My ipod touch wont restore and its stuck in recovery mode
I have an Ipod touch 2g mc model and it started having problems. it crashed often when playing games (i even restart it after installs), it restarted when i went on to the internet and got SUPER slow, so tried restoring it. it got to the point where it said "Preparing the ipod for Restore" and then it said "unkown error occurred(1603). and its been stuck in recovery mode for a long time now and i cant get it out no matter what i do. How do i leave recovery mode a different way? please respond.
p.s. ive had multiple errors but my most recent one has been 1603. and now it keeps saying 1603.
My Dad just fixed my problem! He used blackra1n. at first it dint work but then he saved it to documents and then put it into the Local Disk thingy, then he clicked on it, clicked the Make It Rain button, and it took like 20-30 minutes or maybe less while it was saying Running. Then finally my ipod turned back on! it didnt lose anything! like, Nothing at all was lost. so yah, that was pretty cool.

How do you reset an ipod touch when it is still stuck in recovery mode?
how do you reset an ipod touch when it is still stuck in recovery mode?
Having the same problem. Plugged into the computer, iTunes doesn't connect to it. Plugged it into the wall and the low battery bar shows up but then it goes to the black/apple screen and stays there. The screen goes black and then when it pops back on again (on its own), the apple is still there. Won't hard restart either. Halp!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -
Ipod Touch 2G 2.2.1 stuck in recovery mode - no access to restore file
Hello, I am currectly travelling and I won't have my computer for another 7 months.
I have an ipod Touch 2G with OS 2.2.1. I was using the Facebook app when it froze and stayed like that for a while. I decided to reset the ipod by pressing the PWR button and the home button. Once I did that I turn the ipod back on and the Apple logo came on but it was stuck. So I restarted it again. I decided to go to a cyber cafe to plug it in to see if it would fix the problem. When I plugged it in, I go the "plug it in into iTunes" or Recovery mode logo. Now iTunes asks me to restore my ipod.
Is there a way to cancel the Recovery mode? I really don't want to loose everything for the next 7 months of my trip.
I have tried to reset the ipod many times but I got the same results.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
GadiI had this same problem - tried the restore process about a dozen times with no positive results. Finally took the IPT to local Apple store where genius connected it to their system and it restored perfectly (as if I didn't know THAT was going to happen). What he told me next bothered me - that I would probably have to reload the IPT from scratch - but when I got home and connected the iPod to my iMac via USB, iTunes downloaded the most recent backup (which it had taken just before the restore had started) and returned everything to where it had been with one notable exception. I had just downloaded one song from the iTunes Music Store to the IPT before this whole episode got started, and it hadn't yet synched up to the iTunes music library on the iMac. The song was a loss - small price to pay for not having to try to replace a lot of other stuff that was on the IPT before. Hope you have an Apple store nearby. Sorry this isn't better news, but I went through all the other IPT troubleshooting stuff as well and nothing cleared the problem, so I didn't feel I had any other out except taking it in for "repair."

HELP! my ipod will NOT restore and is stuck in disk mode....
My ipod told me one day that it needed to be restored with itunes so i obliged.
I tried all usual stuff at first(play/pause and menu, menu select and toggle hold etc) but didnt work so resigned myself to losing all those magnificent songs id compiled by resetting by restoring to factory settings with itunes software. its made so much worse by the fact im travelling so have no access to my computer and have to listen to my friends playing jack johnson ALL the time! ye gods!
Have tried multiple times on various computers but doesn't work! just stuck in disk mode. Is there anything i can do except taking a hammer to the little bugger?!!!
ipod nano (2nd)In some cases, the iPod might get into a state in which the battery needs to be drained before it can be reset so try these steps.
1. Disconnect iPod from all power sources and leave it disconnected for about 24 hours.
2. Reconnect iPod to the Apple iPod Power Adapter or the computer and reset it. -
My husband plugged his iPod Touch into the USB port on the computer and, once it charged some, iTunes didn't recognize it as his iPod (calling it an "iPhone" rather than "Ed's iPod"). It said that iTunes had detected an iPhone in recovery mode and that he had to restore it. When he clicked on 'restore' it said, "Software for this phone is not currently available. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and try again." After a few days (after the battery was fully drained again), I plugged it into a wall charger and it began to charge. I was able to fully see everything still on the iPod and even to access his apps. I let it fully charge, but when I unplugged it, it went black again and now it will not do anything. Back to a black screen and if we plug it into the computer, the same cycle starts again with it being recognized as an iPhone needing to be restored, etc.
UPDATE: So, I let the iPod fully drain again and then plugged it into the computer and iTunes. It saw it as an iPod again and said it was in recovery mode and I was able to tell it to restore it. It went through the entire process, and as the iPod was restarting, it again called it an iPhone in recovery mode. Now I can no longer see the apps and the homepage on the computer but rather it shows the Apple symbols to plug it into iTunes to set it up - but again, says it is in recovery mode but will not restore it.
Someone please help!I searched the iPod Touch forum for "iphone in recovery mode" and it appears there are two possible solutions:

