My iPad 3 is stuck in recovery mode. PLEASE HELP!?

When I try to restore the iPad in iTunes, I get an error saying "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build." Is there anyway I can get around this!?

Its absolutely imperative you make new backups of your data before updating any software for the above reasons, alone.
You will nomt looseany of your purchased content fomr the itunes/app stores though. You can redownload them directly on the device after restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If a recent backup contains the data you want, just restore from said backup.
Ultimatley, things can go bad, its all human created afterall. Next time, take the time to cover yourself.

My ipad mini is stuck in recovery mode. Help please!

Hello. My ipad mini is stuck in recovery mode. It is not jail broken. I tried fixing it by pressing the home bottom and then connecting it to the cable (which was connected to the computer), just like the apple support says. But it does not work. Help!

Follow step 1 to step 3 very closely.

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.

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!

The only way to get out of recovery mode is do to the full restore If you can't update or restore your iOS device
After it is done, you can use your iTunes or icloud backup to restore from.

yes i am sure. This are the exact words... "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. The disk you are attempting to use is full. (Removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space". i tried some options, hard reset, redsnow, tinyumbrella but still it's stuck.

There is a way to get it recovered from the so called DFU mode. Try to restart the phone while holding the home and power button at the same time. Then try to connect it to iTunes and do the same again. If you try that again till it works you should be able to use your iPhone as before.

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.
