IPad went into recovery mode by itself during/after ios7 update. help please.

My ipad went into recovery mode during or after the ios7 update. i forgot to back up my files and now i need the notes from it. i am unsure if they are syncd to my gmail but i am not syncd to icloud. is there anyway to get my files back?
i have tried using all sorts of programs like redsn0w and tinyumbrella to try and kick it out of recovery mode. But every time i try and get out it just loops back to the itunes and cable logo. is there anyway i can get out without restoring and or losing the files inside the ipad. or is there a way to access the files while in recovery mode. thanks in advance or the help.

I have experienced a similar error with the iPhone 4S.  The new version of iTunes will not let me restore the phone, it must be updated and nothing appears to be happening.  Suffice it to say I am not amused.  Apple needs to work this out - I had trouble updating to 8.0.2 as well.

  • My Iphone 3GS went into recovery mode while I was trying to update to the iOS 6.1.2

    My Iphone 3GS went into recovery mode while I was trying to update to the iOS 6.1.2
    I need help fast. I'm on call and this is my only phone.

    It finally restored. I saw that a couple folks said they kept trying and finally got restored. So I decided to keep trying and retrying while I researched the techno routes folks described--DFU, tinyumbrella, and scary programming processes. I decided I'd rather put my sim chip in one of our old iphones and take mine to a shop than suffer through a bunch of complication. I switched to Apple b/c I got tired of playing programmer. I digress. After a few minutes itunes would drop my phone from dashboard yet continued showing the checking with Apple...status. So I repeatedly force-quit itunes, restarted phone, unplugged and plugged back into computer. Each time I'd do whatever itunes prompted then walk away. After about an hour of this, for no apparent reason, it went directly into recovery. Didn't lose any photos but did have to reinstall most of my apps. It has to be an Apple network issue related to this particular upgrade.

  • Tried updating my iPad mini to iOS 8, it went into recovery mode and when I try to update then restore it on iTunes it says the download will last 300  HOURS and then it says something like "Connection failed"?

    I tried uppdating my ipad then it went into recovery mode. I thought "oh no problem, my phone has done this before". So, I hooked it up to iTunes and started to restore/update it, but when the update began, it said it would take 24 hours to download. Already abnormal. Then, the number kept rising higher and higher until it got to 300 HOURS. Then, once it reaches a certain 300, it says "connection failed. please check to see that you have a working connection or try again later" or something like that. So, my iPad is now stuck in recovery mode and I can't exactly talk to people now. What do I do?

    Hello aZaa4401
    Sorry to hear about your issue. I would start your troubleshooting with the article below to check to settings of your computer to make sure your connection is good to the iTunes Store.

  • 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.

  • I have a ipad mini 16GB and i was trying to update it to the latest version of ios7 when it went into recovery mode how do you get it out using a windows 8 computer?

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

  • Forgot the passcode to my ipad. When I went to restore it, it asked me if I wanted to update the software so I said yes. It then went into recovery mode, I'm guessing, with the connect to iTunes showing on the screen. Now iTunes will not recognize it??

    Then you will need to try restoring it once more:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, 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. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device 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.

  • I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.something to get rid of a notification and it went into recovery mode!!! My photos are not backed up or on icloud. i havent restored yet bc i cannot lose my photos but tinyumbrella wont work. HELP! please:(

    I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.something (something about the speakers) to get rid of a notification and it went into recovery mode!!! My photos are not backed up or on icloud. i havent restored yet because i cannot lose my photos/videos, etc. but tinyumbrella wont work to exit recovery mode. HELP! please:(
    i tried tinyumbrella (and another similar software) to exit recovery but it only remains on the apple logo stuck there. please is there anything else i can do? i've contacted apple and they have told me the only choice i have is to restore and lose all my data.
    my iphone isn't jailbroken and i've updated before without this problem so i'm not sure what has happened. is there anyyy hope please ???

