If your phone is in recovery mode, it's too late to save anything. Data is already gone.

I have an iPhone 4S and never had a problem with syncing it. But suddenly, when I connected my phone to my mac, it says that its in recovery mode, and I need to restore it in order to sync. I've updated both my phone and my itunes, and it didnt work.Help?

that only makes it say its synced, when its not.
No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

my playlists wont show up on the phone.
Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

What does that have to do with syncing content to the device? FYI, nothing. -
Tried to update, screen said verifying update. then said to plug into itunes. itunes (on home PC) said ipad was in recovery mode and I need to restore to factory settings to move ahead, losing all my stuff. Obviously traumatic. Do I do this? why did this happen?
The best way to backup your iPad is the way that makes the most sense in your situation and the way that works best for you. There is no hard and fast answer. But since you asked .....
I prefer using iTunes because I don't have to worry about having enough space available in iCloud. You are allotted 5GB of space with the free iCloud account, but that is really not that much storage space at all. You can purchase more space, but IMO, its crazy to pay for cloud storage if you have your own computer. On top of that, you have more control when you use your computer. You can backup the content on your computer in order to have backups of backups. You can't do that with iCloud. Another disadvantage to using iCloud is that you always need to be connected to WiFi in order to backup to iCloud. Not everybody always has access to WiFi every minute of every day.
Read this and see if it helps you make your decision. If you have more questions, post again and ask.

I can't use word because a box keeps popping up saying that it can't find the spell check files?
I open Word and there is a pop-up message saying that word cannot start the spelling checker because the files may be missing and to make sure that the spell checker files are installed or use the Microsoft installer to install spell checker. I have never had this problem with Word before and spell check has always been fine. What should I do?
Since word is made by Microsoft you should post your question on their own forums for their Mac software as Apple Communities only provide support for Apple products:

Attempting to update Iphone. It gave me a picture that looks like it wants me to attatch the phone to the computer with my itunes. Noe itunes is tellime me my phone is in recovery mode and wants me to restore my phone before it can be used with itunes. should i do this? will I loose all my pictures/contacts/songs?
You don't have a choice. Anything that was on the phone is already gone. hopefully, you've been backing up on a regular basis. If you had iCloud backups turned on, the backups should be automatic.

i started to update my iphone 4, and in the middle of the update, an icon popped up saying that "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. you must restore this iPhone before it can be sued with iTunes."
I really cannot lose the data on my phone. i foolishly did not back up everything ecause there was a previous problem i had with icloud and i needed to delete all of my icloud accounts accept for my contacts.
WHat would i lose if i restored it? and do i need to restore it?
is there another way? if there is, i definetely do not need the update. someone please help me.First, in iTunes, launch Preferences and go to the Devices tab. Check the date and time of the last backup. If it is recent you can restore it. However, if you mean you have the photos back in your Camera Roll then the backup was already restored. To get your music and apps back it should just be necessary to click "Sync".

ipod will not turn on, itunes will not open, window pops up says ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. what do i do now?
You restore the iPod via iTunes. Don't plug the iPod in. Open up iTunes and then plug it in and then try restoring, if it fails to restore a few times, keep trying. I do it on a daily basis, you're using an Apple product, remember...
EDIT: Do it from another computer if all else fails. -

My iPhone 4 will not turn on. When I plug it into Itunes it says it is n recovery mode. I try to restore it and the error code code 3194. I have tried all the steps what now?
It is usually given as a communication error between Apple, iTunes (your computer), iPhone. Somewhere they are not communicating, so the iOS you are trying to install cannot be approved by Apple. Trouble shooting steps include, making sure you have Current iTunes installed, make sure your Hosts file of computer is not blocking Apple. Try restoring on another computer.

hi, i had to restore my ipod 5G and it says its in recovery mode and its saying ipod software downloading but when its done it says it timed out i tried like 5 times what should i do
Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer -
My iPhone 4 will not turn on, when I plug it into my computer and load up iTunes its in recovery mode and the only option is to restore my device to factory settings, I have no back up of my phone I've also tried the home/sleep button thing but nothing, I have literally done every method I was told, I checked for water damage and that's fine. I don't want to restore my phone or buy a new one or pay for repairs because that's wasting money when it could be a simple way to fix it. And yes, I've also tried charging it and turning it in. I really need some help with my phone
That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses

My iPhone 4s randomly went into recovery mode and I can't restore it with iTunes...what do I do?
Last night my iPhone randomly went into recovery mode on me. Just before I went to sleep a bunch of static lines appeared across the screen. The screen went dark and a few seconds later the Apple logo appeared. A few seconds later is disappeared. A few seconds later it came back. So on and so forth. I thought I had turned it off and was going to deal with it in the morning, but when I woke up the iPhone still just had the Apple logo going on and off again.
I've tried everything today. All the different button hold methods out there. I've tried to sync it to iTunes but the same **** keeps happening over and over again.
A message pops up saying "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." So I press OK. Then I press the "Restore iPhone..." button on iTunes. It asks me if I'm sure I want to "restore it to the factory settings" and I click "Restore and Update". It then says that its "extracting software", "preparing the iphone to restore", "waiting for the iphone", then "verifying iphone restore with Apple". As this is going on the "connect to iTunes" sign is shown on the screen of the iPhone. When the "waiting for the iPhone" part starts, my screen goes black, then the apple logo pops up. The "verifying iphone restore with apple" comes on the iTunes and the status bar appears underneath the Apple logo on my phone's screen. It sits there for a couple of seconds with no progress and then the screen goes black. Then iTunes has the same **** message saying "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be resotred. An unknown error occured (9)."
I've gone through this process countless times in the past few hours and have done everything that apple support has told me. The windows system is fully updated. So is the iTunes. I've restarted the computer. I have no idea whats wrong and its making my blood boil.
A couple of notes about the phone:
It's over a year old. It's never had water damage. It was nearing the max capacity of its internal storage. This has never happened before. I keep it in an Otter Box. I had very little problems with the phone. Lately a couple of apps like snapchat and the barstool sports app were taking a little longer to open up or would randomly close out and sometimes my camera would take a while to get going. But this problem is just ridiculous and completely rendered the phone useless.Hello Sean,
It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
