How do I get my iPod touch 5 out of recovery mode without deleting everything?

So I tried to update IOS 8 today, but it made me update the other one…"IOS 7.1.2" so I did. Then my iPod shut off and went to the screen that says plug into iTunes. I plugged it into iTunes and it said that it was in "Recovery Mode" and that it could not be updated. I tried doing it again & now the screen is just the iTunes symbol with the plug. Can someone help me please? Or do I need to go to the Apple Store to get it fixed?

If one of these programs will not kick the iPod out of recovery mode you will have to restore via iTunes:

    Been trying all night to sort out but just going around in circles

    I have not seen a solution for that error but try:

  • How do i get my ipod touch out of recovery mode

    i originally had all of my music & apps on itunes on our computer, but our computer broke. so i connected my ipod touch to our macbook and updated to the new itunes, then backed up my ipod onto the mac. after that, i synced my apps onto the mac but i don't think i synced any of my songs (unless it automatically already did that when i backed it up?) i couldn't find my songs anyway since i don't really know how to use the new itunes ... then i tried updating to iOS 6 but it had some error and said it was error 6. on my ipod, i can't do anything because it tells me to connect to itunes. but when i connect my ipod to itunes, it says my ipod's in recovery mode and i need to restore it. i don't want to restore it and lose all of my apps, photos and songs. how do i get out of recovery mode?

  • How to get an ipod touch out of recovery mode.

    I want to get my iPod Touch out of recover mode and i don't know how I got into it.
    All that happened was that my iPod Touch ran out of battery, so I plugged it into my MacBook and when it turned on I just got the Connect to iTunes screen.
    I tried turning it off and then on again but to no effect.
    I also tried holding down the Home and Power button until the apple logo shows up then release but that still did not work.
    What should I do to get it out of recovery mode without restoring??

    If re-starting the AMDS driver doesn't work, you can try removing iTunes and AMDS, then re-installing iTunes (which will re-install AMDS).
    If that doesn't work, try putting the Touch into DFU mode. You kind of mentioned it above where you held the buttons down while connected to iTunes, but it didn't sound exactly correct and it can be a little tricky to get the timing down.
    While having the Touch connected to the computer (and iTunes running) hold the Sleep and Home buttons until the Touch screen goes black (about 10 seconds). When that happens release only the Sleep button -- keep holding the Home button until iTunes says it found a device in recovery mode. At that point you release the Home button and will have to Restore the device, and you can try re-loading your last backup after the Restore process completes.

  • How can I get my iPod Touch out of Recovery?

    I've had my iPod Touch 4G for almost five months now. Since my laptop is very slow, I just buy all of my music and apps on my iPod. I actually take the time to transfer everything about once a month. Yesterday I was going to transfer my purchased items from iPod to computer, since I skipped transferring for two months. While I let my computer start up, I checked Facebook on my iPod. Since I had just changed my password Facebook said it was logging me out, but it was taking a bit longer than usual. I decided just to delete and re-download the app. While it was re-downloading, I checked the weather and my whole iPod froze. I clicked the home button multiple times, with no success, so I held the sleep/wake button and home button until the Apple icon showed (that's what I normally do when it freezes). However, the icon stayed on for five minutes. The screen then flashed white, black, and the Apple icon came back on. About a minute later, the screen showed "Connect to iTunes". I connected it, and iTunes said it was in recovery mode and I would have to restore it. It makes me sick to know that I was just about to transfer all of my purchases/photos to my computer, but now everything is gone. Is there any way I can get out of recovery and save everything? Thanks in advance.

    Is there any way I can get out of recovery
    Sorry, but no.
    Most important word in computing. "Backup"...
    Check iTunes / Preferences - Devices. If you have a backup stored there, you may be in luck.
    Otherwise, it's a restore.

  • How do you get your iPhone 5 out of recovery mode without restoring it?

    I plugged in my phone and tried to update it to iOS 7.1.1 but something happened and it told me to plug my phone into itunes and restore it.
    I have an iPhone 5, it's not jail broken.
    I haven't gotten the chance to backup on phone on my new laptop yet so I have no way of getting all my photos and contacts back.
    Please help!

    There is no way to recover your content if you have no backups and once it is in recovery mode it is too late to back it up. Are you sure you didn't set it to back up automatically to iCloud as prompted when you first set it up? How about the backup from your previous computer?

  • How do i get my ipod touch out of the 'recovery loop'?

    Ipod touch is in recovery mode.  When plugged into PC it has the display indicating that it needs to be connected to iTunes.  When it gets connected to iTunes it does appear as a device there.  ITunes requires the iPod to be restored, and in the restore process it get error message 1604.  When I go through the steps for 1604 I get the same result over and over again.  What do I need to do to break this loop and restore my iPod?

    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.

  • How do I get my iPhone 4S out of Recovery Mode w/o restoring? (got stuck when upgrading to ios 7)

    Last night I upgraded my iPhone 4S to ios 7, and this morning when I went to use it I was stuck in Recovery Mode - How do I get my iPhone 4S out of it w/o restoring? I have photos, contacts, etc  Iwant to get off the phone. I tried Tiny Umbrella and RecBoot but no dice. I was not able to get any help from the Apple tech on the phone. They only suggestions offered were to check to see if iPhoto or the Finder would show my device so I could copy over my photos.
    Thanks, Chad

    See: Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
    That error usually means that your computer antivirus is blocking the update.
    It can also mean that your phone was jailbroken, or your computer was used to jailbreak some iOS device in the past.

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • How do i get my iphone 5 out of recovery mode after trying to install ios 7

    Alright, so i tried to install ios 7 and i got an error saying that the ios 7 update got a problem and so then my phone went into recovery mode. i installed tiny umbrella to get it out of recovery and it worked, so then i tried to install ios 7 again and it got another error this time my phone had already been switched to the ios 7 format but was not completely done, so my phone went into recovery mode again. so i tried tiny umbrella again and it just kept going back to recovery mode. i tried to restore my phone after trying to look for another way to get my phone out of recovery mode and i got nothing so i decided to restore my phone and i then get another freaking error saying that itunes could not restore due to a problem, then i just decided to try tiny umbrella one last time and it didnt work. so i tried to restore again but now my phone is not being detected on itunes so i cant do anything, and my phone is stuck in recovery mode... all i was trying to do is get the new update and now my phone is dead, it wont do anything please help!!

    Use tinyumbrella. Connect your iphone, click on the random string of numbers that appears in the recover devices window, and click "exit recovery". That solved my problem, and it may solve yours. Give it a shot.
