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.

Itunes cannot play certain songs and will not add them to the library

i have music files on both a hard drive connected to a router plus i have placed the specific files onto my mac to try to fix this issue to no avail. while songbird, vox, and several other players will easily load correctly and do exactly what i want, itunes will not play these songs, will skip over them when i try to add to the library and will not play the file if i drag and drop, try to load it through the "file, add to library" method. the files are .ogg, .m4a, .mp3, .m4p, and they just will not show up. Any media players out there that will recognize an ipod so i can load these files up and get away from my mac for a while?

@CPL_STEELE: can you try to post these specifications in your own topic? (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=985161&tstart=0)
It's not very nice to take over someone else this topic, because the topic starter (Ganieda) could have another problem than you. It's also very confusing for everyone who is trying to help because there are now 2 problems in the same topic.
Never the less, feel free to follow this topic if you think it could be interesting for you problem.

How do I get out of an iphone restoration loop, itunes keeps saying it has detected an iphone in restore mode and that it must check for software updates and reinstall the ios, it completes this process and then says: detected iphone in restore mode etc.,

Background: my iphone 3gs was running wonderfully - no issues at all, as normal.
I let the power run down to critical and got the empty battery screen - plugged it in and when it had enuf juice it displayed the cord-to-itunes-of-death-screen...
I had just backed up the previous to icloud so no worries... I just plugged in and thought ok this will just take a second...it completed the restore then said with a glazed amnesic font "Itunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode, and has never seen or restored this iphone ever before, since this is a stranger iphone, itunes does not trust it and must call the ipolice to check for contraban in its orifices and cavities, you must restore"... kidding of course... but
OMG at home I did the whole restore process no less than 20 times while optimizing and accounting for different variables each time (restoring on a new system with a fresh OS, trying to restore and a mac, restoring then restarting empty cache, restart unistall itunes then restore restart restore, installing an older version of Itunes and restoring. going back to Vista and restoring), and every single time it would complete the check, the update/check, the ios reinstall, and then whatever else and say "complete"... and then no icon menu would appear for the device in itunes so unplug the phone and replug and get the whole "Itunes must render restore aid" message. SO I went to the genuis bar at my local iBoutique thrice - each time the bewildered but very courteous and knowledgable genuis wanted to keep trying ... since I had been on this treadmill for about two weeks I decided each time to respect my fellow appletonians and not suck up genius time... but I really want my old 3gs back... why - I like that it amazes the youth who occaisonal are puzzled by seeing something apple that they don't recognize and in wonder and amazement at its age they learn that even though its no longer invited to iOS family gatherings that it still can call home and ask why Apple waited so long when it was a kid to give it copy-paste ability like all the other kids, then ask for money for the shrink bill.. ... . . ..

Soooooooo.... You obviously need to restore the device
It seems that you have tried several options to restore it. What I would do is leave it plugged it and hold down the Home button AND the Power button together till you see the white apple appears. Then let go of the Power button but continue to hold the home button. You should get the message in iTunes again saying that the iPhone needs to be restored. Hit OK then RESTORE.
Hope this helps!!

I have recently started syncing to iCloud on my laptop and iPad. It starts to sync and then stops and I get the message: you do not have permission to sync this folder. I do what it asks but cannot get past that folder? Help!

I have recently started using iCloud on my laptop syncing it with my iPad. When the syncing process starts it stops and gives me a message something like: You do not have permission to sync this folder. Then it wants me to unlock and gives other suggestions. I have done them all and still cannot get the syncing process past this folder. I is a folder in my documents. Anyone have any solutions?

HELP MY IPAD TURNED BLE WHILE USING IT THE CUT OFF AND WILL NOT CUT BACK ON NOR WILL IT REGISTER WHLE ITS CHARGING

I FINALLY DECIDED TO UPDATE MY IPAD WITH THE MOST RECENT SOFTWARE,, WHILE ONLINE SHOPPING IT RANDOMLY TURNED BLUE NOW IT WILL NOT COME BACK ON PLEASE HELP!

