Can you backup in recovery mode?

Since I'm a moron I forgot my passcode for my ipod.
I figured I'd just back it up and restore it, since I don't wanna lose all my stuff. But now my ipod is in recovery mode and it says my only option would be to restore it, but I don't have my ipod backed up and I'd lose everything - pictures, notes, apps - omg.
omg omg.
What should I do now?

Yes, you loose everything. Sorry, but there is no way to make a backup now - you really should have been backing up regularly all along, in case something (like this) happened.
All you can do now is restore as new and start over again.
Anything you have purchased from iTunes (apps, music) can be re-downloaded after it is restored.

Do you have a computer with iTunes ...If not you will need to ask someone else to allow you to use theirs. If you are near an Apple Store they will help.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

Backup in recovery mode

My iPhone randomly popped up with a "connect to iTunes" error message. I haven't backed up recently so I don't want to loose all my recent data. Is there a way to back it up while it's in this "recovery" mode?
Thanks

No, there is not. That's why its important to sync on a regular basis, as the first thing done when you sync is a backup. The only thing you can do in recovery mode is restore your phone as a new device & resync your itunes content or restore from your last backup.

I have an ipod touch 4 and i forgot my passcode. When you go into recovery mode does it wipe everything on your ipod? I need a response, I'm hopeless.

Yesterday I changed my passcode for my iPod touch 4 and I forgot it like a minute later! I have tried everything and I can't remember the passcode! I tried to backup my IPod onto ITunes but I need my passcode for that! I really really want to keep my photos and progress on apps! I saw a video online about recovery mode. I really want to know if it wipes your IPod! What is the purpose of recovery mode?!!? Does it wipe your device?!?!
Thanks!

Placing the iPod in Recovery mode, required for your case. erases the iPod. That is how it works.

I can't recover from "recovery mode" what do I do?

One day I attempted to turn on my iPad and a black screen should up and the little iTubes symbol pops up with a picture of a cable pointed towards the symbol.
So I attempted to hook it up to my computer to connect to iTunes. I figured this was because I was supposed to update my iPad to the newest version but was procrastinating. So I figured this was why my iPad wasn't working.
I connect my iPad and iTunes won't even recognize that the iPad was connected.
My iTunes also wasn't working because it was 2-3 versions behind. So I went through this whole ordeal, I ended up having to completly delete and reinstall iTunes to get it to work. Finally I got version 11.2.2.3 install up and running.
I connect my iPad 2 again and an error pops up saying:
"iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes."
ok. So that's the problem, my iPad 2 is in "Recovery Mode"
So I go ahead and click the Restore button and it starts to download "iPad Software Update" which is a 1.06GB download.
It downloads and gets to varying download percentages. The farthest it's gotten is 65.7MB out of 1.06GB. And it downloads super super slow. Starts off at an Est Download Time of 1 hour all the way up to 10 hours. I have a fast computer and good connection, I don't know the exact time of a regular large download, but I know that I've downloaded movies well over 2GB in an hour or less.
Intermittantly the download will pause and it will give me the same error message as before: "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes."
All I have to do is hit OK and resume download. But eventually, another error will pop up which will end the download:
"There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad "iPad". An unknown error occurred (9006)
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later."
And that will be it. If I try to resume the download after that last error message, the download will start from the beginning.
So as of right now, I have a $800 paper weight. And Apple wants me to pay them just to talk to someone.
How the heck do I get my iPad 2 out of recovery mode!!!!
Here is some info on my iPad if it helps.
iPad 2 64GB WiFi 3G
Model A1397 EMC 2424

1.Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
2.Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
3.Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
4.When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
5.Use iTunes to restore your device.
Additional Information:
If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself. If you want a faster way to solve iPad Stuck in Recovery Mode, try iPad data recovery software.

Can someone explain what recovery mode and dfu mode are?

title says it all.

The main difference between DFU mode and Recovery mode is the iBoot bootloader. iBoot tells the iPhone/iPod touch/iPad what to do when it turns on, eg. load up iOS version whatever (for me, still 4.2.6 on my Verizon iPhone). When you upgrade your device's firmware, it goes into recovery mode.That way, iBoot can make sure you're flashing into a firmware that's equal to or greater than the current version of firmware you have installed. When you enter DFU mode, there isn't this limitation, so you can flash any version of iPhone OS/iOS that you want, provided the device is compatible with it and Apple is still signing for it.
If this answered your question, tell me. If it didn't, well, tell me and I'll add more!
Hope I helped!

How to backup from recovery mode.

I have a 2009 Macbook pro which will not start up. One day I turned it on, but will not get past the Apple loading page. Since then, I have tried everything to solve this except formatting and reinstalling. Before I do this, I would like to back up the contents of the hard drive (they havn't been backed up before) to a time capsule.
How can I go about doing this? I can open disk utility in recovery mode, but the time capsule doesn't appear (when plugged in with both usb and ethernet). Why isnt time capsule appearning in disk utility and how can I backup my HD?

Once an iOS device is in recovery mode there is no way to back up anything on the device. The best plan is to regularly back up photos and data in the event something happens.

Why can't I access recovery mode?

My iMac (2010, i3, 10.8.2) began running sluggishly last night. My sone turned it off and now I can't even boot into recovery mode. I have the Apple logo and the loading circle showing. Earlier attempts to access internet recovery and recovery resulted in a frozen screen. I'm beginning to think the hard drive is shot,even though I hear it spinning.

You didn't state how your attempting to boot into Recovery mode, if you haven't tried the following then please do:
When you hear the start up tone, hold down the OPTION key until you can choose the Recovery Partition. If your system can't see it then there is a fair chance you have a damaged HD. Do you happen to also run MS Windows on your machine in Boot Camp, if so then you may have another issue and will need to post in the Boot Camp forum.

How can I backup or recovery a essbase app database?

Can some body give me some the step to backup and recovery a database ?
Many thanks.

Simon,
Let me explain you in detail
1. We take the backup of the application/Database ( for example , application ABC).
2. The backup copy of ABC application is in tapes or any backup devices ( depends on your company).
3. Now, if your application/database i.e ABC got corrupted ,or for some reason ,your ABC application is nor more working . Drop it .
4. You dont have ABC now ,as you had dropped it . Use the back up copy of ABC ,which you had taken before .With the help of your company recovery policy , recover your application/database .
5. If you are recovering on different essbase server , you need to make it sure that the drives in which your essbase database files were residing , it has to be the same
I.e before you had dropped your database , if your C drive had application related files like otl,esm,...etc and D drive had pag and ind files ,and E drive had only pag files ..etc . It has to be the same ,even after recovery. The drive letters play a role
and also your recovered database names should be ABC,after its up and running , you can rename as per your requirement
Hope this clarifies

How do you stop a recovery mode loop when it won't sync with the orignal itunes library?

My dad gave me his Ipod touch 4th generation and said if I could get it to work I can use it. I have tried to restore it with his itunes, it goes through the steps but when it is over it is still in recovery mode...I don't know what to do....

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.