    First I would try to hold down the power and the home button for about 15sec, but at least as long as the iPhone restarts, if it is still stuck or still in recovery mode then I can suggest you the tool "Wondershare Dr. Fone for iOS", it is both a Windows and Mac tool and I just used it today to get my iPad out of the Recovery mode.
    Tell me if any of these options worked for you.

  • Iphone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore, only option available now is to "restore and update" however this will not work, how can you restore from a backup once in recovery mode and only option is "restore and upgrade"? Please help!

    iPhone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore it. Now the only option iTunes allows is for "restore & upgrade", it is not offer an option to restore from a backup, says that must first do the upgrade, when attempting to do the upgrade the iPhone won't accept it.
    How can I restore from a back up in recovery mode when the only option is "restore and upgrade"?
    Please help.

    You don't you must restore your phone first and then you will have the option to restore from your backup.

  • Iphone 4 went into recovery mode.....

    Iphone 4 went into recovery mode and once connected to Itunes and restore began it would either fail to restore and show an error message or would not be able to finish restore even after trying for about an hour. Any solutions? I was trying to update to iOS 7.0.4 when it went into recovery mode.

    As mentioned in the support document those errors relate to USB issues and/or security software. Make sure you are not using a USB hub and temporarily disable your security software. If you have a lot of different things connected via USB on your computer, remove everything except the phone, keyboard and mouse. Do not use USB connectors in the keyboard or monitor. Use one right on the comptuer itself.

  • TS3681 I went into recovery mode - and keep receiving error 4005 - tried different usb, computers, did all updates possible nothing helps, my iphone screen shows apple logo and constant waiting circle

    I went into recovery mode - and keep receiving error 4005 - tried different usb, computers, did all updates possible nothing helps, my iphone screen shows apple logo and constant waiting circle

    Same here. I tried to update my iPhone 5S and iPad 4 to 7.1 but iTunes wiped out them. This thing already happened for iOS 7.0.6 update. What happened to Apple? I am really curious whether Apple is aware of this problem.

  • My iPhone 4s randomly went into recovery mode and iTunes can't get it to restore.

    Last night my iPhone randomly went into recovery mode on me. Just before I went to sleep a bunch of static lines appeared across the screen. The screen went dark and a few seconds later the Apple logo appeared. A few seconds later is disappeared. A few seconds later it came back. So on and so forth. I thought I had turned it off and was going to deal with it in the morning, but when I woke up the iPhone still just had the Apple logo going on and off again.
    I've tried everything today. All the different button hold methods out there. I've tried to sync it to iTunes but the same **** keeps happening over and over again.
    A message pops up saying "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." So I press OK. Then I press the "Restore iPhone..." button on iTunes. It asks me if I'm sure I want to "restore it to the factory settings" and I click "Restore and Update". It then says that its "extracting software", "preparing the iphone to restore", "waiting for the iphone", then "verifying iphone restore with Apple". As this is going on the "connect to iTunes" sign is shown on the screen of the iPhone. When the "waiting for the iPhone" part starts, my screen goes black, then the apple logo pops up. The "verifying iphone restore with apple" comes on the iTunes and the status bar appears underneath the Apple logo on my phone's screen. It sits there for a couple of seconds with no progress and then the screen goes black. Then iTunes has the same **** message saying "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be resotred. An unknown error occured (9)."
    I've gone through this process countless times in the past few hours and have done everything that apple support has told me. The windows system is fully updated. So is the iTunes. I've restarted the computer. I have no idea whats wrong and its making my blood boil.
    A couple of notes about the phone:
    It's over a year old. It's never had water damage. It was nearing the max capacity of its internal storage. This has never happened before. I keep it in an Otter Box. I had very little problems with the phone. Lately a couple of apps like snapchat and the barstool sports app were taking a little longer to open up or would randomly close out and sometimes my camera would take a while to get going. But this problem is just ridiculous and completely rendered the phone useless.

    Hello Sean,
    It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

    If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:
