My ipod has gone into recovery mode, and i need to restore my pod but it wont restore

my ipod has gone into recovery mode and i want to restore it, but itunes keeps on saying there is an error. i have looked at what it says to do, done everything but it still says there is an error. also i cant get onto my ipod as i forgot the password, hence why i want to restore it. can anyone please help?!

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

    My Micro suddenly just went into Recovery mode and i have tried all the options and have had no sucess with any of them has anyone else had this problem if so did you get out of it !! i need help cause the bus ride home is no fun with out it

    Ohareehoh,
    If the Zen Micro is clicking at the point you are describing, then it sounds like the Hard Dri've has been damaged and you are physically hearing the clicking of the dri've. I would suggest contacting support for repair options.

  • My ipod has gone into recovery mode for no reason at all

    So I was in Sri Lanka for the past 2 months volunteering, and I took my ipod with me. My camera was unfortunately out of action from day one, so I used my (very crappy) ipod camera to take photos for the entire time that I was in Sri Lanka.
    I had been there almost two months, I was in the last week of my stay when my ipod all of a sudden turns itself off when I was using it. It wouldn't come back on, and it was fully charged. I even tried plugging it in but it did nothing. It wouldn't come back on for two days, and then I tried it and it just says 'connect to itunes'. So I got home yesterrday and plugged it into itunes, and it says that my ipod is in recovery mode and has to be restored. However, if I restore it, I will lose ALL of my photos from Sri Lanka!!
    I have tried googling this problem for a while and can't seem to find a solution. My home button does not work which is another pain.
    But can someone please help me and tell me a way to save my photos?! I don't care about anything else, I cannot lose those photos They obviously aren't backed up either because I didn't have my computer at any point in Sri Lanka so it hasn't been connected to an itunes at any point in those photos being taken.
    Thanks.

    You iPod encounter and error. That happens sometimes.
    Unless one of these programs will kick the iPod out of recovery mode all information on the iPod is lost

  • TS3694 I have attempted to update my iphone to ios8. My phone has gone into recovery mode. I have tried all of your recommendation and it will not come out of recovery mode. HELP!

    I have attempted to update my iPhone to ios8. My phone has gone into recovery mode. I have tried all of your recommendation and it will not come out of recovery mode. HELP!

    Without knowing what you did and exactly what happened (error messages) all I can suggest is:
    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. If the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode, then Restore the Firmware. If not recognized, then hold both Home and Power Buttons until the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.

    Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

  • Is there any way to retrieve photos from a 5c that has gone into recovery mode?

    is there any way to retrieve photos from a 5c that has gone into recovery mode?

    No, by the time its in recovery mode it's too late. The contents of the phone are gone. Did enable any of the ways that Apple provides to back up photos?
    Backup the phone to your computer
    Automatic daily iPhone backup to iCloud
    enable Photo Stream
    Copy photos to your computer using a USB cable and a compatible photo management utility on your computer
    Enable Photo Sharing
    Enable Photo Library backup
    OR any of the 3rd party photo management solutions, such as Google Picasa, Google+, Facebook, Shutterfly?
    OR any of the cloud sharing services such as box.com or dropbox?
    If you have set up any one of these your photos can be retrieved from it.
