Well, if you want or need help, it would be a good idea to start with telling us what those errors are. We're not mind readers.

As Niel states you can use your current iWorks.
If you want the latest version you will need to purchase the componets in the Mac App Store.

By "sos mode" do you mean recovery mode? If so, you have to connect it to iTunes and restore it.

My ipod touch wont restore and its stuck in recovery mode

I have an Ipod touch 2g mc model and it started having problems. it crashed often when playing games (i even restart it after installs), it restarted when i went on to the internet and got SUPER slow, so tried restoring it. it got to the point where it said "Preparing the ipod for Restore" and then it said "unkown error occurred(1603). and its been stuck in recovery mode for a long time now and i cant get it out no matter what i do. How do i leave recovery mode a different way? please respond.
p.s. ive had multiple errors but my most recent one has been 1603. and now it keeps saying 1603.

My Dad just fixed my problem! He used blackra1n. at first it dint work but then he saved it to documents and then put it into the Local Disk thingy, then he clicked on it, clicked the Make It Rain button, and it took like 20-30 minutes or maybe less while it was saying Running. Then finally my ipod turned back on! it didnt lose anything! like, Nothing at all was lost. so yah, that was pretty cool.

Can't get my phone to restore and is stuck in recovery mode

I have the latest version of itunes and for some reason it everytime i try to restore it, it gets to just about the end of the process then says that an unknown error stopped the restore process (error 1015)
can someone please help!

I couldn't wait any longer as it wouldn't get out of recovery mode from either my iMac or my macbook pro, so I just ended up making a genius appointment.
The first time this happened, the genius told me to create a brand new admin account in my computer to see if it would clear up any issues with the syncing, but that didn't help when I tried it.
Yesterday the genius told me that I would just have to do a clean wipe on my imac and making sure to select "archive" when doing the clean install. He said it's most likely something on the computer and not with the iPhone since this is my second iphone replacement and the same thing keeps happening.
If you come across with a better solution than wiping the computer, please post it here.
Thanks,

Iphone4s was charging and now stuck in recovery mode and wont restore

can anyone help (with ways to fix this issue other than the 1's ive already tred) I was charging my phone and when i went to get off off charge it was dead and only displayed the itunes connect image. I have tried to restore it and when i connect it to itunes it displays this message 'itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. you must restore ths iphone before it can be used with itunes' so i tried to restore it may times now but get so far and then have an error message. Ive had error 1611, error 21 error 1611 again and error 21 a further 4 times. I have also been to the apple store and made an appointment with the so called geniuis people however after 4 and a half hours waiting to be seen did they take my phone out the back then over 15 mins later the chap dealing with me came back saying ' WHEN DID YOU HAVE A NEW SCREEN FITTED' I replied 2/3 months ago as i dropped it on my table and the screen cracked so i took it to a phone repair shop and paid £105 to have it replaced and my phone was working fine after I wasnt aware that the warranty covered you for a cracked screen that you was caused because you dropped it accedentaly etc.... well any way tghe chap then said ' I can t help you any further as you need to go back to the shop who changed the screen and get them to resolve this isssue. I asked how on earth can a new sceen fitted cause my phone to go in to recovry mode (2/3 months after the screen was replaced mind) the reply i got was ' Its not my issue its out of my hands........' I was more than tamping, raging fuming leaving there as no advice was given to rectifiy the issue i have with my phone. The following morning i went straight to the shop that replaired/replaced my cracked screen and told them what apple had said to me and that i was to come back to yourselves as you need to rectify the issue? to say the repair guy was baffled is an understatement but in fairness at least he tried to help me and attempted to restore it on itunes 6 times in total and changed the battery to a brnd new 1 plus checked the charging port to make sure this was not faulty. after all his help he was still baffled as to why apple felt its his fault after replacing a cracked screen as the error codes being displayed clearly were a software issue not an issue caused by replacing the crakced sceen'
I was more than happy to pay apple and charges to fix my phone based on the fact my warranty was now null and void (which is pathetic as the replacement screen was an apple origianl replacement screen it was just fitted by someone else whom is qualifed to do so) but wasnt even given the option to pay for any repairs etc.....they simply blamed someone else and offer me no further help.
so a week later after this first hapen to my phone whilst on charge and i still in the same boat and have run out of things to try (which was all found by using google as apple support secton is a load of fresh air and doenst actually give you the info and help your need.
Im grateful of any help that can be offered.

Sorted it now, took it to Apple store and explained etc. was nothing could do but restore the phone. Was told to make sure itunes on PC was up-to-date version before updating iphone which could have caused the error.

HT1339 iPod Nano will not restore and is stuck in Recovery Mode.

