My iPad won't get get out of Recovery Mode
My iPad is in recovery mode, and it won't get out of it even its connected to itunes and I've clicked restore. Help to get out of it please. Thanks. (And I am upgrading it to ios 6 on itunes)
Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

If you can not get past the sign in screen on your iPad, you will need to use the steps in this article to recover use of your iPad -

I tried to update my ipod touch software by syncing with itunes and it put the ipod into "recovery mode". Seems like the only option is to restore? Is there a way to get it out of recovery mode?
No.
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

i was in the process of jailbreaking and updating my ipod and when i was updating it,it went into recovery mode and now i cant get it out of recovery mode so what can i do??
Go elsewhere:
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.
Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues -
when i connect my nano to itunes it says i am in recovery mode. it told me to restore so i did and it still is in recovery mode and i lost everything on my ipod. what do i do to get it out of recovery mode?
Reset, can sometimes exit Recovery Mode if nothing is wrong with your iPhone. If there is problem only exit is to connect to iTunes and click the Update or Restore button that iTunes offers you.

Losing hope on being able to get ipod out of recovery mode.
I have tried evrything I have found to do. Disable firewall and antivirus, watched multiple tutorial videos on how to get it out of recovery mode, tried(and failed) DFU mode. Just nohing seems to work. I coninue to get errors when I try to contact update servers, and when I don't get the errors at first and it begins to update and restore, it'll get partially through, then give me an error. I just want my iPod back. It's been 3 long boring days of trying to do the same thing. Please help, anyone.

How do I get phone out of recovery mode?
Tried to update to IOS 8 today and phone froze during the update, from reading lots and lots of articles on the internet I have discovered that it is in recovery mode (with a blue itunes logo). My question is how do I get it out of recovery mode? Itunes does not seem to recognise it when I connect it to my laptop and I have tried the hard reset and also holding the home button while reconnecting.....all help gratefully accepted!!
Make sure that iTunes is up to date, as well as windows (if you are using windows) You will have to restore the device using iTunes If iTunes is not recognizing the device in recovery mode, you may need to call Apple Care. Explain that the device went into recovery mode when updating to iOS 8, and they should help you for no charge.

How to get iPhone out of recovery mode?
OK, i need to get my phone out of recovery mode. The thing is, i do NOT want to restore my iPhone to factory settings, i have so much stuff on there like notes and calendar dates and text messages and contacts that i have put in since my last update. Is my only option to go ahead with the restore or is there another way to get my phone out of recovery mode? Is there a way to save my data?
I had exactly same problem and when I called apple i-phone support, she told me to select restore the phone but all the data should be in the i-phone backup and will not be deleted.
I followed her directions and I could restore my phone without deleting any of my stored musics, photos, and other info.
The tricky thing is after you click the restore, it showed the error message and you need to unplug your i-phone from the computer and restart your computer again. Then open the i-tune without connecting your i-phone. Once you open i-tune, connect your i-phone then restore again.
After restore the i-phone, it ask you to backup or set as new phone. Choose backup from your i-phone. Then all your data should be restored.
Whole process takes about half hour but all your data should be recovered from the i-phone backup folder. -
