Today smartphones have firmly entered our lives, and are a repository of important information: personal photos, e-mails, access to bank cards and accounts in social networks. Apple developers have provided enough ways to protect it, but most often they use one that requires a password to unlock the screen. If you forget it, then unpleasant surprises cannot be avoided. Sometimes you are given time to remember it, but it may also happen that a notification immediately pops up on the screen: "iPhone is disconnected, connect to iTunes."

The reason for the error

It is hardly worth trying to guess the password experimentally. After several attempts, you will receive a temporary warning that the number of requests has been exceeded, followed by a blocking of your device. Naturally, such a system was designed for security, so that attackers could not guess the password in this way. With the advent of new iPhones equipped with a fingerprint scanner, this problem practically does not arise. The user does not need to remember the password and enter it in order to unlock the screen. This happens automatically from the fingerprint. But what if there is no such function, and you cannot remember the password, or the device accidentally fell into children's hands, and they unknowingly brought the phone to a locked state.

Do not despair, there are several ways to solve this problem.

Solution via iTunes

This method can be used when the blocking happened by accident, and you remember the password. The algorithm of actions will be as follows:

• Download and install the iTunes application on your PC;
• We connect the gadget to the computer using the original cable and launch iTunes;
• Sometimes these steps are enough for iOS to allow you to re-enter the password. If this did not happen, then it is worth continuing;
• In the program window, click on the icon of the displayed device and click "Synchronize";
• After that, the synchronization process will begin, which should be stopped immediately. To do this, just close the window.

Now that you have restored access to your iPhone, you have received a number of password attempts.

One important circumstance must be taken into account. The method works only when the PC is already tied to the phone. If this is the first time you are connecting to a computer, the program will ask whether it is worth giving access to this device. The action must be confirmed from the iPhone screen, but since it is locked, it will be impossible to do this. Therefore, the problem will have to be solved in a different way.

Unlock with Find My iPhone

If the Find iPhone service is activated on your device, you can get rid of the message “iPhone is disabled, connect to iTunes” and remember the password using a remote reset. This function allows you not only to track the gadget, but also to delete information from it.

In this case, you can reset the password on the iPhone from any device connected to the Internet. To do this, just go to the iCloud cloud storage and log in using the identifier to which the link was carried out.

Not only will the inscription "iPhone is disabled, connect to iTunes" disappear, but all information from the mobile device will also disappear. However, it is possible to restore the iPhone from a backup or set it up as new.

Restoring from a backup device

If you are in the habit of creating backups, then the task is greatly simplified. In the event of a rollback, most of the information is retained. You can restore your iPhone using the backup function. To do this, connect your mobile device to a PC via a USB cable and launch iTunes. When prompted to enter a password for this service, you must do this.

Now you should go to the "Overview" tab. Scroll through its contents to the item "Backups" and click on it.

We create a backup copy and save it in the computer memory.

Disconnect the iPhone from the computer and turn off the power. Close iTunes.

Now you need to reconnect to your computer and launch the application.

On a mobile device, simultaneously hold down the power button and "Home" and hold them for 10 seconds.

Let go of the "Home" key. ITunes should now detect your device that was connected in recovery mode. After that, the "Restore" button will appear on the computer screen.

The operation can take a long time. It depends on the performance of both devices, settings and the limited amount of internal memory.

When the procedure is completed, we launch the iPhone in normal mode with iTunes enabled, and in the program menu, select the last saved copy and load it. Keep in mind that this will also take a long time.

Recent versions of iOS in a locked state cannot create backups, and you will only have to use the saved copy to restore.

So make backups just in case.

iTunes won't recognize iPhone

Sometimes, when an iPhone is connected to a computer, iTunes does not recognize it, and Windows OS issues an error code, which may be accompanied by text information. This happens most often when the iOS firmware does not match the iTunes version. Apparently the application is out of date and the latest update has not been installed. Check for updates and download the latest version.

In addition, you need to forcibly restart Athos to eliminate internal software errors. Then you can try to restore again.

Reset device

If none of the methods worked, then the iFunbox utility will help to reduce the loss from data loss. With its help, you can throw off photos and videos, even if access to the device is lost. Therefore, save everything that you manage to save, and then you need to perform the following actions:

Launch iTunes. Since there is no access to the iPhone, it will not work through it. Therefore, we connect it to the PC and find it in the program window. Then click "Restore iPhone". The recovery process will begin, after which the device will be returned to factory settings and all personal data will be deleted.

