IPod in "recovery mode" please help!!!
Hi,
Up until last week, I have had no problems with my iPod 30gb, but last week it wouldn't turn off. I tried all the five Rs suggested by Apple and updated my iTunes, and none of them worked. Now when I connect my iPod it says that iTunes has located an iPod in recovery mode and that it needs to be restored. So I clicked on restore and it deleted all my music and pictures, and then I got the message about it being in recovery mode and needing to be restored ... and again ... and again. How can i fix this?! Please help!!!!
Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? Have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if restoring doesn't work, it may be of some help: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore

I'm using iPod touch for a year now. It was doing fine this morning but in the afternoon suddenly when I took it out of my bag, the screen was just black and it wouldn't turn on and stuff. So I thought it didn't have battery so I charged it didn't work. I plugged to the computer and it said iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before in can be used with iTunes.
Maybe my bag was little wet today but i don't think that is why.. since it wasn't that bed.. just some paper was wet and stuff..
What should I do..? Please help me.Connect to the Computer you Usually Sync with and Follow the Steps Here...

Are you running modified software on your phone? This error seems to be common if the firmware has been modified and you're trying to restore the phone again.

IPod Stuck in Recovery Mode Please help!
Hi,
I have a an iPod touch 2g which I turned off one day and it never turned on again. I plugged it into iTunes and it shows the iPod in the main window with the restore button and the check for update screen. Before I have a chance to press anything, a window pops up saying, iTunes ha detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore your iPod before you can use it again. When I click OK the iPod ejects so I cannot restore it. Every time it does this. Ive tried everything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks you!Hi there mmimadi,

My itunes tells me my ipod is in recovery mode Please help
my itunes tells me my ipod is in recovery mode and i need to restore it. when i restore it it gives me the same message. ive tried trestoring it numerous times. i dont know what to do. im an ipod junkie, and ive been without my ipod for at least 6 months now.
Make an appointment and take the iPod to your nearest Apple store now, if it's still under warranty.
This is important; did you or did you not save you downloads and do a full remove or re-install of iTunes?
If it's not then matters can get drastic (and expensive) so check that out first.
Post back so we know what's going on. -

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

My iPhone 4 s is stuck in recovery mode, please help!!
My phone got stuck in recovery mode while updating. The restore won't help in my iTunes.
After playing with it a bit more and holding down my home button I got the phone to restore. But now, it won't power back on unless plugged into the charger. And even then, it's stuck in recovery mode and i can't get it out. PLEASE HELP ! I am not under warranty and can't afford the Apple Store's repair prices.

HT1414 after i updated to IOS 6, It put my ipod into recovery mode. HELP
I've tried numerous times but, Whenever I try to restore my Ipod it says " there was a problem downloading the software for the Ipod "Ipod" .The network connection timed out."
"Make sure your network setings are correct and your network connection is active. or try again later." What does this mean? i know my network connection is active. this only happened after i updated, and my ipod is not jailbroken either.- Disabling the computer's security software (antivirus and firewall) during the download and update usually resolves that problem.
- If not not a manual install as included here:
