Brand new iphone 5 in recovery mode straight out of the box, is this normal?!

Hi all,
I got my new iphone 5 upgrade today, inserted sim card and plugged it in to my laptop to copy everything over from my 4 but when it's plugged in to either the laptop or the charger, the black screen with the silver apple just keeps flashing every few seconds and it won't power on.
I've tried doing a reset (keeping home and lock buttons pressed) and it came up with the connect to itunes screen but this was while it was plugged in to the main charger so as soon as I unplugged it to plug it into itues the screen went blank and it's back to square one!!
**update** the boyfriend managed to get it to the connect to itunes screen and itunes reported that it had detected an iphone in recovery mode and it needed restoring.
So, it this normal to expect a brand new iphone to be in recovery mode?!
Advice would be appreciated, many thanks

Well first just to let you know the "connect to iTunes" screen or also knows as "the usb cable pointing to iTunes" means to connect it to iTunes to initially set the ipod up. Now if you already have done this or dont get the option to try forcing into recovery mode and then restoring the ipod followed in this article. Also make sure your computer and iTunes is up to date with the latest software.
If not i would try connecting it to anther computer with iTunes 9.0.2 installed and then call Apple if that doesnt work since you purchased it from the Apple online store.

My Iphone is in recovery mode, but does not respond to Itunes

Got error when updating to iOS 6, and then the phone went to recovery mode (picture of the USB cable and an arrow to the Itunes mark).
i have tried to do as the help suggested, by restarting the phone, holding in the home button and connecting it again to the USB cable.
Have also tried 3 different USB slots and Reinstalled Itunes.

Hi Matt2602,
I hope you are able to get your iPhone restored soon.

IPhone frozen in recovery mode and won't restore through iTunes.

I tried to download the software update ios7.0.4 through itunes, and now my phone is frozen on the blue itunes icon with the image of the plug. I've recovered it several times through itunes, which completes the restoration then tells me the iphone should restart. But when it restarts it goes back to the same blue itunes icon.I have also made sure my itunes is updated, my security is not problematic, restarted my computer several times, and restored through a different computer. All the information I can find tells me to recover through itunes. This is not working. Please help?

HT4972 My iPhone 4S froze and was locked at the connect-to-iTune graphic page after I attempted to upgrade the software to 5.1.1. I don't know what to do with it now!

My iPhone 4S froze and was locked at the connect-to-iTune graphic screen when I attempted to upgrade the software to 5.1.1. It is now dead!

5.0.2 has not been released, thus you can not upgrade.

In the article Resolve iOS update and restore errors this is what it says about error 14:
Check your USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014, or “invalid response."
If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
Try a different computer.
If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.

AT this point whatever data you have on yoru phone is already gone since it is in recovery mode.
However you can restore from your backup, when your phone reboots from recovery.
YOu do have a backup right?

It says that my iphone is in recovery mode and needs to restore. (it is an ipod touch)

It says that my iphone is in recovery mode and i need to restore it, but it isan ipod touch. I cannot restore it because itunes is telling me that the software for the iphone is not currently available. Do I download the software for an iphone?

this happened to me a while ago and im not sure wht to do

HT201210 I updated my 4s over 3g to ios 7.1 it took forever and said connect to itunes. It said it was in recovery mode & needed to be restored but would wipe all content. I have never made a backup and can't loose pics of my kids birth and birthdays...

So tonight I updated my 4s over 3g to ios 7.1 it took forever and said connect to itunes. It said it was in recovery mode & needed to be restored but would wipe all content. I have never made a backup because my computers hard drive crashed (luckily the pics were on the phone) and now after updating like apple said I should it wants me to wipe my phone... I can't loose pics of my kids births and birthdays... I tried the holding buttons and letting off to exit recovery mode with no success... I don't know what to do but I swear if apple makes me loose the priceless pics of my kids I will never buy any apple device ever again... and I will make sure no family or friend ever does either... there has to be a way somehow.. some data recovery some program... I dunno if tinyumbrella can exit it for me without hacking or jailbreaking (which I don't dare/want to do) but i need a solution. I have researched this for hours and hours with no solution so far. If I have to pay $$ for it fine I will but after I recover my data that way I will be going to samsung... anyone with a solution would be greatly appreciated... any solution...

that makes no sense... it was only doing an update... if that's the case it should have promted me to back up first if this is even possible... there is a program that says it can recovery anything that hasn't been written over yet.. so would this not work? http://www.iphone-data-recovery.com/iphone-data-recovery.html or would the apple store be able to recover it??? i've done plenty of data recovery on computers... why wouldn't it be possible on an Iphone... does apple seriously not care about thier customers at all??? how about thier employees that are gonna get more than an earful tomorrow when I walk in there store??? No wonder samsung paid 2 million to apple in pennies when they got sued... (how does it feel to be screwed with apple?!)

HT201210 My iphone is in recovery mode and it won't open help

I tried to install the new version of iOS via itunes and at the end of the installing it stopped and showed an error massage says "iphone couldnt be stored error (14)" and now my iphone is in recovery mode I tried to open it with DFU mode but it didnt work out HELP

What "new version" of iOS did you attempt to install, exactly?
Here is troubleshooting information specifically for the error 14 you mentioned: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#error14
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