Howdy nhudson1,
If I understand correctly your iPad will not turn on at all. I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article, named:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on
If you see a black screen
You might need to charge your device before it can turn on. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad), then try turning it on.
You should see a battery icon while your device is charging. If you continue to see a black screen, reset your device.
If you still need help after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

HT201412 my apple ipad will turn on but i only get the apple sign and cannot get past that

This has never happened to me before. It is fully charged. Can someone tell help get past this and tell me how to reset? I do not know what operating system i have.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

After installing update itune 10.5 will not open or run on windows 7 pc keeps telling me error 7 126 and that AVFoundationCF.dll failed to load. reinstall.I have done the complete 6part unistall 10 times now and each time I get the same thing anyone have

So I installed the latest update of Itune on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit PC.( the previous versions worked fine never a problem)
It installs, and comes up with error7 126. Reinstall program again.
So I go through all six steps to unistall, and reinstall a frsh downloaded compy of 64 bit Itune from Apple Site. and reinstall again and again, went through this process 10 times still having same problem, including now also comes up with AVFoundationCF.dll missing, try to install that won't install.
So now I can not use anything apple, iteunes, safari, update etc, nothing will work, which means I can no lobger sync or update my Iphone 4S.
Does anyone have an answer for me????

I'm an applications developer and also run a part-time videography business. As such, I require more than 3.12GB of RAM. That is the physical limitation of a 32bit system. Pointless to stay on 32bit if you plan on having more than that much RAM.
I'm also not about to pay someone to fix my PC when I can do it myself. I was originally hoping for someone who had experienced the problem before to point me in the right direction so I didn't have to spend so much time trying to figure out what the issue was for myself.
Basically, in the end the problem was caused because right at the point in time when I chose to uninstall, and reinstall; Apple released a new version of iTunes. This version in turn had a requirement of iOS 4.2 to sync with the iPhone. This is a pretty embarrassing for Apple that they would release software reliant on other software before said software was released.
Had I realised I was downloading a newer version at the initial point of installation, this wouldn't have been an issue. I could've easily have rolled back iTunes to the previous version and gotten on with my life.
Another issue is that iTunes is not actually a 64 bit application. It masquerades as one to allow installation on the 64 bit platform.

HT201210 Attempted to update my Iphone this morning. Got what looks like my phone asking me to attach my phone to my itunes. Did that and now Itunes is telling me I my phone is in recovery mode and I need to restor it.

Attempting to update Iphone. It gave me a picture that looks like it wants me to attatch the phone to the computer with my itunes. Noe itunes is tellime me my phone is in recovery mode and wants me to restore my phone before it can be used with itunes. should i do this? will I loose all my pictures/contacts/songs?

You don't have a choice. Anything that was on the phone is already gone. hopefully, you've been backing up on a regular basis. If you had iCloud backups turned on, the backups should be automatic.

I am trying to figure out why my songs are cutting out anywhere in the song and will not play and skip to next.

Hi my name is jeff. I bought a ipod touch 6 months ago it was working untill now. I am wondering why it can stop at any time during any song and go silent for the rest of the song. Ive been having this problem for 2 days now. Wondering if anyone has the same type of problem. ive done everything its told to try and fix all the updates for itunes and my ipod but it still will not work.

Just saying " done everything its told to try and fix" provides us with zerio information as to what you tried.
- Do the songe play OK in iTunes on the computer?
- Have you unsynced and resynced the music
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod

My iPad 2 opens mail page but it is frozen and will not scroll

I Can open my mail page. It will not scroll

Have you tried :
- closing the Mail app via the multitasking bar and seeing if it works properly when you re-open the app : double-click the home button to open the iPad's multitasking bar and on that swipe or drag the Mail app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
- 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.

My ipod wont play music. it runs slow and will not unlock itself past the home screen since updating to ios5. and i dont know what to do. please help.

Please help me! my ipod wont play music or unlock itself. i updated to ios5 thinking this would fix it and it wont work still. it is now locked at the lock screen and the little slider bar thing wont slide over. its stuck. and i dont have an apple protection plan because i bought this ipod touch off of a friend 8 months ago. i really dont want to have to spend 300 dollars for a new ipod touch. please help.

I have been attempting to downloads updates to Firefox, and with every attempt the furthest I get is "connecting to update server". Cannot get past that to the actual download.

I get info from Firefox that updates are available, or I go their website to get the latest updates. When the process starts, I get to a screen that says that I am connecting to the server. Nothing ever gets beyond this screen.

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.<br />
You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.
Vista:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
(%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

The restore session has stopped working. It tries to load, but then gives an error message that the script is not working and will not actually show the previous tabs I had open.

I count on using the Firefox restore session feature. But it's stopped working. For the past couple of days, it hasn't worked a single time. (I haven't changed anything on my PC.) It just suddenly stopped working.
Now it gives me an error message that the script has stopped working. It gives me a couple of options. I'm not sure of the exact wording, but one option is to stop the script and the other is to keep trying. But the keep trying never works.
I have to stop the script, hence, the list with my previous tabs never comes up.

Which file is mentioned as the cause of that script error?<br />
Is that a file with a chrome protocol?