HT1339 iPod Nano will not restore and is stuck in Recovery Mode.
The iPod Software is up to date (as is iTunes itself), and I recieve the following message after clicking "Restore iPod..." and supposedly restoring it:-
"iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes."
Attempting to restore it again (by clicking "Okay" on the dialog box and then "Restore iPod..." in iTunes) will repeat the above ad infinitum.In some cases, the iPod might get into a state in which the battery needs to be drained before it can be reset so try these steps.

My iPhone 4s won't restore and is stuck in recovery mode
Hello everyone in the apple community
I recently purchased an iPhone 4s and I set it up via iCloud and it worked later when I arrived home after going with my dad for a party my iPhone would not start it was in recovery mode so I tried putting it in iTunes and starting restoring it then after it was 75% done it rebooted and iTunes says "the iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored an unknown error occurred (1) so I tried again but still no luck and I also tried putting it in dfu mode but still no luck. I don't think it has been jail broken because I don't know anything about jail breaking .
Could anyone please help me?I have been frustrated with several issues:
1) Smart Playlist not syncing correct (not matching iTunes library)
2) Songs staying on my iPhone and iPad that should be coming off. Songs that should be going on not.
3) iPhone and iPad filled with OTHER (amber) taking up space on the phone/pad.
4) iPhone and iPad continually getting stuck on last Step during syncing.
5) Neither would Restore. Get stuck on last step of download and then give a timed-out error.
Here's what I did and it seems to have worked.
By the way, I have had no problems with my iPod Classic.
To fix:
1) Make sure you sync and back up your iPhone/iPad (even though it's not been fully correct).
2) Make sure you back up to iClould (this is key). If you don't use iCloud, sign up. It's free. Otherwise you will lose all that is saved to your device. I did lose some photos, so email yourself any that you just would cry if you lost).
3) I have my device checked with SYNC THIS DEVICE...OVER WI-FI (although I don't think it has any affect on these steps).
4) Go to SETTINGS>GENERAL>RESET>ERASE ALL CONTENT AND SETTINGS
5) It'll make sure you really want to do this and you will have to enter any password on the device.
6) It takes a few seconds to clear. It'll then reset.
7) Follow instructions on the device (same ones you did when you first got it). During set-up, turn iCloud on with Apple ID. Once you go through the set-up, the device should have some Apps that come free and it should have no content.
8) Connect to your iMac (not sure if this will work with a PC, but should).
9) Set up as new device (I did not want to restore from what I had because I didn't want to put back the same problems).
10) Select the Apps, Music, Podcasts, Photos, etc that you want on your iPhone/iPad. This step takes time because you will have to arrange the apps on the page you want and reselect the items you want on the device.
11) Sync/Apply. This will take some time if you have a lot of items.
12) After the sync is complete. Disconnect from the iMac and go to Settings. You'll want to reset (how you want them) the Notificiation Center, Sounds, Wallpaper, add your email, etc. If your Contacts and Calendar are connected to your email address (Outlook), they will all come back once your email is set back up.
13) There, likely, will be some small adjusments you will want to make (custom ringtones, time to lock-screen, etc) that you will make as you go. These are minor.
14) I did these steps the other day. Played the iPod all day today (over 100 tracks affecting many Smart Playlist). Came home, synced the iPod (no problems as normal); synced the iPhone and then the iPad and both synced fast and accurate. What a change :-)
Hope this helps! Time will tell.

Can't get my phone to restore and is stuck in recovery mode
I have the latest version of itunes and for some reason it everytime i try to restore it, it gets to just about the end of the process then says that an unknown error stopped the restore process (error 1015)
can someone please help!I couldn't wait any longer as it wouldn't get out of recovery mode from either my iMac or my macbook pro, so I just ended up making a genius appointment.
The first time this happened, the genius told me to create a brand new admin account in my computer to see if it would clear up any issues with the syncing, but that didn't help when I tried it.
Yesterday the genius told me that I would just have to do a clean wipe on my imac and making sure to select "archive" when doing the clean install. He said it's most likely something on the computer and not with the iPhone since this is my second iphone replacement and the same thing keeps happening.
If you come across with a better solution than wiping the computer, please post it here.
Thanks,

Errors related to downgrading iOS
The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed. Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
