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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • TS1363 My Ipod touch 4th Generation, Is stuck in recovery mode.

    Okay, my Ipod touch 4th generation, Is stuck in recovery mode after trying to restore and update it to the latest software. The restore failed and it's now stuck in Recovery mode. I've tried everything, and it just wont work. It won't even recognise in Itunes. Help?

    I don't know if you will see or get this because issue is old but I thought I'd try anyway.  This is what happened to me.  I don't see any responses, if you don't mind me asking, what ever happened with your ipod?  This is my son's and I don't have a store around the corner so I was curious before I make a trip?

  • My iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode with a broken 'lock' button.

    My iPod touch 4th generation is stuck in recovery mode with a black screen and I can't get it out. It has a broken lock button and I have tried everything to get it out of recovery mode. Every time I plug it into iTunes, it recognises my iPod and says 'iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used in iTunes, so I have restored it several times and every time, it says there is an unknown error. Please Help!! (my iPod is IOS 6.0.1)

    What is the complete wording of the error message that says unknown error? Usually more information like a error number is also given.

  • Updated my Ipad and now it wont get out of recovery mode.

    I have an Ipad 4 and I decided to download the latest update for it.
    The download is fine until i pick it up a half hour later and it shows me the recovery mode image. Basically telling me to connect to my computer.
    I go to my computer and plug it in, but then my itunes says that in order to connect I have to restore my Ipad.
    I very rarely connect my ipad to my computer, and since the last sync I have reinstalled Windows 7, so its essentially a new computer and doesnt recognize my ipad.
    Doesnt restore reset my ipad? I have all of my notes from my classes this symester. I cant restore!
    No matter what I have done the ipad wont get out of recovery mode.
    So please I need help!!
    How do I get out of recovery mode?
    If I cant, then dose restore wipe my files? (I dont have a backup, i rarely use my computer now, i just use my ipad)

    A "Restore" WILL erase your files but you can save them.  Read closely before you start.
    Connect via cable to the computer that you intend to 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.

  • Ipod Touch Screen wont time out?

    So about two days ago I noticed that my ipod's screen wont time out and turn off, if I for example decide to manually change a song rather then skip it from my headphones, it stays on, so i have to manually turn of the screen while I'm playing music..I don't know why I haven't changed any settings or droped it nor has any water gone in it. Is this normal? I mean its not too much of a problem but since I do use it most of the day at work it makes my battery run out much faster. Any help is much appreciated.

    It might be one of two things.
    I know you said you didn't change any thing but,
    Check under settings, general, and autolock it might be on 'Never' change that
    Or i might be misunderstanding.
    You might be use a stereo base and i don't know but if you are, the ipod, if on the 'Now Playing' page is up, will not go to sleep automatically

  • My iPod touch 4th generation is stuck in recovery mode. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, but that hasn't helped. I tried clicking restore on the computer but an error message keeps coming up. HELP! PLEASE!

    Like, every time I hit recover, it tries to contact the server or whatever and then it can't find it. The screen is stuck with the iTunes and the USB cable thing on it. Somebody please help me! Do you think if I take this to Radio Shack where my mom bought it for me my warrenty would help either get a new iPod or they could fix this for me? If anybody knows how to fix it, pleaseeeeee, pleeeeease help me out.

    Download RecBoot and see if that will kick it out of recovery mode.

  • HT1267 my iphone 3gs wont come out of recovery mode and wont restore

    I can't get my iphone out of recovery mode and it wont restore. What do I do?

    Did you use the recovery mode instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and that did not work?
    If that will not work, you can use DFU mode, but the timing of the actions is critical:
    Power down the iPhone, start iTunes on the computer, connect the USB end of the cable to the computer.
    Press and hold the power button on the iPhone while attaching the other end of the cable, and continue to hold the power button for three seconds.  Then, while still holding the power button press and hold the home button.  Continue holding both buttons for ten seconds, then release the power button and continue to hold the home button for an additional twenty seconds.  Release the home button and you should be able to restore.
