Ipad 2 was stuck in recovery, now lost all apps
I went to update my ipad 2, to update 5.0.1 when it crashed. I rebooted my pc and ipad 2 then proceeded to properly do the update again. Ive now lost all my ipads, trying to restore ipad aparently works but nothing changes once its done, i still have no apps and it asks if i want to restore again. And now it's asking me to pay AGAIN for apps ive already spent money purchasing.
I will be sending my ipad to the furnace if you apple expects me to re-buy apps ive spent my hard earned money already purchasing because the **** thing decided to fail on me...?
Can someone please shed some light, thanks
Regards
Mat

Note: Previously purchased music is only available through iTunes in the Cloud in Australia, Canada, Cypress, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Previously purchased TV shows are only available through iTunes in the Cloud in the United States.
There is no mention of apps at all. I'm no expert, but that means to me that you should be able to download them again at no cost as long as you use the same Apple ID and iTunes account.
Read the article all the way through for all of the details.
BTW ..... Did you not transfer your purchases to iTunes and backup before you updated the iOS like you should have done? If the apps are still in your iTunes library, you can sync them again. You can retrieve data by restoring from a backup.

I need help. My ipad 2 was stuck in recovery mode. i tried to connect it to itunes and restore but after downloading the file and extracting the software there is a pop up message that says "the device is full. Deleting files and emptying your recycle been will help you restore." how am i going to erase files if i can't open my ipad. i dont know what to do. Its been 2 days now. please help. thanks.
yes i am sure. This are the exact words... "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. The disk you are attempting to use is full. (Removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space". i tried some options, hard reset, redsnow, tinyumbrella but still it's stuck.

TS1398 Updated to ios6 now lost all wifi connection both iPad and iPhone no longer connects to wifi
Updated to ios6 now lost all wifi connection both iPad and iPhone no longer connects to wifi
not much response in here which surprises me...
Anyway... AS I am still looking for answers, I will share a couple of points that I realised...
in Airport Utility, I noticed that my iphone MAC address was actually showing as client connected, despite my phone network showing the spinning wheel next to the network name for ever and never actually connecting.
I am currently testing the router mode in Network to be on DHCP and NAT mode with a range from .2 to .200
My phone is now connected....
Everything seems to be ok and happy so far...
strange that this router and phone have worked together for at least a couple of years, the phone works everywhere else, and all other toys connect to my WIFI just fine. the list is as follow:
airport extreme
Zeppelin air
2x apple tv
2 ipads
iphone 4s
2 mac
1 pc
I have litterally just hard reset the router with a pin just now as a last resort... same...
I will leave the router as DHCP & NAT until a potential firmware or OS update... -
I'm transfering info from my old pc to my new macbook pro, using Windows Migration Assistant. All was fine but has now lost connection (wifi) and won't reconnect. Mac is showing transfer window and I cant escape, I'm new to mac
You'll need to erase the drive by booting up holding command-option-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
Use Disk Utility to erase the disk and then Internet Recovery. That will take a while.

My IPad is stuck in recovery mode and now ITunes will not recognize it, it just gives me this long error message. What do I do, I've uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes.
Check USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support. -
I saved all of my graduate school ppts to idisk- mobileme, on my macbook. I was unable to download Lion with this computer. I have now lost all my ppts. Is there anyway these can be retrieved now?
Sorry.
They've been deleted since the end of iDisk and Mobile Me.
Only last hope is if you had turned on synching to create a "local" iDisk folder on your machine. -
I've synced my phone, accidentally, to my wife's account and now lost all me photos and data... Is there any way of retrieving it all? The bigger problem is I can remember when my phone was last synced to my account so the info list is not on there either
To see if there are any backups of your device on the computer, go to iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices.
Moving the mouse over the listed backups will tell you to which device they belong.
If there is no backup of your phone listed, your data is gone.
In case you also used iCloud to back up your data, check this article:

IPad 3 stuck in Recovery mode while trying to upgrade
I attempted to upgrade my iPad 3 and received the error message that there was not enough memory. Linked it via USB to iTunes on PC laptop (updated iTunes to latest version). Error message said unable to upgrade the iPad, my only option is to Restore. However, that will erase all my data and settings which I have not backed up. Now I'm stuck. Either restore and lose all or leave iPad as is ... only problem with the latter is that the iPad is stuck in Recovery mode and everything I have tried does not release it. Would appreciate help with this as I now have a non-functioning iPad! Thank you.
Hello ardsdon,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I see your iPad is stuck in recovery mode. The following article addresses putting your phone into recovery mode and restoring it.

I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music off my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone into the cloud. Can anyone help please?
Enabling iTunes Match does not delete music from your computer. Why do you think it is now not in the iTunes library if it was before? If all of your music was in the iTunes library then it is also now in the cloud if iTunes has completed it's scan and all the music meets the match requirements. Enable the iCloud Status column in the iTunes browser by switching to Song view and pulling down View > View Options. Select iCloud Status then close the small window. Sort on the new column. Your music should be listed as "purchased," "matched" and "uploaded." Some tracks may be "ineligible." Post back and let us know.

i connected my iphone 5 to my computer for the first time since i got it and it didnt give me any option and just started to restore it from my iphone 4s. ive now lost all my pictures that were on it. Is there a way i can get them back as i did not want it to restore my old phone anyway! i also had my hone set up to the cloud and it didnt work! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME
Can you try to use another computer?
If this does not work, visit an Apple Store or an Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place, and show them the phone, maybe they can restore it before you'll have to get it serviced.
Did you try to put it in recovery mode?

My iPad is stuck in recovery mode, and wont stay turned off in order to use redsnow.
Alright so my iPad is stuck in recovery mode. I did some research and arrived at redsnow to fix the problem. In order to use redsnow's recovery fix option I have to power down my iPad. When I hold the sleep button though, no "slide to power off" appears, the screen just goes black then reboots into recovery mode 3 or 4 seconds later. Restarting it via holding the sleep and home buttons doesn't do anything. How do I get it to stay powered down? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I believe I may have used the wrong terminology. My iPad screen looks identical to the picture shown in the link, which is what I reffered to as Recovery Mode. I was looking for a way to return to normal functionality, without having to restore my iPad. I have never backed up this iPad and would prefer not to lose any information on it. If this is impossible then I will just restore it and carry on.
My main issue with restoring it is that I don't want to lose the pictures on it. If the restore doesn't erase the pictures, then I apologize for wasting your time and will be restoring it immediatly. However if I will lose the pictures than I'd prefer any other method of exiting this screen. -

I backed up my iphone5 using iCloud before downloading the new ISO software. I have now lost all my pictures and messages as the backup doesn't seem to have worked even though it says last backed up today 17:12. Is there anything I can do?
Backing up doesn't change or delete anything on the phone. I am guessing you restored your phone using iCloud.
If you did not have a backup of it made before you did 'whatever it was you did', then the information is gone.