The iPod Software is up to date (as is iTunes itself), and I recieve the following message after clicking "Restore iPod..." and supposedly restoring it:-
"iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes."
Attempting to restore it again (by clicking "Okay" on the dialog box and then "Restore iPod..." in iTunes) will repeat the above ad infinitum.

In some cases, the iPod might get into a state in which the battery needs to be drained before it can be reset so try these steps.
1. Disconnect iPod from all power sources and leave it disconnected for about 24 hours.
2. Reconnect iPod to the Apple iPod Power Adapter or the computer and reset it.

HT201210 my iphone is locked up "in recovery mode" need help unlocking

My iPhone 4s won't restore and is stuck in recovery mode

Hello everyone in the apple community
I recently purchased an iPhone 4s and I set it up via iCloud and it worked later when I arrived home after going with my dad for a party my iPhone would not start it was in recovery mode so I tried putting it in iTunes and starting restoring it then after it was 75% done it rebooted and iTunes says "the iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored an unknown error occurred (1) so I tried again but still no luck and I also tried putting it in dfu mode but still no luck. I don't think it has been jail broken because I don't know anything about jail breaking .
Could anyone please help me?

I have been frustrated with several issues:
1) Smart Playlist not syncing correct (not matching iTunes library)
2) Songs staying on my iPhone and iPad that should be coming off. Songs that should be going on not.
3) iPhone and iPad filled with OTHER (amber) taking up space on the phone/pad.
4) iPhone and iPad continually getting stuck on last Step during syncing.
5) Neither would Restore. Get stuck on last step of download and then give a timed-out error.
Here's what I did and it seems to have worked.
By the way, I have had no problems with my iPod Classic.
To fix:
1) Make sure you sync and back up your iPhone/iPad (even though it's not been fully correct).
2) Make sure you back up to iClould (this is key). If you don't use iCloud, sign up. It's free. Otherwise you will lose all that is saved to your device. I did lose some photos, so email yourself any that you just would cry if you lost).
3) I have my device checked with SYNC THIS DEVICE...OVER WI-FI (although I don't think it has any affect on these steps).
4) Go to SETTINGS>GENERAL>RESET>ERASE ALL CONTENT AND SETTINGS
5) It'll make sure you really want to do this and you will have to enter any password on the device.
6) It takes a few seconds to clear. It'll then reset.
7) Follow instructions on the device (same ones you did when you first got it). During set-up, turn iCloud on with Apple ID. Once you go through the set-up, the device should have some Apps that come free and it should have no content.
8) Connect to your iMac (not sure if this will work with a PC, but should).
9) Set up as new device (I did not want to restore from what I had because I didn't want to put back the same problems).
10) Select the Apps, Music, Podcasts, Photos, etc that you want on your iPhone/iPad. This step takes time because you will have to arrange the apps on the page you want and reselect the items you want on the device.
11) Sync/Apply. This will take some time if you have a lot of items.
12) After the sync is complete. Disconnect from the iMac and go to Settings. You'll want to reset (how you want them) the Notificiation Center, Sounds, Wallpaper, add your email, etc. If your Contacts and Calendar are connected to your email address (Outlook), they will all come back once your email is set back up.
13) There, likely, will be some small adjusments you will want to make (custom ringtones, time to lock-screen, etc) that you will make as you go. These are minor.
14) I did these steps the other day. Played the iPod all day today (over 100 tracks affecting many Smart Playlist). Came home, synced the iPod (no problems as normal); synced the iPhone and then the iPad and both synced fast and accurate. What a change :-)
Hope this helps! Time will tell.

IPhone 4s: upgrade from ios 5.1 to ios 6 failed and phone stuck in recovery mode

I am on a Macbook OS 10.7.5. iTuens 10.7.
This afternoon I plugged in my iPhone 4S and started the upgrade process from iOS 5.1 to iOS 6.
The update process failed at some point and now I am stuck with only the "Restore" option in iTunes.
The frightening thing is that I am not sure if my data is backed up (most importantly my photos).
I had not done a backup in a while, but when I go to Library/Application Support/MobileSync/ and look at the backup folders, there is a backup in there from today around the same time I started the update, and the size is close to 9GB.
Is this my iPhone's backup before the update was processed? Does iTunes / Apple backup before the upgrade process automatically? Am I safe to restore from here or do I risk losing my data? Anything else I can do try?
I'm in the process of upgrading to the latest iPhoto so I can at least get some of the photos that were backed up in there before it maxed out.
Very very frustrating experience ... remember to back up before you upgrade, especially if you're over a wireless network!

if pictures are your main concern, but you have icloud activated on your phone and computer, then they should be backed up on your computer. If the only option you have is to "restore", then go ahead and do it and you should hopefully get the option to restore that backup that you spoke about, after itunes installs ios6 to your iphone.
