    Thanks, I figured that out, so I went ahead and restored it, which also didn't work!  It gave me an error 3194, which I also can't figure out.

    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

    Try Restoring it 3 times in a row and see if that works.
    If not that error can indicate one of two things: Your iPhone was at one time jailbroken, had the iOS version rolled back, or ran an unauthorized beta and if none of those things are true it is a hardware error.

    If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode
    Note: If your device is working on its own and is not in recovery mode, this set of steps is not for you; do not manually place the device into recovery mode.
    Your device may not be recognized while in recovery mode. This can happen during an update or restore of your device. Typically when your device is in recovery mode, it will show the "Connect to iTunes" logo on its display. If iTunes does not recognize the device when in this state, try the following:
    Open the Device Manager:
    Windows XP: Click Start > Run. In the resulting dialog, type devmgmt.msc and press Return.
    Windows Vista or Windows 7: Click Start. In the dialog, type devmgmt.msc and press Return on the keyboard. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click "Continue".
    Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type devmgmt.msc, and press Return.
    Click the plus icon (Windows XP and Vista) or the disclosure triangle () (for Windows 7 and 8) next to Imaging Devices, Other Devices, Portable Devices, and Universal Serial Bus Controllers to expand these sections.
    Check these sections for one or more entries called Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode). These entries may or may not have exclamation marks on them similar to the following:
    If you see only one "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" entry that has no errors on it:
    If you see two "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)" entries with exclamation marks on them:

  • My phone is stuck in recovery mode.  Are my photos and videos that weren't downloaded lost?

    I've been lazy about updating my phone.  I plugged it into my computer tonight, the prompt came up and I absentmindedly clicked OK, you get the picture.  It claims the update failed and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode.  I can't believe I didn't back up my phone before I did this - I just wasn't thinking.  Have I lost all my videos and pictures?

    They should have been part of the backup. If you have already restored from the backup and they are not present on the phone, then they are gone. If you have not yet attempted to restore, just restore already... you don't have any other choice. Debating whether something will be there or not is pointless. It will, or it won't. discussing it won't change that.

  • HT201401 My phone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes wants me to do a restore, but I don't have my information backed, so I will lose a bunch of my information/photos if I restore it.

    Can anyone help me with my phone being stuck in recovery mode?  I have looked all over the internet and have had no success.  I have not tried to restore it with Itunes, because my data is not backed up and I don't want to lose it.  Tinyumbrella would not work and the apple support website is completely useless!

    Thanks, I figured that out, so I went ahead and restored it, which also didn't work!  It gave me an error 3194, which I also can't figure out.

  • TS1363 when i connect my phone itunes says it does not recognise my phone and need to update itunes to 64 bit. i have done this but still keeps coming back up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    when i try to connect my phone to itunes a message comes up saying it does not recognise it and must upgrade itunes to 64 bit i have done this numerous times but stillwill not recognise my phone.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • HT1688 I just tried to install the latest software update for an iPhone 5, and now the phone is stuck in recovery mode.  Are there any options available to avoid going through with the recovery.  This seems really lame.

    The error means that your antivirus or firewall is blocking the update process.

    if your computer is not recognizing it, try using a different USB port or different usb cable. if that doesnt work you will need to uninstall and reinstall itunes.

  • My iphone 5 is frozen on the screen that shows a cable and itunes symbol.  I can not get the phone to enter DFU mode and itunes does not recognize the phone when plugged in to itunes.  The phone was mid update when it was disrupted....

    I plugged my iphone in to do an update and it was mid way through the update when the phone was accidentally disconnected.  Now the phone is stuck on the screen that shows a cable and the iTunes image suggesting the phone needs to be plugged in to iTunes.  I have plugged it in, powered on and off, attempted to enter DFU mode numerous times all with no success.  ITunes does not recognize the phone and I continue to only receive the screen saying I need to plug in to iTunes..  Please help!

    Hold Sleep Button with Home Button toghether until it restarts Always it takes 8 to 15 seconds, after it restarts leave the sleep button and remember do not leave the home button it automaticlly switches to DFU mode.

  • Tried updating to iOS 6, now my phone is stuck in recovery mode...help?

    I tried updating my phone to the iOS 6 software, and my iTunes won't read my phone at all. It keeps saying that "your iphone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored." I restored it for an hour and it didn't work at all. Now my phone is stuck in recovery mode. I'm away at college and I don't know how to fix it. Help!

    No, it is my phone that I've had since 2009. I just hate updating it because every time I do something goes wrong. So I put it off as long as possible. I am getting a new iphone, but I read that to have your backup transfer to the new phone, it must be a backup from the current ios.

  • I suddenly cannot email photos from iphoto. I get a box that says "server does not recognize username or password". I now have to use regular email and cannot re-size my photos.

    Suddenly I can no longer email photos directly via iphoto mail.  The box comes up that says "server does not recognize username or password".  I used to be able to re-size my photos before sending so that they jpeg or pixels were larger for publishing in newspapers or magazines, but I can no longer do that.  Apple tech support told me to change my iphoto "preferences" to using regular email to send.  But that does not allow me to re-size.  Is anyone else having this problem?  I don't know if there was an update that caused this or what?  Please help.

    The box comes up that says "server does not recognize username or password".
    That error message usually will pop up, when there is a conflict between the "From" setting for the mail account you are sending from and the selected outgoing mail server. Probably the outgoing Mail server is receiving a user name and password it does not understand. When the mail returns unsent, do you see the "Try again" panel with the option to select a different outgoing mail server?
    If you do not see this panel, change the Mail "Preferences > General" to "If Outgoing server is unavailable: Show a list of alternate servers". This way, you will know, which server Mail is trying to send from.
    Have you tried to set "From"  pop-up menu to one of your other email addresses?  If that works, change your settings in Mail to always send from this address. You can set this option in the Mail "Preferences > Composing: Send New Messages from". I have my "Send New Messages from" set to "iCloud". That is working best for me with iPhoto.
