I have done everything but, When i try to take it out of recovery mode as shown it puts it right back in recovery mode. This is a very annoying. Please Help Me
When your phone is in recovery mode, it's like it crashed. The only way that you can get it out of recovery mode is by restoring, and this erases all your data as well.
You can believe what you wish by "reading all over the internet". This is Apple's technical support forum. We do know what we're talking about.
since you have very important photos on your phone, why haven't you been importing them to your computer as soon as possible after taking them? This is how the phone is meant to be used. Keeping critical data on only a device which can be easily stolen, dropped and broken is just plain foolish. Also, did you not back up your phone (as you should be doing with any computer) before attempting any operating system update? As you've now just painfully learned, updates do not always go as planned.
I'm sorry for your data loss, but let this be a very important lesson. BTW, when was the last time you backed up your computer? I'm sure you have important data on your computer. Hard drives WILL fail.

i bought osx lion for download but I cannot find where it is on the app store. i currently have 10.5.8 so I dont know if that has something to do with it.
You cannot use Lion until you have upgraded to 10.6.8:
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
You received a coupon you can use and redeem on the App Store to download Lion. There is no App Store in Leopard. -
Iphone stuck in recovery mode trying to update
I was attempting to update to the new ios 8. I did this all in the normal way as i usually do. When it got to the extracting software at the top of the itunes screen it took about 1 hour for this to nearly reach the end. then just before it reached the end it stopped and said it could not be restored as the iphone could not be found. now the iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode and every time i connect it to itunes it says i need restore which i do and then the same thing keeps happening. it goes to extracting software bar for an hour and then stops just as it is about to finish.
i have a laptop with windows xp and have installed latest itunes, i have attempted rebooting everything with no joy.
please help.
iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4Follow exactly what I wrote below to fix iPhone stuck in recovery mode:
Hold both power button & home button for 10 seconds.
Once the device shuts off release the power button and keep holding the home button for 10 more seconds.
The screen will remain black, plug it up to iTunes and see if it detects it.
If that does not work hold both buttons to make device shut down, once screen is off hold the home button while plugging it up to PC.
Do not let go of home button till recovery screen shows up on your device. -

my iphone 5s got stuck in recovery mode once I updated it to IOS 7.1.2 and everything I do wont help. What should I do?
Hello NoahLovesYou
Try putting your iPhone into recovery mode and try to restore it again. If it gives you an error while it is restoring in iTunes, check the error against the second article for additional help.

Ipod 4G stuck in recovery mode. Wont update!
I just bought a 4G ipod touch and adding songs, and left the room and my little sister hit the restore button in itunes and now its stuck in recovery mode and wont update. Itunes tells me: "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes."
I hit recovery and it gets past the recovery part to verify ipod restore. Which looked like the last step i get an error: The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred(9)
I have tried everything..
I am using windows 7 and i just updated itunes. Usb is updates as well.
I have a $300 ipod and its not working.
HELP!I have nearly the same problem!
I had to wait over 1 month to get my ipod touch and when it was there, i couldn't syncronise it over iTunes. so i decided to restore it and it stuck in the progress...
so i released the usb-cabel and my iPod Touch 4g came in the recovery mode..
and now it always stucks, when i try to restore it. i don't even get an error from iTunes..
what can i do? i didn't do anything wrong!
I'm also a little bit disappointed of apple, because it says, that i can't return a defective device online! The next apple store is a two hour drive away and it's not sure, that they can really help me. i also don't know, if my ipod is really defective!!! -
Help!!! Ipod stuck in recovery mode!!
My IPod touch (4th generation 8G) is stuck in recovery mode. When I try to restore it ITunes says that an error (1604) has occurred. I have tried switching USB ports and using different cables but nothing works!! And sometimes ITunes doesn't even recognise that my IPod is plugged in, I know it is because my computer makes the noise that means something is plugged in!! Please help!!!
Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

I have an iphone 4s that used to be jailbroken but I want to restore it (cause I want to update ios). It was stuck on a recovery loop but it died eventually. I plugged it up and waited 30 minutes but when I came back it was still black and wont turn on. I plugged it to my computer and it told me it is stuck in recovery mode and the only way to fix it is to restore it. So when it was only aproximently 95% done it said that the disk had a problem. When I try to restore it again it says the same message. What do I do!!!?
What disk had a problem, and what was the exact verbiage of the error? For a phone that has been jailbroken, it is very difficult to remove the jailbreak, so it may not work. Also, the discussion of jailbroken devices is not allowed here on the forum. You'll need the exact error to get help.