In order not to complicate your life and get rid of such problems in the future, there are several simple rules that should be followed:

Such locks are created specifically for your safety, so do not rely on your memory, even if the password seems to be simple, and write it down.

Keep your phone away from strangers and children. The iPhone is not a toy and is quite expensive, and locking it is not the worst thing that can happen due to negligence.

Don't be lazy and keep making backups, it will save you many problems in the future.

Sync iPhone with your computer, even when you don't need to. If blocked, you will have a better chance of regaining access.

If you follow simple rules, then the message that the iPhone is disconnected and you need to connect to iTunes will seem like a minor nuisance to you and will not turn into a big problem.

The iPhone is one of the most beloved smartphones at the present time - it is convenient, multifunctional, everything in it is optimized for the most convenient use.

However, sometimes it is able to bring several unpleasant surprises to its owner, for example, such as a more or less sudden blocking, accompanied by certain notifications.

One of them contains text - how, when such a message appears, is described in the article.

Content:

Peculiarities

What is this message, why does it appear and what meaning does it actually carry?

Firstly, it should be mentioned that such a message is directly related to the protection of the device, which is very well organized on the iPhone.

The fact is that it is possible to set a password on your phone, which will protect your data from accidental or deliberate attacks from outsiders.

Such a system works very efficiently, but it can be inconvenient, including for the user himself.

The principle of its operation is as follows - after several attempts to enter the password (and errors in it, respectively), the device is locked and erases all data.

It is now possible to restore this data only with the help of a backup copy, which, for this reason, the notification that appears when blocking, recommends connecting to this system.

Important! Such a system for protecting data from outsiders is both very effective and not very convenient. But it is sometimes implemented much more functionally than, which is much more difficult to recover when a lock occurs.

How does it manifest?

In what cases does this warning occur?

It is associated with attempts to enter a password - if the user entered the password incorrectly when unlocking the device, the system will be locked to ensure data security.

However, this does not always happen.

The user is given as many as six attempts to enter the password. If, during these six attempts, the wrong password (the same or different) is constantly entered, then the mobile device will be blocked for exactly one minute. It is believed that during this time the user will remember or somehow learn his password and will be able to concentrate.

If, after the first minute has ended, the user retypes the wrong password at least once, then the device will lock itself, this time permanently.

In this case, a corresponding notification will appear on the screen, which is discussed in this article.

It is worth noting that such a problem has become quite a little relevant and widespread, then, when the main button of the device began to be equipped with a fingerprint scanner.

Now the owner of the device does not need to remember and enter a password every time you unlock - it simply recognizes the user's fingerprint and.

Since most of the locks were caused by the owners themselves, who forgot the password, this problem almost disappeared with the advent of the fingerprint scanner.

However, it can still occur, for example, when trying to unlock the smartphone with gloves that are suitable for working with the sensor, when children use the phone uncontrollably, etc.

In any case, if the device is in the hands of its owner, then unlocking it will not take much time and will not be too difficult.

Unlocking

But the user can choose the optimal method for returning the functionality to the device, from the two described below.

Using iTunes

It is important to understand that in fact this event is not unlocking a specific device, with access to the data stored on it.

This procedure, in essence, consists of two, related stages:

• Full data reset and returning the phone to factory settings, with the deletion of all information stored on the device;
• Restoring device data and settings again, from a backup stored in iTunes.

At the same time, it is possible that not all settings will be restored exactly in the same form in which they were before the lock, and there is a possibility that the device will have to be manually configured again.

Therefore, it is better to be careful about entering a password. Although all data stored on the device is usually fully recovered.

Advice! If you plan, in case of an unforeseen situation, to restore functioning in this way, then do not forget to regularly create backups of the system, which.

Unlocking Algorithm

In order to unlock the device and restore data on it in this way, follow the algorithm below:

1 Connect your phone to your computer using a cable;

2 Launch iTunes on your computer;

3 Enter your password from this service, if the program requires it;

4 Find the tab Overview and click on it;

5 The contents of the window that opens, scroll down to the section Backups, and click on it;

6 Create a system backup on your PC(choose a place to store data This computer is important, as it helps to create a copy not only with settings, but also with multimedia files);

7 Now, unplug your device from your computer and turn it off completely;

8 Turn off iTunes;

9 Now reconnect the powered off device to the PC and run iTunes on it;

10 On the phone Press the Lock / Power On / Off button and the Home button at the same time;

11 Keep them pressed at the same time for 10 seconds;

12 Release the button Home.

Please note that as soon as you do this, you should find the device connected in recovery mode and offer to perform this recovery.

