ISO 7 current download - I Pad in recovery mode.

Hi,
I have just downloaded the latest version of ISO and now my I Pad2 is not working.
The home screen displays an image of the I Tunes logo with a diagram requesting that i log on to I tunes.
When I connected the IPad to ITunes the following happened, a dialogue box appeared stating that my IPad was in recovery mode and would I like to restore.
This would of course then remove all of my data from the IPad.
Can you please help?
Thanks.

Not sure, but there has been several posts about iPads and iPhones going into recovery mode with this update. I had no problems with my one iPad but I needed to restore my phone and another iPad before I did the update for other reasons.

    Activation lock was on before it was taken and it is registered to me

    Not if the thief does not have your AppleID and passcode AND you set
    a password to be entered before the screen can be unlocked.

    ‘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.

  • IOS 6.1 download problems - stuck in recovery mode

    If your iPad, iPhone or iPod are stuck in recovery mode, try the following:
    1.  download the firmware for your device: http://www.ngbtips.com/download-links-ios-6-1-official-firmware.html
    2.  plug your device into a computer running iTunes
    3.  when the "restore device box" pops up, control click on button to restore
    4.  restore your device from the firmware you downloaded
    Hope this helps!

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • How do I get my iphone 4 out of recovery mode

    I am having trouble getting my iphone out of recovery mode. While getting my upgrade my phone became detached from the computer in the middle of the download and went into recovery mode.  I have tried to restore the phone however while itunes is extracting data my phone will reset itself after so long before itunes can finish extracting data and when it does my itunes will not pick it.  Any suggestions??

    You can try this it has always worked for me:
    Try holding both the home button and power button until it shuts off and you see the apple logo come up.
    After that does take your finger off the power button WHILE STILL HOLDING the home button.
    This should send your phone into DFU mode where you can use the recovery option to kick it out of that mode.

  • Stuck in recovery mode no way to get out.

    Hi
    I tried to update my ipod 4G but after finishing download it went to recovery mode and when I connect it to itunes it it doesn't restore my ipod and show that error: software update server could not contracted. so I tried to get away the recovery mode but none of the ways work I try recboot and tinyumbrella and dfu mode but they didnt work.
    Now I'm stuck in recovery mode I can neither restore nor get out recovery mode.
    Please someone help me.

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

    Hello,
    I have an iPod Nano 5th generation (model number A1320) that I would like to completly restore to working condition.

  • HT4914 My wife and I both have iPhones and iPads. Can we both have access to the same iTunes Match library or do we have to have separate subscriptions?  Our devices are synced to the same computer and we currently download titles from the same library.

    My wife and I both have iPhones and iPads. Can we both have access to the same iTunes Match library or do we have to have separate subscriptions?  Our devices are synced to the same computer and we currently download titles from the same library.  We both use separate apple id's on our devices.

    You need to reconfigure your phone for use with your Apple ID. I suggest you restore yours as new then reconfigure it with your information and Apple ID. Be sure to disable Find My Phone, if it's enabled, before proceeding.

    I updated the phone before backing it up on iTunes, now the update wanted me to connect the phone with iTunes and it says the phones in recovery mode and it must be restored before its used with iTunes. I go to click restore and it says it will reset it to factory default and I'll lose all my current data. I have all my sons pictures and videos along with this notes. I can't lose all of this data! Please help!

    You have to restore the iPod, no ifs, ands, or buts...
    After iOS is installed you will be asked if you what to set it up as a new iPod or if you want to restore from a backup.
    If you have a good backup you can restore that and you're good to go.
    If you don't have a good backup, then you end up with a "clean" iPod....

    And now, I'm stuck at the screen with the iTunes logo and the plug.  But no matter how many times I try, recovery mode will not work.  My phone is currently useless unless I can figure this out.

    No problem, glad to help!
    Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine.

  • Downloaded ios7, now I'm stuck in recovery mode

    I just downloaded ios7 via wifi (because I don't have my computer any more, which will be important later), and when I tried to install it, my phone got stuck in recovery mode. It tells me to plug it into iTunes, but to sync it with iTunes I'd have to restore it, which unfortunately would mean I lose everything on my phone because my computer is gone and I am currently using my wife's. Do I have any other options to try to fix this?

    what to do? pls help
    (iphone 4  and  iphone 4s)

    So I just did this on my iPhone 4 and it worked like a charm it unlocked it immediately. My phone was put into recovery mode and I know that not all data is deleted it just puts the phone into a sort of hibernation in order for the files to stay uncorrupted. I went to http://www.recovery-ipad.com/iphone-stuck-in-recovery-mode.html  downloaded the software it unlocked my phone in a matter of minutes. Calls, messages, photos, apps, and voicemail was all there as if it never happened  If you leave it unregistered you don't have to pay for it works for either windows or mac. Hope this helps!
