  • IPod Nano (6G) Stuck In Recovery Mode Loop

    Hi guys,
    I recently found that my iPod Nano (6G) wouldn't turn on. That was until I plugged into my Macbook Pro and it told me I had to perform a recovery.
    So, after performing this recovery and erasing all the data, it just told me the same over and over, never displaying anything except "Do No Disconnect" or "OK To Disconnect" on the screen, even after I've ejected it.
    This happens every time I plug it in and nothing will appear on the screen unless I do so. I've read on other pages that it can be a drive letter mix-up, but that only appears to be a solutions for PCs.
    Any help is hugely appreciated!

    I have this same issue with a 2nd gen iPod. Being instructed to remap the drive letter when windows says the drive is unreadable is not an option. Not possible. The drive does not show in the top half of the device manager, so therefore cannot be right-clicked. Anyone have another suggestion? (the ipod exists in iTunes in a "restore loop" - I discovered it being unreadable when I tried to reformat it).

  • HT201210 Stuck in recovery mode loop on ipad1 with blank screen!!!! After updating to 5.1.1 and error code 37.

    Help! i dont know what to do. I need this iPad for college and it's stuck in recovery mode but the screen is blank. I tried downloading to newest itunes, press and hold both home button and power button. NO Joy! i shouldn't have ever updated! It worked just fine.

    Force iPad into Recovery Mode
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times.

  • Iphone 4 stuck in recovery mode loop (non-jailbroken)

    This is frustrating me to no end!! I tried to update my iphone 4 to IOS6 via itunes, didn't work because my mac needed at least itunes 6.3.1 but it said everything was up to date. So i tried using a newer mac with an updated itunes, failed after about an hour, & got stuck in the recovery mode loop. Everytime i try to connect to itunes & restore my phone to update, a message pops up saying "could not be restored. this device isn't eligible for the requested build". I've been watching youtube videos for about this for an hour now, nothing. I'm about to go insane, so if anyone has any idea of how i can get out of the loop, that'd be great!!

    Apple doesn't fix phones they replace them.
    The iPhone warranty is NOT international.  You need to return the phone to the country in which it originated (the EU is considered ONE country for warranty purposes)

  • Iphone 3G stuck in recovery mode loop

    okay...i'm sure there a lot of topics on this, but i can't find anything is fixing the issue. i traded my 32gb ipod for a 16gb iphone 3G. i traded it mainly because i wanted to unlock it to t-mobile. i wanted to updated it to ios4 so i wouldn't have to keep unlocking it after each iphone/ipod update. so i updated it, and it went into recovery mode. i tried putting it into dfu mode, and it's stuck in recovery mode. i've tried restoring it and it just loops back into recovery mode. i've tried the whole "hold down the both buttons and release the sleep button but hold the home button until this happens" thing. i'm starting to get really frustrated. i tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling itunes and the same thing happens. NOW.... i'm getting an error that says that itunes cannot recognize this iphone because of an unknown error. do i need to downgrade os? how do i do that? i just need to be able to get it out of recovery mode so i can unlock it. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance!

    I had the same issue. After updating to the new OS4, my iphone failed on a restore. It was stuck in recovery mode. You have to hold down the home key for 7-10 secs, connect to PC(if that's what you are using) and plug into iTunes. Keep holding the button down until iTunes recognizes the phone. You will be given an option to restore to old or update and restore as a new phone. I did the update and restore as my old backup file was corrupted somehow. Unfortunately, I lost everything since my last sync. Still trying to figure out how to extract contact and pic data from an old backup i had saved on a thumbdrive. Good luck!

  • 1 week old iPhone4 stuck in Recovery mode loop

    Hi there
    today when I connected my ip4, iTunes asked me to download and install the latest iOS 4.0.2, after that it went into a recovery mode loop and I cant do muh more. I have so far tried to restore using 3 other pc´s, xp and Win7. Tried different USB cable, disable firewall/antivirus, but nothing helps. I am constantly getting an error 9, but I have seen error 2009 and 3194 as well (tried about 10 times so far).
    Dont know what else to try
    Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    I had same problem. When upgraded to 4.0.1 I had to take it to apple store to be reset. Tried everything. When it happened with 4.0.2 they gave me a new phone. Sadly I had to reload 30g of music/movie/app twice. Glad I have a better option if it happens next time.

  • 5th Generation ipod touch stuck in recovery mode...

    Hi there,
    recently purchased the new 5th gen ipod touch . Its for some reason now in what i now know is recovery mode..It's frustrating the **** out of me because i can't seem to find any way of of fixing it...!
    It's running IOS 6 and I'm hoping that it's going to be an easy fix....
    Can someone please help me to rid this annoying problem with my ipod...?
    Any help ,or suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
    Cheers, Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to all!

    I'm having a similar problem trying to set-up my daughter's new iPod. Message says "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode.  You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes" Two of her friends also got this iPod for Christmas and are having the same problem...during initial set-up. I've tried the system updates 3 times. iTunes recognizes the device, but the computer is not recognizing it as a drive. I've tried both my Mac and my Windows PC.  I've tried hard resets.  You can't remap the drive because the device doesn't show up. Most of the apple support topics address if iTunes doesn't recognize the device in conjunction with the drive.  Obviously a problem with the new update because several brand new iPod touches wouldn't be having the same problem. Please pass along any solutions and i'll do the same.  Happy New Years!

  • Ipod Stuck in recovery mode loop and must be restored every 2 days

    Hi everyone,
    I have a Fifth Generation Ipod Video 30 Gig that I purchased from an Apple store sometime in july and it has given me nothing but problems. 3 weeks into using it, the ipod tells me that it is in recovery mode and must be restored. I restore it and it continues to give the same message until I finally disconnect it and wait a good 20 minutes before it finally allows me to activate it. A week later, the Ipod needs to be restored again and the same incident occurs. I have changed the drive letter 13 times (currently on letter Z), used every version of itunes (old and new), changed the type of files I upload, etc. but nothing works. The worst part is that after restoring it, the Ipod works for a few days before it relapses again. Worst of all, I use it for less than an hour a day.
    I even went to the Apple store after i restored it and the "genius technician" synced my ipod and said there was nothing wrong with the Ipod. I have seen many people in the forums cite hard drive failure as the cause of this problem but I cannot convince the "genius technicians" at the Apple store that this is the problem.
    Please help me resolve this frustrated, unwarranted, and expensive problem!!! Your help is most appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Ice

    I have tried connecting the ipod via the front and back USb 2.0 jacks on my desktop. I have only one external drive connected to the computer. Doesn't matter whether I remove it or not, the same problem occurs. I do not have a network. My drive letter for the ipod is letter z so it is not disk recognition which is a problem. 1/3 of my music comes from I-tunes, the rest I rip from my Cd's (like Linkin Park, Slipknot, Dir en grey). I only used about 650 MB worth of the ipods 30 gig drive capacity. Doesn't matter which version of the itunes software I use, it gives me the same problem. The recovery loop occured after just after 2 weeks of purchasing it from the apple storeand I took it back with only 12 songs in it. The restored it and 10 days later, the same problem occured. Recently, the ipod has been entering the recovery mode much more frequently prompting me to believe the hard drive is malfunctioning.
    I have scanned my computer and the Ipod with everything from Norton, AVG, McCafee, and trendmicro and found no viruses, bugs, worms, etc.
    Any suggestions to help me resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ice
