My Iphone 5 says connect to itunes?

Ok so today I was trying to update my phone as I saw that there was a minor update available. I just thought it would take a few minutes, and it was almost done but it was taking forever, so I turned my phone off and on, holding the home and power button, and tried to turn it back on. Then it said "connect to ITunes?" OK, well I can't connect to ITunes because my charger is not able to plug into the computer. Is there any way to fix this problem without plugging my phone into the computer? I tried holding home and power again and just power and plugging it in to charge, etc. Nothing works. So any thoughts?

Due to the interruption it may have failed and need the iTunes connection or some updates require it to be connected. Pick a usb wire from pound shop. Sorted

You MUST connect to itunes. Ask a friend or someone (almost everyone has at least one computer) to borrow their pc to connect. I assume you backup with icloud so once you connect to a PC while itunes is running you will want to hold the power and home button until itunes recognizes your phone. It will ask to restore it and all you have to say is yes. Don't back up (it will go on their computer) and you can restore the backup later after it is finished.

  • My iphone is disabled and it says connect to itunes? My brother took my iphone and put in the wrong pass code multiple times and now its disabled and says connect to iTunes. Well i did. It did nothing. So then I clicked on my device and I clicked 'restore iPhone' but it says it'll delete data? Will this delete all my pictures and music that ISN't backed up? And what can I do if it does delete it? Are there other ways to un disable my iPhone?
  • My iphone 4 says connect to itunes and I can't get out of it? So I unlocked my Iphone 4 for tmobile and I was using it today but then I tried to Backup and Restore it. After it shows the itunes icon and says to plug it in to my computer. But when I plug it in it doesn't even show that my iphone is plugged into the computer or itunes. I restored and EVERYTHING. I don't know what else to do. I need to get passed the connect to itunes part so I can access my phone.
