That is not what it says. Read the message again. It's telling you it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and it must be restored.
Restore it. You don't have a choice at this point.

In updating to most recent ios, iPad says its gone into recovery mode - any ideas?
When updating to the most recent iOS, my iPad says its gone into recovery mode and the only option i have is to restore to factory settings - any ideas?
The message means what it says. Unfortunately something went wrong and you will have to restore your iPad now. If you have a backup, you can restore from the backup after you restore the iPad to factory settings. If you have no backup, you have to start all over again.
You can download much of your purchased content again in the purchased tabs of iTunes or the app stores or if you sync with iTunes ( if you sync with iTunes you should have some sort of backup) you can sync your content back to the iPad. -

MacBook Pro 2009 stuck at startup, can't enter Recovery Mode, any ideas?
My Macbook Pro was working just fine until about a week ago when it froze and I had to do a force shutdown, then entered Recovery Mode and it seemed to work well after that. I got it back up and it was working until today when it froze again and I did another force shutdown, now it won't even do into Recovery Mode. I read on here that it might be a fan problem and cleaning it might help, that didn't work.
While it is booting up the upper left area gets quite hot, any ideas what could be causing this? Can I still salvage the stuff on the hard drive? Do I need to bite the bullet and just try and get a different machine?You need to hold Command / R.

Make sure you have the Current Version of iTunes Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
Then See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.
After you have Recovered your Device...
Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...
Restore from Backup > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
If the issue persists...
Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first... -
My iphone 4 can make and receive calls but I cannot hear the person on the other end...they can hear me. I have tried plugging headphones in and resetting...any other ideas?
If you need to use the phone now, try using speaker phone until you can take it to an Apple store and have them further look into the problem.

Hi there Laura,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone is in recovery mode and you’re concerned about restoring it to factory settings because you don’t want to lose any data. The first article linked below provides a lot of great information about restoring an iOS devices to factory settings, including how to restore from any backups that you may have created with iTunes.

Purchased an IPAD mini 2 today. I am trying to transfer apps such as Angry Birds and not lose my progress. New IOS will not allow sharing of apps. Any ideas on how I can do this?
You can transfer the games but you will lose your game progress. now if you've played through game center you might keep something, but I'm not sure, I turn that off. But when I transferred my angry birds from my touch to my ipad i had to replay the levels over

My iPhone won't stay connected to my wireless. I have to keep repowering my phone and then it lasts for a few minutes until I have to reboot again. Any ideas? Anyone experienced the same?
HI:
It does not sound like a battery problem.
Try a couple of things:
1. Reset the SMC

2. Reset (if you can) the PRAM

If that does not help, delete the mouse in system preferences, turn it off, restart, and turn the mouse back on.

P.S. I only needed it once, but I have an old USB mouse in case my Bluetooth one decides to quit. -
In updating my iphone 5 for the new software ios6. An error occurred and now is asking me to restore settings. But I don't want torestore setting causing not all of my recent data has been synced and I don't want to lose my data. How can I undo this since i did not hit restore settings, yet i can't do any other move without restoring at this point. Any ideas?
You phone is in recovery mode. Your data is already gone.
Why you would attempt a software upgrade without backing up all your data first is beyond me, but to each his own.
In any case, sorry for your data loss.
