How to backup macbook in recovery mode?
My laptop is crashed. I've no backup. I can open it on recovey mode but cannot access to any of my data. I can see disk utility but i donot understand how to backup files from there. Before i format my laptop i need to backup few importnant files. Is there any way to backup files? I've external hard drive but no time capsule.
This is what I woud try. Swap in a new HDD into your MBP and see if you can install an OS via COMMAND R (or if your MBP came with installation disks, use those). If successful, attach the original HDD to the MBP via USB and see if you can access your user data.
Ciao.

How to backup MacBook Pro without AirPort Time Capsule or External hard drive
How to backup MacBook Pro without AirPort Time Capsule or External hard drive
This is crude but if you need a work around, just plug the USB drive directly into the iMac.. copy the files to it.. then plug it into the TC.
You also do not need to use the TC as an intermediary between your iMac and MBP.. just turn on sharing in the computer.. so you can directly copy files from one to the other.. Macs have public access directory preconfigured for each user account.
As far as mounting the TC..
In finder use Go, Connect to server.. and type.
AFP://TCname or TCipaddress
Where TCname is the actual name of the TC.. I strongly recommend you follow SMB network rules.. ie if your TC has a name like
Fred Blog's Time Capsule 2445566.
It is too long.. it has spaces and it has non-alphanumeric characters.
Shorten it to FredTC
No spaces no characters that are NOT alphanumeric.
TCIPaddress is simply the standard IP.
You can also use CIFS://TCname which according to the article forces the connection back to SMB1 rather than SMB2 which as usual is broken.
But I would definitely use AFP if possible. I cannot understand the decision to move to SMB as standard. -

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How I can access the recovery mode in my Toshiba laptop
Hello,
I want to know how I can enter the recovery mode in my Toshiba laptop A105
I lost the recovery CD, do I need to purchase it or download it !
Please help
Solved!
Go to Solution.Satellite A105-S2081
If you can locate a Windows XP installation CD (and a valid product key for activation), you can install it yourself and then add all the drivers and utilities here.
Otherwise, you're better off ordering recovery discs from a third-party. That will include preinstalled drivers and utilities, and Windows will be already activated.

How to restore ipad in recovery mode
I am trying to restore an iPad Gen 3 on IOS 6 using recovery mode but iTunes cannot find the backup file on my PC while the iPad is in recovery mode.
However, on my PC, iTunes shows that a backup exists when I say that I need to do a restore. The restore can't work due to the passcode being in place and not remembered. The iPad needs to be restored becausee the person forgot their passcode.
Any ideas?

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

HT201263 how to get out of recovery mode

How to Get iPhone Out of Recovery Mode
All the data on it is already lost if it is in recovery mode, you will have to restore it and when setting it up again at the end of the restore process your phone will restart and you will have to set it up again as you did when it was new. In the process you will be given the option to restore it from and iTunes or iCloud backup. If you have been backing up to iCloud choose that (be sure to plug your phone in to a wall charger as this will take hours to complete).
If you haven't been backing up to iCloud choose restore from iTunes backup, then restore from the backup you created the last time you synced your phone. If it won't restore in recovery mode by connecting it to iTunes you will have to try putting it in DFU mode to restore it. -
How do I boot into recovery mode with wireless keyboard
I am unable to boot into recovery mode using either cmd-R or holding down the alt key. How is it supposed to work?
Message was edited by: Niklas Brunberg (better title)I understand your concerns - I'm glad both of my machines are dual bootable (just in case) and I have my Snow Leopard install disks..... However, this is what Apple has decided, so we need to find the best way to deal with it. Personally, I've tested the recovery mode several times and, at least on my machine, it was not reliable (i.e. it wouldn't work - I tried it again and it did, but it spent more than an hour downloading the entire 4 GB installer again and then another 30 minutes installing it), and on a third try, I found that it had vanished because I had cloned by drive. When you clone, only your system is cloned, not the extra partition.
So, I've decided to rely on a) my bootable clones and b) a copy of the installer (.dmg) in case my clones fail. I don't feel comfortable relying on something that requires an internet connection and a full download to work. But, that works for me; you may want to take a different approach. -
How do you stop a recovery mode loop when it won't sync with the orignal itunes library?
My dad gave me his Ipod touch 4th generation and said if I could get it to work I can use it. I have tried to restore it with his itunes, it goes through the steps but when it is over it is still in recovery mode...I don't know what to do....
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.