Wait for this question to appear on your PC screen. Press the Restore button and leave your smartphone for a while.

This procedure can take a long time and it is important not to interrupt it. You cannot disconnect the phone from the PC and allow the PC to turn off (for example, if the laptop is discharged). The recovery process can sometimes take from half an hour to several hours (depending on the performance of the computer and phone, the amount of internal memory, the complexity of the settings, etc.).

Now start your device in normal mode (connected to iTunes), select the last created copy in this program and download it - this can also take a while.

Note that the devices with the most can no longer create backups in the locked state, therefore, the restoration will have to be carried out from the last saved one.

Therefore, it is important to periodically create a backup copy yourself, just in case.

Using the "Find iPhone" function

This feature is especially useful if the user does not have access to the computer right now. And also when there is no full-fledged backup in iTunes and it is impossible to create it.

When using the Find iPhone function, data from the cloud (contacts, notes, etc.) will be used for recovery, which is sometimes quite enough to preserve the full functionality of the device.

What should be done?

1 Sign in to iCloud with your AppleID, from any other tablet or computer;

2 Find your smartphone and perform a remote wipe all device data;

More details about each of the two listed methods, the principles of their work, and the correct implementation of unlocking with their help, are described in the video in this material.

One of the undoubted advantages of Apple devices is that the set password will not allow unwanted persons to access your personal information, even if the device is lost or stolen. However, if you suddenly forget the password for the device, such protection can play a cruel joke on you, which means that the device can only be unlocked using iTunes.

If you forget the password for your iPod, iPad or iPod, which does not have or does not use Touch ID, after several incorrect attempts to enter, the device will be blocked for a certain period of time, and with each new unsuccessful attempt, this time will increase.

In the end, everything can get to the point that the device is completely locked, displaying the user with an error message: “iPad is disabled. Connect to iTunes. " How to unlock in this case? One thing is clear - you can't do without the help of iTunes.

Method 1: reset the password attempt counter

Please note that you can unlock the device only on the computer with iTunes installed, on which trust was previously established between the device and iTunes, i.e. previously, you had to manage your Apple device on this computer.

1. Connect your device to your computer using a USB cable, and then launch iTunes. When the program detects your gadget, click on the icon with the image of your device in the upper area of ​​the window.

2. You will be taken to the window for managing your Apple device. Click on the "Synchronize" button and wait for the process to finish. As a rule, this step is enough to reset the counter, but if the device is still locked, proceed further.

In the lower area of ​​the window, click on the button "Synchronize" .

3. As soon as iTunes starts syncing with the device, you need to cancel it by clicking on the icon with a cross in the upper area of ​​the program.

After completing these steps, the counter of incorrect passwords will be reset, which means that you have several more attempts to enter the password to unlock the device.

Method 2: restore from a backup

This method is applicable only if a copy of iTunes was created on your computer through iTunes that was not protected by a password (in this case, the "Find iPhone" function must be disabled on the iPhone itself).

In order to recover from an existing backup on a computer, open the device management menu on the tab "Overview" .

In the block "Backups" check the box next to "This computer", and then click on the button "Recover from copy" .

Unfortunately, you won't be able to reset the password in any other way. apple devices have a high level of protection against theft and burglary. If you have your own recommendations on how to unlock iPhone via iTunes, share them in the comments.

Almost every owner of an Apple gadget has forgotten the lock screen password at least once. This password reliably protects the iPhone, but if the user forgets it, a system lock occurs when the gadget writes on the screen that the device is disabled and needs to be connected to iTunes. What to do in such a situation and how to unlock your iPhone? All answers are in the instructions below.

Forgetting the lock screen password, the user begins to remember the combination of numbers that it consists of, and tries to write different options. But if at least one digit is incorrect, the code written by the system will not be accepted. All attempts are limited to six, and after that the display shows the inscription: "iPhone is disabled, repeat after 1 minute."
If the password was entered incorrectly not six, but nine times, the display will show: "Please repeat the iPhone is disconnected after 60 minutes." The examples of blocking a smartphone from Apple described above are typical for gadgets flashed with the iOS version 7. On iPhone models with other versions of iOS, the time given to the user to remember the password may increase.
But sometimes the operating system does not give time at all to remember the password, but immediately displays the following message:
"IPhone is disconnected and connect to iTunes."
If you are faced with such a nuisance on the iPhone 4, 5, 5s or any other version of the device, do not panic - this difficulty is completely solvable. The following are 2 options for getting out of a difficult situation, when the user has forgotten the password, and the system says "connect to aytyuns".

