The iPad is stuck in recovery mode from iOS upgrade. Screen is blank and connecting it to my computer will not change the ststus. Any help would be appriciated.

While updating the iOS version on my iPad it entered Recovery Mode. The screen is blank and I can not get it to complete the recovery process. I have tried several times using both a MACBook and a Windows 7 based computer running the latest iTunes program. Is there anything I can do other than to send it to Apple repair?

Ipad mini stuck in recovery mode after ios 8.1 update

i have a first generation ipad mini which usually works fine. last night the ios update appeared in my settings and i tried to install it.
i didnt have enough space so deleted some apps and then installed.
the ipad switched on at the end but said the update failed as i didnt have enough space i needed a little more. i deleted more apps and attempted to install again
this failed my ipad is now stuck in recovery mode, it hasn't taken itself out as apples help pages suggest after 15 minutes its been in recovery now for 15 hours
i have tried to connect to itunes as the screen is telling me to but it will not recover from there either as apparently i can't connect to apple servers my connection isnt working - i assume because others are having this problem as i a using the same pc to post this message so know my network is fine.
i need help to get out of recovery mode - itunes says my software is up to date so i may have this nightmare software already.

i originally tried to install the update using wifi and this did not work. i think i might just chuck the thing as looking on the boards all my stuff will be lost anyway - i backed up 2 days ago but that is nowhere to be found now in itunes or the cloud kmt

Ipad mini stuck in recovery mode.
My itunes is up-to-date.
Sudo nano command is not working.

yes i am sure. This are the exact words... "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. The disk you are attempting to use is full. (Removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space". i tried some options, hard reset, redsnow, tinyumbrella but still it's stuck.

IPad 1, stuck in recovery mode, error 1601, wont turn on or restore/update

Its a brand new iPad,
its stuck in recovery mode, it says restore and update but it wont restore/ update because i get error 1601, How do i fix this problem ??? it wont even turn on please help?

If it were in recovery mode, you would see this
If its just a blank black screen, follow these steps
Will not turn on, or will not turn on unless connected to power
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions.   If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage.   If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check    if the Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) in the headset jack or dock connector is activated or there are signs of corrosion or debris. Learn more about LCIs.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See   "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
If something other than the Home screen or Low Battery screen appears on the display, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, try resetting it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter. To reset, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or the battery symbol appears.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Restore the iPhone. Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

My iPad is stuck in recovery mode, and wont stay turned off in order to use redsnow.

Alright so my iPad is stuck in recovery mode. I did some research and arrived at redsnow to fix the problem. In order to use redsnow's recovery fix option I have to power down my iPad. When I hold the sleep button though, no "slide to power off" appears, the screen just goes black then reboots into recovery mode 3 or 4 seconds later. Restarting it via holding the sleep and home buttons doesn't do anything. How do I get it to stay powered down? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I believe I may have used the wrong terminology. My iPad screen looks identical to the picture shown in the link, which is what I reffered to as Recovery Mode. I was looking for a way to return to normal functionality, without having to restore my iPad. I have never backed up this iPad and would prefer not to lose any information on it. If this is impossible then I will just restore it and carry on.
My main issue with restoring it is that I don't want to lose the pictures on it. If the restore doesn't erase the pictures, then I apologize for wasting your time and will be restoring it immediatly. However if I will lose the pictures than I'd prefer any other method of exiting this screen.

Why is my ipad stuck in recovery mode after IOS update? I can't get it out even after I restore. Please help!

I did an IOS update and now my iPad is stuck in recovery mode and I can't get it out. I have tried to restore through iTunes, but after restore it says it is still in recovery mode. Please help!

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

IPad 3 stuck in Recovery mode while trying to upgrade

I attempted to upgrade my iPad 3 and received the error message that there was not enough memory. Linked it via USB to iTunes on PC laptop (updated iTunes to latest version). Error message said unable to upgrade the iPad, my only option is to Restore. However, that will erase all my data and settings which I have not backed up. Now I'm stuck. Either restore and lose all or leave iPad as is ... only problem with the latter is that the iPad is stuck in Recovery mode and everything I have tried does not release it. Would appreciate help with this as I now have a non-functioning iPad! Thank you.

Hello ardsdon,
