IPad Air is stuck in Dfu mode and iTunes does not recognize

Hello while i was restoring my ipad air and it wasn't going on so i disconnected my ipad air while "restoring" and it was in Recovery mode and i tried restore it again and it gaved me error 2005 and i put in dfu mode and tryed it again and it gave me same error 2005 and i tried disconnecting usb cable and connect again and then iTunes didn't recognize my iPad Air what can i do?

Hey Ozan274,
Thanks for the question. If your iPad is not recognized in iTunes while in recovery mode, follow the steps in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
While you should follow all of the steps in the article, the applicable information is located in Step 5, sub-section titled “If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode”
I also see that you are experiencing error 2005, which may be the root cause of your main issue. For more information, see this article:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
Check USB connections
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.
Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
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 see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • My iphone 5 is frozen on the screen that shows a cable and itunes symbol.  I can not get the phone to enter DFU mode and itunes does not recognize the phone when plugged in to itunes.  The phone was mid update when it was disrupted....

    I plugged my iphone in to do an update and it was mid way through the update when the phone was accidentally disconnected.  Now the phone is stuck on the screen that shows a cable and the iTunes image suggesting the phone needs to be plugged in to iTunes.  I have plugged it in, powered on and off, attempted to enter DFU mode numerous times all with no success.  ITunes does not recognize the phone and I continue to only receive the screen saying I need to plug in to iTunes..  Please help!

    Hold Sleep Button with Home Button toghether until it restarts Always it takes 8 to 15 seconds, after it restarts leave the sleep button and remember do not leave the home button it automaticlly switches to DFU mode.

  • My iphone 4s is stuck on recovery mode and itunes does not recognize it at all.

    Hi. Last night I left it updating 5.1.1 from 5.1 when I was going to bed. And at night I heard usb noise and woke up. iTunes had an error, I did not remember what is written there because I was sleepy. I think it was like 1612 error but I'm not sure.  There were an itunes logo and an usb wire on the phones screen. And I cant get rid of it. iTunes does not recognize the phone in "DFU mode" too. I need the phone today and I dont know what to do. Please help me. Sorry if my english is bad.

    This program got me out from the loop. I dont know sharing it here is legal or not. But it is the solution for this problem. However I'm still wondering why I faced a problem like that. Is an update is that hard?

  • My iphone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes will not recognize my phone. I've tried pretty much every trick i can and i still do not know what to do. Someone please help me

    My iphone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes will not recognize my phone. I've tried pretty much every trick i can and i still do not know what to do. Someone please help me

    I've done all of these, even trying a different USB port, and still, nothing. This is really confusing. Windows 8.1 said something to do with USB malfunction or something and nothing works. I need to restore my iPhone quickly and nothing has happened. My cable is not genuine Apple product. iTunes makes the noise that it makes when I connect the device, but it doesn't say 'iPhone is in recovery mode' or even say 'iPhone' in the corner. I am really fed up and would really appreciate a response.
    Thanks,
    Nathan.

  • My iphone is stuck in emergency call mode and itunes does not recognize my phone

    my iphone is stuck in emergency call mode and itunes does not recognize my phone

    NVM... broke down and called Apple Care.  Pressed on/off button and held it for a few minutes before pressing home button.  In recovery mode, but at least it is doing something now!

  • DFU Mode and iTunes does not Restore only Update

    So we terminated one of our employees and he put a lock on the company issued phone.  I've put the phone in DFU Mode so I can just restore it through iTunes but iTunes keeps trying to Update before the restore then saying it cannot because the device is locked.  How do I get iTunes to ONLY do the restore and not the update? 

    You mean a passcode lock?  Try recovery mode.
    Have iTunes up and running on the computer.  Make sure it has the most recent update (11.0.4, I think)
    Turn off the iPhone.  Connect the USB cable to the computer, but not the iPhone.
    Press & hold down the Home button on the iPhone, then plug in the cable to the phone.  Wait until you see a picture that has the iTunes logo, an arrow, and a picture of the cable.  Then you can let go of the Home button.
    iTunes should detect a device in recovery mode.  The rest is pretty straightforward, although this article shold help. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    Be advised, everything on the phone will be wiped.  It will be like new, no user data.
    There's no way to avoid putting the newest iOS on the device, though.  Not sure if that matters to you.

  • HT201413 HELP! My Ipod touch is locked in the restore mode, and ITunes does not recognize it! what do i do? was just trying to update to latest version:(

    Hold Sleep Button with Home Button toghether until it restarts Always it takes 8 to 15 seconds, after it restarts leave the sleep button and remember do not leave the home button it automaticlly switches to DFU mode.

  • I loaded the new OS on itouch and something went wrong and now it is in safe mode and itunes does not recognize it

    I was downloading the latest OS and it started to install. Before I knew it the compputer said there was problem installing it, the itouch was put into safe mode and now itunes doesn't see the itouch. I have tried to reinstall itunes. I have restarted the itouch. And nothing I have tried has worked.

    No knowing what safe mode is, all I can suggest is:
    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.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Cannot restore my brand new iphone 4s ,got stuck in DFU mode and itunes shows error code (-1) please help?

    Cannot restore my brand new iphone 4s ,got stuck in DFU mode and itunes shows error code (-1) please help?
    repeatedly tried from diffierent computers and the same error code pops up (error -1)

    That's a hardware problem which will require a trip to the Apple store for evaluation, unless your phone has been jailbroken, then it's a corrupt hosts file (and we can't help you with that here as it is against the forum's terms of use).

  • Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it?

    Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it? I fear it may be stuck in some sort of reset loop which is stopping itunes from recognizing it. How do I go about the process of sending it in to apple if I cannot find a fix? Thank you in advance, it is greatly appreciated!!

    - See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
    - If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off (that is required to place in recovery mode), then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the reset, restore again
    - Then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apples store.

  • Windows and iTunes does not recognize

    yada, yada...
    I tried the Rs, but my new computer and iTunes does not recognize my shuffle. Can someone give me basic steps to correct this? Shuffle was previously 'synched' with another iTunes library and I don't want to erase my currently uploaded music. Help please!

    I don't know if this is the same problem, but I cannot get my I-pod Nano to sync or have I-tunes recognize it. It is a connector problem, and this is my second Nano to do it within nine months. Apple wants $32 to send it in to be repaired once again. I am irritated beyond belief. I took my Nano in to an IMAC store and they confirmed that it was a connector problem. They could not send it off nor repair or replace it though. So I've had two Nano's since Christmas have this problem.
    I would suggest that you try another device (shuffle) on your computer to ensure that it's not your computer (our other I-pods worked on the computer) and/or take it in to an IMAC store where they will see if it connects to one of their computers.
    Right now I think Apple products are basically crap...
