user iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. An unpleasant situation with a forgotten password installed on the lock screen can occur. Details of protection using a code password can be found in the instructions - "". The exact same password is set in the iPad tablet and in the iPod Touch player.

If the password installed on the screen blocking iPhone Or iPad is forgotten, we begin to remember it, and try to introduce various options. As soon as we incorrectly enter the password code six times, a message appears on the device screen: " iPad is disabled after 1 min"If you entered on 6 wrong passwords in your phone, a message appears:" iPhone is disabled again after 1 min».

When we entered the ninth incorrect password, the iPhone display saw:

"IPhone is disabled repeated after 60 minutes"

All today's experiments we spent on iPhone devices and iPad with iOS 7.1 firmware. In some firmware, when entering a code-password, the device increases the iPhone or iPad trip time, forcing the user to wait even more time for subsequent input password. But there are firmware in which there is a certain number of attempts, after which the message appears:

"IPhone Disabled Connect to iTunes"

If you encountered a similar problem, you yourself have forgotten this password or children inadvertently included, then you should not be upset, because today we will look at two options for the development of possible further events.

Forgot your password, iPhone is disabled - zeroing

If you are very important information in your iPhone or iPad, and how you did not do earlier for evil, then the only password reset version is carried out using a manual selection. As already mentioned above, the number of attempts to enter the locked screen password is limited either by a temporary interval or a full blocking with a request to connect to iTunes. Therefore, to remember and constantly enter the forgotten password, you need to constantly reset the password entry counter in the iPhone or iPad.

To reset the password entry counter, we helped us. And so that this method zeroing worked with our iOS 7.1 firmware you need it to recognize the iPhone or iPad connected iTunes, so if the device appeared in program iTunes., I will reset. Well, if you connect your iPhone or iPad to a "someone else's" computer with iTunes (i.e., to a computer that has never been connected to the gadget earlier), you will see the following notice:

Want to resolve this computer access to information on this iPhone (iPad or iPod Touch)?
If you prohibit access, then synchronization iPhone. (iPad or iPod Touch) and manage it from this computer will not be available.

If you press the button - Continue, iTunes reports:

To allow access to answer the iPhone itself (iPad or iPod Touch) ...

Now, now attention, if you have built messages specified above this text and you cannot press the button - "" in the iPhone itself because of the encoded screen, then this method Zeroing and selection will not work. In order for it to work, connect your iPhone or iPad to a computer with iTunes with which you have already worked earlier, maybe, well, or at least once pressed a confidence button if there is no such computer, then go to the next method described slightly below.

Well, if in iTunes, on your computer, iPhone or iPad, it appears, then reset the counter of incorrect code inputs and continue entering the password in this way:

I do not know whether this method will work on other versions of the firmware, but in IOS 7.1 firmware it works.

1. Start the iTunes program in the computer, for convenience that appears in the left side of iTunes.
2. I connect the iPhone on the screen of which it is written - "iPhone is disabled repeated after 60 minutes", to a computer using a USB cable that is included with the phone. Sometimes it is enough to zero, if the screen hangs all the same message about blocking per hour, then turn to the third item.

3. Right-click on the iPhone on the left pane of iTunes. I choose - synchronize.

4. Once synchronization has begun, immediately stopping it by pressing the cross in the top of iTunes (where it is written - step 1 of 4). Sometimes after pressing the cross, the arrow appears instead, to which you also need to click to stop the sync session with the iPhone.

The counter of the incorrect entry password lock screen is reset. Now in your iPhone or iPad, which just asked to wait 60 minutes, you can again enter forgotten or accidentally set password. This procedure for resetting a password counter can be performed as much as possible and even if a proposal appeared to connect to iTunes. As an example of reset, we performed a synchronization attempt, but in fact the password counter is reset and other operations during which the device is paired with the iTunes program.

If not selection, then reset the password in the iPhone or iPad

If your iPhone or iPad is disabled or has not yet managed to disconnect, and asks to enter the password, you can simply take and reset this screen lock password, the only negative of this method is that if you do not have a pre-made backup, then all the information in the iPhone will be lost. This second method may be needed in the following cases:

• If you have tried the number one method, i.e. They tried to choose a password, constantly resetting the counter, but your undertaking was not crowned with the success and iPhone phone (or the iPhone tablet) still asks the password. But you consciously decided to reset this password, having lost all the accumulated information on it, since you do not have any backup of the iTunes program or in cloud service icloud.
• If you have a backup (backup) that you did not delete during. And did not even try to pick up the password, but just decided to reset it with all information iPhone. Remember, if your, then you will definitely need encryption password with further.

Reset the protective password to the lock screen installed in the iPhone or iPad is performed by the recovery method, while the device manually is entered into mode or mode. The way was previously discussed here - "". So that you do not hesitate, pass on the link and try. Our experiment to reset the password counter we performed on devices ( tablet iPad. and phone iPhone.) With iOS 7.1 firmware, while the function to find the iPhone (iPad) was not active, the password for restrictions was also not stood.

In our situation, we exceeded the number of password inputs (10 or more attempts) and on the phone with the inscription: iPhone disabled Connect to iTunes, I managed to reset the counter and start the input password again. Password failed to pick up, I had to make a discharge.
