IPad 2 updated via wifi 36 hours ago has sent it in recovery mode
Stuck in a restore loop since updating via wifi my iPad 2 to the latest 6.1 software, on reboot it's gone into recovery mode & everytime I click restore iPad the download says it's failed due to corrupt download file, tried 12 times now
try to hard reset it out. hold down the power button and the home button at the same time until u see an apple appear on the screen. if that does not take it out of recovery mode there is absolutely nothing u can do to get ur stuff off of that ipad. it is officially kaput and u HAVE to restore it using itunes unless u just want a very expensive paperwieght.

Ipad 2 will not update via wifi nor iTunes
I have waited and tried to update to iOS 7. When trying to update via wifi I get unable to check for update. I plugged into iTunes and I get there is a problem downloading software for iPad. An unknown error occurred - 12002. I click more info and nothing on this page helps. Has anyone had this problem? Help!

My Firefox updated about two hours ago. When I tried to open it after the update, it crashed and so I chose to start a new session. Now it won't open and I get a message saying "Firefox has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to this problem... Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Please help.
Have you tried closing the iTunes store app via the multitasking bar and seeing if it works when you re-open it
Have you tried closing the app via the taskbar ? (I assume that your iPad is on iOS 6, though the version that your tagline shows, 6.1.6, is not a version for iPads) From the home screen (i.e. not with iTunes store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iTunes app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
I have a 2007 iMac connected via WiFi. It has been working fine until I turned it on after a recent vacation. Network Preferences indicates that it is correctly connected to my WiFI system but the data input and output rate is virtually zero. I know that the WiFI signal is reaching the iMac since both my iPhone and iPad are working perfectly at that location. I have rebooted the router and the iMac to no avail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Geoff

hi, there, i got my iphone4 updated via wifi n its downloaded, its shows when i check the software update n when i install it, it shows verifying the software n after a couple of seconds comes back with "error while installing ios6" failed so many attempts and even tried to reset the phone, but no use, then i tried latest updated itunes too, can u believe it, it took ages to download n when it was 880mb of the 899mb file, error occured , so many failed attempts, can some one tell me what to do ? are there any issues with iphone4 updates? m scared to update it now, but really wanna get it on my phone.
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.

Itunes 12. I can not see my ipad / iphone via WiFi
Itunes 11 was upgraded to itunes 12 without a warning. Now, side bar is lost and IN ADDITION () I don´t see my ipad / iphone via wifi. How can I reset sichronization ?
How can I DOWNGRADE to itunes 11 ?SinluFrank wrote:
already tried all suggestions from the support page, except re-installing Itunes. any suggestions?
Yes. Reinstall iTunes. If that is the point at which you stopped trying the support suggestions then it makes sense to me, that you move on to the next suggestion and if reinstalling iTunes is the next suggestion, so be it.
However .... I too have issues that arise out of the blue with my iPad being recognized in iTunes and what I always do and it eventually works is to quit iTunes, restart my MacBook, and reboot my iPad.
Rebooting the iPad is the last thing that I do and only if I have no success with quitting iTunes and restarting the Mac. It may take a few tries to work, but if you are that dead set against reinstalling iTunes, then give it a try. -
I am getting error (-1) while updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1. The phone has gone into a recovery mode. Restore fails every time at "restoring the firmware" stage. Striped bar remains for a long time, then shows "error (-1)" and the restore fails. I have been doing it for last 12 hours. Help!
Thanks for your reply Michalo. I am in India and here Apple care does not work on Sundays. I have been without my phone for the entire day. Perhaps tomorrow will bring some respite. There is not solution to "error (-1)" on any forum it seems. I found one forum which suggested use of Tiny Umbrella. Any idea about that?

After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server. I have already tried the resetting with power swich and home button and plugging into computer but it says the "iPhone software update server cannot be contacted." I am locked out of my phone. Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue and get the phone working again. I will add that I am now trying to restore it on a different computer with a lower version of itunes, but the computer that it initially happened on had the updated itunes and gave me the same result ... nothing. Thanks for your help in advance.
Try going to recovery mode as described here. You may have to try this more than once to succeed.
Use the original iTunes that the iPhone synced with.

i tried to update my phone and it ended up going into recovery mode. now my phone is locked bc i dont remember my old apple ID security questions, nor does the email exsist anymore. is there anyway i can unlock my phone myself or do i have to go to apple???? ANYONE SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!!

-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

My Iphone has gone in to recovery mode every time I try to recover it states a message "The iphone "iphone' could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (2001)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#error2001
Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service. -

ITunes has detected iPod in recovery mode
Help. I am getting the following error when I plug my ipod into the desktop computer. It tells me "iTunes has detected iPod in recovery mode You must restore this iPod before it can be used with itunes." However I plug the same ipod into my laptop computer and it works just fine. It is 4 gig nano runnning version 1.3.1 ipod software. Both computers are running iTunes 7.
+It tells me "iTunes has detected iPod in recovery mode You must restore this iPod before it can be used with itunes." However I plug the same ipod into my laptop computer and it works just fine.+
If you're just getting that message on the desktop, I'd check for a Windows drive letter confusion on the desktop. There's troubleshooting advice on that possibility at the end of the following document:
