Exit recovery

I was accidentally entered recovery mode, although I purchased osx 10.8 for some reason when i sign in my apple id it does not allo nothing and just returns to the sign in screen. I would like to just use my computer i didnt mean to enter this and i do not need to reinstall my osx is there a way to bypass this screen and go back to my normal functions? 

You can exit this mode by choosing "Restart" from the Apple menu. If the system keeps on going to this mode, then choose "Startup Disk" from the Apple menu and select your normal boot disk (it should have your OS version listed next to its name). After doing this, click the restart button, and you should be good to go.
If the system still goes to recovery mode, then you may need to use the OS reinstall option to make the hard drive bootable again. This will not affect your installed programs, data, and settings, and will only replace the operating system software underneath everything.

  • How to exit recovery mode for ipod touch 4g

    My ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode and so far, the only way to exit recovery mode is to restore it. I have not backed up my photos on the ipod because I usually charge it using a wall charger rather than connecting it to iTunes. There is over 4,000 priceless photos that I do NOT want to lose on that iPod. How do I exit recovery mode without restoring the iPod?

    If this program will not get the iPod out of recovery mode

  • IPhone won't exit recovery mode/ keeps saying "connect to iTunes"

    I recently updated my iPhone 6 plus to iOS 8.2 everything was going fine, I was able to download the new iOS. I was updating the phone when suddenly iTunes informed me that I had to restore the phone in order for it to be updated. I gladly did. And then after a while, iTunes informed me again that the device could not be found (or something like that, "like the computer can't find the iPhone"). And it went into recovery mode. It just kept showing "connect to iTunes" on the screen. I have tried restaring and reseting the phone but it comes back to the "connect to iTunes" (even though it is connected) and when I try to restore it again, the same thing happens. It's stuck in recovery mode and I can't use the phone. What should I do?
    A friend of mine told me that I should not have updated to iOS 8.2 right away because it still has some bugs (?). And that this is the reason why I couldn't get past the recovery mode. Is this true? Any insight would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

    Ooops sorry about that. It must've been 8.1.2 then? I honestly don't remember.. I wasn't paying attention when I updated since I regularly do it for my iPad, other phones. Anyway, whatever is the latest version of the iOS, it got me stuck in recovery mode.
    really sorry about the 8.2 Info

  • Can't exit Recovery Mode

    Hello,
    So 2 days ago I was charging my iPhone 5C, and after I plug it out from the charger, it showed me that it's on Recovery Mode...
    I connect it on iTunes, clicked Restore iPhone, but in the end it pops up an error: "The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occured (9)."
    What do I have to do?
    Thank you.

    Hello GDTS,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone 5c.  I found an article with steps to take when getting specific errors when restoring an iPhone.
    The following section addresses error 9:
    Configure your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.

  • Unable to exit Recovery Mode/Firmware Problem/Portable Device not detec

    Well. A veritable catalogue of errors, to be fair.
    In attempting to solve my truncated WMA file issue of yesterday, I decided to install the upgrade to MTP Firmware 2.00.2. It crashed during the transfer, but since my Micro's music library was wiped in the process (as promised), I concluded that the installation had, in fact, been successful.
    However, WMP0 suddenly couldn't detect the Micro. No matter what I did. Ah, I thought, the Firmware installation didn't work after all. So, following the advice on this forum, I entered Recovery Mode and attempted to delete/reload the new Firmware via the recovery menu.
    'Deleting Firmware', declared a little pop-up, chirpily. Then 'Update Firmware Now'. I tried re-running the Firmware update installer, but the Micro was still not detected. So I tried a reboot via the recovery menu, only to receive a 'Firmware Problem' message. I knew that. <EM>That's</EM> why I was trying to re-load the firmware. But how can I when the Micro isn't detected, and. . . . Vicious circle.
    Please help. I have my Micro boxed and ready to send back to Amazon, but if there's a walk-through solution anyone can give me, I'd rather not return this little begger (I've become rather attached to it).
    Regards, and thanks in advance.

    Just spoken to Noel on the UK Support helpline, and he suggested restoring <EM>my PC</EM> back to yesterday's config in order to get it to recognise the Micro as a portable device.

    I have the exact same problem and the agent on the line told me the exact same thing,it didn't work.

  • Cannot exit recovery mode

    Moved the AppleTV with 3.01 to use with another TV, but now it won't start anymore. It always goes to Recovery Mode after letting me choose language and resolution. Factory restore doesn't work, and the middle option says nothing's wrong. What shall I do?

    remove all cables and leave them disconnected for 5 minutes.
    connect and try a factory restore again.

  • IPhone 4 won't exit recovery mode

    Error 14. Tried updating iTunes, MacBook, used different ports and cords. Also tried in guest account. It happen when I tried to update to iOS 7.0.3, but the update stopped half way through and won't do anything now. I've tried deleting the update data and re-downloading it but didn't help so I'm assuming hardware problem..
    Advice?

    Sounds to me like it was probably jailbroken. Do you know if it was? If so, try to get your money back as it will most likely never work again.

  • 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.
