Hi there lyfsh,
It sounds like your device isn't being recognized by your computer. If so, you may find the article below helpful.

    Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store    
    For without iTunes
    If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.

  • Ipad stuck in recovery mode and won't restore--error code 1604

    I tried to backup and update my ipad this evening and when doing so it now is stuck on the itunes and USB screen.  When I connect the Ipad to the Itunes it says the Ipad is in recivery mode and to restore.  I click ok and it tells me i can't restore the ipad and gives me an error code of 1604.  I have no idea where to go from here or what happened.  Any ideas?

    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
       1. Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
       2. Restore and wait for error 1604.
       3. When prompted, click OK.
       4. Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
       5. iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
       6. Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • My iPod touch is in recovery mode, how do I get it out of this?

    My daughter's iPod touch is in recovery mode (we know this by the code it gives us when she plugs it in to the computer), how do we get it out of this?  We have tried resetting by holding down the on/off button and the other button on the bottom front of the iPod for 30 seconds to a minute and nothing happens.

    Two ways to get the iPod Touch out of recovery mode.
    From iTunes click "Restore" this will download the latest iOS for your iPod Touch and install it.
    Second way is to press and hold both the home button and the sleep button for around ten seconds and release them when the Apple logo shows on the screen.

  • Is it possible to do a backup while my ipad is in recovery mode? Or to restore it without losing my photos?

    hi everyone!
    I NEED YOUR HELP!!!!
    yesterday i updated my ipad to the latest iOS version and my Ipad is now stucked on recovery mode. Unfortunately, I have no backup and I have many photos in it that I don't want to lost. Can someone help me please!
    I searched on internet and didn't find anything to help me. Are my pictures now erased? If I go to the apple store, would they be able to help me?
    thanks

    I am sorry, but all of the iPad content is gone now. With no backup, there is no way to retrieve anything. You cannot backup now either. Use recovery mode, restore your iPad and download your content again and start all over. You have no choice.

    Plug it into iTunes and restore it with your backup.  You should have a backup in iTunes or iCloud.

  • How to get ipad out of recovery mode?

    how do I get my ipad OUT of recovery mode.  i don't want anything deleted.

    If you are already in recovery mode, then your data is already lost. Your only option is to restore through iTunes then reload your most recent backup which you say was some time ago. This is why you need to backup everything at least once a week. Then when problems arise, you haven't lost a lot of information.

  • Ipad went into recovery mode during ios8 update , how do i sort it?

    My hubby ( god rest his soul!!) has just updated my ipad to ios8 but it immediately sent it into recovery mode , how do i resolve this?

    Connect the iPad to your computer by its cable, and your computer's iTunes should recognise that an iPad in recovery mode has been connected to it and let you reset it back to factory defaults - you can then restore to your last backup, or just resync your content to it.
