HT201210 iPad 3 update failed - Left in Recovery Mode

Hi All,
I tried to update my iPad 3 this morning whilst connected to iTunes and at the end of the download the installation failed and i got an error message saying that the iPad was now in recovery mode and needs to be restored.
When i connect the iPad to iTunes it recognises that the iPad is in recovery and asks if i'd to restore it, and when i click Restore and Update it takes a couple of minutes to extract the software then i get an error message saying "The iPad cannot be restored at this time because the iPad software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable"
What do i do now? The iPad is useless until i can sort it.
Thanks

Restore it through iTunes on your computer.

I made an update to my iPad and after the update it went to recovery mode. It wiped all of my apps off and now I can't add apps

When I try to add apps it doesn't do anything. I have connected to the computer to iTunes and it isn't syncing any of my apps to the iPad. I am not sure what else to try? I have turned the iPad off and restarted and nothing changed. I tried to download something from iTunes on the iPad and it isn't letting me.

Try a Reboot press & hold menu button & power button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you will not lose any data. But you may need to do this more than once. I never use PCs for software upgrades or downloads I always use wifi had no problems with iOS 8.1 B sydd

Have you tired starting all over again forcing the iPad into recovery mode? Turn off your firewall and antivirus software and see of you can start the process all over again. Quit iTunes and restart the computer before you try again.

IPad 2 that is stuck in recovery mode

I have an iPad 2 that is stuck in recovery mode from failing an update. It does not show up in iTunes or in My Computer but the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed and working properly. I plugged my iPhone up to the same computer and it works just fine.
I have tried everything I could find from all the forums and nothing has worked. Un-installed and re-installed iTunes, restarted Apple Mobile Device USB Driver, restarted the computer, held Home and Power buttons down.....I have no clue what else to do!
Can anyone help????

Hello Elliiee,
The steps detailed below can help stabilize your iPhone.
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

Update to 6.1.1 failed - stuck in recovery mode?

I am a Vodafone customer in the UK with an iPhone 4S. I didn't actually see the warning from Vodafone saying not to update to 6.1.0 and so went ahead and did it. I had no problems whatsoever, was working perfectly fine. I then saw the release of 6.1.1 and the advice from Vodafone to do it. I went ahead and did it Over The Air but it didn't complete. I got the message on my phone saying to plug into iTunes. iTunes said my phone was in recovery mode and I had to restore. Tried to do it but got unknown error 36 and the restore failed. Went through all the suggestions on the support website - tried different computers (Windows and Mac OS), different USB cables, different network etc. Contacted support in the UK and they called back. Went through the whole thing again, tried the holding home and reset trick etc. Still not luck. In the end they put me through to support in the US who said they have the engineers looking at it.
Has anyone else had this issue? Error 36 can be a hardware error and I'm worried they will say there is a problem with my device and make me pay for servicing (out of warranty). There was absolutely nothing wrong with it, it was definitely the upgrade to 6.1.1 that did it. Without sounding selfish, I'm hoping it is a widespread issue so that they admit liability and fix/replace without cost or release 6.1.2.

Hi All
Good news of sorts. Took my phone to a local repairer and they have seen a growing number of iPhones phones doing the same thing with the latest "update" to 6.1.1. They have no idea what is the cause nor the actual solution but have found by progressing a phone down a number of computer and different cables and doing a DFU (think that is the term) eventually one combination of computer and cable works, if you are lucky. The best cable they have found is a cheap non-genuine one with a particular computer been "luckier" than most. If this does not work then you have to send back to the people you brought the phone from (Telstra in Australia my case and I wish anyone luck dealing with them) and either claim warranty (be almost certain to be told you either dropped it or soaked it) or if you want to see a phone in your lifetime shell out $270 for a reconditioned replacement.
Because I used iTunes and accepted the backup before "upgrade/brick" option my iPhone is currently restoring my applications and data. Looks promising. Total cost for this "random" repair was $47 from the local company. Oh, and yes the "upgrade" blew 1GB of my data allowance which in Australia is mega expensive if you overrun your limit ($2,500 penalty charges or maybe $250 depending what mood Telstra are in).
Dear Mr/Ms/Mrs/Master/Madam Apple you have seriously affected and annoyed a customer.
So if you are having no joy try a repairer that has a few computers and cables and if you are lucky then they might be able to "unbrick" your iPhone by doing a DFU but do mention to them they might need to try a few computers and cables before getting lucky.
Hope you are as "lucky" as I was.

IPad 2 and ios5 update problem(stuck in recovery mode)

Hi,
I have been trying to upgrade to ios 5 on my ipad2 and have had a couple of failures (the same as most people have had).
i tried running it once more and it went beyond the validating install with apple part and then i recieved and error code 3004 and my ipad is now stuck in
recovery mode,all i have on my screen is the itunes logo and usb cable.
In itunes it only gives me an option of restoring to factory settings. if i look in itunes preferences and backups it gives my last one as 18.33 but it isnt there
i really am at a loss as to what to do next.
Any help will be gratefully recieved Regards Adrian

Here's how I fixed this on my MacBook Pro.
With your device connected, in iTunes, Option-click the Restore button.
You'll be asked to select the file to use to Restore. Go To Folder (Command-Shift-G): ~/Library/iTunes/
then into the proper "XYZ Software Updates" folder ("iPad Software Updates" for example), you'll find the file to use to update.
If you have more than one, select the one that ends with "5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw".
This resolved the "internal error occurred" I had with my iPad 2.
Make sure you read the warnings that pop up during the process; this will remove everything you have on your device, so you'll need a working backup, or a way to sync your data.
Good luck.
