My ipod touch went into Recovery Mode, How do i fix it without recovering(deleting)?

Earlier this week, i was on my laptop when i decided to look at my ipod touch with was next to me, about 10 mintues later. I tried turning on, and the ipod was stuck on the connect to itunes screen, and i was wondering why it was doing that. I plugged it into my computer and it said " Itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used with itunes". Restoring was going to delete everything! I already lost my infomation last year to a similar problem. I tried holding the power and menu button for 10-15 sec and then just hold menu 2 secs, it didnt work. I know most people are going to say use a backup, but i havdn't been albe to back up for about 70 weeks. I know i can get back music, but i have a bunch of apps that have memory and pictures and songs, that i'll never get back,like last time. I don't want to lose important docunments again either! Please Help!! ps. I dont remeber my oss or what version it is(like itouch 3 or 4s)

If this program will not get the iPod out of recovery mode you will have to restore the iPod and thus lose everything.

Plug it into iTunes and restore it with your backup. You should have a backup in iTunes or iCloud.

My iPod touch is in recovery mode, how do I get it out of this?

My daughter's iPod touch is in recovery mode (we know this by the code it gives us when she plugs it in to the computer), how do we get it out of this? We have tried resetting by holding down the on/off button and the other button on the bottom front of the iPod for 30 seconds to a minute and nothing happens.

Two ways to get the iPod Touch out of recovery mode.
From iTunes click "Restore" this will download the latest iOS for your iPod Touch and install it.
Second way is to press and hold both the home button and the sleep button for around ten seconds and release them when the Apple logo shows on the screen.

You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

HT201263 iPod touch gone into recovery mode midway through updating to iOS 6.1 - Help!!!

I tried to update my iPod touch (latest generation) to the new iOS system. Midway through the 30 minute download of the new software, an alert popped up telling me that the ipod connected was in recovery mode and needed to be restored in order to contiue. So I clicked restore, and the download started again. Once again, the same thing happened midway through. The download continues, and at the end of it it just disappears and my iPod stays on the connect to itunes screen (the one with the usb lead and itunes symbol). I've tried everything on the apple support pages but have had no luck at all. I've only had the iPod for a month now and have had no problems with it up til now. I know there's often problems caused by updating, but after spending hours searcing online for a solution I've yet to find anyone with the same problem, and therefore no solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Maybe if you try restoring to a previous version first, and then restore from backup.
This may help you find out how to roll back to the previous version:

Why did my iPod touch go into recovery mode when updating to iOS 8.1 over the air???

I was updating my iPod touch (5th Generation) to iOS 8.1 over the air update option and my iPod goes into recovery mode...I hadn't backed it up in like 2 weeks and a lot happened in two weeks with photos and everything. I have yet to see if I get any of them back but why did this happen? I thought apples over the air update was reasonably easy and secure...?

Hey Haywards, There has been reported issues with updating iPods to iOS 8, one of which is updating with the cloud or through Wi-Fi. Your seeing one of the problems. After you get things cleared up with the DFU recovery, connect your iPod with your computer via the cable and run the update through iTunes. You should be OK. Or if still an option, don't do the update at all! Many have reported several issues with iOS 8 on iPods. Slow or laggy operation, missing apps, missing music, camera roll not working or missing and huge battery drain and charging issues, just to mention a few. You may want to hold off from updating if possible. Things to think about. Good luck, Cheers.

Why does my ipod touch go into recovery mode?

I recently got my new ipod touch. I had problems with my old one after I couldnt get that one out of recovery mode.
I tried to update my new ipod today and its been put into recovery mode. I've tried to restore it twice and its done nothing. I just need to get it out of recovery mod, can anyone help?

The only way I know of is to force it into DFU mode, out of recovery mode. Hold down power for 10 seconds, then the power and home until the screen flashes white, then hold the home button for four or five seconds. Proceed to restore.

IOS 7.0.2 sent my iPod touch 5g into recovery mode

I just upgraded my iOS devices to the latest version. While all went fine on my iPad 4, my iPod touch 5g asked me to connect with iTunes after finishing the update, then forced me to perform a "factory restore", making me loswe all of my data.
I just wanted to inform fellow iPod touch users to wait before updating. You might lose valuable data!

You should always backup (to both iCloud and itunes before n update because glitches sometimes happen with updating

HT201442 Just bought a brand new ipod touch a month ago and went in to iTunes. There was an update for me so I downloaded it to my ipod and then it went into recovery mode. Tried to restore it in itunes but was told this device isn't eligible. Help!!

Just bought a new ipod touch a month ago. Went into itunes to burn music and had an update to download which I did. Then I get a message that my ipod has gone into recovery mode. It's locked up with a black screen with iTunes logo and picture of a plugin on the screen. Tried to restore it as recommended but itunes said this device isn't eligible for the requested build. Error codes 3194 and 17. This is very frustrating considering the cost of the ipod and how new it is. Now what do I do? Buy another one? Can anybody fix these types of things? Is this a common occurance or am I just unlucky?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 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.
