How to get iPhone out of recovery mode?

OK, i need to get my phone out of recovery mode. The thing is, i do NOT want to restore my iPhone to factory settings, i have so much stuff on there like notes and calendar dates and text messages and contacts that i have put in since my last update. Is my only option to go ahead with the restore or is there another way to get my phone out of recovery mode? Is there a way to save my data?

I had exactly same problem and when I called apple i-phone support, she told me to select restore the phone but all the data should be in the i-phone backup and will not be deleted.
I followed her directions and I could restore my phone without deleting any of my stored musics, photos, and other info.
The tricky thing is after you click the restore, it showed the error message and you need to unplug your i-phone from the computer and restart your computer again. Then open the i-tune without connecting your i-phone. Once you open i-tune, connect your i-phone then restore again.
After restore the i-phone, it ask you to backup or set as new phone. Choose backup from your i-phone. Then all your data should be restored.
Whole process takes about half hour but all your data should be recovered from the i-phone backup folder.

    how do I get my iphone out of recovery mode - I have restored it over and over again.  it keeps telling me its in recovery mode.  how do I get it back to normal operating mode.

    Reset, can sometimes exit Recovery Mode if nothing is wrong with your iPhone. If there is problem only exit is to connect to iTunes and click the Update or Restore button that iTunes offers you.

  • How to get Iphone off of recovery mode

    Hi everyone!
    I'm in need of some help. My iphone 5s battery recetlenty died and I only charged it the next day. When I plugged it in, it showed the usual battery that is empty and red. I did'nt realize a problem until the screen turned white with que black apple on it. After that showed up, the screen just became black and I was unable to use my phone. I let it on the charger for a few hours and nothing changed. I then decided to plug it into my laptop. Once it appeared in itunes, something popped up saying that my iphone was on recovery mode. I'm not sure how to take it out of this mode, or even if it is possible. It told me to restore my iphone. Its has been doing an update for the past 2hrs. Can anyone please tell me what is happening and if it doesn't work is this problem covered on Apple Care? I've had this phone for a month and I'm not ready to pay another $700 to get a new one.
    Thank you anyone who is willing to give me a hand.

    Also, on itunes, it just told me I needed to do a software update which I just did 3hrs ago.

  • How to get ipad out of recovery mode?

    how do I get my ipad OUT of recovery mode.  i don't want anything deleted.

    If you are already in recovery mode, then your data is already lost. Your only option is to restore through iTunes then reload your most recent backup which you say was some time ago. This is why you need to backup everything at least once a week. Then when problems arise, you haven't lost a lot of information.

  • How to get phone out of recovery mode

    Hello.
    I have recently replaced my screen on my iPhone 4S. I have done many of these and have never had any issues. This time the screen wouldn't turn on so I tried a different screen but still no joy. I have plugged it into iTunes but it just tells me that the phone is in recovery mode. The screen is just black with nothing on it.
    Any help much appreciated

    Sounds like something went wrong when you replaced the screen. The iPhone is not user servicable.
    Find a competent repair shop or buy a new phone. You can no longer get that one serviced by Apple.
    It's a shame as it would have only cost you $199 to get the phone replaced by Apple if it was out of warranty...

  • How to get iPad out of recovery mode without restore?

    My iPad randomly went into recover mode when I was updating to the latest ios software, 7.1.2. I had already downloaded the update, and this happened while it was installingthe update. I had not backed up for a long time now, and I am getting really scared that I will lose everything. Can anyone PLEASE help me by guiding me to get my iPad up and running again without losing my data. After all, I have done nothing wrong here.

    All I did was plug in my ipod to update it to 6.1 and then it somehow got into recovery mode, and I don't want all my bookmarks and pictures to be erased!
