I cant get my ipad2 out of recovery mode

I have hooked up to itunes countless times and keep getting the same error codes 11 or 12. It started when I got the notification to update and so I clicked to update and let it run its course, it rebooted and gave me the connect to itunes screen. I was so excited to become apart of the apple family and now because of this I have slowly traded in all my apple products for Androids. I have nothing nice to say except the simplicity of the platform on apples were amazing but now having this experience with my ipad2 I will not switch back. If I can't get this ipad2 to get back running again I will continue to let others know how stupid apple products are. I dont plan on sending it in for service because it'll cost more than I paid for it. #RollingWithHonesty

    I was charging my phone overnight but his morning I aawoke to it being in recovery mode and I have tried all morning to get it out but after several attempts threw itunes it stops and claims I have come across and error 1 still cant fix the problem and need help

    That is typically indicates a hardware failure.
    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

    You don't. Once it's in recovery mode, anything that was on the phone is already gone.

  • How do I get my phone out of recovery mode without restoring it through iTunes?

    I tried to update my software, and my phone went into recovery mode. Now it says to restore it through iTunes but when I try that, it says its unavaliable to restore. What do I do to get my phone out of recovery mode??

    You don't. What do you mean it says "unavailable to restore"? What is the EXACT wording of the message you're getting?

    It's impossible to say exactly why it went into recovery mode. To get it out, plug it into your computer running iTunes and restore it.

    While YOU may not have attempted to jailbreak the phone, SOMEONE ELSE did.  Error 1015 occurs by attempting to restore a previously jailbroken phone. 
    It's very likely you may NEVER get your phone out of recovery mode and your phone may be rendered permanently bricked.
    Terms of Use of this forum prohibit the discussion of jailbroken phones.  You'll have to scour the internet for a solution to your problem, if indeed one exists.

  • How to get my Itouch out of Recovery mode? Without restoring it

    When i plugged in my itouch into a different itunes a message came up saying "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." Since this is not my itunes can is there a way to not restore it?

    Authorizing the computer has nothing to do with getting the iPod out of recovery mode.  A program like the following may work.  However, some error happened in the iPod and necessitated theiPod going inoto recovery mode.

    If it does not work thn you have to restore the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod since there is no backup of the iPod on the computer.

  • 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,

  • I've tried everything to get my phone out of recovery mode but nothing is working.

    Hi,
    I recently started updating my phone to I.O.S 8.1.3, and it was downloading and updating fine, then it said it had an error updating. I turned it off and on again to see if that would work, and when I clicked install it showed up as if it was turning off. It then showed up that I needed to connect to iTunes. So I did, and it said it was in recovery mode, and that I needed to restore. So I tried that and it said multiple times, when I got part way through the restoration, that the network had timed out when it hadn't. So I researched ways to get it out of the recovery mode.
    I've tried:
    holding down home and lock button
    holding down lock and volume button
    downloading tinyumbrella, however it wouldn't let me open it
    Putting it into DFU mode and restoring
    Nothing is working! I don't know what to do, I need my phone for when I'm travelling and now I don't have one.
    Anyone got any more ideas? I'll be incredibly grateful.
    If I can't get this to work I've wasted £200 of money on a phone that decides it's logical to kill itself. I won't be doing that again.

    I was trying to download TinyUmbrella because some people have said it basically kicks phones out of recovery mode, and I did try that but it hadn't worked, it kept loosing connection with the phone even though it was connected.
    I took the phone to the O2 shop and they did something to restore it, so it's working fine finally thanks for replying!

  • Is there a way to get iphone 4s out of recovery mode without restoring it?

    i was just using my iphone 4s normally and it just froze randomly. i held down the power and home button like i usually do, because my phone freezes up on me somewhat often. i saw a "connect to itunes" screen that i have never seen before, and once i connected it to itunes, it said that it was in recovery mode and the only way i could use it is to restore it. problem: i don't want to lose everything on my phone! everytime i've tried to back it up something crashes so i've never been able to back it up, so if i restore it i've lost all my pictures for good. is there a way to get it out of recovery mode without restoring it? please help!

  • 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
