Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. I DO NOT have any back ups on itunes. Is there anyway to get out of recovery mode without restoring or recover data after a restore?
Or any other suggestions please? Thanks

As pdroth said, you should have gotten a backup made when you started the update of iOS. If you cannot find a backup, and the phone is in recovery mode, there are no futher suggestions to make. To get the phone working again you have to restore. You cannot force a backup at this time since it is already in recovery mode. It will not allow anything else but a restore at this point.

  • I upgraded my Iphone 4 wirelessly to iOS 5.1 and I'm stuck in recovery mode and my phone won't restore and gives me error (1) What do I do?

    I upgraded my iphone4 wirelessly to iOS 5.1 and now I'm stuck in recovery mode and when I try and restore my phone it gives me error code (1)  At this point,
    I want a working phone.  Any ideas?

    download a program called RecBoot, very easy to use, connect your iphone and click on "exit recovery mode" and it will restart normally. I had the same problem as you, but I solved it with this program.

  • I have an iphone 4s which I recently updated to iOS 7.0.4. Now my contacts no longer show addresses or notes, although the phone numbers are displayed. All the correct information is still in iCloud, but how do I get the Contacts folder to show all info?

    Since I updated to iOS 7.0.4 on my iphone 4S, I can no longer see addresses or notes in my contacts on my phone. The information still exists in iCloud online.  How do I get full contact info onto my phone?
    There is another problem which may be related.  My desktop computer at work is running Windows 7, and I was recently upgraded to Office 2013.  Outlook is not showing contacts on my computer any more, just in iCloud.  However, when in iCloud, it does included addresses and notes, so I don't think this is caused by the same error as the iphone problem,
    I have refreshed, reinstalled and rebooted, to no avail.

    I would say that you would want to look into the "Exchange Mode" for GMail.  That would allow your iPhone to sync calendars, contacts and email with GMail just fine.  Doing the same with your outlook should also then sync those same with your PC using Outlook.  I've done teh iPhone side of this, but I since I don't run Lookout for my email client, I'm not sure how that will work on the PC side.

  • My iPod Touch won't restore on iTunes! It's stuck on recovery mode and I can't get it to restore after I updated the software! Help?

    Okay, so I got an iPod touch, 4th gen, 32gb, brand new and running perfectly fine two years ago. Used it for about six months, lost it, and finally found it again a month ago tucked away in my recliner. It was as dead as a doornail, but I had it charged up and ready to go in a few hours.
    So I wanted to get a special app for my iHome, as well as spend all of my accumulated iTunes cards that were previously useless due to the fact that I had lost my iPod for a year and a half. The app store said I had to update to the current software to download anything new, so I did just that about half an hour ago, updating to the latest version of iTunes and downloading the new software for my iPod like I was supposed to.
    Only when I applied it to my iPod, it went into Recovery Mode as expected, but I can't restore it! I've made sure there's no extra USB attachments in it, my firewalls are currently down to get around this stupid thing (just turned them back on because it wasn't working), and feeling like I just let all this money slip down the drain.
    If you have any relevant advice, please help! I'm running on Windows 7 with the current version of iTunes (64 bit). Help!

    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.

    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.

  • I just got new iphone 4 but it tells me to restore the phone wen i plug in my computer.. then half way thru the restoring on the "firmwear" part it stops an says error "9?? wats the go there?? its driving me insane...

    i just got new iphone 4 but it tells me to restore the phone wen i plug in my computer.. then half way thru the restoring on the "firmwear" part it stops an says error "9?? wats the go there?? its driving me insane...

    Let's first define what "new" means. Was it purchased from Apple or your authorized carrier, and it came in a shrink wrapped box? Or is it only new to you, and you don't know its history?
    Assuming it truly is a new, never used phone, Error 9 means that the USB connection to the phone is intermittent. Do the following:
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (10.4) - if not, download and install it from htp://www.apple.com/itunes
    Reboot your computer
    Disable your antivirus and firewall software
    Disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse
    Connect the cable to a USB port directly on your computer, not to a hub; do not connect the other end to the phone yet (If your computer is a desktop or tower and has ports on both front and back us a port on the back)
    Launch iTunes
    Connect the phone to the other end of the cable
    If the phone is recognized in iTunes proceed with the Restore
    If the phone is NOT recognized by iTunes:
    Disconnect the cable from the phone (leave connected to the computer)
    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen goes blank, then IMMEDIATELY release the SLEEP button but continue holding the HOME button
    Connect the cable to the phone while holding the HOME button
    Wait for iTunes to recognize the phone, then release the HOME button (this may take several minutes of holding)
    If you still have a problem after these steps take the phone to Apple for exchange.