I did an IOS update and now my iPad is stuck in recovery mode and I can't get it out. I have tried to restore through iTunes, but after restore it says it is still in recovery mode. Please help!
Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

Frustrated and ready to give up- Stuck on Recovery mode every attempted update
Monday night, I fearfully plugged my phone into my PC after I updated to the new ITunes. (And freshly installed Icloud).
I had hopes of backing up my phone so in case of issues- i would not loose everything.
I say fearfully plugged in because in November- the last Iphone IOS software update- I plugged my phone in to my computer and it got stuck in Recovery mode. It would not let me Restore. I continued to get error 1604.
So, I switched and plugged my phone into my husbands computer and finally - after about 7 hours - it Restored back to factory.
Now...Monday night, I was optimistic. "Maybe what happened before was a fluke."
NOPE!
Same thing. Same song. And apples genius tech support for the NWT, is via phone only (Really...really smart. Especially when your only phone is a brick stuck in recovery mode).
I tried everything. Holding home/off button. Uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. Using EVERY different USB port the computer had. Rebooted. Reglogged. Reset the computer to the daybefore .
Now. I am sitting again with no photos. no videos. nothing. And I am fearfull to plug my phone in again to attempt to throw music on to it. (Guess ill be working out to the tunes of music in my head).
Am I doing something wrong?
Has this happened before to someone: where every single time you plug your phone in to do an update/back it up on itunes...it gets stuck in recovery mode.Per http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1604

If you tried all this and it did not work, but it did work on a different computer, then there is something wrong with your computer. Your computer isn't going to magically fix itself in between iOS version updates. -

IPhone stuck in recovery mode after failed update.
Hi, I have a bad situation here... My iPhone 5 got stuck in recovery mode after I tried to update to iOS 7.1.1 from 7.0.4 and it failed (error code 6). If this was my iPod touch I would just restore it because all I have is music, but this iPhone has all my sisters graduation photos, important photos, important school documents, contacts, app data, videos from concerts. Etc. I was wondering if I could get the photos off the phone before restoring it, because they are important. I know I should've backed up my photos and made a backup of the phone, but I've been really busy with a lot of stuff. So I was just wondering if there is any way to get the photos and app data back. The app data doesn't really matter but the photos do. The device was not jailbroken or hacked in any way.
If you could help, tell me ASAP.

Ipad 2 stuck in recovery mode after io6 update
I have waited for months to update to io6 because I have been busy, and now that I have, I'm stuck in recovery mode giving me a (-1) error. Some say that's a hardware error, but it can't be because it coincided with the update to ios6. Here's what I've tried:
Rebooting everything
Tried to recover from mac.
Tried to recover from windows.
Tried to recover using different router without wifi.
Placed in DFU mode.
Did hard reset.
Tried to hard reset with uplugging cord during download then reattaching.
Tried tiny umbrella.
Tried using different cord.
Have the latest version of Itunes.
Went into terminal and deleted file after # that some kid on you tube said to do.
I'm at my end of searching. Any suggestions???? I know it can't be hardware because it did this immediatly following the ios 6 update. Thanks,When you do an iOS update certain parts of the hardware are used that aren't normally used. If these fail then you can get an error (-1). The error occurs not because of the content of iOS 6 but the update process itself.
If you can't get out of recovery mode with all that you have tried then your iPad likely has a hardware problem and needs replacement. Hopefully you are still under warranty.
