IPad 2 and ios5 update problem(stuck in recovery mode)

Hi,
I have been trying to upgrade to ios 5 on my ipad2 and have had a couple of failures (the same as most people have had).
i tried running it once more and it went beyond the validating install with apple part and then i recieved and error code 3004 and my ipad is now stuck in
recovery mode,all i have on my screen is the itunes logo and usb cable.
In itunes it only gives me an option of restoring to factory settings. if i look in itunes preferences and backups it gives my last one as 18.33 but it isnt there
i really am at a loss as to what to do next.
Any help will be gratefully recieved  Regards Adrian

Here's how I fixed this on my MacBook Pro.
With your device connected, in iTunes, Option-click the Restore button.
You'll be asked to select the file to use to Restore. Go To Folder (Command-Shift-G): ~/Library/iTunes/
then into the proper "XYZ Software Updates" folder ("iPad Software Updates" for example), you'll find the file to use to update.
If you have more than one, select the one that ends with "5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw".
This resolved the "internal error occurred" I had with my iPad 2.
Make sure you read the warnings that pop up during the process; this will remove everything you have on your device, so you'll need a working backup, or a way to sync your data.
Good luck.

  • Tried to update iPhone 4 to iOS 6 and my phone got stuck in recovery mode. My only option now is to restore my iPhone and lose media. However, I then tried to restore my iPhone and error 1603 occurred. My iPhone is now not working!?!?!

    if your computer is not recognizing it, try using a different USB port or different usb cable. if that doesnt work you will need to uninstall and reinstall itunes.

    Thanks anyway for your help.
    But allow me to extend to you a simple reflexion about the jailbreak (even if my iPhone wasn't... except if my little cousin jailbreaked without me noticing the advantages or disadvantages) : Would you refuse an alcoholic trying to go to rehab ? Would you really let someone trying to restore a cellular phone die without it, because he went on the bad side a couple of years ?
    Not a great analogy, but this is a user-to-user forum, and Apple will not allow discussion of jailbreaking; if someone tried to help with jailbreaking the message would be deleted. However, if you have a jailbroken phone Apple will generally not block a discussion of how to unjailbreak it. The only problem is that not all jailbroken phones can be restored successfully; it depends on the method of jailbreaking (which I can't discuss without THIS message being deleted).

  • IOS 6.1 download problems - stuck in recovery mode

    If your iPad, iPhone or iPod are stuck in recovery mode, try the following:
    1.  download the firmware for your device: http://www.ngbtips.com/download-links-ios-6-1-official-firmware.html
    2.  plug your device into a computer running iTunes
    3.  when the "restore device box" pops up, control click on button to restore
    4.  restore your device from the firmware you downloaded
    Hope this helps!

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Someone tried to jailbreak my iPod and now it is stuck in recovery mode. How do I fix it?

    I'm not sure what jail breaking is, however one of my friends insisted on jail breaking my iPod, 4th generation. Now it is stuck in recovery mode and everything has been wiped out. I had backed my iPod up to my computer before everything happened. Thanks for any help!

    I suggest that you find a new friend.  Based on the experiences of others, the jailbreaking may well be non-reversible.  Here are some things to try...
    Restore...
    Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    If the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.
    I really don't want to recommend the next step because it's a real PIA after the fact.  However...
    Restore as new with NO reload from backup!
    IF you choose to try it, here are some cautions.  Make absolutely certain that all purchased data, such as apps, music, movies, etc., are present in the iTunes library.  Also make absolutely certain that all non-purchased data, such as photos, pdf files, Word files, etc., are present and accessible somewhere on the computer's hard drive.  Be aware that you will lose all game data (scores, etc.).  Be forewarned that it is tedious recreating all your folders and putting each app where you want it.  Finally, be aware that all passwords will be wiped out and all settings will have returned to their default values.

  • I tried updating my iPhone 4S to IOS 6.0.1 and it is now stuck in recovery mode.

    I updated my iTunes to IOS 6.0.1 tonight and then connected my iPhone to the computer and began to back up and update it. It froze and now I am getting the "connect device to iTunes" image on my phone. When I connect it I get a notification on my computer saying the phone is in recovery mode and as soon as I agree to set it up I get an error. I do not have my phone connected to the computer currently and it keeps turning off, I turn it on and see the connect phone image and seconds later it is back to off. Any advice?

    I can't get my phone out of recovery mode. Even if I restart it, all it says is that it needs to be plugged into iTunes. But when I do that, it tries to restore it again and it fails. How do I fix this?

  • IOS 8 + iPad 3 + Connect to iTunes + Stuck in Recovery Mode

    Current issue
    Went to apply iOS8 update to ipad and it began the update process over wifi
    Screen went black after awhile, apple logo showed a few times, now stuck on connect to itunes logo.
    Connected to iTunes and it says "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes"

  • IOS 5 failed to install and iPhone 4 now stuck in recovery mode

    I went to update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 last night against my better judgment. It backed up etc. fine but when it went to install iOS 5 I got a pop up message from Windows (I'm  on Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit) saying that the drivers for Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) couldn't be found. I clicked the option to locate and install them automatically, that didn't work. I did it manually and selected the drivers but that didn't work either. Any tips? At the moment basically my phone is stuck on the screen with the iTunes logo and then the USB cable underneath it with an arrow pointing up, no words on the screen other than iTunes.

    Thanks for the replies, done all of that like a million times I'll just pout until the Genius fixes it
