IPad set to restore during iOS 6.1.3 update

I have a student iPad that while trying to update the iOS to 6.1.3, the iPad went into restore mode. Is there anything I can do for this iPad other than restoring and losing all the student's data (we are not on iCloud because the stduent is younger than 13 and cannot have a personal Apple ID). Any help would be appreciated.

There is nothing that you can do now except to restore the device. The iPad will not work until you restore the iOS. Don't your students backup? I would assume that iPads being used in the classroom would be backed up on a regular basis. If they do backup, you can restore the iOS, then restore from the student backup and either sync his content back to the iPad if you are using iTunes, or download it again in the various purchased tabs of the iStores on the iPad.

Trying to Restore Iphone, IOS 6.1.3 update Problems

I am trying to restore my ihpone. The latest software is updated to IOS 6.1.3, I tell itunes to restore my iphone. The restore function then tries to download the latest IOS 6.1.3, eventhough it has already been installed. Then while downloading IOS 6.1.3, although I don't need it, an error pops up and says it timed out.

IPAD2 Booting Problem during IOS 6.1.2 Updating Process

IPAD2 no longer boot during the IOS 6.1.2 updating process. It kept displaying the Apple icon over and over after it attempted to install (the highlighted bar was never able to completed the sequence till the end of the band). Have tried hard start several times with same problem as noted (kept going back and forth with displaying the Apple Icon. Any idea how to fix this problem? The device is a 64GB and had 5GB left when the update problem occured. Thanks

Do you have any success on this problem? Got the same stuck: after updating got a reboot with Apple logo and progress bar. Progress is going up to ~20% and then stuck. Tried to wait for 1 hour with no luck. Tried a force restart (Power + Home until reboot), all going one and one with same result.
****, I didn't even attached my iPad to computer so has no any backup. Quite disappointed

My iPad 2 locked up during iOS 6 to iOS 6.1 upgrade.

On January 28th, 2013, I attempted to upgrade my iPad 2 operating system, iOS 6 to iOS 6.1. During the downloading process, the iPad 2 locked up 1/3 of the way. I've tried to power-on-reset (POR) using the on/off switch + home button to no avail. My iPad 2 is a "Vegetable." It's locked up with the Apple Logo on a blank screen. This process has been ongoing for over 12 hours. In addition, the iPad's screen flashes on and off every 30 seconds with just an Apple Logo displaying. PLEASE HELP ME . . . I'm desperate!

If you have the sync cable connected to the iPad, disconnect it but leave it connected to the computer. Hold the power and home buttons until the iPad is off (nothing shows on the screen) and release it. The iPad should now be powered off. Hold the home button and connect the sync cable - keep the home button pressed until you see a picture of the cable and iTunes icon on the iPad screen. On your computer you should see a dialog box indicating the iPad is in recovery mode. You'll be told you are about to restore the iPad to factory conditions. You'll have a lengthy download while the OS is downloaded and restored and then you'll have to restore your apps and music from a backup.

IPhone 3GS froze during iOS 5.1.1 update - how do I get out of recovery mode without having to restore?

So I tried to update my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5.1.1, like iTunes told me to do, and it froze part way through the installation for a couple of hours. I tried to "reset" the iPhone by pressing both the home and power buttons simultaneously, but now iTunes tells me my iPhone is in recovery mode. From my limited knowledge, it seems I need to restore my iPhone, but I don't want to lose anything, like my SMS history.
Is there a way to get out of recovery mode without having to restore?
Thanks!

I came across this post as my iPhone 3Gs had gone into recovery mode on its own accord.   I had hundreds of photos unsaved and was gutted when I saw this post, I felt even worse as it was not the information (gdgmacguy) I wanted to read.
Unfortunately, the above post is simply wrong! A system cannot destroy information in a blink of an eye.   If it were that easy, the forensic teams across the world would have a hard time. A criminal could simply force a phone into recovery to remove all the data. Please!
I managed not only to take the phone out of recovery mode but also, salvaged all the data held on it.
To be fair, I am a little annoyed at Apple for not offering a salvage option on the device for such a situation. And it may be that they will not like me sharing this information, in which case I believe this view to be morally wrong because photos are so important. We all make mistakes, in terms of forgetting to backup from time to time.
What I used was the Redsn0w software, running as an administrator in XP compatibility mode. In the ‘Extras’ section it as a Recovery Fix option. It simply runs some software that takes the device out of recovery mode. I had to run it twice for some reason but the second time (out of desperation) worked a treat. The phone is now exactly as it was before it went into recovery mode. More to the point, it allowed me to backup all the photos and videos that I had failed to do before hand. And let’s face it, photos and videos are usually the most valuable stuff we keep on our phones.
I hope this help anyone in the same situation. I really hope someone from apple reads it and is able to convince the bosses that a recovery option is very important. And to take note that YES it is possible to recover data on a phone stuck in recovery mode. And more than likely it would be easier for apple, compared to other non-apple professionals.
Good luck.

