    i downloaded ios5 an error message 3002 came up now my iphone stuck on loading screen and itunes doesnt recognize my iphone.
    now my iphone has a blank screen for a couple seconds the loading screen appears then apple re appears.
    A REPEATING CYCLE now i have No PHONE!!!! Help ME PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

    Try it...
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
    i´ve done it and worked 100%
    Good lucky

  • My ipod touch stuck in recovery mode and itunes doesnt reconize ipod what can i  do?

    my ipod stuck in recovery mode itunes dont reconize or show device and i dont have access to orginal computer what can i do to solve this problem

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

So i plugged in my iphone and it showed up under other as "Iphone (recovery mode)" with a yellow exclamation point. I tried to update automatically and manually but both of them say access denied. I have no means of communication without my phone so can someone please guide me through this??

    My iphone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes will not recognize my phone. I've tried pretty much every trick i can and i still do not know what to do. Someone please help me

    I've done all of these, even trying a different USB port, and still, nothing. This is really confusing. Windows 8.1 said something to do with USB malfunction or something and nothing works. I need to restore my iPhone quickly and nothing has happened. My cable is not genuine Apple product. iTunes makes the noise that it makes when I connect the device, but it doesn't say 'iPhone is in recovery mode' or even say 'iPhone' in the corner. I am really fed up and would really appreciate a response.
    Thanks,
    Nathan.

  • My phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings.  My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

    I attempted to update to iOS 8 and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings.  My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

    Hi, kformagg
    I would say yes. I once had the same problem (iPhone 5, IOS 7) and first restored to factory settings and after that from iCloud backup.
    It worked very well.

  • My iphone 5 is stuck on recovery mode and itunes is not detecting my phone when pluged in

    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) 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:
    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 GOT THE SOLUTION!!
    This problem happens due a conflict between the Samsung's Software "NEW PC STUDIO" and the Apple Drivers!
    The solution is unistall all Samsung's Software and removing all Apple Softwares as well (like iTunes, device drivers etc)
    Then cleaning the Windows Register with some software like CCleaner AND manually using REGEDIT, just find for Samsung (carefully with other Samsung Devices like HardDrive. You musn't remove something like that) then, finding for New PC Studio.
    Remove all Keys related Samsung New PC Studio.
    Restart your PC and reinstall iTunes lastest version.
    Now, you can put your iPhone in Recovery Mode that Windows will recognize it!

  • IPhone stuck in recovery mode and I NEED MY MEDIA!

    Trying to update to the newest OS, typically failed with an "unknown error (-1)" and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode and wants me to restore it. I have many photos and videos only on my phone that I desperately do not want to lose, no icloud. How can I retrieve them?? I did a sync/backup via itunes right before trying to update but I don't think that saves my photos, does it, since itunes doesn't import photos from my camera roll? Help.

    Thanks. I ended up trying to restore it, and it then gave me the same error message! With "cannot be restored' AWESOME.
    I don't have access to another computer currently. I tried pretty much everything on that page and other forums I could find except for the things that I don't understand or don't know how to do such as connecting without an internet proxy(what? tech-stupid here, I need it spelled out.) configuring security software, ports and firmware and really this is all gibberish to me. It's mind baffling how I had a perfectly working phone and computer 2 days ago and now because of this stupid update I have no phone at all. Guess I'm just going to have to call apple and try to have them sort it out for me although usually when I call them I don't understand how to do half the things they say anyway... isn't there anyone who can translate more simply to a computer moron?? Hah. I'm in the middle of nowhere WV, apparently there's not even an apple store in this entire state, so that's out. Seems like everytime I have to update anything regarding apple it turns into a major problem.
