My iphone has gone into sudden recovery mode, if i restore as itunes suggests will i loose my photos? i 'think' my phone is backed up

Hi, HELP!
My iphone out the blue. suddenly went into recovery mode this evening. Tried all the tricks and didnt work so plugged into computer. It said something like i had to restore to factory settings. If i do this will i loose my photos?? Im pretty sure 98% is backed up on itunes on this computer when i update my iphone a few months ago.
Thanks.

just plug it in to your computer and do the factory restore, then when it is done you go thru the prompts and then it will ask if you want to restore as new phone or from backup.  Choose backup and restore from itunes.

  • I am getting error (-1) while updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1. The phone has gone into a recovery mode. Restore fails every time at "restoring the firmware" stage. Striped bar remains for a long time, then shows "error (-1)" and the restore fails. Help!

    Thanks for your reply Michalo. I am in India and here Apple care does not work on Sundays. I have been without my phone for the entire day. Perhaps tomorrow will bring some respite. There is not solution to "error (-1)" on any forum it seems. I found one forum which suggested use of Tiny Umbrella. Any idea about that?

    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

    Try a Reboot press & hold menu button & power button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you will not lose any data. But you may need to do this more than once. I never use PCs for software upgrades or downloads I always use wifi had no problems with iOS 8.1 B sydd

    You can only obtain warranty OR post warranty service in the country of original purchase
    As your iPhone has user damage it has no warranty
    IF the iPhone originated from Spain or another EU country you can get out of warranty service in any EU country

  • My phone has gone into a tutorial mode. How do I stop it?

    My phone has gone into some kind of tutorial mode. All of the icons become highlighted when I select them and then a voice tells me what they are. (ie "Ap Store"). I have to double tap everything for it to work. How do I turn this off??

    With Voice Over, you highlight whatever you are trying to select and then double tap anywhere on the screen to select.
    So for your password of 1234 you have to
    "Highlight 1, then double tap the screen, Highlight 2, the double tap the screen,... etc."
    In order to remove you have 2 options:
    Option# 1 – Turn off Voice Over
    Go to setting by, highlight "SETTING
    Double tap screen to go into settings
    Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and highlight "GENERAL"
    Double tap screen to go into general
    Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and then highlight “ACCESSIBILITY”
    Double tap screen to go into accessibility
    Once you are in make sure that EVERYTHING in that section are shown as “OFF”
    Option #2 - Reset your Phone
    Go to setting by, highlight "SETTING
    Double tap screen to go into settings
    Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and highlight "GENERAL"
    Double tap screen to go into general
    Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and then highlight “RESET”
    Double tap screen to go into reset
    Select “Reset all setting” and continue to follow the instruction
    (When you reset, all of your data and music WILL NOT erase. So don’t worry about that)
    Hope this helps.

  • My 5s has gone into screen lock mode and only talks to me?

    My iphone 5s has gone into screen lock and won't let me acess anything. I voice tells me what the text says on the screen but won't let me past the home screen. I turned it off with the power button and the home button but it was the same when I turned it back on? Help.

    I suspect you have Voice Over on:
    Press Home.
    Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
    Tap General. Then double-tap General.
    Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
    Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
    Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
    Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.
    You have to tap, then double-tap to select the numbers to enter your passcode.

  • HT4623 iphone has gone into recovery mode after an update

    Help...I did an update without backing up and my phone has now gone into recovery mode. Is there any way to revive it without losing data???
    Please help

    If your phone is in recovery mode, you've already lost all data on the phone. You have no choice but to connect it to iTunes and restore it, either from your most recent backup or as a new device.

  • HT201210 Everything is up to date & yet my phone has gone from not being able to update to now being in recovery mode & unable to restore from iTunes

    Okay so I'm based in Australia & own a iPhone 5s
    So sometime this faternoon my pohone was perfectly fine. Had my usual signal per suaul when all of a sudden for 8hours my phone started searching for a signal. I asked friends and they had no problem with there phone. So I went to my phone provider for helo (Telstra) & basically all they told me was to do what I told them I was doing. I tried updating my phone to see if that was the cause of the probelm but what happened? iTunes said that it was unable to update & you guessed it & put it in bloody recovery mode! I go to restore it & yes you guessed it again iTunes had an error with that. Was the link it sent me to help? Nope, I had done all of it., My phone is un-accessilbe & iTunes is doing nothing at all

    There is nothing to backup.
    If the device is showing the Connect to iTunes screen, there is nothing on the device to backup.
    The first step in the update process is a backup... restore the device using that backup and try again.

  • IPhone 4 update - stuck in recovery mode following unsuccessful restore.

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone can help me with my 'problem'?!
    I have recently tried to download the latest available software update for my iPhone 4 and unfortunately my laptop power cable was disconnected before the update had completed. As a result I was unable to switch on my iPhone, so I immediately restarted my laptop and connected my iPhone in order to recommence the update. However, when I connected the device to my laptop I found that my iPhone was no longer recognized by my iTunes and a pop up box stating that: 'iTunes had detected an iPhone in recovery mode' and that the phone 'had to be restored' had appeared.
    As I was unable to turn on my iPhone and, by this time, the iPhone was stuck constantly advising me to connect to iTunes, I decided to restore the phone as advised. I clicked the OK button and then the restore button at which point the error message stating the phone could not be updated due to 'unknown error 1604'. After several attempts I managed to get the phone to start and complete the restore process. Upon completion the phone is still not recognized and still stuck constantly telling me to connect to iTunes. I am able to start and complete the restore process again without error 1604 but at the end of the restore the problem persists.
    Has anybody had the same or similar issue??
    Any assistance will be appreciated.
    Cheers

    Apple recommends to Restore, get Error 1604 leave iPhone connected, Quit iTunes, Restart iTunes, Restore again, fixed. Error 1604 try a different USB port or different computer. Some say Error 1604 is due to bad IPSW file, delete IPSW from computer, and install new file with iTunes or manually.
