When your iPhone or iPad says "Connect to iTunes", it means that something is wrong with your device and you need to connect it to a computer with iTunes installed in order to fix the problem. However, sometimes even when you connect your device to iTunes, it won't connect or sync with the computer. This can be frustrating, but there are several things you can try to fix the issue.

If your iPhone or iPad still won't connect to iTunes, the problem could be with your USB cable or port. Make sure that your USB cable is not damaged or frayed, and that it's plugged in securely to both your device and your computer. Also, try plugging your USB cable into a different USB port on your computer to see if that solves the problem.

Put Your Device in Recovery Mode

When the Apple logo appears, release the power button but continue holding the home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. Follow the on-screen instructions in iTunes to restore your device.

Conclusion

If your iPhone or iPad says "Connect to iTunes" but won't connect, don't panic.
