My iPad is stuck in recovery mode, and wont stay turned off in order to use redsnow.

Alright so my iPad is stuck in recovery mode. I did some research and arrived at redsnow to fix the problem. In order to use redsnow's recovery fix option I have to power down my iPad. When I hold the sleep button though, no "slide to power off" appears, the screen just goes black then reboots into recovery mode 3 or 4 seconds later. Restarting it via holding the sleep and home buttons doesn't do anything. How do I get it to stay powered down? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I believe I may have used the wrong terminology. My iPad screen looks identical to the picture shown in the link, which is what I reffered to as Recovery Mode. I was looking for a way to return to normal functionality, without having to restore my iPad. I have never backed up this iPad and would prefer not to lose any information on it. If this is impossible then I will just restore it and carry on.
My main issue with restoring it is that I don't want to lose the pictures on it. If the restore doesn't erase the pictures, then I apologize for wasting your time and will be restoring it immediatly. However if I will lose the pictures than I'd prefer any other method of exiting this screen.

If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.

This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

Next, if it stays one, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try again.

IPad 2 stuck in recovery mode and does not respond to usual cures.

I wonder if anyone can suggest what further I can do to get an iPad 2 16MB WiFI model out of recovery mode. The machine was previously working normally but after a charge would not turn on. It connected to iTunes on a Windows system when started using the home button press before USB plug method. iTunes reported the iPad in restore mode even though the diagnostic tools menu in iTunes said that the ipad was not connected. The Windows system device manager showed that the Apple USB driver was loaded but did not show the iPad as a device. However, running restore from iTunes seemed to work correctly with the progress bar showing on the iPad and the information bar on iTunes showing installation of software and firmware. iTunes then said that the iPad would restart - but it did not. It just stayed in restore mode. A new USB cable made no difference and the same thing happens when I repeat the attempted restore on another Windows system. I have done the attempted restore multiple times as has been suggested is needed. I also let the battery run flat before doing restore attempts. Both Windows system were cleaned of everything non essential and the iTunes is up to date. Doing the restore from DFU mode gives the same result. I have occasionally had the error code oxe8000084 reported by iTunes. Am I dealing with a hardware fault?

This is the error report from iTunes which despite saying that device connectivity fails - seems to be able to see what is on the iPad.:
