I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.something (something about the speakers) to get rid of a notification and it went into recovery mode!!! My photos are not backed up or on icloud. i havent restored yet because i cannot lose my photos/videos, etc. but tinyumbrella wont work to exit recovery mode. HELP! please:(
i tried tinyumbrella (and another similar software) to exit recovery but it only remains on the apple logo stuck there. please is there anything else i can do? i've contacted apple and they have told me the only choice i have is to restore and lose all my data.
my iphone isn't jailbroken and i've updated before without this problem so i'm not sure what has happened. is there anyyy hope please ???
First I would try to hold down the power and the home button for about 15sec, but at least as long as the iPhone restarts, if it is still stuck or still in recovery mode then I can suggest you the tool "Wondershare Dr. Fone for iOS", it is both a Windows and Mac tool and I just used it today to get my iPad out of the Recovery mode.
Tell me if any of these options worked for you.

yesterday i tried updating to Ios 8. i new there were going to be some problems but i decided to do it. i started the update and less than a half hour into it my phone completely crashed.it went into recovery mode so i connected it to iTunes. i hit restore and update . it gave me and estimated time that kept going up. finally when it got to 800 hours it stopped and said an error occurred. i tried it again and the same error occurred. i am very disappointed in this because i greatly need my phone for school and other important things. i wasn't gonna wait that time anyway. i would like to know if there is anyway i don't have to update, get out of this screen without waiting forever, speed up the time, or get my computer to not crash when it gets to so many hours. (i have windows) plz help me out asap!!!
I have experienced a similar error with the iPhone 4S. The new version of iTunes will not let me restore the phone, it must be updated and nothing appears to be happening. Suffice it to say I am not amused. Apple needs to work this out - I had trouble updating to 8.0.2 as well.

I was updating from 6 to 6.1.2 and my phone went into recovery mode. I usually get a 3014 error but sometimes it gets past the USB screen and goes about halfway through the apple screen and gets a -1 error. I don't have firewalls, no antivirus, the only thing I have is a mandatory college internet connection program that I don't think I can get rid of. What should I do
Also, I already tried to "Hold both home and power button, let go of the home button at the apple screen" but it didn't work.That is usually a result of an iPhone that at one time has been hacked, jailbroken, or rolled back. Try it on a different computer.

hey my iphone was having some glitches with it so went into recovery mode and i didnt have my songs backed up becoz i didnt have a computer to hook it up with, but i do now just wondering how can i get my songs back i have receipts for all the songs aswell
You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

Hello courtney lynn 7420,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand you ran into an issue with restoring your iPod with iTunes. Without an error message or error code provided, the best troubleshooting step for you to go through is the article linked to below.
Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes

Can't get my iphone out of recovery mode.
What, exactly, happens when you try to restore it?

My iPhone 4S crashed and then went into recovery mode. What happened?
So I was using my iPhone today, and the screen wouldn't turn on. I assumed it had frozen and power-cycled it using the power- and home-buttons. Then I turned it back on, and it told me to plug my iPhone into iTunes. So I did, and iTunes attempted to update my device to iOS 8.1.3 (which it already had). It couldn't, and I had to restore my device to factory settings and then I had to restore from a backup. I'm curious as to why this happened?
Side note: When I plugged iPhone into iTunes, the serial number was marked as n/a, and instead of "[my name]'s iPhone" it was named iPhone 4S. Why is this? What happened?Try plugging it in to iTunes. If I'm correct, when you plug it into your computer and open iTunes it should say "Device in Recovery Mode" or something. The only negative is that the only option from there is to restore your phone. If you have an iCloud backup you should be able to restore and back up once again and have the same data.

I just plugged my phone into my ITunes to update it and it went into recovery mode?!
All I did was plug it and and i was waitng for it to connect to the computer and it started to update and then next thing i know the screen changes and it has a itunes symbol and a plug and the screen tells me its in recovery mode and now it says i need to set it back to factory settings?! I havent synced recently how can i do something without losing stuff on my phone?
If you guys were performing iCloud backups, you might be able to retrieve all of your media, contacts and apps. You could restore the device, and hit "Restore from iCloud backup", then sign into your appleID to chekc.

