HT4623 ipad stuck in recovery mode. How do I fix the issue?

I attempted to update my ipad. I downladed the update to itunes and proceeded to install onto the ipad. The installation failed, and now the ipad is stuck on whats apparently recovery mode. When i attempt to connect the ipad to itunes (on a windows 7 platform) the computer gives the notification that it is connected but itunes wont recognize the ipad. How do i actually put the ipad through a recovery to put an end to this situation?

This should help.  You may have to try the process of placing into recovery mode more than once to succeed.

    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 stuck in recovery mode 'preparing software for recovery'

    We had tried updatind my iPad several times which came up with error code '1645' and we updated our itunes which had no effect and resulted in us putting it into recovery mode, where it is now stuck.
    I've been looking on this post http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and at start it says it resolves issues whe your iPad 'Stops responding, showing the Apple logo with no progress bar or a stopped progress bar, for over ten minutes' my iPad is in recovery mode and it gets to the point in itunes where it displays 'preparing software for recovery' we've had it showing no progress on the bar all night and nothing we have done helps. But that support page really doesn't give any solutions.
    I've looked on many sites and tried multiple things such as this website http://thehowto.wikidot.com/ipad-stuck-recovery-mode which is suggested lots and has had no effect after following all the steps.
    Any help will be highly appreciated

  • Iphone 4 stuck in "recovery mode"  how do i free it up without complete wipe and restore?

    iphone 4 stuck in "recovery mode"  how do i free it up without complete wipe and restore?

    You can try doing a power recycle by pressing on the home button and sleep wake button simultaenously.
    This will shut down the device you then may press on the sleep wake button to attempt to restart the device. This may or may not resolve the issue.
    Good luck.

  • My iPad stucked in recovery mode

    My iPad stucked in recovery mode, while upgrading at the end of firmware upgrade step an unknown error occured ( 1 ) and still I'm getting the same error in all my trials, any solution ?

    Hi kweks,
    Have you backed up your iPad to iTunes? If you have, then even though a restore will erase your data, you can restore it from a previous backup:
    When using recovery mode, you can only restore iPad. All user content on iPad will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • Ipad stuck in recovery mode after accidentally unplugging it while updating

    ipad stuck in recovery mode after accidentally unplugging it while updating to ios 4.2 . and when trying to restore it back it wont restore, restroing error code is 6 what to do ?

    I'm not sure what you can do at this point.  If I had been in your shoes, I would have kept the pics in the camera's SD cards until my return home.
    I'm really reluctant to suggest this but, at this point, you probably can't lose.  Do a "Restore."  Be forewarned that it could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    Edit...
    I just took a peek at the TinyUmbrella FAQs.  Your device has been jailbroke and that's likely the reason why the problem occurred to begin with.  Contact the jailbreaker for assistance.  Neither Apple nor anyone on the forum can help you as we do not know the characteristics of your device.

  • My iPhone 5s on ios 8.1.2 is stuck at Apple logo or recovery mode.. To fix this issue, i need to update it to ios 8.2 through itunes.. I want to ask that my data i.e. Photos and other personal data would be removed after updating it or not..?

    My iPhone 5s on ios 8.1.2 is stuck at Apple logo or recovery mode.. To fix this issue, i need to update it to ios 8.2 through itunes.. I want to ask that my data i.e. Photos and other personal data would be removed after updating it or not..?
    if yes then how can i save my data or get out of recovery mode.. Is there any safe mode or something like that on which i could access my data..
    P.S. I have not taken any backup of my iPhone on itunes..
    Please help me sort out this issue..

    Recovery mode doesn't mean that all your data is already lost. You only lose your data if you restore it.
    When you plug the phone is into iTunes hold down the home button. iTunes may then give you the option JUST to update the software first. This should not get rid of any data.
    However, if iTunes is only giving you the option to RESTORE and update, then you will lose your data I'm afraid.
    Hope that helps!

    You're gonna have to restore the iPhone from your last backup with iTunes. You did do a backup before you attempted to update the software didn't you?

  • HT1386 I have a new Macbook pro. I downloaded all previous Itunes purchases and then sync my IPhone. The New song that I purchased today appear on the IPhone however it will not play. How do I fix the issue with my IPhone?

    I have a new Macbook pro. I downloaded all previous Itunes purchases and then sync my IPhone. The New songs that I purchased today appear on the IPhone however it will not play. How do I fix the issue with my IPhone?

    Hey Etti101,
    I'd start off your troubleshooting process by deleting and redownloading the songs:
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    via: Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
