Your statement
Don't worry about that. iPod stuck in recovery mode always happens when you update the iOS on your iPod. There are two ways to solve it.
Is wrong

Unless you have a backup from which you can restore, yes you will lose all of your data and settings.
You should be able to sync your content back to the iPad if you have been syncing with iTunes all along. If you don't sync with iTunes, you can download much of your paid content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. This explains downloading past purchases.

Unfortunately, at this point, you must restore the device before you can move on. There is nothing you can do to avoid it now.

You have to restore the iPod, no ifs, ands, or buts...
After iOS is installed you will be asked if you what to set it up as a new iPod or if you want to restore from a backup.
If you have a good backup you can restore that and you're good to go.
If you don't have a good backup, then you end up with a "clean" iPod....

IPod is in recovery mode, can't restore

Over the last week, my iPod has refused to wake after I've locked it. The only solution was to connect it to the mains and reset it. It has done this three times so far. I decided to restore my iPod in hopes of fixing the issue. I clicked the restore button in iTunes and was met with the following message:
"The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1600)."
I held down the reset buttons and the iPod once again connected to iTunes, which explained that the iPod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored before it can be used. I clicked the restore button, and I just got the same error message.
I'm running 3.1.2 (which has just been terribly buggy since 3.0) on my 1G touch and have Windows 7 64-bit.
Any suggestions??
Thanks

I'm glad I'm not alone. So far I have just tried restoring it over and over again. At one point I had success - the iPod booted and I could actually use it. iTunes then asked me if I wanted to set it up as a new iPod or restore from a backup. Obviously I chose restore from backup and the process started. At the end of the process I got an error message saying it couldn't be restored. I have had the errors 1600, 6, 13 and 2005.
When I hold the sleep/home buttons when connected to the PC iTunes recognises the iPod, but the screen of the iPod doesn't turn on unless I choose to restore. I can't use the iPod at all when it's disconnected from the PC.
I don't know what else to do. I think I might just buy a 3G one even though it's not really an improvement over the 2G.

HT4623 i restored my ipod but it keeps telling me that my ipod is in recovery mode and to restore it again.

I restored my ipod touch but when i connect it with itunes it hkeeps saying that my ipod is on recovery mode and have to restore it again. What should i 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.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPod stuck in recovery mode, won't restore, "Unknown Error 1430"

Hi, I have a 160gb iPod classic, and I've had minimal problems with it in the past. I can safely say that it's my favorite MP3 player out there. I did have one before that overheated or something like that, and I was given a replacement one. But, within a day of having this brand new iPod, I was listening to it at work and the music stopped all of the sudden. I pulled it out of my pocket and the screen had the Apple logo that you see when you restart it, only the background had blue, white, and gray on it, instead of the typical gray background. I restarted it and it told me to restore it with iTunes. After I connected it to my Mac, it told me it detected an iPod in recovery mode and that it needed to be restored. Anytime I click restore though, shortly after it extracts the software, it says it's restoring and then gives me an error message telling me it can't be restored. I got several numbers at first, and one error message telling me that it couldn't be unmounted, but now it's consistently giving me the Unknown Error 1430. I tried restoring on a PC, and formatting it as well, but neither worked. iTunes is up to date on both of them, and I've reinstalled it several times on each. I would rather not take it to the store to get it replaced again. Any help?

actually now that i think about about it. I shot harddrive makes sense.
I plug my ipod into the computer, itunes reconizes it as corruptted.
I go to my computer and click on the insertable disk. for my its name is (j): removable memory. But when i click on it, it says insert a dick into the drive..
so cant be a harddrive in it..

5c in recovery mode will not restore or update - iTunes is current version - Completely lost and very frustrated :o(

My phone lately has been searching for service constantly, I would say that 80%of my day my phone is searching for service. There was a software update for I think 8.1.2, my phone didn't have enough storage, so I tried to do it through iTunes, when I did that, I got the connect to iTunes screen and couldn't get past it. So now I have put my phone into recovery mode and have run into nothing but issues. One iTunes will not let me update the software, secondly I can't restore it, I get a pop up saying something that my device isn't recognized. I'm completely lost and frustrated Need some suggestions...

Hello sarmath,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that your iPhone is in recovery mode, and while trying to restore it in iTunes you are receiving an error message. While certainly a frustrating experience, there is troubleshooting you can do to get your iPhone back up in running order. Without a specific error message, the article below is where you can start. If possible, please provide the exact error message you receive when trying to restore your iPhone so I can give you some more in depth help.

HT201263 my iphone 4 went into recovery mode & will not restore. Unknown error 21 comes up on iTunes. Please can someone offer any ideas for a solution?

I have an iphone 4 nearly 2 yrs old. It has worked perfectly for that time. On Friday last (whilst away on holiday) I took the phone out of my pocket & it was lifeless. I tried switching it on, no joy, I tried the power/home button reset no joy. I plugged it into a mains charger & it came on but had a banner across the screen saying "verification required". I removed the charger & decided I would try again when I got home so I could connect to my PC & iTunes.
At home I went through the whole above process again but when I plugged it into the mains again it just had the Apple logo going on/off repeatedly. I plugged the phone into my PC & the apple logo appeared followed by the "connect to iTunes". In iTunes I get the banner "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes". So I click on "OK" the "Restore" then a banner asking if I'm sure I want to restopre the iPhone appears, press "Restore & Update". iTunes starts to remove the software, veryfies it with Apple & then another flag "The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (21) which appears to be a security issue.
I thought the above problem was something to do with O2 because I picked up my new iPhone 4S last Tuesday but was unable to set it up until I got back from my holiday, O2 say it isn't anything they've done.
My question is has it happened to anyone & can anybody offer a solution, is it a hardware or software issue?

Black Screen, unable to come out of recovery mode, will not restore. Uhh...

Okay. So my phone has a completely black screen, and will not turn on or off. When I connect it to iTunes, it says it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode, and it must be restored. I attempt to restore it, and it goes through the entire restoration process (all the while with a totally black screen), and a window pops up that says that it was successfully restored, and to leave it plugged in, this message will close in 3,2,1.... and as soon as the window disappears, the process starts all over, with iTunes exclaiming that it noticed an iPhone in recovery mode, would I like to restore it?
I've tried basically everything there is to try, about eighteen thousand times a piece. This is really the worst possible time for my phone to break down, as I'm in the middle of a really important internship (which necessitates use of my phone), and I can't really get to an apple store.
HELLLLLLPPPPP MEEEEEEEE.

Did you check your security software settings, to allow iTunes to contact Apple during the process?

Iphone 3gs stuck in recovery mode, will not restore or update error 36

As the title states, I have a 3gs stuck in recovery mode. Sort of worked earlier today, been having trouble with the battery draining fast/not holding charge goes into recovery mode on its own at times. Have been able to force it out of recovery in the past but now it is just showing a USB cable going into an iTunes logo. I can't get it to restore/update and before it got stuck it would not update or restore either. Before you ask, I have no idea what iOS I have, this **** thing didn't start messing up until I plugged it into my computer.

Update: I have uninstalled and re-downloaded iTunes, Tried with a different computer, tried with a different iTunes account. None of these did anything for me. I have no idea what to do next, nearest apple store is more than an hour away.

My iphon5 is in recovery mode. will I lose all my pics and videos, if i restore it?

My iPhone5 is in recovery mode and itunes is asking to restore it. Will I lose all my photos and videos if I do so?
Thanks!

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...
