After updating ios my ipad is stuck in recovery mode and is not being recognised by the computer in windows or itunes.  Help!

Help - I am stuck in Afghanistan on operations and my iPad mini has died.
I tried to update the IOS as directed, there were a few error messages and I cancelled the process.
The ipad now only shows the connect to itunes screen and is not being recognised by the computer in either windows or itunes.
I have tried several resets and restarted the computer and reinstalled itunes.
Is there anything else I can do.
This is my only method of talking back to my family at the moment and is really quite important.
JS

Thanks, I will give it a go. Will it work on my computer after I do that?

  • TS3694 Ipad is stuck in recovery mode and can not advance after attempted IOS 7 update

    After attempting to upload IOS 7 for ipad the Ipad locked up in recovery mode and I get the 3194 error message

    I'm getting the same message, and I have had to restore my iPad and lost all my settings!

  • After an 'error' occurs to update iOS 6 , phone is stuck in recovery mode and only option is to restore? ):

    I don't think I back uped anything. I assume it was already going to do that like most times..
    I downloaded and updated the phone with the iOS6, but then an error occurred saying that the phone can't be updated. It then turned into recovery mode and suggests that the only way to use the phone is if I restore it.. which I really can't do! I still have lots of photos..
    Please, I regret not having backing up just in case, but is there any way to somehow 'undo' the recovery mode and bring it back to normal (regardless of which iOS it has)? Please, I really would appreciate a solution, any solution.
    Thank you.

    What's wrong with you guys.. you must ALWAYS back it up before anything major like this.
    If it's not too late, and i do not know if this will work or not.. but download something like TinyUmbrella or any program that will allow you to kick it out of Recovery Mode and back to regular. May or may not work but worth a shot.

  • IPad 2 stuck in recovery mode and does not respond to usual cures.

    I wonder if anyone can suggest what further I can do to get an iPad 2 16MB WiFI model out of recovery mode.  The machine was previously working normally but after a charge would not turn on.  It connected to iTunes on a Windows system when started using the home button press before USB plug method.  iTunes reported the iPad in restore mode even though the diagnostic tools menu in iTunes said that the ipad was not connected.  The Windows system device manager showed that the Apple USB driver was loaded but did not show the iPad as a device. However, running restore from iTunes seemed to work correctly with the progress bar showing on the iPad and the information bar on iTunes showing installation of software and firmware.  iTunes then said that the iPad would restart - but it did not.  It just stayed in restore mode.  A new USB cable made no difference and the same thing happens when I repeat the attempted restore on another Windows system.  I have done the attempted restore multiple times as has been suggested is needed.  I also let the battery run flat before doing restore attempts. Both Windows system were cleaned of everything non essential and the iTunes is up to date.  Doing the restore from DFU mode gives the same result. I have occasionally had the error code oxe8000084 reported by iTunes.  Am I dealing with a hardware fault?

    This is the error report from iTunes which despite saying that device connectivity fails - seems to be able to see what is on the iPad.:

  • My Iphone 4s is stuck in recovery mode and is not being recognized by Itunes.

    I've tried updating my itunes, restarting my computer and nothing seems to be working. My phone is stuck with the itunes logo and the cable telling me to plug it in. ive tried everything but nothing seems to be working.

    Hey Sonia.jackson
    Thanks for the question. I understand that your iPhone is not recognized in iTunes. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Specifically, if your iPhone is not recognized while in recovery mode, see Step 5 - subsection "If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode":
    Thanks,

  • After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server.

    After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server.  I have already tried the resetting with power swich and home button and plugging into computer but it says the "iPhone software update server cannot be contacted."  I am locked out of my phone.  Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue and get the phone working again.  I will add that I am now trying to restore it on a different computer with a lower version of itunes, but the computer that it initially happened on had the updated itunes and gave me the same result ... nothing.  Thanks for your help in advance.

    Try going to recovery mode as described here.  You may have to try this more than once to succeed.
    Use the original iTunes that the iPhone synced with.

    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    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.

Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • 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.

  • I updated my Iphone 5 today. After updated. I get a message  in recovery mode and has to be restored to factory settings. Please help!

    Are you really running Windows 98? I sure hope not. :S
    I have noticed a few others with the same problem the past couple of weeks. Many of them were able to resolve the issue by doing a low level reformat of the iPod's flash storage using the instructions in this article.

  • IOS 7 put my phone in recovery mode and will not restore

    After updating to iOS 7, my iphone went into recovery mode and everytime I try and restore it, it errors out with an error code 9.  I have tried 2 different cords and 2 different computers and it will not restore.  HELP    Not sure what to do from here and the nearest Apple store is 200 miles away.

    Hi all,
    Bit of background so I don't waste anyone's time:
    IPhone 4s, itunes 11.1 (both on computer and iphone)
    I too am stuck in this recovery loop. I've read all over the community and have tried the suggestions:
    I put my phone in DFU mode & also recovery mode (a.e. hold home/sleep button down for 10 seconds, etc., etc., etc.) and tried restoring this way 10 different times, as some posts say it sometimes works after the 4-5 try but still no results.
    On my Iphone Screen the apple logo appears and the status bar below it gets stuck about 2/3 of the way, then I get the following error message, "could not restore because of unknown error (1)".
    I set up an appt. at the apple store for tomorrow, but holy sh*t what a fiasco!
    Any suggestions?

    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201412

    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.

  • Please help, iPhone 5 stuck in recovery mode and will not update.

    I tried to update my girlfriend's iPhone 5 (AT&T) from 6.1.2 to 7.0.4 last night and something went wrong so of course I had backed it up so I put the phone into recovery mode and attempted to completely restore it and then restore from back-up (or at least that was my plan) but the problem is that once I got it in recovery mode and started the update it froze mid-update (Not a computer problem, I have a rMBP 2013, 2.3 ghz i7 & 16GB ram) so after about 30 minutes of watching it at the same spot I unplugged it and attempted to start over. Now everytime I attempt to update it it tries to re-download the software and once it gets completely downloaded it says it was corrupted during the download. I have also attempted to download the IPSW manunally and update that way and it now gets partially through the update and throws an error message. I have tried to use tinyumbrella to kick it out of recovery mode and it does not work either. I am out of options, I have no idea what else to do. I aplogize for my ****** grammar and sentence structure I am flustered and haven't taken the time to proofread it.

    FIRST, edit your hosts file (which was corrupted by the jailbreak process) and remove any references to gs.apple.com; delete the whole lines and save the file. If you don't know how to do this you will have to get help, and it shows that jailbreaking was a bigger mistake than you thought.
    Next, connect to a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub and disconnect all USB devices that consume power or bandwidth (like USB drives).
    Put it into DFU mode to restore. With the phone disconnected hold HOME and SLEEP until a black screen appears. Immediately release SLEEP and continue holding HOME. While holding connect to iTunes and continue holding. After a while (perhaps several minutes) iTunes should recognize the phone. When it does release the HOME button and hope for the best.