My Iphone 3GS went into recovery mode while I was trying to update to the iOS 6.1.2
My Iphone 3GS went into recovery mode while I was trying to update to the iOS 6.1.2
I need help fast. I'm on call and this is my only phone.It finally restored. I saw that a couple folks said they kept trying and finally got restored. So I decided to keep trying and retrying while I researched the techno routes folks described--DFU, tinyumbrella, and scary programming processes. I decided I'd rather put my sim chip in one of our old iphones and take mine to a shop than suffer through a bunch of complication. I switched to Apple b/c I got tired of playing programmer. I digress. After a few minutes itunes would drop my phone from dashboard yet continued showing the checking with Apple...status. So I repeatedly force-quit itunes, restarted phone, unplugged and plugged back into computer. Each time I'd do whatever itunes prompted then walk away. After about an hour of this, for no apparent reason, it went directly into recovery. Didn't lose any photos but did have to reinstall most of my apps. It has to be an Apple network issue related to this particular upgrade.

After updating my Iphone 4s to os 7.1.1 from 7.1 over the air, my phone went into recovery mode. Yet when I try to restore it with Itunes on my windows 7 laptop it says the network connection has been reset. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network is active, or try again later. My phone has the itunes logo and charger symbol on it, as well as an arrow pointing at the Itunes logo. After holding the sleep button down or even doing the hard reset the same screen comes up on my phone regardless of whether it is plugged in or not to my computer. I have turned my computer off and on again. It is plugged in and charging as it's battery life is very short. I also reset my modem and the same error message pops up. The only option on my computer when my phone is plugged in is to restore it. My firewall also allows Itunes through it. I have literally tried everything I know being someone who knows very little about technology. I also do not want to hear about how the update worked for other people. My phone has been in recovery mode for 5 hours at least now so it will just make me more frustrated if a bunch of people post about how the update worked for them.
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything... and you must continue with the Recovery...

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... -
I was loading the latest software update to "fix bugs and security issues" and my phone went into "recovery mode". I've never seen this before. I plugged it into iTunes as shown on the screen of my phone and it says "Iphone in recovery mode detected" and suggested resetting the phone to factory settings. I don't want to lose all my data so is there another way to fix it? All help will be appreciated!
Sorry, whatever data you had on your phone has been wipe off already, since your phone is in recovery mode.
You will need to restore your phone. Then if you have a backup, you can choose that backup to restore from, if you have no backup, your only option is to sync contents from iTunes. -
I tried to update to ios 7.0.1 and my iphone 5 went into recovery mode and i dont have iCloud
I tried to update to ios 7.0.1 and my iphone 5 went into recovery mode and said i had to plug it in to itunes so i did and it restored to factory settings and i lost everything and i am pretty sure i dont have anything backed up on iCloud.. Is there anyway i can recover anything? I had over 1,000 pictures and 500 contacts and now i have nothing.
Then you have no data from which to backup, I'm afraid.
This would be a good time to review the User Guide and learn how to use your phone as recommended so data loss like this doesn't happen again.
Best,

I tried uppdating my ipad then it went into recovery mode. I thought "oh no problem, my phone has done this before". So, I hooked it up to iTunes and started to restore/update it, but when the update began, it said it would take 24 hours to download. Already abnormal. Then, the number kept rising higher and higher until it got to 300 HOURS. Then, once it reaches a certain 300, it says "connection failed. please check to see that you have a working connection or try again later" or something like that. So, my iPad is now stuck in recovery mode and I can't exactly talk to people now. What do I do?
Hello aZaa4401
Sorry to hear about your issue. I would start your troubleshooting with the article below to check to settings of your computer to make sure your connection is good to the iTunes Store.
