iPhone 3 "Connect to iTunes"

Hubby's phone has "Connect to iTunes" on the screen. Can't do anything except to make an Emergency call, Start Over or Cancel. Locked screen has "iOS6"


What do I do? I've opened the iTunes and plugged the phone into the PC via the USB... what next?

If you see the Connect to iTunes screen, restart your device:

  • On an iPhone X or later, or iPhone 8 or later: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Then, press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo.
  • On an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus: Press and hold both the Side and Volume Down buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
  • On an iPhone 6s and earlier, iPad, or iPod touch: Press and hold both the Home and Top (or Side) buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
