How could I get my iPad out of recovery mode without deleting all its data?

I updated my iPad 2 to iOS 7.1.2 or so while it was plugged into my laptop, which caused it to go into recovery mode. And it didn't back up anything at all. I tried TinyUmbrella and other tools, but it only seemed to restart the iPad and put it back into recovery mode, and I even tried hard-rebooting and it still is in recovery mode. Please help?

If it's in recovery mode then it's too late to take another backup or copy anything off it, you will need to reset back to factory defaults and then restore to your last backup. If you were updating via your computer's iTunes then it should have taken a backup as part of the update - what's the date of its latest backup in the Devices tab in Preferences on your computer's iTunes ?

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

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

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.

Is there a way to get iphone 4s out of recovery mode without restoring it?

i was just using my iphone 4s normally and it just froze randomly. i held down the power and home button like i usually do, because my phone freezes up on me somewhat often. i saw a "connect to itunes" screen that i have never seen before, and once i connected it to itunes, it said that it was in recovery mode and the only way i could use it is to restore it. problem: i don't want to lose everything on my phone! everytime i've tried to back it up something crashes so i've never been able to back it up, so if i restore it i've lost all my pictures for good. is there a way to get it out of recovery mode without restoring it? please help!

How do I take my iPod out of "Recovery Mode" without restoring to factory settings?

(iPod 4th Gen, Windows 7)
I hadn't synced my iPod touch for a long time, because just before Christmas, my antivirus stopped working on my laptop, and I got a virus. I was unable to do anything. Because of my circumstances, I wasn't able to get my computer back to normal until just about a week ago. During the time I didn't have access to my computer, I made a lot of purchases in the iTunes app.
Now that I have access to my computer again, I tried to sync my iPod. Since it had been a while, I needed to update it. Something must have happened during the update, but I don't know what. All I know is that now my iPod will only show the "Connect to iTunes" screen (so I can't use it at all), and when I connect to iTunes, it says my iPod is in "Recovery Mode." My purchases were not synced to my computer.
iTunes says to restore it, but I don't want to do that because I would lose all of the purchases I've made since Christmas. They weren't synced, so they would be wiped if I restored it, and only what is on my laptop would be re-synced.
Bottom line: is there a way to get my iPod to work again, without restoring it to factory settings? If not, then I spent all of that money in iTunes, and now what? I'm supposed to buy it again?
Thanks for taking the time to read this; I know it's long. I just wanted to make sure all of the details were there, because I've scoured the internet, and no one has a solution for this, other than wiping the slate clean, downloading a program from who-knows-where, with who-knows-what viruses attached to it, or jailbreaking. And those are not options.

Yu can try to use this program to get the iPOd out of recovery mode.
