    Hi Demo, thank you for your suggestions.
    I've tried updating in the following conditions:
    1. "Over The Air" at one location;
    2. On a Windows computer running the latest version of iTunes at the same location;
    3. On Mavericks (10.9.4) running the latest version of iTunes (11.4 (18)) at another location;
    4. On Mavericks, latest iTunes over a VPN with a server location in US;
    5. On Mavericks, using a 3G connection shared from an iPhone;
    6. On Yosemite developer preview with a previous version of iTunes at the same location.
    I got the same results in most cases except for an occasional error with code 9; I'll try again in other conditions.
    Interestingly enough, I've successfully updated my devices to iOS 7.1.2 and to iOS8 GM without any issues at the same location but, of course, no two conditions are exactly the same

  • Ipad in recovery mode not recognized by PC or Itunes

    Hi All,
    I have a Ipad 1 that's stuck in recovery mode ( usb wireplug with itunes logo on top ), the really bad thing is that it's not recognized by and PC or any Itunes I tried, so there is no way to kick it out of the Recovery... When connected to the wallplug to charge it doesn't do anything, screen stays black. I tried all the obvious thins allready, holding down the home and powerbutton for 10 seconds etc etc, tried to find it in the device explorer on the pc ( It doesn't even register as a camera or harddisc in my computer ), It just loops into the recoverymode everytime I try any of the well known methods... Anyone have a better suggestion for me, maybe even the solution? Thanks in advance!!

    1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • Upgraded iPad 2 to iOS6 - asking me to connect to iTunes - when I do, my Mac is saying 'detected an iPad in recovery mode but need to upgrade iTunes to a newer version (our Mac too old to upgrade). How do I restore iPad so I can use it again?

    I upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS6 following a prompt from the application icon. 
    Once that was complete, my iPad asked me to connect to iTunes which I did.  iTunes then told me that it detected an iPad/iPod in recovery mode and I needed to have a newer version of iTunes to restore.
    I've tried before to upgrade to a new version of iTunes but was advised my Mac was unable to support this due to the Mac's age and old operating system.
    How, therefore, do I get back onto using my iPad 'cos at the moment, all I get when I switch it on is the 'connect to iTunes' symbols.
    Help please, I'm getting withdrawal symptoms!

    During a normal install of iOS 7.0.6 this does not happen but something clearly went wrong in your installation.
    To fix this, connect to iTunes and restore to Factory. Hopefully your iPad will be working again and you can restore your iCloud backup during Setup.

  • Ipod classic is not getting detected by Itunes.

    There were problems from when I updated my system to windows8. But some how in 2-3 times it usually detects the ipod and I was able to sync music. But now Itunes is not at all detecting my Ipod. I tried in different systems, in windows 7(which crashed and showed a blue screen) and XP but in that too it is not detecting. When I connect the Ipod,it makes some noise and windows shows that there is some problem with the device, fix it. When I click in that for repair, after scanning, pop up comes which says there was no error and the device is ready to use.
    But in MAC it is getting detected so there is some problem with windows only.
    I tried everything which was there in the internet. Please help or tell me the reason for this.

    Hey there Aakrisha,
    It sounds like you are connecting the iPod to your Windows 8 based computer but it is not working as expected. I want to recommend the troubleshooting steps outlined in this article named:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    Here is a general overview of the troubleshooting to be done, each link has its own set of steps to try.
    1. Update iTunes
    2. Check the USB cable
    3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
    5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
    6. Check for third-party software conflicts
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Iphone not getting detected by itunes after upgrade to 10.5

    Hey guys,
    Last night after the release of 10.5 itunes, my iphone is not detected in itunes. I dont know what's the problem, I am on Windows 7 and It's able to detect my iphone just as a camera. I've tried using it on my friends laptop running windows vista, there i'm able to detect my iphone but no on my comp.
    I've tried starting services from Administration i.e. apple mobile and ipod services.
    But i'm not able to find any solution to it. Do let me know guys if any one of you is facing this problem with me and does anyone has the solution to it?
    Thanks alot guys,

