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.

  • Stuck in recovery mode - help please

    I am unable to upgrade to 4.3 software and my phone is stuck in recovery mode.  I've gone through all the support basics and I have the latest i tunes and op system etc.  I cannot get past the basic levels although 4.1 and 4.2 were OK. Any ideas please?

  • My iPhone 4 is stuck in recovery mode, help please!

    Hi everyone. I've tried every posisble solution from finding answers on here but nothing is working for me.
    Now here's my story:
    My iPhone4 is jailbroken and has been for a few months now with no problems. Yesterday I went to make a phone call and after the phone call I wasn't able to exit the screen with the 'Home' button, so I turned off my phone. I then turned it back on, entered my passcode, and then tried going into Instagram and it also wouldn't let me exit using the 'Home' button. So I decided to hook my iPhone up to my computer after finding someone having the same problem, and they said they just had to upgrade to the latest firmware. So I tried this today... hooked up my phone and iTunes popped up. I clicked to 'Restore' and once it downloaded everything it said it could not be restored because of 1013 error. My phone neded up going into recovery mode where the iTunes logo is on my iPhone screen. I tried exiting recovery mode by downloading the latest version of tinyumbrella but it wouldn't recognize my iPhone. My iPhone shows up with the serial number on tinyumbrella instead of "Kati's iPhone" and iTunes also won't recognize it. When I clicked "Exit Recovery" I then exited out of tinyumbrella and the apple icon showed up on my iPhone. I then tried opening iTunes and it went back to the iTunes screen on my phone. I tried clicking "restore" but it said my phone is in recovery mode and I need ot exit recovery mode. What do I do to exit recovery mode and get my phone working again? I'm on a PC, not a Mac. I"m freaking out that I may have totally broken my iPhone and will have to buy a new one Also, I'mpretty sure I'm running in 4.3.2, but I'm not sure.

  • My iPad mini is stuck in recovery mode; it won't turn off?

    All I have is the apple logo and a progress bar that doesn't move. iTunes doesn't recognise it when plugged in, either. I was trying to erase all contents and settings to set it up as a new iPad. I've tried a hard reset, and it comes back up with the same screen. Will letting the power drain be of any use?
    Any help appreciated.

    I was rather hoping someone might have some advice on here other than a trip to the Apple Store.....;-)

  • 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.

    Are you using a valid Apple charger that came with the iPad?
    Attempting to use a computer USB port, an incompatible charger, or attempting to charge via a wall socket that only receives power from a wall switch — can all lead to a low, or depleted battery condition. Has this iPad been wet, or dropped?
    Verify all of the above, and correct. If the iPad still cannot hold a charge, consider taking to an Apple Store, or authorized service provider to evaluate it.

  • My ipad mini went in to recovery mode, when installing ios 8 HELP!!

    I was trying to install ios 8 when my ipad mini went in to recovery mode. please help!!

    Hey Foxamy31,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like your iPhone is in recovery mode, meaning you’ll need to restore it with iTunes. If you previously synced/backed up with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup:

  • I have an iPad that is stuck in recovery mode.  When I try to restore the firmware, I get an unknown error occured (1611).

    I have an iPad that is stuck in recovery mode.  When I try to restore the firmware, I get an unknown error occured (1611).  Does anybody have a solution for this?

    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.

  • New iPad Air 2 stuck in recovery mode, won't restore

    My mother recently bought a new iPad Air 2 and found that the Touch I.D wasn't working, so she called support and they told her to restore the iPad, which she tried. When she tried to restore the iPad it says an unknown error has occurred and the iPad can't be restored. Now the iPad is stuck in recovery mode and only showing the connect to iTunes screen. I've tried restoring from different computers and restoring from a downloaded IPSW. At the moment the iPad is a very shiny paperweight that can't even turn on
    Please help!

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