IPad won't restore after iOS 7.1.2

Finally downloaded the 7.1.2 update but I wish I hadn't. After downloading on my iPad 3, I got the "connect to iTunes screen." Once there, iTunes says my ipad is in recovery mode and i need to download a(nother) software update. 45 minutes later, after downloading the entire file, I get a file corrupter err 1403 message. I tried again. 45 minutes later, the same result. i turned off my firewall. same thing. Apple wants to charge me $20 to chat with a service tech (after THEIR update fried my iPad). Any help from someone NOT affiliated with Apple would be appreciated.

IPad 2 battery drain after iOS 5.0.1 update!!!

iPad 2 battery is draining way too fast after the 5.0.1 update - I've lost over 10% just browsing the apple site over wifi for about 10 minutes - with no other apps running. NOT ACCEPTABLE APPLE!!!
Same issue with my iPhone 4 that went from 62% when I went to bed last night to completely dead this morning - unused!!
Apple - roll 5.0 back out to replace this battery leech. I need to be able to actually USE my products.

Shirley 123 wrote:
Same issue here! I've been reading on my fully-charged iPad and the battery is down to 78%. Never did this before the latest update. Yesterday, iPad quit before my usual evening reading! Any solutions!
I have personally seen the problem and corrected it on numerous models now including the 4S, 4, 3GS and iPad 2s. Corrupt system level settings created by an iOS 5 bug in the original release that caused battery recalibration issues, etc. Just installing the update does not fix the issue in most cases (sometime it initially can be worse). You need to clear out those settings and recalibate the battery. For those still having the "standby battery drain" issue follow the procedure below in order. It does fix the problem in most cases.
Go through these steps to address the battery after updating to iOS 5.0.1:
1. Reset all settings (settings app-> general-> reset)
2. Go through initial setup steps (lang, wifi, siri, enable location, etc) and choose setup as new phone (don't worry your apps, data, contacts, mail will still be there). At this point, Do NOT restore from iCloud or iTunes (It can copy back corrupt settings)
3. Turn off system location services timezone and iAd
4. Fully discharge battery (tilll it shuts off with the spinning wheel)
5. Fully recharge battery (overnight if possible)
In my experience this improves the Standby battery drain issue significantly in most cases. It reduces drain from 2-4% or more per hr to 0.5% or less. It has worked for many, many users now. If it does not work after a few try's you may have a real battery or hardware issue and should contact Apple. Good Luck!

My iPad Air is useless after iOS 7.1.2 update

I was updating my iOS to the new version 7.1.2, in my iPad air, and after while the screen changed to the iTunes icon in the center with the connector to plug in. I did the connection to my iTunes, followed the instructions, and a message pops up informing that my iPad could not be recovered. What I can do?
I already did this several times: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.

Hi BrLion,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the message your are getting. If you are able to connect your iPad to iTunes but are getting an error or alert message when you try to restore, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

On the other hand, if you are getting a specific error code when you attempt to restore, then this article may be more useful:

IPad 2 iBooks unresponsive after iOS 8.1.1 update

After updating to iOS 8.1.1 on my iPad 2 this morning, iBooks fails to launch properly. It seems to freeze with a blank screen (no Library), then the iPad goes back to my home screen. Double-pressing the Home button shows my iBooks Library window, but when I switch to it iBooks is completely unresponsive. I have shut down and restarted my iPad, but the same thing happens.
Any suggestions?

Owner of an iPad 2 here with iOS 8.1.1. It sounds like the iBooks app has been corrupted somehow, as it works fine on my tablet.
Did you upgrade from iOS 7 to iOS 8 on the iPad over the air? The reason I ask, and this applies to ANY operating system, is that garbage from an older version can be carried through into the newer version giving exactly the kind of problems you describe. I would recommend that for any new major release of an OS to scrub the device and set it up as a new machine. This is a short-term P.I.T.A. but it does help preempt these kinds of niggles.
In your case let's try the non-drastic approach first: if you can, uninstall the iBook app and then reinstall it via the App store. This usually fixes minor annoyances, but if the iPad persistently misbehaves, nuking it via iTunes might be your best bet. Backup your stuff before you do that, though.

Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

Frozen iPhone 5s during iOS 7.1.2 update

Hi,
I'm having a problem updating my iPhone 5s:
iPhone 5s with 7.1.2 installed
Started over the air (wifi) update (plugged)
Everything went smoothly until my iPhone restarted to complete the installation process; now the progress bar is frozen between 1/2 and 2/3 of the way
45 minutes and nothing happening ....
I have read on another thread that people tried rebooting and it seems to work but I'd prefer to wait rather than have to go into recover procedure with a faulty installation.
Anyone with the same problem ? Any solutions
Daniel

I tried sack solution and it worked. I will check the thread you are referring to.
I guess I will find out if that resulted in a faulty installation in the next few days.

HT1222 iOS 7.0.2 update storage issue!

My ipad 2 has recieved the iOS 7.0.2 update but it won't update. It's saying i need atleast 2.9 GB and I don't have it, even though I have 13.5GB available. How do I solve this?

If your data is important, you should back up before installing
any update. If you don't mind possibly having to redo all your
custom settings, avoid the 'hassle' of backing up and take your
chances.