    I am having the same problem although I think mine is probably worse than yours. My iphone was detected by itunes both after i updated it to iOS 5.01 and after i jailbroke it. I then downloaded a few cydia apps and it would no longer detect my camera folder on my computer...so I said screw it I'll start over. So I deleted all the cydia apps/tweaks I downloaded and then I was able to see my camera folder again.
    BUT WAIT now itunes wont detect my iphone. I tried redownloading all my tweaks and apps but I still get nothing. I tried reinstalling cydia but still nothing. I tried connecting my iphone to another computer with a fresh copy of itunes and still nothing. This is REALLY bad since now I can't even restore my iphone. PLEASE HELP!

  • Recovery partition not getting detected

    Hi,
    i am using dv6-3000 series laptop.the problem is when i last formatteed my system, i moved my recovey partition inside another partition. Now i am trying to revocer my system as my OS got corrupted. But while recovering its not detecting the recovery partition. Is there any way to make it detect.Pls help me out.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    If you've altered the Recovery Partition, it's extremely unlikely you will get it to work.
    There are Two options open to you.
    1. You can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below.  Using these to reinstall your operating system will also re-create the Recovery Partition on the HDD.
    Order HP Recovery Discs.
    2. An alternative option you could try is described below.
    Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
    An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
    You can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the exact same version that originally came with your notebook ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
    Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
    Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

  • Ipod not getting detected in Windows

    I have this iPod shuffle(512 MB) which plays songs perfectly but there is this problem since past few days that its not getting detected at any of the computers. I have downloaded the latest updater n tried installing that also but of no use. I had purchased it from US and now i'm in India.
    Please tell me what to do ?
    You can contact me on [email protected]

    the shuffle will only actually work with one itunes library, so what do you mean by "any of the computers". if you haven't already, pick the computer you want to use, ensure that itunes 4.9 and the latest updater s/w is installed, then conect your shuffle, and under explorer reformat the shuffle. then disconnect and re-connect the shuffle, and reload the updater s/w. this will remove all the tunes from your shuffle, but should work ok

  • Ipod Touch not getting detected after IOS upgrade.

    I have recently upgraded the firmware of my Ipod Touch (1G) to IOS 3.0.1 and was successful in upgrading.
    The issue i am facing is that my ipod touch is not getting detected after reconnecting and the ipod touch is not getting switched on...it is just showing the apple symbol and the progress bar.
    Please let me know if anyone has faced similar type of issue.
    Please also let me know the resolution for this.

    Are you using a USB hub? Try connecting the iphone directly to the computer's USB port and see if that makes a difference.
    Also, with the upgrade, this seems to happen a lot. Most of the time if it is not the USB issue above, it can be resolved by simply redownloading Itunes and installing it on top of your current installation.

  • IPad abruptly quit, started playing Gaga's Scheibe song and will not now show up in "Devices" on iTunes.  Keeps telling me it detects an iPad in Recovery mode. Cannot get past that.  Help!

    How do I recover the data on my iPad2?  It abruptly quit while I was shutting down and started playing Gaga's Scheibe from "Born this Way" -- it was not coming from My Music or iTunes.  I pressed both home key and side button to get it to stop and plugged it in to recharge.  The USB connector to iTures screen showed up and that's as far as I can go.  Had an appointment at the "genius bar" this morning and all they tell me is that they can "restore" which will not save any info I have.  The last backup I did was April 2013 (I know, very stupid of me).  iTunes does not recognize the device.  It's all greyed out and I get a window that says iTunes detected an iPad in Recovery mode.  That's as far as I can get.  I really don't want to lose any data.  Please help me.  Thank you.  Nancy

    You have no choice but to lose your data back to the last backup you made.
    Here's how to do the recovery.  Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once to succeed:

    I'm sure next time, you'll be more vigilant about keeping current backups.
