  • My iPhone 4 s is stuck in recovery mode, please help!!

    My phone got stuck in recovery mode while updating.  The restore won't help in my iTunes. 

    After playing with it a bit more and holding down my home button I got the phone to restore. But now, it won't power back on unless plugged into the charger. And even then, it's stuck in recovery mode and i can't get it out. PLEASE HELP ! I am not under warranty and can't afford the Apple Store's repair prices.

  • HT4623 I ran the IOS 7 update and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode. Help?

    I ran the IOS 7 update on my phone and now it is stuck in recovery mode. On my phone it shows a cord and the I Tunes logo.  When I connect to I Tunes it tells me "itunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."  Then it only gives me the option to Restore iPhone.  But when I click on this it gives me the message that it is going to reset my phone to factory settings.  Doesn't this mean I will loose everything?  What do I do?  Is there a way to fix this without losing everything? 
    Help?
    Thank you,
    Nicole

  • IPod Stuck in Recovery Mode Please help!

    Hi,
    I have a an iPod touch 2g which I turned off one day and it never turned on again. I plugged it into iTunes and it shows the iPod in the main window with the restore button and the check for update screen. Before I have a chance to press anything, a window pops up saying, iTunes ha detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore your iPod before you can use it again. When I click OK the iPod ejects so I cannot restore it. Every time it does this. Ive tried everything.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks you!

  • IPhone 4s stuck in recovery mode, please help

    So I tried updating from 1.7.1 to 1.7.2 on my iPhone and it sent it to recovery mode and I cannot get it out. I don't want to do a full restore, and want to find a way to get it out of recovery mode. Thanks!

    The only way to get out of recovery mode is do to the full restore If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    After it is done, you can use your iTunes or icloud backup to restore from.

  • My phone is stuck in recovery mode.  Are my photos and videos that weren't downloaded lost?

    I've been lazy about updating my phone.  I plugged it into my computer tonight, the prompt came up and I absentmindedly clicked OK, you get the picture.  It claims the update failed and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode.  I can't believe I didn't back up my phone before I did this - I just wasn't thinking.  Have I lost all my videos and pictures?

    They should have been part of the backup. If you have already restored from the backup and they are not present on the phone, then they are gone. If you have not yet attempted to restore, just restore already... you don't have any other choice. Debating whether something will be there or not is pointless. It will, or it won't. discussing it won't change that.

  • My phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings.  My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

    I attempted to update to iOS 8 and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings.  My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

    Hi, kformagg
    I would say yes. I once had the same problem (iPhone 5, IOS 7) and first restored to factory settings and after that from iCloud backup.
    It worked very well.

    Thanks, I figured that out, so I went ahead and restored it, which also didn't work!  It gave me an error 3194, which I also can't figure out.

    Try Restoring it 3 times in a row and see if that works.
    If not that error can indicate one of two things: Your iPhone was at one time jailbroken, had the iOS version rolled back, or ran an unauthorized beta and if none of those things are true it is a hardware error.

  • HT1688 I just tried to install the latest software update for an iPhone 5, and now the phone is stuck in recovery mode.  Are there any options available to avoid going through with the recovery.  This seems really lame.

    No.
    You must restore.
