Can you retrieve data when stuck in recovery mode

Curious if you can reset an iPod touch 4th gen to get data backed up before you restore?  Daughters iPod is stuck on the screen that shows the USB cable and the iTunes logo.  When I plug it in, iTunes detects it & only gives me the option to restore to factory settings and that I will lose the content.  2yrs worth of video and pics of her baby sister is going to be hard to lose if no other way around...

See if one of these program will kick it out of recovery mode:

  • Any way to avoid Restoring phone when stuck in Recovery mode?

    I connected to my PC to update my iPhone 4. It gave me a message saying "unknown error 21 occurred--could not update iPhone." Now it is stuck in recovery mode and I don't want to erase all my phone and start again. Somebody pleeeeeeeeeease help! Why is it doing this?

    Thanks, guys, for taking the time to offer suggestions. After about 24 hours of frustration, rebooting, repeated attempts to Restore, and toggling back and forth between Run As Administrator, I was finally able to update, Restore, and I now have my phone back! I'm sure there is a simpler way to avoid these problems; maybe some day I'll learn them! Thanks

  • Can you retrieve data from a sync-deleted app

    I just plugged my iphone into my computer and lo and behold the subsequent sync" sucked a random grip-load of my apps off of my phone, without me asking it to do so.
    All the apps are backed up in my itunes and re-loaded easily enough. However, I had a bunch of data forms in an app called Documents 2—data I had entered for my work. Can I get that data back? I pulled the only .ipa file for that app out of the trash, which was from the iphone os update I did a couple of months ago (after which, that app was still working just fine and the data was still there.
    The app is back on my phone but no saved documents. Wantsezes … …
    I also lost most of my text message archive on a text-free app--anything that precedes three days ago, 2 days before the capricious app-suck occurred.

    Unfortunately it's probably gone.  You could try a 3rd party program like PhoneView (mac) or Touchcopy (windows) to look at your phone to see if there's any app data left but you probably won't find any.

  • Can you reset instead of restore after recovery mode?

    Earlier this evening I finally decided to update my iPhone to the 5.1.1 software. However after it freezing slightly it appeared to update normally and requested to plug into iTunes. On doing this the "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery" message appeared and asked me to restore. However I have recently been on holidays and hadn't had chance to back them up to my laptop yet and I understand that by restoring you lose all data that isn't backed up. Is there any possible ways of saving my photo's any help would be much appreciated as I am completely useless with technology!!

    when you plug in your phone to your computer, do you not see a autorun box, that ask you to view folders or contents in your phone.  then you can import your pics to your PC.  Take a look at the link

  • Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. Any suggestions please?

    Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. I DO NOT have any back ups on itunes. Is there anyway to get out of recovery mode without restoring or recover data after a restore?
    Or any other suggestions please? Thanks

    As pdroth said, you should have gotten a backup made when you started the update of iOS. If you cannot find a backup, and the phone is in recovery mode, there are no futher suggestions to make. To get the phone working again you have to restore. You cannot force a backup at this time since it is already in recovery mode. It will not allow anything else but a restore at this point.

    how do you reset an ipod touch when it is still stuck in recovery mode?

    Having the same problem. Plugged into the computer, iTunes doesn't connect to it. Plugged it into the wall and the low battery bar shows up but then it goes to the black/apple screen and stays there. The screen goes black and then when it pops back on again (on its own), the apple is still there. Won't hard restart either. Halp!

    This program may geit out of recovery mode.  However, if something went wrong with te iOS and it went inot recovery mode then it might not be able to get it out of recovery mode.  When in recovery mode the data is not accessable.

    How can you transfer data from one ipod to another ipod ?

    The geniusbar told me what to do, I understood but there is still a problem for me >:/ It's not showing up though. Like "device."  Nothing is happening, and I tried as soon as I got home. Then after half an hour, then an hour, then 3 hours. My problem is that it's not showing up! It's stuck in recovery mode! There's still like 25% battery. So I have no idea why.

  • Creative Zen Vision 30Gb Stuck in Recovery Mode, Freezes when trying to deal with Firmware

    My Zen Vision is stuck in Recovery Mode. The PC recognizes it but it comes up as 50mb Storage Media. When you touch Reload Firmware or Format All, it freezes and you have to pull the battery out to shut it off. I don't know what to do. Charges fine, never said anything about HARDWARE issues, just can't get it to not freeze when trying to load firmware back onto it.

    I did the same thing, my unit was working perfectly.
    I just read that these players have a laptop 2.5 hard dri've installed in the unit. If this is true, the next chance I get, I will take my unit apart (40 gig nomad zen xtra) and see if I can reinstall the firmware directly. It's probably what they do at the repair sho

  • IPod Touch stuck in recovery mode, error message 1611 when trying to restore.

    I bought a 2nd generation ipod touch from someone on CL and it appeared to me that it just needed to be plugged into the computer and be synced with itunes. But its stuck in recovery mode. When I plug it into my computer, itunes says it sees the ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. Sout t I click on restore and it tries to restore it, but then it stops in the process and gives me error message 1611. I looked up this error message and it has to do with system security. I messed with my security settings and I still get this message. I tried using my home computer instead of my laptop and it still gave me the same message. Ive also tried holding down the power and home button for several seconds and it still goes back to recovery and gives me the same error message when I try to restore it. Also, itunes recognizes my ipod, but my computer does not.. Can anyone help me? Do I just have to bring the ipod into an apple store and have them figure it out? Thanks in advance!

    Error 1611
    This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
