Ipad mini stuck in airplane mode and won't reset

My ipad mini is stuck on airplane mode and I can't take it off. I therefore don't have access to wifi. It keeps asking me to enter my facetime login but I can't do that. It also won't let me reset the phone. Please help, any ideas?

Have you tried a restore in DFU mode? Sometime when a normal restore doesn't work, a DFU restore does the trick.
Entering DFU Mode on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
Plug your device into your computer with a USB cable.
Turn off the device.
Hold the Power button for 3 seconds.
Hold the Home and Power buttons for 10 seconds.
Release the Power button but keep holding the Home button.
After about 15 seconds you will be alerted by iTunes saying that it has detected a device in Recovery Mode.
Make sure that when it says in iTunes that it is in restore mode that the iPad's screen is blank, that means it's in DFU mode.
Hope it helps

My iPad is stuck in headphone mode and won't use it's own speaker was until just a few min ago any help please

UUp until just a few min ago the speaker on my iPad air was working just fine then it went into headphone mode how do I get it back to using is own speaker

It is possible that you may have some dust or lint stuck in the headphone jack opening. It may not be visible via external inspection. If you have a can of spray air - attempt to clean out the headphone jack (carefully) with the spray air. If you don't have a can of air - trying blowing sharply into the headphone jack to see if lint or dust comes out. Also try the other suggestions in this post for rebooting the iPhone and making sure that you do not have the phone muted.

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.

My iPod touch is stuck in recovery mode and won't restore?

Okay my Ipod Touch is stuck in recovery mode and will not restore because "the ipod software update server cannot be contacted". I have tried to restart my computer, restart my ipod, tried different computers, and re-intalled AND updated my itunes and it still will not restore. It is stuck on the picture of the usb cable pointing to itunes and won't do anything else. I'm trying to restore it because my memory was full and I wanted to clean it out and now the ipod is useless, please help me restore it!

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

My iPad is stuck in recovery mode, and wont stay turned off in order to use redsnow.

Alright so my iPad is stuck in recovery mode. I did some research and arrived at redsnow to fix the problem. In order to use redsnow's recovery fix option I have to power down my iPad. When I hold the sleep button though, no "slide to power off" appears, the screen just goes black then reboots into recovery mode 3 or 4 seconds later. Restarting it via holding the sleep and home buttons doesn't do anything. How do I get it to stay powered down? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I believe I may have used the wrong terminology. My iPad screen looks identical to the picture shown in the link, which is what I reffered to as Recovery Mode. I was looking for a way to return to normal functionality, without having to restore my iPad. I have never backed up this iPad and would prefer not to lose any information on it. If this is impossible then I will just restore it and carry on.
My main issue with restoring it is that I don't want to lose the pictures on it. If the restore doesn't erase the pictures, then I apologize for wasting your time and will be restoring it immediatly. However if I will lose the pictures than I'd prefer any other method of exiting this screen.

Ipad Mini stuck in upgrade mode

During softwar upgrade my son pulled minipad from USB port. Pad is stuck in upgrade mode and unable to power down. The apple icon with 1/8 of the status bar is on main screen. Any suggestions on how to get out of "stuck mode"

You can try rebooting the iPad, but if that wont work, you will probably have to restore using recovery mode.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Ipod stuck in recovery mode and won't restore. says it can't connect to the network.

My son tried to jailbreak his ipod touch like an idiot and of course it did not work. Now his ipod is stuck in recovery mode and I can't get it to restore. I get a message that says:the ipod software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later. I have internet access and everything is working but itunes can't connect to it. Why? I have been having issues with itunes for a couple weeks now. I can't connect to the store and redeem itunes cards either.

Make sure the setting for your security software allow iTunes to contact Apple servers:
iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues
As for the iPod, since he tried to modify the software, the only thing that could help would be DFU mode , we can't help much more, problems with jailbroken devices can't be discussed in theses forums, due to the Terms of Use.
Your son has to ask those people for help, which encouraged him to jailbreak his device.

My iPad mini is stuck in reboot mode and won't connect to itunes

My iPad mini shut down in the middle of me using an application and now is stuck in the reboot mode between the Apple logo and the wheel of death. I have tried to do the hard reboot many times and it just continues to circle around in the reboot loop. I tried to do the "volume up" trick as well that worked for some people and have had no luck.
I plugged in the iPad to see if I can just do a factory restore via iTunes and as soon as my iTunes recognizes the device is plugged in, it then asks me to "Please respond on your iPad" yet I cannot see anything on the iPad so it won't even allow me to do a factory restore.
Is there anything I can do to just reset the whole iPad and start from scratch? I don't know what app or program did this to it but now I'm stuck without any means to use it or even reset it!
Thank you!

thanks for the reply, brian, but unfortunately that is what i meant by the hard reboot. i've done that many, many times and it's still stuck. nothing is helping and i can't even get it to sync to iTunes to restore it.
thanks anyway!

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.

IPad stuck in Activation mode and won't restore either...

Hi,
A few months ago I installed the developer pre-release for iOS 6.0 on my iPad 2 and it got stuck in activation mode. Today I tried to to activate it again and it tells me that the "activation servers are temporarily unavailable". I tried restoring it and it wont let me. It also gives me a message that says the firmware has expired. I have connected to multiple wifi networks and they all give me the same error with activation. What is wrong?
