IPad Air stuck in recovery screen after update. No reset possible

Hello everyone,
I have searched the community for an answer but nothing fits really.
There are some threads regarding problems with the update to iOS 8.1 and screens stuck in recovery mode, but none of the suggested solutions work for me and I am really becoming desperate.
First of all, I backed up my iPad through iTunes (I have a PC).
Then I tried to update my iPad to IOS 8.1 through iTunes. During the update the message "an error has occured (3014)" appeared. I was prompted to set my iPad to recovery mode. So I clicked the butoon for this and after it was supposedly finished, the message "an error has occured (3014)" appeared.
So, i cannot update nor rest my iPad and the screen is stuck in "connected to iTunes" screen. I tried every possible reset (soft and hard) with no avail. I haven't used any thrird party software like tiny umbrella nor is my iPad jailbreaked or somesuch.
Please help me
Thanks in advance
Luke

Connect your device to your computer, you will probably have to reset it there. You could then update it using your computer then try syncing everything back on to your device.

Ipad 2 stuck in recovery mode after updating to IOS 5, Unknow error -1

Hi Everyone,
my Ipad 2 is stuck in recovery mode after updating to the latest IOS 5. Tried to restore, it comes up with unknown error -1.
Ive tried all that I can including the tips given in the apple forums and internet. Please help.

Hello soccerlime,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The error code "9006" in iTunes when updating or restoring your device indicates that access to the iTunes update servers is being blocked. Please take a look at the information below to help resolve this error.
Check your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.

IPad air ends in recovery mode after update to 7.0.6

After I get my next new iPad air I did a restore to my latest backup which works fine.
After That iTunes mentioned to update to 7.0.6 which I did....
And this ends in a recovery mode (I see just the cable and iTunes symbol on the screen ).... *** ! A brand new device 2hrs old !!!!
And now my question :
I starts a recovery to iOS 7.0.6. Whichs fails (with my white MacBook & latest iTunes version)
2-3 tries but in no success.
Then I tried to start the virtual machine VMware , installed the latest iTunes & uses the same ipsw file I used with the MacOS.
And this works ....
Nevertheless I got my new iPad back up running but really : what is this for a situation ??
And what I just a normal user with not experience faces this issue after bought a new apple device ???
Did somebody have a same experience with the and may a solution for me - just in case I need to recover another of my apple units
Thanks in advance

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

IPad Air not showing full screen after updating to ios 8.2.

How do I reset the screen to show all items on screen while in Safari? Screen seems to be "cut-off" after updating to ios 8.2. Also cannot view Yahoo in Desktop view. It only shows in mobile mode,

When on Yahoo, tap on the address bar once...a drobox box containing icons of your favourites should appear. Hold your finger anywhere on the box & pull down,,,you should see 'Request Desktop Site' under the address bar...tap on that & the desktop site should load.
Is your Safari screen cut off a bit at the sides? I notice that too on certain websites & usually switch my iPad to landscape mode which allows me to view more of the page without having to scroll sideways.

Ipad mini stuck in recovery mode after ios 8.1 update

i have a first generation ipad mini which usually works fine. last night the ios update appeared in my settings and i tried to install it.
i didnt have enough space so deleted some apps and then installed.
the ipad switched on at the end but said the update failed as i didnt have enough space i needed a little more. i deleted more apps and attempted to install again
this failed my ipad is now stuck in recovery mode, it hasn't taken itself out as apples help pages suggest after 15 minutes its been in recovery now for 15 hours
i have tried to connect to itunes as the screen is telling me to but it will not recover from there either as apparently i can't connect to apple servers my connection isnt working - i assume because others are having this problem as i a using the same pc to post this message so know my network is fine.
i need help to get out of recovery mode - itunes says my software is up to date so i may have this nightmare software already.

i originally tried to install the update using wifi and this did not work. i think i might just chuck the thing as looking on the boards all my stuff will be lost anyway - i backed up 2 days ago but that is nowhere to be found now in itunes or the cloud kmt

Ipad 2 stuck in recovery mode after io6 update

I have waited for months to update to io6 because I have been busy, and now that I have, I'm stuck in recovery mode giving me a (-1) error. Some say that's a hardware error, but it can't be because it coincided with the update to ios6. Here's what I've tried:
Rebooting everything
Tried to recover from mac.
Tried to recover from windows.
Tried to recover using different router without wifi.
Placed in DFU mode.
Did hard reset.
Tried to hard reset with uplugging cord during download then reattaching.
Tried tiny umbrella.
Tried using different cord.
Have the latest version of Itunes.
Went into terminal and deleted file after # that some kid on you tube said to do.
I'm at my end of searching. Any suggestions???? I know it can't be hardware because it did this immediatly following the ios 6 update. Thanks,

When you do an iOS update certain parts of the hardware are used that aren't normally used. If these fail then you can get an error (-1). The error occurs not because of the content of iOS 6 but the update process itself.
If you can't get out of recovery mode with all that you have tried then your iPad likely has a hardware problem and needs replacement. Hopefully you are still under warranty.

