IPad stuck in recovery mode while trying to update it, can't reset it

I tried to update it, got errors 4 and 14. Tried to restore it, got errors 4005, 11 and 4013. iTunes recognizes the iPad, but iTunes diagnostics doesn't. I also don't see it in Windows (even though Windows installs the drives when I connect the iPad). Apps like iPhone Recovery don't recognize the device.
I would blame it on my cable, but it charges normally and iTunes does recognize it so I'm very confused. What should I do? I already tried a different PC, but unfortunately I don't have a Mac.

sam as mine, stucked at recovery mode

  • 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.

  • IPad 3 stuck in Recovery mode while trying to upgrade

    I attempted to upgrade my iPad 3 and received the error message that there was not enough memory. Linked it via USB to iTunes on PC laptop (updated iTunes to latest version). Error message said unable to upgrade the iPad, my only option is to Restore. However, that will erase all my data and settings which I have not backed up. Now I'm stuck. Either restore and lose all or leave iPad as is ... only problem with the latter is that the iPad is stuck in Recovery mode and everything I have tried does not release it. Would appreciate help with this as I now have a non-functioning iPad! Thank you.

    Hello ardsdon,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
    I see your iPad is stuck in recovery mode. The following article addresses putting your phone into recovery mode and restoring it.

  • IPod Touch 4G stuck in recovery mode after trying to update iOS!

    so while trying to update to the newest iOS (6.1), the iPod just went into recovery mode and has been stuck there ever since. When I try restoring it, it always begins "Extracting software.." only to then tell me "The iPod cannot be restored at this time because the iPod software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable".
    I have tried literally EVERYTHING to restore it but it just won't work!
    Also when I run Diagnostics, everything is fine, except for my iTunes Store connectivity part, where it says that the internet connection failed, even though my Internet works just fine & I can open my browser as well as browse the iTunes Store.
    Someone said to let the iPod drain & then recharge for 1 hour & I'll try doing that now but I don't think it'll help much..
    I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO ANYMORE  :-( someone please help!

    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • 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.

  • Iphone 4s stuck in recovery mode after trying to update

    So basically i was on iOS 7.0.0 and when my phone was below 10% and i tried to charge it, it would keep turning on and off every 2 minutes. Somebody had told me to update to the latest version of iOS, so I did. While downloading the new version onto my phone an error code popped up (error 29) and the update bar was only half full. Ever since then my phone  has been stuck in Recovery Mode and I have tried everything I know to fix it. Please  help.

    Hey Justinjoly,
    Thanks for the question, I understand how frustrating this may be. It sounds like the update process may have been interrupted, and to resolve the issue, we’ll need to restore your device in recovery mode with iTunes:

  • IPhone 4S stuck in recovery mode after trying to update to iOS 7.

    After trying several different things, I still cannot get my phone out of recovery mode. I'm studying abroad and would very much like to not be stuck in Belgium without a phone. I also don't want to go buy a new one if there's a fix for this. I have tried everything from modifying hosts to using TinyUmbrella and it still will not restore. Any ideas?

    hi, Dear Dude, I have ever encountered this kind of situation. My iPhone stuck in recovery mode and I try these two methods.
    first method is mainmenu--->then,settings--->then,general settings--->then,tap reset option--->then,reset your iPhone
    second method is to use iPhone Data Recovery. To me, a computer newbie, it's convenient and useful. It brings my phone back to normal and enables me to recover all my lost data with just one click.
    Either of it can try!

  • HELP!!  iPhone stuck in Recovery Mode after trying to update today w/new OS

    Ok my phone is stuck in recovery mode, Ive already restarted my computer & tried to shut down itunes & start it back up, it gets almost done with the restore verification and then it gives me a 1013 or something
    what to do?!
    Message was edited by: PsychedelicWonders

    Don't know if this will help but when I updated to 4.0.2 my phone gave me an error and bricked.
    I made a new user on my computer, installed itunes and then was able to update my phone without it erroring. Once I had a working phone I went back to the old user and updated my phone with all of the information that was there before. I lost a few things but had a working phone.
    Since then I have not had a problem with updating it in the old user. You might see if it will help with you all.

  • My iPhone 5c ist stuck on recovery mode after trying to update to iOS 8.0.1

    After i tried to update my i phone 5c to iOS 8.0.1 it got stuck on recovery mode and i can't restore it and whenever i try to restore it is says you phone is un eligible to be restored.

    Hello Jeff,
    Based on what you stated, it seems that the restore is not going through because if a specific build you are trying to install. Check out the article below to walk you through resolveing the issue by checking the host file or jus ttring to restore your iPhone on a different computer all together. 
    Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"

  • My iphone is stuck in recovery mode when trying to update to ios 5.

    Open iTunes. plug in your iPhone to the usb-port while holding the home button pressed. Your bricked phone should now show up in iTunes.

  • IPhone 4S stuck in recovery mode while trying to upgrade to iOS 7.0.4

    I ran into the issues with my iPhone 4S while trying to upgrade it it iOS 7.0.4 OTA and I have tried everything I can to recover it but no luck. I have tried different USB ports, different PCs altogether with av tuned off, and finally a MAC Pro this morning. I am stuck and miserable. I did everything that a number of forums have mentioned in terms of switching off anti-virus, clearing off host files, checking windows and mac firewall settings, setting the phone to DFU mode and trying over - you name it.
    The error I run into most half way through the upgrade is "Unknown Error (29)". According to Apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694), it has to do with anti-virus but last night I spent 2 hours building an image with no av or firewall running and tried and still ran into the error. Even tried "Fix it" from Microsoft to clear off the host file configurations as prescribed.
    Any help is welcome. Much needed.

    Hi, sorry for my late reply.
    FIXED!!!! For me anyway, and I hope for you!
    So I tried to update to ios 7 and after downloading the software itunes tried to update my iPad 3. I recieved the error 3004 and was stuck in the "Connect to iTunes" screen and
    could not get out of it. Completely annoyed!
    But then I remembered something from when I used to fiddle with iphones. I opened a program I had called TinyUmbrella, which can be used to force boot out of recovery mode (the
    "connect to itunes" screen).
    My ipad was still connected to itunes and in recovery mode. I opened TinyUmbrella, selected my ipad (which was just shown by the serial number), then clicked "Exit Recovery" and
    BAM!!! It immediately kicked my out of the recovery screen and started my ipad back up to my home screen.
    Now, my ipad was still on 6.1.3 since the update to ios 7 had failed. But I didn't care, my ipad was fully functional again just like I left it before. Thank God for
    TinyUmbrella! Here's the CNET link for TinyUmbrella if you need it:
