iPhone 4 cannot disconnect from iTunes despite not being attached via cord longer

2012-06-02 03:05:04

I have an iPhone 4, I believe that I have disconnected my iPhone from iTunes while it was updating (accidentally, of course) and it now says it's still connected to iTunes despite no longer being physically attached by the cord and will not load any other screen. I have tried force reboot and it restarts, yet still says it's connected to iTunes.

The computer gave an alert, informing me that there had been a malfunction and that the device was now unreadable. I've had a look for a solution and can't find a resolution to this particular predicament. If someone has any suggestions, or can post a link, that would be much appreciated! Also, if anyone requires any additional information, I'd be happy to oblige.

I am not adverse to restoring it to factory settings, although there are some pictures that I would like to take off it before doing so.

Best regards, Oliver

No, it's saying it's in Recovery Mode, and YOU need to connect it to iTunes and restore it.

Sorry, but once it's in recovery mode, there's no way to otherwise communicate with it or back it up, and your data/photos are likely gone already.

First off, thank you kindly for your help! And secondly, darn. Okay, so I can consider everything gone. I don't think that my computer is acknowledging that the iPhone has been plugged back in, so I guess the OS is fried. Any advice on how to undo my terrible, terrible doings?