[Zen Xtra] Stuck in Recovery Mode after updating Hard Dr

This is a long post, but I thank you in advance if you read it and think you have any ideas for me. Parts of this post were originally posted on the Nomadness.net forums and parts of it come from my personal email correspondence with one of the experienced users on that site.
Here goes:
I just installed a new HD on my Jukebox, and now I am unable to get it to download the Firmware (current or otherwise) and it remains in a state of rescue mode.
Here is how I posted my dilemma on the nomadness.net forums:
My computer is running Windows XP. I have a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 40GB that I have had for about 2 years, and have had no problems with it, using it at least 8 hours/day 5 days/week (I run it at my desk while I work). I mention that just to give you an idea of how much regular continuous use it has been getting, if that matters. I have regularly downloaded all the latest appropriate firmware, etc. from the Creative website, using the auto updater service. I have one other Creative product connected to this computer, a SoundBlaster Audigy. This will come up again in a minute.
Over time I have accumulated so much new music that I knew I had to either get a new Jukebox or upgrade the HD. Since the Xtra is no longer available new, and upgraded ones are SO expensi've on eBay, I thought I would install a new HD myself. I read the instructions posted here on nomadness.net, and purchased an 80 GB 5400 RPM Momentus 5400.3 Ultra ATA/00 Internal Hard Dri've (that's Seagate).
Ok, now. The installation went easily enough, but now I cannot get the Firmware to reload. My computer recognizes that the unit is connected - it makes the appropriate sound when I connect or disconnect the JB, and under My Computer, there is the icon for the Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra, under the "Other" category.
When I installed the HD and powered up, I got the rescue menu as expected and started with the "FORMAT ALL". I got the confirmation that it was reformatted and the expected GB of memory showed as available. SO...then I went to "RELOAD OS" and selected the "yes" option to verify that I wanted to reload via USB --BUT-- it only showed the "Start Firmware Update Now" for a second and then went right back to the menu. I have tried using the reset, and every combination of unplugging, replugging, removing the battery, putting it back in, reformatting, etc. and nothing changes. It just goes right back to the rescue menu every time.
I have the Firmware files (old and new) saved on my computer's HD, but when I try to launch any one of them, I get the same annoying message: "Your player is not connected, please connect your player". Well, if the computer thinks it's connected, then why doesn't the firmware file? I don't get it.
If I go back to the Creative auto updater on the website, it still recognizes the SB Audigy being connected, but no longer recognizes the JB.
How can I get the Firmware into the JB if I can't get it to recognize the player being connected? And why is that my computer shows it, if the Firmware file itself doesn't see it's
I received only one response that suggested I check the instructions on the Nomadness FAQs and also the great upgrade guide by Mr. Cheow, also on Nomadness.net.
This was my follow-up post:
Since I posted this earlier today, I have tried everything, and I mean everything, suggested by all of these "guides" to upgrading a hard dri've.
The problem remains that my computer recognizes the Jukebox as a portable device that is connected, but I am unable to get the Firmware file to load because it always says that my device is not connected. It should also be noted that the Nomad Explorer and other applications also will not recognize it (Notmad, JBHTTP, etc.)
Furthermore, I will add that we have two of the exact same model Jukeboxes and two of the same Dell computers running XP, etc. and in every possible combination we have tried, my Jukebox, with the new HD is the one that can not be accessed. So, I know that the connections, drivers, ports, etc. are not defecti've. The only thing that has changed since this morning is that I installed the new HD in my Jukebox.
I would love for any of you who have done this kind of upgrade to offer suggestions, as I am willing to try anything at this point.
After my last post, as a last ditch effort, my boyfriend suggested swapping the hard dri'ves in my Jukebox and his, thinking that perhaps we could get the firmware to download into his, and then switch the hard dri'ves back. Well, it looked as though it was going to work, and then the firmware update stopped almost as soon as it started and so, we are back to the same impasse. It?s the strangest thing, considering that both of us have been using our respecti've JBs daily, and have had no other problems? until I tried this.
We both racked our brains trying to think of a way we could get the firmware from the computer into the jukebox since it won?t load as long as it doesn?t recognize the player. Is there any workaround for this? By that I mean, is there any way at all to get the firmware into the Jukebox with out just launching it as a self-executing file? I know you can't just ?put? the file into the Jukebox, but is there any other means to extract it into the Jukebox so that I can use it's?
Any help you can offer would be most appreciated. I am worried that I have ruined my Jukebox and wasted $75 on a HD that I can never use?.
***Note on the Hard Dri've I chose:
I specifically chose this HD based on information posted by others on Nomadness
In particular, the newer instructions for upgrading a Zen Xtra hard dri've that were posted by an individual who used a 5400 for his own upgrade. I even emailed him with questions before I went ahead with this HD. As someone who has done this before, he felt that since this HD fits the specs of size and type being used by others doing this type of upgrade, including his own, that it would be fine. I honestly don?t think that it is the HD itself.
Since trying the swapping of HDs and Jukeboxes last night, we now have not one, but two, that are stuck in recovery mode and flash ?Firmware Problem? when rebooted. I don?t see how the HD itself could have done this. In fact, I am certain that the HD did not ?cause? the problem.
I have been reading forums about Jukeboxes (including here), anything I can find, looking for possible solutions. I have discovered that there are many people out there with the same dilemma, even those who simply updated their Firmware and nothing else, but now are stuck in the same frustrating place that I am.
***Note on the versions of the Firmware Update files I have tried:
I was going to use the newest one, but then after reading comments on Nomadness, I decided to try the older version that everyone was saying was less problematic. (see below) One of the posters had provided a link to it, and I copied it from there. I also had two other newer versions of the Firmware Update, including the newest one that has supposedly caused all the problems for others, but none of them would launch anyway ? I just kept getting that same message saying that the ?player is not connected?. Actually, to be more accurate, as I think I described in my original post on Nomadness, when I first tried to upload the firmware, it seemed as though it was going to go through with it, but never got further than one segment on the file progress display. On the screen of the player, it said it was upgrading, but after a few hours, it had gone nowhere.

