My ipad 4 is in recovery mode and says connect to itunes, but when i connect to itunes it says nothing. but in the device driver properties on my computer it says my ipad is in recovery mode. what should i do?
please help!See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 to restore the phone using Recovery Mode. You will lose all content on the phone. This is the only way to bypass the lock screen if you don't have the last computer the phone was synced to.

When I connected to iTunes, my phone said it was in "restore" mode, but I don't know why. Iam afraid that if I continue with the restore, I will lose my recent pics. How can I check iCloud to see if my pics are there? Will I lose my pics if I restore?

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimize Loss... Once you have Recovered your Device... Restore from the most recent Backup...

I lost all my contacts on my iPhone 4S. When I connected to iTunes it automatically synced and wiped out my backup. How do I restore to a previous backup?
Do you have your contacts on your computer? You could sync those over: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386

my problem is that since I update my iphone 4s ios 8 and then restore it and when I connect to itunes does not sync my music only applications
I had a similar issue and I was told that my iTunes match was on.
I had to disable iTunes match on my iPhone.
Following which - after you plugged in your iPhone to iTunes, select your iPhone on iTunes menu. You should see a summary page of your iPhone where it provides options to update or restore. On the bottom there should be an option to select "sync only selected music/playlists". I can't remember the exact wording. Once that's been checked, select your iPhone's music tab and it should allow you to select the music playlists you want to sync. -
i have connected it to itunes like i was told to do and it wont do anything because its locked with a passcode and its frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter myt passcode and after a while it just shuts off, it has been doing this for almost 48 hours. I was told to hold the home button and power button to shut it down and that I could then restart it and it would work... Nothing has helped, What can I try???
Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
If that does not resolve, restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
If all else fails, take the device to Apple (or whomever provides support in your country) for evaluation and possible replacement. -
my phone goes in to recovery mode and flash logo connect to itune, when i connect to itune the msg disply update software and i click that than dwnld software to itune, when software dwnld and installing to my phone after sometime msg disply "errore no. 21" and software not install to my phone
From TS3694:
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, and 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart. -
I my ipod isn't letting me swipe in on the lock screen, and for now, i've given up on that, and i just got a new laptop. So what i'd like to do is not worry about getting in my ipod, but to plug it in my computer and get my music off of it. it is not letting me do this because i have to unlock my ipod but, sadly i cannot, if anyone can help me it would be greartly appreitiated.
You don't have to purchase it again, but you do have to download it. See Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

As I have already said above, the control center will not deploy in apps on my iPhone 6 since 8.2 It is turned on ,works on the lock screen and on my iPad. Any suggestions?
Check the Settings app to make sure the correct Setting is there to allow showing the Control Center in apps.
Settings > Control Center > Access Within Apps > ON -
I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo on it. Sounds about right, right? But now, there is a processing circle on top of the logo, but the circle spins once, and stops at about halfway to the bottom. It just stays there, and about every half to one hour it becomes a white screen and starts all over again. (not the loading bar part, just the circle). I've tried holding the power and the home button, and it works, but it just goes back to the circle screen with the apple logo. HELP PLEASE?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
Help, I just gave iTunes the assignment to update my iPhone5 to iOS7 and now it gives an unknown error (6). The iPhone is still hooked to my laptop, and shows the black screen and bright Apple with the horizontal bar, telling it's in the middle of something. What should I do?
DFU mode? How do I do that? So far the only thing I can do is hold down both buttons to power it on and nothing is on the screen and it wont reconize on my computer....

I took pictures on my iphone when it was on the lock screen and now I can't view the pictures in all of my photos. How do I view them?
If you go to the Photos app, is there content in the Photo Library? These would be pictures that are synced to the phone from the computer. Photos in the camera roll are those that you take with the phone, or save from email, MMS on the phone. What type of pictures are you trying to get rid of? If you are trying to get rid of the synced photos, you need to connect to iTunes, select the iPhone in the device pane, then go to the Photo tab in iTunes and remove the check mark by sync.

Help is our middle name! So let's jump into troubleshooting right away. Have you tried holding the power button and home key simultaneously for up to 30 seconds as an alternate reset? Please give that a shot and let us know how it goes.
