  • How do i get my iphone4 out of recovery mode?

    I attempted to update my iphone4 to the new update ios6 or whatever it is. It downloaded the new update and for some reason an error occurred and i had to restore it, so i thought yep okay righto. during the last stage of the restoring process ('restoring firmware') a popup comes up and says 'The iphone 'iphone' could not be restored. An unknown error has occured (-1).' So.. my iphone4 is stuck in recovery mode. I cant restore it to get it out of recovery mode.. So now it is just a complete brick.. Its been like this for 24hours and i have spent around 6 hours researching and playing around with it and i am now stumped, i spent an 1 on the phone to Apple and all they managed to solve was that there is a problem with the firmware. I have tried to restore it on another PC laptop and a Mac Desktop. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could please give me a soloution to fix this mess..

    Hello kazzi11,
    It sounds to me that your iPhone is already in recovery mode but when you connect it to iTunes the computer does not recognize it. If you have not already tried the steps in the following article to put the iPhone into into recovery mode, I would suggest that first. If the computer is not recognizing your iPhone when you go through the steps, be sure to follow the steps for Mac or steps for Windows link at the bottom of the article.

  • 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.

  • How can i get my phone out of recovery mode with out restoring it

    iphone 4 got stuck in recovery mode after updating it.

    You will need to restore your phone to get out of recovery mode, if you backup on a regular basis, then you can restore to that backup.

  • How come I can't get any sound out of my speakers

    I  have a mid 2011 iMac...can't get sound to come out of the speakers... It was working earlier today... I checked to make sure everything was connected and not muted... Thank you in advance for any help out there...

    Go step by step and test.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers / Headphones
        Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
    2. If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
        Try this even if you don’t see the red light.

  • How can i get my ipod out of recovery mode?

    i was uptaing the software on my ipod and it suddenly went into discovery mode, i went on youtube and tried everything and i am still unable to use it. can you help me?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT201210 How do I get my Iphone4 out of recovery mode if restoring the phone on numerous occasions does not work?

    I was attempting to do the newest IOS 7 update and halfway through the reboot my phone froze.  I attempted to restart the reboot by shutting the phone off but when it came back on it showed a USB cord with an arrow pointing to the itunes symbol.  When I plugged the phone in it stated that my phone was in recovery mode and needed to by restored.  When I attempted to restore the phone it "extracted data" for approximately 30 min and then stated the phone could not be found.  I tried this 4 separate times and took the phone to the local Verizon store who tried the same thing with the same results.  What do I do?

  • Can't get iPhone 4s out of recovery mode and always get error 40 during restore

    I tried updating to ios 6.1.2 and I left it for a while since I had to do some stuff. When I came back, my iPhone is in recovery mode and I can't get it to restore using itunes. I always get error 40. I tried restoring on a different pc but it's still a no go. Is it possible that this has something to do with the hardware? I've already looked up possible solutions but my iphone's still in recovery mode. I never had this phone opened nor did I attempt to jailbreak it or anything. I tried asking my carrier for assistance but they're charging me for repairs. The fee's pretty expensive.

  • TS3681 I cant get my iphone4 out of recovery mode? Have tried everything please help

    I was charging my phone overnight but his morning I aawoke to it being in recovery mode and I have tried all morning to get it out but after several attempts threw itunes it stops and claims I have come across and error 1 still cant fix the problem and need help

    That is typically indicates a hardware failure.
    Check for hardware issues
    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 alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • Can't get iphone 6 out of recovery mode

    I installed iphone 5s backup to iphone 6 using itunes. The backup was not complete and said I needed to update iphone 6 ios from 8.0.1 to 8.0.2. It was on the process of doing that when it stopped working. Now itunes doesn't recognize the phone and the phone is still in recovery mode.

    Adding to the issue; it got to a point that the phone showed a red screen. IT'S FIXED NOW.
    What I did: I used the iTunes in my mac rather than the iTunes in windows. (iTunes in windows didn't work for me because it was my work computer and it has a lot a security, preventing a successful restoration.) when I connected the iPhone to the mac it offered me two options, Update and Restore. I tried restore first. It was a process of 4 hours and in the end nothing good happen. Then I tried update, which got the phone out of its misery.
    P.S. I also tried ReiBoot. It really didn't show signs that it worked, but again the computer was recognizing the iPhone with an n/a Serial number. It could work for you, so if you want to try it here's the link http://iphone-data-recovery-software.blogspot.com/2014/09/iphone-ipad-ipod-stuck -on-plug-into-itunes-logo-after-ios-8-update.html.

    You may need to try this More than Once...
    Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
    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...
