HT4623 what does message mean that ipad in recovery mode

I was updating my ipad and it was accidently disconnected.  When I reconnected later, I have been getting the error message that I need to restore the ipad and that I am in recovery mode.  what do I need to do to use it?

Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, 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.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
  3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
  4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
  5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
  6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device 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.

     Hi,
    One of my ex-colleagues has installed a NI-DAQ 6.5 in our system. [And I do not see any other naitional instruments card in the CPU of the computer, may be he removed it] I deleted the account and all his files in the system. When I am trying to install version8.0, its not getting installed and giving me a message that I should uninstall the previous version by going to Add/Remove programs in the control panel.
    I tried doing that, but the "Change/Remove" button does not seem to work...[There is no response and so unable to install the new version...]
    Any idea how can this problem be solved?
    It is a windowsXP operating system with SP2 installed on a machine with P4 processor.
    Thanks

  • TS3992 what does it mean that my iphone will no longer back up to my computer automatically when i sync with itunes?

    What does it mean that "my iphone will no longer back up to my computer automatically when I sync with itunes", if I turn my icloud backup to "on"? This doesnt sound like something that will make things smoother? I just recently lost all my calendar events and I am hoping to recover them.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can either back up to iTunes or to iCloud, you you choose to back up to iCloud, back up to iTunes will be turned off. Personally, I'd always back up to iTunes unless there is a good reason not to you.

    You may be able to re download past purchases, read here > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If you delete purchases, they are no longer stored in iCloud.

    Do you see European LTE frequencies in the specs? If not then European 4G LTE is not supported.

  • What does SIGSEGV mean on ipad crash report

    What does SIGSEGV mean on ipad crash report

    Depends entirely on the context, but generally refers to a stack overflow issue.
    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

  • TS4006 when using iCloud between mac and pad, what does this mean - "your iPad will  no longer back up to your computer automatically when you sync with iTunes"

    when using iCloud between mac and pad, what does this mean - "your iPad will  no longer back up to your computer automatically when you sync with iTunes"
    DONT WORRY EVERYONE, FOUND THE ANSWER I NEEDED FROM ANOTHER POSTING - THANK YOU

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You don't need to do anything, you have chosen to back up to iCloud instead of iTunes.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • While downloading software update for Itunes, getting message saying detecting Ipad in recovery mode and telling us to restore Ipad to original settings, which we don't want to do.  Also cannot turn on Ipad; shows Itunes symbol with connector.  Help!

    No promises but a System Reset is worth trying:
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
    A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
    Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide.  Pay special attention to page 162.  Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.

    Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

  • What does it mean that our files must be downloaded by January 2015?  Will our files still be accessible after this date or will they be deleted?

    Hi Everyone!
    I'm a bit new to the whole PDF thing and am thrilled to share that I finally figured out how to use this cool feature! Well sort of! I noticed that there is a large red button that says all files will be deleted on January 6th. What does that mean exactly?  Will any files that we have stored here simply vanish?  I have a PDF file that I published in my 'workspace' that's linked to my business website.  Will the link to my PDF file just disappear on January 6th?  Thanks for any insights that you can share!
    Blessings,
    Lori

    Adobe Workspaces is being retired at the beginning of 2005. For more information, see FAQ: Adobe Workspaces retired.

  • HT1329 How do you deauthorize ipods that no longer work or have been stolen. What does it mean that you only have 5 devices that can download your itunes library. How do you deactivte old serial numbers and add new ones as of now we only have one ipod

    Over the years we have owned many i-pods. Most of them ran out of juice or were just outdated some even stolen. As of right now I have one i-pod that should be authorized to download music from my library. I plan to get a new one. My question is how do you deactivate all the old i-pods so that i-tunes doesnt think I have all these pods downloading from my personal lbrary of music. If I get a new one and plug it in it will say you are authorized 1 or 2  or whatever it is at this point to download music from this libtary. How to I get rid of all the old devices (serial numbers) that don't draw from my i-tunes library anymore?

    Ipods/iphones/ipads/apple tvs are not authorized at all.
    Authorization applies ONLY to computers.

  • What does it mean that my macbook pro freezes until i smack it lightly in the bottom right hand corner by the trackpad???? is this specifically a hard drive problem? I don't know what to do.....

    its' been happening a year now maybe?
    i have a macbook pro 17" from 2008 or 9.
    been a great computer but little things are going now....
    for some reason my firewire ports don't like to work and randomly tell me my external drives are disconnected. my firewire 800 doesn't work at all..
    my lcd is getting dim.
    and the latest thing is my computer will freeze when you're doing something simple like googling something and it will stay frozen until you smack it on teh lower corner next to teh trackpad on the right hand side.
    more than annoying.
    what can i do?
    i was going to try to repair this one, but it seems like it would be more cost efficient to just get a new one...
    OH and my keyboard gets more than hot now
    AND i can't, for whatever reason, burn any dvds or cds in my drive.. it gives me some random error..
    my $h*t$ jacked up.
    HELP!

    Why did you put up with all those issues for a year?

  • What does it mean that a document is "waiting" and why?

    I just created a doument in Numbers on my mac and in the icloud window it shows the doument with a cloud icon next to it and the word "waiting". Why is it waiting after 10 minutes on a high speed wifi connection? It is going to sync ever or is this just an icloud failure or even a lie about its capabilities.
    I really needed this doc on my mac, so I emailed it to myself and opened it in ios numbers. Why should that be faster than the vaunted icloud? Why is there no indication of a problem with icloud? Why is there no progress bar? It just works, yeah, right.
