Escape from "Recovery Mode"

One more time - after nearly completing the upgrade to os 4.2, iTunes announces it can't finish and is leaving me in "Recovery Mode." I can't find any instructions on how to get out. It would be great to save the data, but I would settle for a "restore." I just don't know how to get there. Of course, Device Manager now shows "Apple Mobile Device (recovery mode)" and iTunes can't find it - again! Help please.

thank you for thoses informations, but i can't switch on my phone. I only got the black screen and the itunes icon which means "please connect to itunes".
So i tried to connect to Itunes and i got a message to explain me all my files will be deleted after the recovery. Do you know how to escape from recovery mode while phone's switched off? Thanks, Helo003, France

I have restored and updated my ipod from recovery mode, however I still have the usb cord and itunes icon on the ipod when it is switched on. How can I get my ipod to work again? I have updated and restored 5 times! When connected to itunes it only shows the summary page saying ipod in recovery mode.

Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. 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.

TS3694 How do I restore my iPhone from recovery mode when I get an error 3194 message

I am trying, unsuccessfully, to restore my iPhone 4 from recovery mode. When I attempt to restore through iTunes I get a message telling me the process cannot be completed because of an error 3194. There is no documentation or information on what this error means - and how to restore the phone when this message appears. Can anyone help?

This usually means you previosly used an iPhone hacking utility such as tinyumbrella, altering the hosts file on your computer, and blocking access to the apple server, gs.apple.com.
"Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. FollowiTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service."

This error is generally exhibited when someone tries to downgrade iOS. See this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
This is the part you are looking for.
Errors related to downgrading iOS
The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed. Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

I'm trying to restore my ipod from recovery mode

When trying to restore my ipod touch from recovery mode, i keep getting an error message "unknown error (1611)" Please help!!!

- If the backup has a password (called encrypted backup) then you either have to remember password or correctly guess the passcode or set up the iPod as new.
- A fw other users have reported the same problem. Tyr using other passwords like your Apple ID PW:

An internet connection is required.

Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
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:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For without iTunes
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.

How to exit from recovery mode?

how to exit from recovery mode?

You could try a hard reset
- hold the home button and the sleep/wake button down at the same time
- the phone will turn off, when the apple logo appears release both buttons
More than likely after this you will still be in recovery mode. If so then you would need to restore the phone through itunes on a pc/mac.
Hope this helps

Reinstall from recovery mode downloads successfully but doesn't restart or install

I'm having tons of problems with my Macbook so I attempted to reinstall Mac OS X from recovery mode. I restarted my Macbook while holding down the option key. Then I selected the reinstall option. It downloads successfully, but then does nothing and goes back to the main recovery mode screen. I expected it to restart and reinstall, but it doesn't.
Am I totally screwed here?

Try starting in Safe Mode and see if the problems still occur?
Restart holding the "shift" key.
(Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)
If this is the case then there's no need to re-install and it won't matter because there's a problem(s) in your Home folder which won't be touched by the re-install. In any case, if it downloaded the installer may be be in your Applications folder as "Install Mac OS Mountain Lion"
If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items (-), you can always add them back with the (+). Also look in /Library/Startup Items. Nothing is put in that folder by default, so anything in there is yours.

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.
