my ipad is locked with the itunes icon & cable on the screen I believe this is recovery mode?? how do I get it to work again

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • How could I get my iPad out of recovery mode without deleting all its data?

    I updated my iPad 2 to iOS 7.1.2 or so while it was plugged into my laptop, which caused it to go into recovery mode. And it didn't back up anything at all. I tried TinyUmbrella and other tools, but it only seemed to restart the iPad and put it back into recovery mode, and I even tried hard-rebooting and it still is in recovery mode. Please help?

    If it's in recovery mode then it's too late to take another backup or copy anything off it, you will need to reset back to factory defaults and then restore to your last backup. If you were updating via your computer's iTunes then it should have taken a backup as part of the update - what's the date of its latest backup in the Devices tab in Preferences on your computer's iTunes ?

  • How can I get my ipad out of recovery mode without losing all of my data

    I plugged my ipad into my laptop to charge, it went into recovery mode, I cannot lose my data.  How can I save my data and get out of recovery mode?

    Unplug it from your laptop and try a reset:
    Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
    If it goes back into Recovery Mode then unfortunately your data is already lost.
    Restore from your iCloud or iTunes backup.
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

  • How do i get my ipod out of recovery mode?

    It tells me to connect my ipod to itunes and when i do i says i need to restore and update my ipod so i click the button that says restore and update and within a few seconds it says error. I cannot get it out of recovery mode no matter how much i try or do.

    Maybe:
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • How do i get my iphone4 out of recovery mode?

    I attempted to update my iphone4 to the new update ios6 or whatever it is. It downloaded the new update and for some reason an error occurred and i had to restore it, so i thought yep okay righto. during the last stage of the restoring process ('restoring firmware') a popup comes up and says 'The iphone 'iphone' could not be restored. An unknown error has occured (-1).' So.. my iphone4 is stuck in recovery mode. I cant restore it to get it out of recovery mode.. So now it is just a complete brick.. Its been like this for 24hours and i have spent around 6 hours researching and playing around with it and i am now stumped, i spent an 1 on the phone to Apple and all they managed to solve was that there is a problem with the firmware. I have tried to restore it on another PC laptop and a Mac Desktop. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could please give me a soloution to fix this mess..

    Hello kazzi11,
    It sounds to me that your iPhone is already in recovery mode but when you connect it to iTunes the computer does not recognize it. If you have not already tried the steps in the following article to put the iPhone into into recovery mode, I would suggest that first. If the computer is not recognizing your iPhone when you go through the steps, be sure to follow the steps for Mac or steps for Windows link at the bottom of the article.
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

    If you don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
    Thanks for reaching out,
