HT1766 Can I back up in itunes if my phone is in recovery mode

I tried upgrading my os last night on my iphone and it went into recovery mode. Before I restore the factory settings I want to back up my phone but the device will not show in recovery mode. Is their anyway for me to back up my phone before restoring the factory setting while in recovery mode?

No.

  • Itunes says my phone is in recovery mode just after restoring it?

    My itunes always pops up automatically when I plug my phone in, and for the past 3 or 4 months it claims that my phone is in recovery mode everytime itunes opens. I have restored it countless times with no avail. My phone will turn back on completely restored and itunes will still state that my phone is in recovery mode. Meaning I cannot sync my phone whatsoever and it restores back to 7/29/2011 everytime. Any chance there is a solution to this?

    If it is in recovery mode the data is already lost. Restore it, hopefully there is a current backup, and move on with life.

  • Hi can anyone please help me! My I phone is in recovery mode i lost it and it was returned to me fully working. I ran an update and it shut down. I have loads of pics and vids of my little girls including my youngest counting to ten for the first time.

    Hi can anyone please help. My I Phone is in recovery mode. I have loads of pics and vids including my little girl counting to ten for the first time.
    Can I recover these files or have I lost them? I lost the phone last week and it was returned working but with an update to install I did this and it shut down.
    If anyone can please help I would be eternally in your debt I have loads of sentimental pctures in here but cant get to them.

    Sorry, but if it's in recovery mode, anything on the phone is already gone. If you had PhotoStream turned on, hopefully the photos will still be out there.
    You have no choice at this point but to restore from your last backup.

  • Can I back up if my iphone 4s has frozen in recovery mode?

  • Can I back up my iphone 4 while it is in recovery mode?

    I was trying to update my phone to ios7 and it got stuck in recovery mode. I don't have it backed up anywhere because my computer was unintentionally destroyed. Is there any way to back it up while it's in recovery mode on another computer? I can use a separate profile on my wife's computer, so I don't think getting it over written by another person's iTunes account will be a problem...

    If it's in Recovery mode it's usually too late to back it up. No harm in trying, but if it doesn't appear in iTunes the answer is no.
    Were you backing up to iCloud? If so you can restore from that.
    The upgrade instructions warn you to make a backup.

  • How can I back-up my Itunes library?

    I need to have my MAC (Snow Leopard) hard drive replaced.  How can I back up my iTunes Library?

    Just drag-copy the entire iTunes folder, presuming all your content is in that folder, to your backup device.

  • How can i back up my iTunes library if i want to uninstall it?

    how can i back up my iTunes library if i want to uninstall it?

    Quit iTunes.
    Locate your external hard drive.
    Mac: On the Desktop or Finder sidebar.
    Windows: In My Computer
    Drag the iTunes folder (backed up earlier) from your external hard drive to whatever location you desire on your internal hard drive. It is recommended that you choose the default location for the iTunes folder, which is:
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
    Windows Vista: \Users\username\My Music\
    Windows 7 or 8: \Users\username\Music\
    Open iTunes while holding down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows).
    In the resulting dialog, click the Choose Library button.
    Select the iTunes folder you just moved to the internal hard drive.
    Click Choose (Mac OS X) or Open (Windows) and then choose the iTunes Library file inside .
    After following these steps, iTunes will open and your iTunes Library will be restored.

  • How can I back up only iTunes and iPhoto to an external HDD

    How can I back up only iTunes and iPhoto, so I can reformat my computer and restore the files in these two programs?  I have an external, but its not big enough to create a time machine copy of my HDD.  I have an iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.  I am also running Windows 8 via Parallels and I would prefer to keep this partition in tact, but if thats not possible I'll re instal that program.  
    Some how Mackeeper and a couple other shady programs have been installed on my computer and what I want to do is reformat my computer. 

    You could drag the iPhoto and iTunes folders to the external drive and move them back later.
    However, it might be easier to just remove MacKeeper and other adware.
    See the post by John Galt in this thread about removing MacKeeper.

  • I updated my iPhone with the new update..and afterwards it turned off and instead of turning back on it tells me to plug it into iTunes..then iTunes tells me my phone is in recovery mode and I need to restore it..is there anything I can do w/o restoring?

    I updated my iPhone with the new update..and then it turned off...instead of turning back on it tells me to plug it into iTunes..and when I do iTunes tells me that my phone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored..is there anything I can do without restoring it?

    Same thing happened here ~ tech guy at a local authorized Apple repair store said it had something to do with improper backup from which the restore would be made. Still have a phone that asks to be connected to Itunes but won't do anything else . . . frustrated.

    If your phone is in recovery mode, then they are already gone.

  • HT4061 When proforming the new iPhone update I received an error message-iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.  You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.  If I choose to restore will i get everthing back.  Like my photos et

    When performing the new iPhone(IOS6) update I received an error message - iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.  You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.  Will I lose everything if it goes back to factory settings.  Right now my phone wont do anything.  It is just showing a cable, an arrow  and the iTunes logo.

    If you restore from backup.
    You should have made sure that everything was on your computer bef ore updating anyway.  Did you fail to do that?
    All pics taken with iphone should be imported to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any update/restore/etc.  Did you fail to do that?

  • How can I back up my iTune purchases to a disc

    How can i back up my iTune purchases to a disc?

    There used to be a feature to do this in iTunes but from what others have said it is gone in recent versions, probably because most people do not find it practicable to do it that way. New libraries tend to range in hte tens to hundreds of GB and backing up to 40 DVDs just isn't in the cards.  Get an external hard drive and use that to back up your whole ocmputer (including photos which you cannot download from anywhere).
    If you absolutely must back up to disc then you'll have to use a burn utility or Finder's burn to burn the iTunes folder contents in bits and pieces.

  • TS3274 Could any IPAD USER please advise how I can go back to the Itunes store/library from the movie, music, etc. page?  Only the options for movie/tv/music etc show at the bottom but nothing that will take me back to the side bar. PLEASE HELP, THANKS?

    Could any IPAD User please advise how I can go back to the Itunes/Library/Devices side bar from the music, tv, movies pages?  The only thing that shows at the bottom are the selections for music/movies/ etc.  Thanks

    You don't get a sidebar in the iTunes app on the iPad. Your downloaded and synced music, audiobooks and audio podcasts will be in the Music app and your videos and TV shows will be in the Videos app - the iTunes app on the iPad is just the iTunes store.
