Iphone says connect to itunes but won't connect recovery mode doesn't work?

I have tried DFU recovery mode and the other recovery mode. I've tried it about 10 times. I also tried the iTunes directions for uninstalling every trace of Apple software ever installed on my computer and then reinstalling it. Still doesn't work. My Computer control panel does not recognize the device. I have tried using different iPhone cords and the cord isn't the problem. Whenever I connect/disconnect or put it into "recovery" mode, the computer makes a dinging sound like something's been connected or disconnected. But it doesn't show up in My Computer and iTunes doesn't recognize it. Help!

Added (1). I was able to connect the phone yesterday morning. It was updating to the new iOS6 software and the computer said an unexpected error occurred. And that's when it stopped working.

If you have reinstalled iTunes and tried recovery mode on the phone and its still not working on your PC, try another PC with itunes installed. If the phone connects to the other PC and it detects the iphone and gives you the option to recover, the issue is with the hardware/software on your PC. If the phone still isn't detected on the other PC, then the phone itself has an issue.

  • My iphone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes won't recognize it? They don't recognize it neither in recovery mode and neither in DFU mode. Is there a way to ''hard reset'' or reboot it without itunes? This happened while i was trying to install ios 8 GM.
  • ITunes says my iPhone 5 is in recovery mode? Please read the entire question before answering! Okay, so I bought myself an iPhone 5 16Gb and it worked well for a few days but just the other day when I plugged it into itunes, iTunes says it is in recovery mode. I have already tried restarting my computer, updating itunes, restarting the phone, and updating my phone firmware via the settings app. No Changes. One who solves this shall receive 10 points.
  • Iphone volume doesn't work, says its on headphone mode? I just dropped my iphone i the water for like 3 secs, and i dried and everything is working fine but the volume. There's no sound when I try and listen to music and when I try to bring up or lower the volume, it says its on headphone mode. I don't have an earphone or headphone on. What's the solution?
  • Iphone 6 black screen, home button doesn't work and it won't charge or connect to itunes? Nothing happened to the phone beforehand, I plugged it in to charge and a few minutes later I go to check on my phone and the screen is black and the sleep/wake up button won't turn it on. I try to hold the sleep/wake up button to see if its dead but the red battery doesn't show up. So its not dead but the screen is just black. ON top of that the home button hasn't been working. Any solutions to help me fix it?
