Solving the error “Iphone is disabled, connect to iTunes”


As you already understand, today we will talk again about iPhones. Like any other modern smartphone, each iPhone has a high degree of protection. For example, on the same iPhone you can set a password to log in. This password can be either a set of numbers or a graphic key. After entering the password multiple times, the device is locked. What to do in such a situation? Very often in such a situation, the message “iPhone is disabled” may appear on the screen of your iPhone and just below “try again in 5 minutes.” This problem can be solved using iTunes.

It is advisable that your iPhone be previously synchronized with iTunes. You need to do a system restore on your iPhone. To do this, first of all, connect your iPhone to your computer (with which you have already synchronized before). There are situations when, to reset the password on an iPhone, you just need to connect it to a computer.

If, after synchronization, a message about blocking also appears on the screen of your device (iPhone is disabled, etc.), then you need to do the following.

In the left panel of the iTunes program, look for your iPhone and right-click on it. Here you need to select "Synchronize". But we don’t need to start the synchronization process, so as soon as this process starts, we stop it right away.

What happens after these actions? The password entry counter will reset and you can try entering the password again. You can also reset your password, but if you haven't backed up your iPhone, you'll lose all the information stored on it.

To reset your password, you need to repeat all the above steps until synchronization occurs. In this case, you need to start the full synchronization process. After synchronization is complete, you must select "Restore iPhone".


After this, you may receive a message similar to "Automatic checking for iTunes and iPhone updates is turned off. Want iTunes to check for iPhone software updates?"You will need to enable automatic check for updates, and you can do this in the " tabAll" and in the iTunes program settings, select "Check for software updates automatically".

If you receive such a message, you need to click on the "Check". Then another window will appear in which you need to select the item "Restore and update". As a result of all these actions, a system update should start on your iPhone, and finally you will need to activate your iPhone. Here we select the item "Set up your iPhone like new". Immediately you will be asked to set a new password or not to set it at all. Any problem related to the iPhone can be solved. You just need to be patient and time.

    Ilya, do just that - connect it to a computer with iTunes installed. But there is a main condition - this computer with iTunes and the iPhone should already be paired. Otherwise, you will end up with a brick on your hands.

    I wouldn’t even guess what needs to be synchronized in this case.
