HT1766 iOS7 update help - recovery mode

Hello,
I updated my iphone 4 today to iOS7.  I'm now in recovery mode.  When connected to itunes, it says I have to restart my phone.  I'm afraid to do this because it says I will lose my data....lose all my photos!!  Or am I too late, have I already lost my photos?  I'm a new iphone user and pretty upset that before installing the update it did not warn me to back up files, that they would be deleted.  Is there anyway I can back up my photos before I get out of recovery mode?  I had some very precious photos on my phone that mean a lot to me.  Thank you for you help.

Once the iPhone is in Recovery mode, personal data is lost, unless backed up in iTunes or iCloud.
Did not mention which iPhone and iOS on it !

  • IPad went into recovery mode by itself during/after ios7 update. help please.

    My ipad went into recovery mode during or after the ios7 update. i forgot to back up my files and now i need the notes from it. i am unsure if they are syncd to my gmail but i am not syncd to icloud. is there anyway to get my files back?
    i have tried using all sorts of programs like redsn0w and tinyumbrella to try and kick it out of recovery mode. But every time i try and get out it just loops back to the itunes and cable logo. is there anyway i can get out without restoring and or losing the files inside the ipad. or is there a way to access the files while in recovery mode. thanks in advance or the help.

    I have experienced a similar error with the iPhone 4S.  The new version of iTunes will not let me restore the phone, it must be updated and nothing appears to be happening.  Suffice it to say I am not amused.  Apple needs to work this out - I had trouble updating to 8.0.2 as well.

  • [HELP] Recovery Mode Loop - iPhone 5

    Dear all,
    Kindly help me. I'm trying to exit this ***ty Recovery Mode Loop. It is driving me crazy.
    Here is the story:
    Yesterday, I was updating my iDevices to the latest 6.1 iOS. When I tried to update my Mom's iPhone, suddenly, the iTunes sync logo appeard.
    I synced it with iTunes, and it gave me this message: "Your iphone is in Recovery Mode",
    I clicked "Restore iPhone"
    But after I had downloaded the latest update, the iPhone doesn't want to restore.
    I tried to Power it off, but it brings me back to the Recovery mode continuosly.
    It was never jailbroken (as there is no jailbreak for iPhone 5) + I have looked thru google but found nothing that helps!
    I tried (iREB and iRecovery and TinyUmbrella) all of them failed at putting the iPhone back to the normal state or to DFU mode.
    HELP!
    Thanks.

    Hi there nxtbardi,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below. If you used a computer to initiate the update, there is a possibility that the device created a backup before updating.

  • IOS 7.0.2 update and "Recovery Mode"

    I recently updated to iOS 7.0.2 on my iPad. While downloading, an error occurred and my iPad was said to be in "Recovery Mode" and had to be restored. Could it be hacked or damaged? Further more, can any iPhone, iPod, or iPad get be infected if not jailbroken?

    Currently there's no known virus affecting iPad as long as you don't Jailbreak your iPad.

  • Iphone 4s off during software update in recovery mode. Normal?

    My iphone4S crashed during the latest software update.  I tried rebooting.  Now itunes is completing a software update before it can restore.  However, my iPhone is off.  Nothing on the screen no matter what I press.  Is this normal?  I am too afraid to unplug it from the computer.  The software update needs 3 hours. I briefly had the itunes/usb logo but it went away the minute itunes started the download.  Any advice?

    Thank you! Thank you! I was about to spend forever on hold for Apple support to help get me out of airplane mode! I forgot I was in airplane mode when I started updating the phone to 2.1.
    Thanks so much for saving me a needless call!

  • IOS7 update help needed

    I attempted to update from iOS 6 to iOS 7 had no problems downloading the update until it froze on the screen with only an apple and the loading bar.  To remedy this I factory restored my iPhone 5 and downloaded iOS 7 from iTunes.  Now I can make it through the setup stages until the activation screen where it reads "Your iPhone could could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached.  Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes."  So I tried to connect my phone to iTunes (the current version) and it reads "We could not complete your iTunes store request the network connection was lost.  There was an error in the iTunes store.  Please try agian later."  This has been happening for a couple hours,  also I am in full range of my home wifi and have no problems with my internet connection.  Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.

    I am having the exact same issue, except I had only just performed a restore ! F***ing rediculous from apple this

  • HT1766 iPhone is in recovery mode; how can I keep my iPhone contents (contact, mostly) if I didn't back it up to iCloud?

    I saw that iPhone was backed up when I synced music couple of days ago. I'm not sure if it was backed up entirely. My contacts are of utmost importance. Can I restore them?

    If you did a device backup through iTunes 11, then your contacts should be backed up

  • IPhone5 stuck in recovery mode during iOS7.0.6 update - no way to secure media?!

    Hi Apple,
    I have run your recent iOS7.0.6 update on my iPhone5 and it got stuck in the Apple logo + progress bar screen (N.B. I had no problems updating an iPadAir and iPhone4). To get it out of the update infinite loop (no pun intended!) I put it into recovery mode, i.e. pressed Power+Home buttons until I got the blue iTunes + USB cable screen. iTunes wants to restore the phone continuously and I cannot get it out of the recovery mode now to save my media. Do you have any suggestions?
    Many thanks!

    That is not very helpful, TJBUSMC1973.
    Is there really no way to get the media off the phone before restoring it?
    No, once the device in is recovery mode, there is really no way to get the media off of the phone.  However, perhaps you have an iCloud backup?  Check www.icloud.com and log in with your Apple ID & password to see fi you have any data there.
    Other than that, you'd have to independently research third-party data recovery processes that may or may not be helpful.  But since those are not approved by Apple, we can't make any recommendations.
    The device has effectively 'crashed'.  That's why you can't get the data.  Other than the third party options I mentioned, all your Apple-authorized options have been explained.

  • I tried to download iOS7 to my iPhone 4, it put my phone into recovery mode and every time I try to restore it, it says it failed? HELP

    I have an iPhone 4, I tried to download iOS 7 from iTunes tonight. I made sure my iTunes was up to date and everything, and while it was downloading iOS7 my screen went black and the iTunes symbol with the USB cord popped up onto it and in my iTunes tab, it said that it detected an iPhone in recovery mode and to restore/update it. I've tried it twice already, resetting my laptop twice and I don't know what to do someone please help!
