IOS 6 update/recovery mode HELP!?

I downloaded the new IOS 6 on my Iphone 4 and it restarts and then comes up with a itunes icon with a usb below it. So I plug my phone in the computer and itunes pops up and then it says " Your phone could not be updated because it is in recovery mode and then it says to recover it below but I dont remember when I recovered it last so now my phone is frozen!! What do I do?

Upgrade iTunes to the latest version available and reboot your computer
Download the iPhone Firmware ios 6 manually
Hard rebooted the iPhone (press and hold both home and the power button until an Apple logo appears)
Popp the sim card out
Connected the iPhone to your computer and when iTunes is telling it has detected a device requiring a recovery option click restore and select the downloaded firmware
When the iPhone rebooted having successfully applied the firmware re-inserted the sim card, wait for the iPhone to tell you it was activated
I hope this will help you.

    I upgraded to 7.0.4 on my iphone 4s and now it isn't working and itunes states that it is in recovery mode - help - I don't want to do a factory restore!!!!

    If you're phone is in recovery mode, then all your data is already wiped off.  you'll need to proceed if you want to use your phone.
    However after it is done recovering, you can restore back from your backp.
    You do backup on a regular basis right?

  • TS2529 iOS update throws phone into recovery mode - HELP

    The current iOS update seems to have thrown the phone into recovery mode now requiring restoration through iTunes. Of course I don't have photo stream on and fear losing all my photos. Any way around this?

    Reset, hold both the home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart. If this works great. If not you may have to Restore the iPhone to get it working again. If you decide to do this you may even have to use DFU Mode to Restore. Here are the steps for DFU. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes.

  • Update to ios 6.1.3 - bumped to recovery mode -HELP!

    I can't seem to escape recovery mode... and I NEED the photos, texts and contacts on it!
    It's set to auto-update to the cloud, but my cloud storage didn't have enough space to get anything off of my phone as it was full from my wife's...
    never meant to update it at all i didn't even realize it until it was updating!
    I tried downloading TinyUmbrella to get to "exit recovery mode", but the application doesn't even open!

    Its not necessary to get that program. Apple does not explain very well what is going on, but actually they do automatically save your data. Because of that lack of clear explanation these 3rd party companies exist to get some of your money because you are freaked out that all your data will be lost.

  • Has anyone else experienced the iOS going into recovery mode after the latest update?

    I had a notification stating a update of iOS 6.1.1 was available. I started to install the software OTA. after about 10mins, my phone turned off, and when turned back on, showed a picture of a cable and the word iTunes.
    I plugged it up to my computer which told me it was in recovery mode. its reinstalled the new software but I've lost everything. Photos, Videos, Apps, notes, Music, Messages.
    I back it up regularly, but when i tried to restore the backed up file, Ive still lost a 80% of my photos, no videos have been readded, and all my Apps I have had to redownload from the App Store.
    Needless to say, it's things like this that make me really wish I had re-upgraded to an Android!
    Has anyone else experienced this issue with this update?

    I am also experiencing the same problem, but strangely only with my iMac!
    iPhone and iPad running iOS 7.0.6 working OK
    MacBook Air running OSX 10.9.2 (and Intel HD Graphics 5000 1024MB) working OK
    iMac running OSX 10.9.2 (and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB) working NOT OK
    Not sure if this may be a problem with NVIDIA graphics after upgrading to OSX 10.9.2?
    When I try to connect to AirPlay Display via my iMac, it says it's connected, but my TV goes into a full black screen mode. Despite it says it's connected to AirPlay display, I cannot actually change from Extend Desktop (my default) to Mirror iMac for example, as it doesn't allow to select it. Also, if I "open display preferences" I don't have any "Arrengement" tab as I have on my MacBook Air where it is working ok.
    Thanks.

  • IOS 7.1.2 update = recovery mode

    I just updated my fully charged iPhone 5S with at least 4 GB of free memory to iOS 7.1.2 via the internal software update function.
    Suddenly my iPhone 5S is in recovery mode. I never did any jailbreak or hack whatsoever!
    Any ideas?

