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 to I get my phone out of recovery mode without resetting it to factory

    My phone is stuck in recovery mode. I'm just wondering if there is a way to get it out of recovery mode without resetting it to factory settings. I don't have any recent back-up available. There are alot of photos on my phone I would prefer not to lose by ressetting it back to factory.

    You don't. Once it's in recovery mode, anything that was on the phone is already gone.

  • 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.

  • 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 do you get iPod touch out of recovery mode?

    I've already tried the methods listed here and on Youtube, and this has happened before. I have a new iPod Touch 5 16GB and the latest iTunes. The first one I bought went into recovery mode right after updating it to the newest software at the time. I contacted apple support and they couldn't figure it out, so I had to return the iPod to Best Buy and order a new one. I was just trying to update to ios 8.2, and now it's stuck in recovery mode. It says there's an error where it can't be updated and needs to be restored to factory settings, but when I try to restore it, "The ipod "ipod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (3194)".

    Try:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                                                                                                                                  
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • 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 ?

  • 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?

  • How can you get your iPhone videos to compress to one video instead of 5 different frames?

    How can you get your iPhone videos to compree to one video instead of different frames

    It sounds like you to 5 separate videos. If you start recording, then stop it, then start it again, you will have 2 videos. Not 1. As for splicing them together, you will need a video editing package for your PC. I don't know if Windows Movie Maker (or whatever they're calling it now) can handle this or not. On a Mac, I'd say just use iMovie.
