My iphone is in recovery mode and i cannot restore it with itunes on my macbook or my pc. how can i restore my iphone 4s? or at least, how can i get it out of recovery mode?

i tried to restore my iphone 4s because it kept saying "searching..." for service so i decided to restore it, after having already reset all network settings, and after trying to restore all settings. still, it only said "searching..." for service. finally, i tried to restore my iphone.  when using my macbook, 3/4 through i recieved a message to update my itunes software.  i had to close itunes for the update. when i closed itunes, the iphone restore was in pprogress and having to close the program put my phone into this "recovery mode" with the icon of the usb and the itunes disc logo. i also tried updating and restoring the software with my pc which also didnt work. help?

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything... and you must continue with the Recovery...

Make sure you have the Current Version of iTunes Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download

    I have an iPhone 4s that is my primary phone that I sync with iTunes on my computer. I would like to use my old iPhone 3s like an iPod. Can I also sync this phone to the same computer and iTunes? My ultimate goal would be to have identical iTunes on both phones. Is this possible?

  • IPhone 5s stuck in Recovery mode and it cannot be recognized by iTunes

    Hello Apple Community!
    I have iPhone 5s 7.1.2 (16gb), I tried to restore the iphone by holding the shutdown button with the home button, now it shows that I have to connect to iTunes, when I try to plug the usb into my device, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone so I can restore it, any solutions please?
    Tried everything, even using another device and another USB wires but nothing seems to work.
    any feedback will be appreciated!
    Note: My phone light up whenever I plug the USB to my laptop.
    Thanks in advance.

    Fui estafado por Apple. Vivo en Argentina. A fines del mes de junio compre en Miami un iphone 5S. Hace unos dias al bajar al actualizacion IOS 8 , el telefono comenzo a funcionar muy mal. Al intentar bajar la actualizacion 8.0.2 para restaurar el telefono por eI I tunes, el telefono dejo de funcionar definitivamente. Aqui comenzo la cuestion. Comunicaciones interminables con soporte tecnico en Mexico y USA. El telefono no funciono mas. Genere multiples reclamos y todavia sigo esperando una respuesta. La atencion es muy mala. Nadie se hace responsable. Es de un telefonoa otro , musica, a otro, mas musica y nunca una respuesta util e inteligente.
    Llame hoy otra vez y me daran un TURNO para atnederme para el reemplazo del equipo.
    Es una verguenza la atencion al cliente y el servicio tecnico de un producto defectuoso como el IOS 8 el que curiosamente en menos de una semana ya sufrio dos actualizaciones o parches por lo monumentales errores que tenia.
    Aviso esto para las personas para que esten atentas y reclamen sus derechos como consumidores frente a esta empresa que no tiene la minima calidad de atencion para con sus clientes/usuarios.

  • I just got my new iphone 4 in the mail and used my friends computer with itunes already on it to set it up since i dont own a computer. She owns an iphone already so her stuff was there already. i created an account and unlocked the phone but now it says

    it now says no service at the top. help/

    If the iPhone is locked to a telephone operator, your Sim Card has to be from that telephone operator.  Otherwise, the iPhone will not be able to read the Sim Card and obtain telephone service.

    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.

  • After updating my Iphone 4s to os 7.1.1 ota, my phone went into recovery mode. Yet when I try to restore it with Itunes on my windows 7 laptop it says the network connection has been reset! My phone has the itunes logo and charger symbol on it .

    After updating my Iphone 4s to os 7.1.1 from 7.1 over the air, my phone went into recovery mode. Yet when I try to restore it with Itunes on my windows 7 laptop it says the network connection has been reset. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network is active, or try again later. My phone has the itunes logo and charger symbol on it, as well as an arrow pointing at the Itunes logo. After holding the sleep button down or even doing the hard reset the same screen comes up on my phone regardless of whether it is plugged in or not to my computer. I have turned my computer off and on again. It is plugged in and charging as it's battery life is very short. I also reset my modem and the same error message pops up. The only option on my computer when my phone is plugged in is to restore it. My firewall also allows Itunes through it. I have literally tried everything I know being someone who knows very little about technology. I also do not want to hear about how the update worked for other people. My phone has been in recovery mode for 5 hours at least now so it will just make me more frustrated if a bunch of people post about how the update worked for them.

  • After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server.

    After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server.  I have already tried the resetting with power swich and home button and plugging into computer but it says the "iPhone software update server cannot be contacted."  I am locked out of my phone.  Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue and get the phone working again.  I will add that I am now trying to restore it on a different computer with a lower version of itunes, but the computer that it initially happened on had the updated itunes and gave me the same result ... nothing.  Thanks for your help in advance.

    Try going to recovery mode as described here.  You may have to try this more than once to succeed.
    Use the original iTunes that the iPhone synced with.
