IOS 8 has put my iPhone 5c into recovery mode

I've downloaded IOS 8 on my mac ready for install on my iPhone. I knew i didn't have enough space or time, so once it stopped downloading i ejected the iPhone and my phone got stuck on the apple with the status bar. It then went into recovery mode, and was telling me to connect to iTunes. Connected to iTunes where iTunes detected the phone but my phone is still telling me to connect. Ive tried the reset twice and at the end it says the iPhone isn't connected when it is.
Anyone else experiencing this? and found a solution?? i really don't want to take it to apple cause i live an hour from the closest shop. Thanks!

Hi My friend,
I have the same problem with u yesterday. Itunes plug in appeared after installing the iOS8 but when u connect it to itunes it says update and restore your iphone. Downloading it thrice but nothing happened. Email me @ [email protected] ill give u the answer.

    1. How to Recover Forgotten iPhone, iPad Restrictions Passcode
        If this method does not work, then you will need to fully Restore your
        device as New
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.
    If none of the above do what you need, then do the following:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • How do I put my iPhone 5 into recovery mode if my power button doesn't work?

  • Iphone went into recovery mode after trying to update to 5.1

    I went to upgrade to 5.1 and my iphone went into recovery mode and will not work unless i restore it, if i do this will i lose everything!?

    dfu mode
    How to enter iPhone DFU mode
    Connect the iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes
    Turn the iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone)
    Hold down the sleep/power button and home button together for exactly 10 seconds, then release the power button
    Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected
    When you are in DFU mode your iPhone screen will be completely black
    Even though the screen is black, that doesn’t mean the device can’t be interfaced with either iTunes or a custom firmware client (for jailbreaking, etc).
    Remember that if you see the restore logo, iTunes logo, or any message on the iPhone screen, you are not in DFU mode but standard Recovery Mode. Again, DFU mode is signified by having a completely black screen on the device. If anything else is the case, repeat the steps above until you enter into DFU mode successfully.
    Exit DFU mode on iPhone
    The simplest way to exit out of DFU mode is to hold down the Home and sleep/power buttons on the iPhone while connected to iTunes. Then just hit the power button as and this should reboot the device as usual.
    And if you’re curious, yes this works all the same on an iPod touch.

  • Please help! iPhone gone into recovery mode

    Hoping someone can help me, getting worried!!  I just plugged my iPhone 4s into my Windows computer to update and sync etc as I hadn't for a while.  During the updating and backup process, my phone just went into recovery mode, it disappeared from the devices menu and a message box came up saying 'iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.  You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.'  My phone screen is stuck on the iTunes logo with the usb picture.  I have tried restarting my computer, holding down both buttons on the phone etc but it just stays the same....any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

  • IPhone 4 into Recovery Mode updating to 7.0.3

    I am seeing this problem all over the internet and in this support forum but I don't see any "official" response from Apple. i tried to update my phone as I always have and at some point it went into Recovery mode with the iTunes symbol and charging cord symbol showing on the screen. I see where Tiny Umbrella may get me back to 7.0.2, but has anyone heard anything from Apple or are they basically just putting their collective heads in the sand on this one?

    I Believe his issue is it's inr ecovery mode, the only thing you can do is restore the device per

  • IPhone goes into recovery mode every time it dies?

    If my phone battery dies it immediately is in recovery mode and I have to wipe the phone to get it back to factory settings. Can i fix this??? It is very annoying and sometimes my phones dies when I have 30-40% battery still so I am not sure if I can even prevent this from happening.

    Hello emmahardman,
    It sounds like your phone needs to be restored because it goes into Recovery Mode when the battery runs out, and it sometimes turns off when there appears to be plenty of charge left. Assuming you are restoring from a backup when this happens, I would next time set it up as a new device and test to see if it happens again. If so, reset the phone with the following process and test it again:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    If the issue still keeps happening, I would next seek service for the iPhone:
    iPhone Repair and Service - Apple Support
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • IOS 8.1 update and iPhone 5 to recovery mode ?

    Ios 8.1 update is taking the iPhone 5 to recovery mode  iTunes wouldn't update or restore sighting err=9006 on download of the os.
    Any way to save data and get out of the mess ?

    Some security software prevents your iPhone 5 from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your iPhone 5. Thus, please read: Resolve issues between iTunes and security software
    If nothing is wrong with security software, you can try some recovery tool, like Dr.Fone for iOS to get your iPhone 5 back to normal. Install the tool on your computer and connect your iPhone 5 to computer. If Dr.fone detects that your iPhone 5 is in abnormal mode, click the Restart the device  button on the window of Dr.Fone. Then, your iPhone 5 will be back to normal.
    Besides Dr.Fone can scan all data on your iPhone 5 and save them to your computer. or,after your iPhone 5 becomes normal, you can also use iTunes or iCloud to backup data .

  • Can anyone help me!!! i have an i pod touch and the 4 digit passcode has been forgotten. i have tried a number of times to restore the factory settings on i tunes and have put the i pod into recovery mode, but attempts keep timing out

    my son has forgotten his 4 digit pass code for hios i pod touch. i have been instructed to disable it and connect to i tunes to restore factory settings. when I do this the download time is anything up to 20 hours and it keeps timing out. it is now saying that i tunes cannot connect to the i pod because it is locked with a passcode and saying that i must enter the passcode - can anyone help?

    - To get around the passcode issue, place the iPod in recovery mode. For how to see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - If you are getting a network timeout error during the restore, disable the computer's security software during the restore.

  • Iphone gone into recovery mode and wont connect to itunes or allow me to turn it on

    i tried to downlaod the new software and now phone has gone into recovery but wont connect to itunes or allow me to turn phone back on

    Hey Justinrulz108,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Your issue sounds similar to the device not being recognized in iTunes while in recovery mode. It may be good to attempt the troubleshooting in the following article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Refer to Step 5 "Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed" and the sub-section titled "If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode". Here is an excerpt to get you started (see article for full information, including important additional steps):
    Your device may not be recognized while in recovery mode. This can happen during an update or restore of your device. Typically when your device is in recovery mode, it will show the "Connect to iTunes" logo on its display. If iTunes does not recognize the device when in this state, try the following:
    1. Open the Device Manager:
    Windows XP: Click Start > Run. In the resulting dialog, type devmgmt.msc and press Return.
    Windows Vista or Windows 7: Click Start. In the dialog, type devmgmt.msc and press Return on the keyboard. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click "Continue".
    Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type devmgmt.msc, and press Return.
    2. Click the plus ( + ) icon (Windows XP and Vista) or the disclosure triangle () (for Windows 7 and 8) next to Imaging Devices, Other Devices, Portable Devices, and Universal Serial Bus Controllers to expand these sections.
    3. Check these sections for one or more entries called Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode). These entries may or may not have exclamation marks on them similar to the following:
