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:

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.

IPad Mini keeps restarting during recovery mode!?

I bought an iPad Mini a couple of months ago,as a joke my aunt put a password for my iPad, i kept trying to open it, until i hit the disabled screen connect to itunes, i searched the web and found a waay out of it, so when i start recovery mode on my laptop, it does the iPad Software Update first. The iPad restartes during the restore and i have to do the restore one more time but it just happens again, PLZ HELP!!

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 If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue.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.

DFU and recovery mode, clean install ios 8 ?

Whats the difference between DFU mode and recovery mode ?
I want to do a clean install of the new ios 8.1.3 which the mode is the best ? I want to make it as a new one (someone else used it before)

If you already have 8.1.3 on your device, there is no way (and no need) to reinstall it. However, if you want the device cleared of all former user's info, then go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings. Then you can set your device up as new.
If you are having issues with the previous owner's iCloud account still being signed on and asking for a password, there is no way around that save having the previous owner remove the Activation Lock.

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.....;-)

Does your Wifi drop when your iPad mini went into sleep mode after upgrading to iOS 7?

Dear iPad mini users, to those who have upgraded to iOS 7 like I did, do you experienced WiFi drop when your iPad is in sleeping mode? I noticed this problem only few days after upgrading my iOS. Initially I don't think there is such issue. After your iPad mini recover fom sleep mode, then it will automatically connect to WiFi again. My point is it no longer connected to WiFi in sleeping mode and so could not keep me up-to-date with my mail if I am on WiFi.
Do share your view and if there is a solution, do share with me please. I have tried almost all solutions available online but no no avail. At the moment, I am activating my 3G network so that when mail came in, my iPad will notify me even during its sleeping mode but this is getting expensive considering I am using the 3G 24 hours every day now.

I found an solution. Go to Settings/Mail, Contact, Calendar/Fetch new data and than enable Push and choose to fetch hourly or every 30 minutes. In this case your iPad will stay connected to wifi even when smart cover is closed. If you select Manualy than wifi connection will be terminated when in sleep mode.

Iphone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore, only option available now is to "restore and update" however this will not work, how can you restore from a backup once in recovery mode and only option is "restore and upgrade"? Please help!

iPhone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore it. Now the only option iTunes allows is for "restore & upgrade", it is not offer an option to restore from a backup, says that must first do the upgrade, when attempting to do the upgrade the iPhone won't accept it.
How can I restore from a back up in recovery mode when the only option is "restore and upgrade"?
Please help.

You don't you must restore your phone first and then you will have the option to restore from your backup.

My iphone won't switch on. I've tried holding the power and home button more than 30 seconds up to a few minutes but it didn't switch on and went straight to recovery mode. It died of a low battery and i already fully charged it i checked with my itunes.

i really need help here. I have only used my iphone for a month. my iphone won't switch on. it died of a low battery and i've already fully charged it and usually before it even fully charged, it will turn back on right but in my case nothing happened. i've tried holding the power and home button for 30 seconds and up to 2-3 minutes but no logo appear. it went straight to recovery mode. there's nothing wrong with my cable, i checked with itunes and this happened once a week ago but it did switch back on after i tried a few times but now it just won't switch on. i also have problems with my screen as there's some noises to the screen (i hope you get me) and when i turned the camera on, it was as if the whole screen is shaking. i'm currently studying in the middle east and there's no apple store here so i cannot use my warranty. i will only be back home in summer. please help me what should i do to at least switch my iphone on first.

I did a little bit of experimenting. I have an iPad original versions myself. I took it out of the box knowing that I haven used it in months and I expected the battery to be dead and sure enough the battery was as dead as I imagined it would be. For the first 30 minutes I experienced exactly what you are experiencing, but then the iPad suddenly powered up on its own (like it does when plugged into the charger) and I am using it now to type this response to you.
My point is that I am starting tothink that your battery has suddenly died on you for some reason or you have a hardware problem now. I would still try leaving the iPad charge for a while longer - maybe even overnight - and then try again in the morning. Unplug the iPad and try resetting with the home and sleep buttons. Try plugging the iPad in again. Unplug it, try restarting again. Let it charge for a while again.
After trying something like that, if it still will not start up, then I think it's time for a trip to an Apple Store and see what the Apple Techs think.

In updating to most recent ios, iPad says its gone into recovery mode - any ideas?

When updating to the most recent iOS, my iPad says its gone into recovery mode and the only option i have is to restore to factory settings - any ideas?

The message means what it says. Unfortunately something went wrong and you will have to restore your iPad now. If you have a backup, you can restore from the backup after you restore the iPad to factory settings. If you have no backup, you have to start all over again.
You can download much of your purchased content again in the purchased tabs of iTunes or the app stores or if you sync with iTunes ( if you sync with iTunes you should have some sort of backup) you can sync your content back to the iPad.

What model iPad do you have? If it's an iPad 1, the battery may have expired and needs replacement.

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.