If you have read this far, then please know that I appreciate it very much. If you have any further ideas or suggestions, please reply.

Amazing that someone noticed this post and took a stab at it after over a year... Actually, I found my answer long ago, and have tried to go back and post?it'son several boards where I had been looking for the answer. It seems to be such a common problem that I figure someone else can surely use this solution as I did. I would suggest that anyone?who is experiencing the frustration of not?getting their computer to recognize their device?read the very enlightening and helpful page that I am linking to here:
http://www.misticri'ver.net/forums/showthread.php?t=30939? (this is from a forum for iRi'ver, but the info and fix are uni'versal)
This simple solution involves correcting the ENUM keys in the Registry (not as scary as you might think) and deleting all instances of your player from the Device Manager and then reinstalling so that Windows and other applications will all recognize your player again. It's so simple, and once I tried it, I was amazed that's all it took to fix the problem.
?I?suggest you read the whole page and follow the instructions as they are given. I deleted and re-installed my player several times and then rebooted a couple of times before it took effect, but then it did, and I was able to download the Firmware and have had continued success with my original player that I posted about as well as others I have acquired since I first posted that message in 2006. For reasons I have not yet identified, this problem still happens every now and again, sometimes when I switch between players to synchronize. It may well be that when I use my registry cleaner or some other utility that "fixes" my registry, that it resets this particular key - but as long as it's easy to fix, it's not a problem. Hope this helps others who may stumble upon this odd little problem with the Zen Xtra.Message Edited by TrixieInDixie on -05-200709:28 PM

IPad Air stuck in recovery mode!

Tried to update my iPad Air to iOS 8 this afternoon. Plugged into my brand new Macbook Air (about one month old), backed up to iTunes. Clicked to begin the update and install, left the room.
Came back to find the iPad Air in recovery mode (iTunes logo and lightning cable on the screen). iTunes reporting that it has detected an iPad in recovery mode and needs to restore. Since I have a backup already, I go ahead and click on Restore iPad, and then Restore and Update (my only option besides Cancel).
The progress window gets all the way to "Restoring iPad Software" and the progress bar starts to climb, but then I get the error message:
"The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9)."
I've repeated this process many times, usually the error occurs right at the beginning of the progress bar, but one time it almost got to the end before giving me the error message.
I read up on Error 9 and it says it may be something amiss with my security software. I have not installed any antivirus or firewall software. My firewall is off and always has been. Like I said, this is a pretty new Macbook Air, I've installed very few programs on it (Crashplan, Dropbox, Google Drive, Lightroom).
Any thoughts on what to do? It's completely frustrating. My iPad's been bricked. ;(

Ipod stuck on apple screen after update

I did the update from my ipod touch for the iOS 6.1.something, it finished and reset and is now stuck on the apple logo start up screen. I've reset it using the middle button and the sleep button at the top and it flicks off and back on to the same screen. It won't connect to itunes either. I plug it in and it doesn't pick it up at all on my laptop.

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.
