How to get ipod out of recovery mode

I have an ipod 1st generation (I think).  It wouldn't access itunes because it needed an update.  I installed itunes on my laptop and tried to run the update.  It freaked the ipod out so that it is stuck in recovery mode, and itunes is not able to restore it.  I have watched several videos, but nothing is working.  Please help..

What happens when you try to restore via iTunes? Error message? have you tried another computer and cable?

    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! I plugged it into the exact same computer I always do. Somehow when itunes opened though it acted like it was a new program...when it wasnt.

  • Losing hope on being able to get ipod out of recovery mode.

    I have tried evrything I have found to do. Disable firewall and antivirus, watched multiple tutorial videos on how to get it out of recovery mode, tried(and failed) DFU mode. Just  nohing seems to work. I coninue to get errors when I try to contact update servers, and when I don't get the errors at first and it begins to update and restore, it'll get partially through, then give me an error. I just want my iPod back. It's been 3 long boring days of trying to do the same thing. Please help, anyone.

  • 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 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.

  • Helping getting ipod out of recovery mode

    i was updating my ipod touch to iOS 4.3 and it said there was an error at the end, and now my ipod is in recovery mode. itunes is telling me to restore it. i dont want to loose my data because if i restore i will loose everything. is there a way to save my settings???
    Message was edited by: ice Queam

    The first part of an update is that itunes makes a backup like it normally does during syncing. You can find the date of the backup by going to the Device tab in iTunes' Preferences. If other items that are not in the backup like music and video, all you have to do is to restore from backup and sync,

  • 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.

    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.

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

    It tells me to connect my ipod to itunes and when i do i says i need to restore and update my ipod so i click the button that says restore and update and within a few seconds it says error. I cannot get it out of recovery mode no matter how much i try or do.

    Maybe:
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • I tried to update my ipod touch software update by syncing with itunes and now its in recovery mode?  Is it possible to get it out of recovery mode?  if so, then how?

    I tried to update my ipod touch software by syncing with itunes and it put the ipod into "recovery mode".  Seems like the only option is to restore?  Is there a way to get it out of recovery mode?

    No.
    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • 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.
