IPad Stuck in Recovery Mode - Help!!!!!

Problem 1: My iPad apps and movies are on an external drive because the space on my iMac internal SSD is only 256GB. My iTunes Media Folder [500GB of apps and movies] is a lot larger than the internal SSD can hold. When I plugged in my iPad and tried to update it from the external drive, disaster struck. All my data, apps, and movies deleted, Gone!!!!!
Problem 2: The iPad is stuck in an endless Recovery Mode loop. When I connect the iPad to iTunes a prompt pops up that says “iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes” When I click OK another prompt pops up that says “Are you sure you want to restore the iPad to its factory settings” When I click on the Restore and Update button I’m confronted with the following error from iTunes: “The iPad could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9)”
When I click OK I get the same prompt pop up that says “iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes” It’s an endless loop I can’t seem to fix. My iPad is now useless and there is no iOS on it. Please Help.

As Diavonex said, Error 9 is usually the result of security software getting in the way. Read more about it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US#9
Check your security software and settings as Apple suggests in this post: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

If it wasn't Apple who replaced the battery, then you've voided your warranty. Bring it back to whomever replaced the battery and tell them they probably broke your phone.

IPad stuck in docking mode

Hi community, hi all,
i have a problem with my iPad (first ... sry for my bad english ... i'm not a native speaker).
Following issue:
My iPad stuck in Docking Mode. Means i get no access to volume keys or to volume bar in the multi tasking section. The volume bar there is empty. So my iPad doesnt play any sound ...
But when i plug in earphones or when i connect my iPad to a bluetooth speaker sound is playing. And when i plug in the iPad into the docking station and pull it off (plug out... doesnt know the word).... then sound comes out of the build in speakers for about 1-2 seconds ... afterwards iPad return into docking mode and sound is away.
What i have done ....
... i rebooted
... i hard reseted it
... i do a factory reset
Nothing work... but it seems to me like a software failure... dont know.
Next issue is that i have no warranty left for exchange at an apple store...
Any ideas from you?
Thanks for any response.
best regards

I had resolved this issue by myself.
I thought long time about it... and then i got following idea.
I thought ... mybe there is something in the connector which think ipad is already plugged into a docking station.
This helps me....
my idea was .... another product with another behavior to the iPad. So i take my iPad Camera Connection Kit... i stuck it into the connector leave it for several minutes ... and removed it.
My iPad turned back in normal mode ... All god. My internal speaker works again. Wuhuuuuu ... Maybe this solution would help somebody.

Ipad stuck in recovery mode after accidentally unplugging it while updating

ipad stuck in recovery mode after accidentally unplugging it while updating to ios 4.2 . and when trying to restore it back it wont restore, restroing error code is 6 what to do ?

I'm not sure what you can do at this point. If I had been in your shoes, I would have kept the pics in the camera's SD cards until my return home.
I'm really reluctant to suggest this but, at this point, you probably can't lose. Do a "Restore." Be forewarned that it could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
Edit...
I just took a peek at the TinyUmbrella FAQs. Your device has been jailbroke and that's likely the reason why the problem occurred to begin with. Contact the jailbreaker for assistance. Neither Apple nor anyone on the forum can help you as we do not know the characteristics of your device.

My iPad stucked in recovery mode

My iPad stucked in recovery mode, while upgrading at the end of firmware upgrade step an unknown error occured ( 1 ) and still I'm getting the same error in all my trials, any solution ?

Hi kweks,
Have you backed up your iPad to iTunes? If you have, then even though a restore will erase your data, you can restore it from a previous backup:
When using recovery mode, you can only restore iPad. All user content on iPad will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

Why is my ipad stuck in recovery mode after IOS update? I can't get it out even after I restore. Please help!

I did an IOS update and now my iPad is stuck in recovery mode and I can't get it out. I have tried to restore through iTunes, but after restore it says it is still in recovery mode. Please help!

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

HT201263 Ipad 2 in recover mode after 7.0.2 update

I researched the issues and found this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808. This did not work. It gave me this error.
HELP!!! thx

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. 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.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

Why is my iPad stuck in recovery mode after iOS 5 update?

I plugged in my iPad2 to sync and download a document. I noticed that there was an update to iOS 5 so I elected to download the update. As a result my Ipad seems to be stuck in recovery mode as every time I plug it in and attempt to connect to iTunes I get the message. "Itunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with itunes." I do so and after waiting for the update to download it tells me the same thing again. I have tried different USB ports, rebooting my iPad and the computer and disabling antivirus software. Please help me I literally need to use my iPad.

I had a similar issue with my Ipad. I had to take it to Apple, they restored the system but after that my IPad did not sync. It was not until an hour ago I read on another forum someone suggesting disconnecting the Ipad abd turning it off, then connecting it to the PC (usb port) and then turning the Ipad on. Try it it may work for you. I tried apple support 3 times before with no luck! Good luck.

Ipad stuck in recovery mode after trying to update in ios6

my ipad is stucked in recovery mode since trying to update in ios 6 any help?

Hi there rmarr1,
The only way to get out of recovery mode is by restoring the device via iTunes. If you initiated the update on iTunes on your computer, there may be a back up of the device that created before the update. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

First gen ipad stuck in recovery mode with error 28

I have a first generation ipad that is stuck in recovery mode (just shows the itunes logo all the time). I have tried putting it in dfu mode and restoring it from itunes. It gets to the point where the computer reboots the ipad and says that it is beginning the restore, but the progress bar never fills up on the ipad and I get an error 28. It charges and docks fine. The battery holds a charge for a long time. The water indicator is still white. I don't see any visible damage anywhere on the ipad.
I have checked the firewalls on my computer and tested the cable. Both are fine. I have also tried using another computer, but I get the same results.
Could it be a bad dock connector even though it charges and is recognized successfully by itunes? One of the support forums said that error 28 was a hardware issue, but is there any way to tell what is bad without having to take it in to Apple? It would cost too much to have it serviced, with it being a first generation, so I was hoping that someone out there had some ideas that could help me save it and not have to sell it for parts.

A simple search of the forum for "error 28" yields may results, one being...
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 37
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
