How can I get my phone out of restoration mode without losing my pictures?

I was trying to back-up my phone on my new laptop, but it somehow disconnected itself, so it went into recovery mode. I was wondering if there was any way of either getting it out of recovery mode, or restoring it, without losing all the pictures I have on it? I did not have my icloud on for my picture roll, so that's out of the question.

There is a safe boot on a Mac but I have never heard of anything like that on an iPad.
If you are referring to restore mode where the iPad displays a USB connector and iTunes then the data on the iPad is already gone and you might as well connect it up to your computer and restore so that it works.

  • How can I get my phone out of restore repair without restoring it?

    I hooked my phone to my computer to download songs. I didn't download the newest version of iTunes on my computer. Then I decided to update my phone to the newest IOS, thinking I would fix some bugs on my phone. My phone started updating and closed up. After 20 minutes, I look back on iTunes and realize that my phone cannot update because I did not update the newest version of iTunes to my computer. My phone is now locked up and I cannot turn it on or get it to work or anything, all it tells me is to hook it to iTunes. When I do, it says my phone is on "Restore repair" and I need to restore my phone. I really really really do not wish to restore because I do not want to lose precious photos and videos from all my concerts and shows I've been to, they mean so much to me and I have been meaning to take them off but haven't gotten around to do so. My phone is the only place that has them all that I'm aware of. I'm not a 100% sure if my phone backs up automatically onto my computer.
    I'm just really scared I will lose my photos and videos and don't want to restore.
    Any way I can get my phone unlocked without restoring?

    If your phone is in recovery mode and is asking you to restore it, all data on it are already gone.  You MUST restore. 

  • How can I get my ipad out of recovery mode without losing all of my data

    I plugged my ipad into my laptop to charge, it went into recovery mode, I cannot lose my data.  How can I save my data and get out of recovery mode?

    Unplug it from your laptop and try a reset:
    Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
    If it goes back into Recovery Mode then unfortunately your data is already lost.
    Restore from your iCloud or iTunes backup.
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

  • HT201263 If I restore my iPhone to the original settings and it says it will erase my media what does that refer to?  Can I get my phone out of recovery mode without erasing my pictures?

       I will literally cry for the rest of my life if these pictures get deleted forever and I wont risk it.

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • How can I get my iPhone out of landscape mode and back to portrait?

    How can I get my iPhone out of landscape mode and back to portrait? Tilting the phone doesn't work.

    Try following - 1 by 1:-
    * make sure portrait lock is not on & try turning on/off several times
    * turn off mobile and turned it back on
    * hard reset by pressing lock and home at same time
    If problem persist, you need to try following but be careful since the following impact your iphone.
    * resetting all setting: this will reset all settings of your iphone back to factory setting
    * resetting all setting by erasing all data: this will reset all setting and erase all data so do back-up and proper syncing and read relevant details
    * restoring from itunes: this will also erase all data and take mobile back to day 1
    last 3 options are last resort and only be done if you are sure you can restore your data.
    Please don't hold me responsible for any data loss while doing last 3 options
    Cheers!

    It's impossible to say exactly why it went into recovery mode. To get it out, plug it into your computer running iTunes and restore it.

    If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.
