    Try a hard reset. To do a hard reset hold in the home and power buttons untill a silver apple symbol appears then, follow the instructions.

    You're gonna have to restore the iPhone from your last backup with iTunes. You did do a backup before you attempted to update the software didn't you?

    I am trying to restore software on my iPad which is connected to my PC with iTunes when i'm in recovery mode a warning comes up
    "The iPad could not be restored an unknown error occurred (1604) This i have discovered probably a USB timing problem ?
    I have followed all suggestions  but still my iPad screen is locked with a iTunes logo and a USB cable beneath it, wish I had never bothered
    to update it now. Any help would be appreciated. rg

    When I restart my iPad the connect to iTunes comes up and stays on until it shuts down again, I have read a report from Apple support suggesting I reinstall iTunes so I might try that again and also your suggestion which i shall also try, but thanks again - rg1547

  • I recently did the latest update. My Ipad 2 would not turn on, and then the screen with the apple logo started flashing. I tried the recovery restore, but I kept getting error messages. What should I do?

    I recently did the latest update, and then I charged my Ipad 2 afterwards. I went to use my Ipad 2 days later, and it would not even turn on. Then after a couple minutes, the apple logo appeared as if it were loading. It continued to do this for a few minutes, and then the screen starting turning on and off. Then 5 minutes after that, my lock screen appeard and froze. Then it shut itself off again. I tried plugging my ipad into Itunes to do the recovery restore, but I kept getting error messages.

    What if you have a situation where Restore did not work. I do. The ipad mini says it is disabled, connect to itunes. When connected, it says that it is locked! I have tried using Recovery/Restore but after it completed, the ipad mini still malfunctions. It does not allow you to start the device. The slide image keeps dancing around the screen. The opening page keeps changing in size and the keyboard types on its own! What can be done to fix this????????

    Maybe a reset would help, to be followed by trying the recovery again.
    To reset, hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.  Then do the recovery.
    If this doesn't solve it, I recommend visiting an Authorized Apple Service Center.

  • What does it mean when my ipad is in Recovery mode? It's connected to my imac for software update and it says I must "restore" the ipad before itunes can be used. Will I lose everything on my ipad?

    Unless you have a backup from which you can restore, yes you will lose all of your data and settings.
    You should be able to sync your content back to the iPad if you have been syncing with iTunes all along. If you don't sync with iTunes, you can download much of your paid content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. This explains downloading past purchases.

    Unfortunately, at this point, you must restore the device before you can move on. There is nothing you can do to avoid it now.

  • I forgot my ipad passcode.  I tried to restore ipad using the recovery mode option.  However when I try this iTunes askes me to turn off the "find my ipad" option (which of course I cannot do as I cannot open the ipad).

    I forgot my ipad passcode.  I tried:
    1. Simply to restore the ipad on the computer it is normally synced with, but it askes me to enter the passcode.
    2. to restore ipad using the recovery mode option.  However when I try this iTunes askes me to turn off the "find my ipad" cloud option (which of course I cannot do as I cannot open the ipad).
    3. to remotely erase my ipad, but as it is locked down it does not seem to be connecting to the internet and hence cannot seen through my "find my ipad".
    I am completely stuck!  Any suggestions please?!?!?

    my  ipad i have been restore it yesterday my computer shut down in the middel now my ipad2 stuck in recovery mode and cant be detect by itunes and it is jaikbroken ?

    Try these steps. If it doesn't work the first time, try a second time.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off. (If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.)
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on. (Note: If you see the screen that shows you are out of battery, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.)
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode..."
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Hope this helps!