Resetting your password using iTunes

The aytyuns utility will help the owner of the iPhone to reset the password. To do this, you need the program to recognize the gadget connected to a PC or laptop. But if the user connects the device to a third-party computer, most likely, the device will not recognize the aytyuns and ask to respond with a special notification from the iPhone. But how to do this if the gadget is locked and turned off? Therefore, you only need to connect your smartphone to the computer to which you connected the gadget earlier.
So, when the aytyuns utility recognizes your device, follow these steps to unlock your iPhone:
1. Run the program on your PC / laptop.
2. Connect the iPhone to the computer using a USB cable. Quite often, already at this step, the password is automatically reset to zero. If this does not happen, follow the other steps of the recovery.

3. Click the right mouse button in the ITunes panel and select the synchronization mode.
4. After the synchronization process starts, you need to turn it off immediately by clicking on the cross. Often, after pressing, an arrow also pops up, which must also be pressed. The process will stop.
The counter will then be reset, and the display will again show the possibility of entering a password that you forgot or accidentally lost. Now you don't have to wait an hour or more. The reset procedure can be done any number of times, if the device displays the requirement "iPhone is disconnected, connect to iTunes" on the display.

IPhone is disconnected connect to iTunes what to do: method two

In a situation where the user's device has not yet completely turned off, resetting the password can help. This method is good for everyone, but it has one drawback: if the owner of the device was not in the habit of making a backup, all information stored in the device's memory will be irrevocably deleted. If you have a backup copy, there is nothing to worry about, and you can safely start resetting your password.
1 This method of unlocking the screen of an "apple" gadget may be required in 2 situations:

2 If the first method has already been applied, but to no avail. The iPhone still asks for a password, but the user decided to reset the password. made a recent backup and is not afraid of losing files stored in the device's memory. 3 To reset the password, you need to manually enter the device into one of 2 modes: Recovery Mode or DFU.
To enter DFU mode, you need:
1.Connect iPhone to PC or laptop.
2.Turn off the iPhone.
3. Press the "Home" button and do not release until the device enters DFU mode.
There will be no special message that the iPhone is in this mode. Most likely, it is identified by the system as a recovery mode. But this is exactly what the user needs.
After confirming the system restore, a complete reset of all device settings will occur, the memory will return to the factory settings and the password will be changed. After that, you can restore information from the backup.

The iTunes cord and icon on the iPhone screen may suddenly appear during the IOS firmware update. This error means that during the installation process the Internet connection was interrupted or there is not enough memory on the phone to install additional components.

If after updating the iPhone asks to connect to iTunes, you will not be able to use the phone normally. The device stops responding when trying to turn on and start the desktop. Let's take a closer look at how you can easily fix the update problem and restore the phone to work.

Among the reasons for the error are the following:

• Incorrect installation of new firmware;
• Sudden disconnection of the cord while updating the phone via iTunes;
• An error occurred while trying to jailbreak;
• Broken or shifted Wi-Fi module chip.

Standard recovery methods

If you encounter a similar software problem, first try restarting 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 a software error, it cannot be completed. Press the Home and Power buttons simultaneously for 15 seconds. Then the phone will be turned on again, and the error will disappear.

Rollback to backup. For this method, you need to connect the iPhone to the iTunes desktop application. Then open the main window of the program and in the "Restore" field, roll back the phone to a previously made backup copy. It will take 15-20 minutes.

In most cases, all the above recovery methods will be able to resolve the error and the iPhone will automatically restart. However, there are several more reasons why the iPhone asks to connect iTunes.

Exiting the Recovery Loop

The cable and the iTunes mark can mean not only an active recovery mode, but also an “eternal cycle” of attempts to do the same recovery, that is, Recovery Loop. In the second case, the phone is not so easy to get out of this state, because instead of the operating system, the smartphone reloads the error screen.

You can exit Recovery Loop using the Tiny Umbrella utility. After installing the application on your PC, you need to connect your iPhone to your computer. The utility will automatically recognize the connected device. Then follow the instructions that appear in the main program window to complete the setup. Another app that fixes the endless Recovery Loop is RedSn0w. Connect iPhone to PC. In the main window of RedSn0w, click on "Extras" - "Recovery fix".

Broken 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 Wi-Fi connection module on the iPhone is damaged. During an attempt to activate the device, the system cannot find Wi-Fi. Next, the recovery mode and the window for connecting to iTunes are turned on.

To fix the problem, you can roll the existing chip. Remember that poor performance can damage more important components of your phone, such as the CPU.

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