    I have similar problem, after clicking the update, it says that I have to connect to iTunes. After connecting the iTunes, the iTunes doesn't not recognize the phone and I have to restore my phone. However, after clicking 'restore iphone' and the connection to software is stalled and now still have problems with connection. Fyi, I have checked the wifi and internet connection, all seems OK and good.
    it almost 4 hours now, I cant use my phone to make phone calls or checking emails.
    what should I do?

  • Updated to new iOS, sent into recovery mode, iTunes shows error every time I try to restore

    This morning I went to download the new software, I think iOS 7.1.2, and it sent me straight into recovery mode. I have downloaded the latest iTunes to make sure that was up to date and attempted to restore my phone, since I don't know any other way to get it out of recovery mode. I've tried three times and it goes through the whole process and then says there's an error and it can't restore this iPhone because it's unrecognizable. Sooo what to try now??

    Has your device been jailbroken?
    What is the exact error and code you are receiving?

  • Update to 4.3 now in recovery mode help?

I have tried uninstalling and installing itunes and relevant things that go with it but to no avail. Getting rather fed up now can anyone give me any ideas? During the installation process it did say that ApplySync Notifier could not be installed this maybe the problem but dont know where to look for it to install it?

    I'm not sure that you're using the term "dfu mode" correctly. Please describe what you see.

  • My iPod touch is stuck in recovery mode, help?

    A few hours ago, I tried updating my 5th generation iPod touch to iOS 8. It ran into an error and couldn't update, which left my iPod touch stuck in recovery mode with a screen showing a USB cord pointing to an iTunes symbol. I tried searching for ways to get my iPod out of recovery mode without restoring it to its factory settings, but after a couple hours of seeking, I decided I might as well just restore it. I clicked the restore button, and when it finished, it said that my iPod touch couldn't be restored either. Now, I have no clue what to do. May I have some help?

    That error is covered here:
    Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build" - Apple Support
    If iTunes can’t communicate with the update server, you may see one of these messages.

  • IPad Stuck in Recovery Mode - Help!!!!!

    Problem 1:  My iPad apps and movies are on an external drive because the space on my iMac internal SSD is only 256GB.  My iTunes Media Folder [500GB of apps and movies] is a lot larger than the internal SSD can hold.  When I plugged in my iPad and tried to update it from the external drive, disaster struck.  All my data, apps, and movies deleted, Gone!!!!!
    Problem 2:  The iPad is stuck in an endless Recovery Mode loop.  When I connect the iPad to iTunes a prompt pops up that says “iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes”  When I click OK another prompt pops up that says “Are you sure you want to restore the iPad to its factory settings”  When I click on the Restore and Update button I’m confronted with the following error from iTunes:  “The iPad could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9)”
    When I click OK  I get the same prompt pop up that says “iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes”   It’s an endless loop I can’t  seem to fix.  My iPad is now useless and there is no iOS on it.  Please Help.

    As Diavonex said, Error 9 is usually the result of security software getting in the way. Read more about it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US#9
    Check your security software and settings as Apple suggests in this post: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

  • HT4623 ios7 update = recovery mode.  How can I retrieve my photos?

    My iphone 4s is in recovery mode after attempting to install ios 7.  Itunes on my laptop says that the phone needs to be restored.  I would really like to retrieve my photos and videos before it restores.  Is this possible?  Help, please!

    No.  At this point all data on your phone is gone.
    However if you backup, then you can restore to the backup after your phone restores.
    also if you've been importing your pics to your computer, you can sync them back using itunes.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    Error 6: All of the steps in this article apply to resolve this issue. Following iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125 ) frequently resolves this error. There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your Registry. If your default packet size is set incorrectly it can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance.

    Also try to delete the ipod software file located in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates to make iTunes download a new copy when you connect in recovery mode. Maybe the file stored on your PC is damaged.

    Have you updated Itunes to the latest version?
    When you connect the USB cord to your computer does Itunes see the iphone?
    (if it does what does it say exactly)
    If its in recovery mode you will need to restore & update it.
    Which there should be a button in itunes under (devices on the left side that should say Iphone)
    When you click on that it should take you to a screen that has a restore button.
    Click on the button and follow the on screen guide to update it.
