  • "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes."

    Went on a Vegas trip on Sept
    11th.  My iPad worked fine
    before getting on the plane. In the hotel about 48hrs later I opened my iPad it
    read the message: “iPad is disabled,
    connect to iTunes.”
    To my knowledge myself, nor anyone else has tried to access my device or
    entered the password incorrectly 3 or more times.
    I started by updating my iTunes account on my computer to the latest version.
    Then multiple times I attempted
    the “Use recovery mode”
    steps.
    e.g.
    1. Turn off your device and leave it off.
    2. Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes.
    3. Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB
    cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes
    screen.
    I received the message on my computer saying “iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.”
    I click the “Restore iPad” button.
    During which time the progress bar on my computer’s iTunes
    screen was moving very slowly and other times seemed like it wasn’t moving at
    all. I would leave my two devices and attached by the cable and upon returning
    I would find that the process would have ended before it had completed.
    Initially I thought it was a connections issue because I was in remote
    locations with slow internet servers. Since being home I have re-attempted the
    process and have been able to fully complete the forced recovery but I will
    receive a message saying:
    “The 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.”
    What recycle bin is the message referring to? Obviously I CANNOT access any
    data on the iPad itself. Just for the **** of it, I did empty my computers
    recycle bin and re-attempted the forced recovery process but as I suspected it
    did nothing for the iPad and I still received the same message: “The iPad
    could not be restored. The disk you are attempting to …”
    Please help

  • HT4623 iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes

    I downloaded the update because why not. I then turned my iPad on and get the iTunes logo and a lightning cable picture. I plugged the ipad into my computer and opened iTunes.
    The I got:
    "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes"
    When I click restore it then says:
    "Are you sure you want to restore the iPad "iPad" to its factory settings? All your media and other data will be erased, and the newest version of the iPad software will be installed.
    iTunes will verify the resotre with Apple. After this process is complete, you will have the option to restore your contacts, calendars, messages and other settings."
    I don't want to lose my media. I was never told to make a back up, I was never told the update would be this difficult.
    Can I just revert back to how it was before?

    I thought okay, I'll just erase everything then. I get error 3004 when I try to restore.
    I've tried disabling my security software, updating iTunes, replacing my hosts file and using a third party software recovery tool. Nothing works. I never thought Apple would break my iPad with an update but they managed to.
    Any solutions?
    Thank you.

  • Message rcvd: iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.

    I plugged my iPad into an electrical outlet to charge it. It asked if I wanted to update. I replied yes. Now all that shows up on the screen is the image of the end of a charge cord that plugs into the iPad and an iTunes icon. Thinking that meant I should plug into the computer, I did so and got the message: iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes. I have done the restore, but want to know why this occured.

    There's no possible way anyone here could determine why this has happened to your own device as there could be one of of many possibilities.

  • HT201210 on my iPad I get an image of the USB connection and an arrow pointing to the itunes icon for a few seconds then it switches off.  connected  to itunes via USB get a message that itunes has detected an ipad in recovery mode must restore when i do

    When I havent got my ipad connected to a power supply I get an image on my ipad of the usb cable with an arrow pointing to a itunes icon and no matter what you try and do iyt stays on that for a few seconds and then switches off the ipad, connecting it through usb into itunes on my PC (XP) this image says on the screen but I get a message on itunes saying itunes has detected an ipad in recovery mode and mneeds to be restored - when I fire off the restore through itunes after a few minutes it comes back and says it cannot restore and give an error message 1603.  I have also repeated the process through my wife's laptop (Vista) and get the same situation -it is an 32GB Ipad 3 purchased last November -  any ideas ?

    Try and turn off iPad/iPod and proceed to step 3 of Recovery Mode.
    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • HT4623 After I downloaded iOS7 and my iPhone turned off I keep getting this message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." I dont wanna lose some stuff from my iPhone.

    After I downloaded iOS7 and my iPhone turned off I keep getting this message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." I dont wanna lose some stuff from my iPhone.

    During a normal install of iOS 7.0.6 this does not happen but something clearly went wrong in your installation.
    To fix this, connect to iTunes and restore to Factory. Hopefully your iPad will be working again and you can restore your iCloud backup during Setup.
