HT201263 My iPhone 4 started to update but got stuck in recovery mode. I've tried everything anyone on the website has told me to do, but nothing has worked. Is there anything I can do? I need my phone

My iPhone 4 started to update but got stuck in recovery mode. I've tried everything anyone on the website has told me to do, but nothing has worked. When you go to turn it on, it shows the Apple symbol,  then it goes to the connect to iTunes screen. When I do that, it just says error with the code 9006. I've followed what the Apple site has said to do for it, but the phone is still is the same  state. Is there anything I can do? I need my phone back as soon as possible.

Hello Hester Emily,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing after this update process.  I found the following article that has more information on the iTunes error code 9006:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Configure your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, or 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
Take care,
Alex H.

  • My iPhone 4 is stuck in recovery mode after I tried to update it, & itunes won't let me restore my phone! Help?

    So after trying to update my phone to ios7, it got stuck in recovery mode. I tried plugging it into my computer and itunes, and itunes recognizes that an iphone is plugged in. TThen when I click "restore my iphone", it says on itunes that it is in the process of restoring my iphone. An apple with a loading bar would pop up on my phone and then the loading bar would fill up, and then I would get an error message on my computer saying "Could not restore iphone, Error 2117" or something along those lines. I didn't have the new itunes, so I brought my itunes up to date. Now that I have the new itunes, I tried restoring the phone again. This time, when I plug in the phone, the computer recognizes it and says that its restoring my phone, but the my iphone was still stuck on the screen for recovery mode (white usb pointing at the itunes logo). Does anyone know how I could restore my phone? :/

    This reply isn't to shorty2006, that post was awhile ago. This is for everyone that updates itunes and gets an error that their phone is now in Recovery mode. 
    I've been researching all night and even thought about downloading several different things that were suppose to get my phone out of "Recovery" mode.  Then I thought about taking my phone to the Apple store after work tomorrow.  I then found this blog and read coltonkj's entry and tada!  I took a big breath and hit "restore".  It worked, it put me back to the page where you can select to restore the last back-up.  Shooooo!!!!
    Thank you coltonkj !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I updated my iPhone 4S and my iPad 4 to iOS 7 now they both drop all my contents all my notes go missing I keep having to turn it off and on sometimes several times to make a phone call and the scroll rarely works is there anything I can do?

    I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 7 now my phone constantly deletes all my contacts and takes days to download them from my iCloud again, constantly needs to be turned off and on sometimes several times to make a phone call, the scroll rarely works, is there anything I can do, the apple tech told me it was something I'd just have to get used to, my phone worked perfectly before the update.

    Even if it is a hardware problem they should fix it regardless of warranty. If you buy a car and after 1.5 years the doors fall off due to a failure in their design and construction, do you think the car manufacturer could pull off what Apple is trying to do? Yes the car still delivers its primary objective of driving from A to B, but significant functionality has been lost due to their fault.
    It is the same with this iPhone wifi problem. Apple are a disgrace, I have had significant Apple Hardware failures with my MacBook Pro and iPhone within 2 years of purchase. Pathetic quality.

    if your computer is not recognizing it, try using a different USB port or different usb cable. if that doesnt work you will need to uninstall and reinstall itunes.

    Hello NoahLovesYou
    Try putting your iPhone into recovery mode and try to restore it again. If it gives you an error while it is restoring in iTunes, check the error against the second article for additional help.

    If you didn't back it up, your data is gone. There is no "solution" after the fact.

    Well, if you've indeed tried EVERYTHING, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • I'm trying to use FaceTime but when I try to log in, the system tries to verify and gives me a number to call Apple to complete registration.  Is there anything I can do?

    I'm trying to use FaceTime from my IMac OS Version 10.8.5 but when I try to log in, the system tries to verify and gives me a number to call Apple to complete registration.  Is there anything I can do? 

    There is no official public documentation of that alert as far as I know.
    If you're trying to sign in to FaceTime, try to sign in to iMessage in the Messages application, or vice versa.
    Otherwise, do as the alert directs. According to reports, you won't be charged for the support call if you select "Apple ID"—not the hardware model—as the product you're asking about, and cite the "customer code" in the alert as the "validation code" when you speak to the Apple representative.

  • The on and off sleep button at the top of the phone has stopped working is there anything I can do

  • My airport express frequently drops the internet connection. Once I unplug it and re-plug it in, everything is fine until it drops the signal again. This happens on a regular basis. Is there anything I can do ensure it maintains the internet connection?

    My airport express frequently drops the internet connection. Once I unplug it, and re-plug it in, my Macbook Pro17,IMac 24, iPad air and my wife's Acer 15 works  fine until it drops the signal again. This happens on a regular basis. Is there anything I can do ensure it maintains the internet connection?

    It is tricky..
    But yes it can be done as long as you use a different IP subnet to what is being used for the internet..
    So I need to know what modem router you have?? Does it have wireless as that would make it very easy?
    What IP is the computer getting?
    Then I can give you the details to setup wireless statically on a different subnet.

  • I just downloadeId the ios 6.1 and all of my contacts disappeared. Is there anything I can do to get them back?

    I just downloadeId the ios 6.1 and all of my contacts disappeared. Is there anything I can do to get them back?

    Assuming that you backed up prior to deleting your contacts, navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
    When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.
    The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
    Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
    Start the restore from iCloud back up.
    Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
    As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
    Wait for the time out confirmation.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
    Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
    Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
    May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.
