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.

If the iPhone is in recovery mode, everything is already gone. Restore from
iCloud or your back up. -

Do you have any recent backups? Once in recovery mode there isn't many options available too you unfortunately.

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.

After updating iphone 5c to ios 8.1.3 goes into recovery mode
the problem is that if i restore it like its trying to suggest me i will lose all my apps, photos, chats
HELP!
if you are wondering this was a OTA updateHi
Recovery mode as in a USB connector icon on the screen?
Did you backup prior to the upgrade to 8.1.3?
Did you have iCloud engaged?
You have lost you txt. messages on your apple app.
But some 3rd party chat apps to hold data in your iCloud backup, you will not know till you try. -
My iphone 3Gs has gone into recovery mode after updating via itunes..help..
I plugged my iphone 3gs into itunes yesterday and it started to update the software - presumabley to 10.5? - came back to it an hour later and it was displaying an image of a usb cable and itunes symbol which i now undertand means its gone into recovery mode.
I tried to restore it to the factory settings as advised but it won't work. Its telling me "This device could not be restored, it is not eligible for the requested build"
Please help - this phone is not jailbroken!Ok, after 2 nights searching forums and trying different things I have managed to find a solution. I had to add a '# ' at the begining of the host directory. This means nothing to me and I had to follow the steps in the following link but it worked perfectly -

My ipad has gone into recovery mode after an "error occured" whilst trying to update it. Will it come out of recovery on it's own? There is a lot of data I want to save before restoring it to factory settings
FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY. -
HT4623 iphone has gone into recovery mode after an update
Help...I did an update without backing up and my phone has now gone into recovery mode. Is there any way to revive it without losing data???
Please helpIf your phone is in recovery mode, you've already lost all data on the phone. You have no choice but to connect it to iTunes and restore it, either from your most recent backup or as a new device.

HT2693 My ipad has gone into recovery mode
My Ipad has gone into recovery mode after i was asked to update the itunes i have tried restoring it on the computer to no avail
No.
You can get media back after the restore by: Download past purchases. Other data cannot be recovered if it wasn't stored elsewhere. -

I have attempted to update my iPhone to ios8. My phone has gone into recovery mode. I have tried all of your recommendation and it will not come out of recovery mode. HELP!
Without knowing what you did and exactly what happened (error messages) all I can suggest is:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

During the updation of 10.7 version of Itunes on my iphone 4s, my phone has gone into recovery mode & is not showing up in i Tunes nor in my computer (windows xp). What shall i do so that my phone gets connected & running??
Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

my phone has gone into recovery mode on its own. says to connect to itunes. i have restored it 10 times and it does nothing please help me i am out of the country and desparate
Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. If the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode, then Restore the Firmware. If not recognized, then hold both Home and Power Buttons until the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.
