My phone goes into restore mode when connecting to wifi

I have golden apple, golden apple with blue corner, white bar down middle of screen, and scrambled colors when trying to restore which at the longest has taken 2 days before it gives up and finally does it. I think I have traced it to connecting to wifi anywhere, even at home. I am getting another phone but since this is the 2nd one that has done this I am wondering if it is my problem and not the phone? I had my first phone over a year with no problem but this one only a few weeks. At first it was once a week it would shut down but now it is everyday IF I can get the phone to restore. Could it be the wifi or just bad luck?

You may need to try this More than Once...
Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

What happens when you try to restore? Error message?

My iPad 2 goes into restore mode almost dailyand can't restore it anymore error 1603

My iPad 2 goes into restore mode almost daily. I usually just restore and sometimes use the iCloud backup. This time, my iPad cannot restore. I have gotten the error message 1603. I have the latest version of iTunes. PLEASE HELP ME

Hello Sean,
It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

Why does my iphone 5 keep going into restore mode? i had to restore it because it wouldn't let me do anything else and it goes into this mode at least once a day now.

My iPhone5 went into restore mode. I restored it and now it goes into restore mode at least once a day.

Restore as new. If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

HT3529 Can i set my phone to use imessage only when connected to wifi?

I just got a new iPhone and i like how i can use imessage to text my friends because i don't get much service at my house but i have wifi. However, when i'm out i'd like to send normal texts without imessage so it doesn't use my data. Is there a way to set my phone to only use imessage when connected to wifi? I know i can manually turn off imessage but i would rather not have to turn it off every time whenever i am out.

No.
Text only uses very little data - miniscule, and MMS with the iPhone uses cellular data.

IPod goes into recovery mode when plugged in, and forces me to restore

Basically what is written above ^^ is what is happening to my iPod Classic 80GB. It hasn't done this until recently, and every few days or so when I go to sync new songs onto my iPod, it goes into recovery mode and says that the iPod must be restored. Now, normally this wouldn't be a problem, but when you have an 11,000 song library that takes around 4 hours or more to sync, it gets really under your skin.
I'm running Windows Vista, any help?

I just purchased a Classic iPod, and two days later it is stuck in this restore loop. The iPod worked fine until the restore was complete. When unplugged from the computer, it responds fine, but now cannot sync at all to put media on the device.
Current machine is WinXP SP2 (work machine). It is also happening on Win7 desktop, 13inch Macbook (OS 10.6.3), and Mac Mini (OS 10.6.3)(personal machines).
Does this appear to be a faulty device?

IPhone 5 going into recovery mode when trying to update iOS 7

My 5 went into recovery mode when trying to update to 7.0.2 OTA. At first I was like ok just a glitch. Well trying to update to 7.0.3, it did it again. So right now I am again in the process of restoring and updating my 5.
What is going on?

because I'm an idiot.. of course.. All my other over the air updates have worked, I had a good wifi connection, knew I had a backup, and was desperate to get past the initial bugs I've been experiencing..
I downloaded iTunes on my work PC, enough to get it going again, which I bascially had to do twice.. iTunes didn't find a backup and said that iCloud didn't have a backup, even though it did.. So, it did a basic install of iOS 7.. I then erased all settings from the iPhone itself and when it restarted I chose to restore from iCloud which the phone was able to find..
Have not seen anything better.. I've had a couple random reboots. Once when swiping the Starbucks notification on the lock screen, the phone immediately crashed back to the apple boot screen.

HT4623 Updating from OS 6.0 to 6.1 and almost instantaneously my phone goes into recovery mode??!

I was running on battery but I had 98% and receieved no warning like I did when I was on 48% (it told me I need 50% to do update). I was at home attached to my own wifi network.
So I clicked ok on the agreement and clicked in Install. After about 5 seconds the screen when black and the Apple logo came up. Then after another minute the screen changed to show a USB cable should be plugged into iTunes!!! *** I thought. So I plug into my MacBook and in iTunes it says my phone is in recovery mode and I need to wipe it clean back to factory settings!!! Are they joking? Seriously trying to tell me that a simple 47mb OS update failed after less than a minute.... and now my phone is trashed!
I have some apps on the Cloud but I don't keep sensitive data on the Cloud. So question is do I really have to go through a recovery and lose all my photos, phone contacts, notes, calender, and especially my disctaphone recordings?? Surely these should be recoverable be I have 'return my iPhone back to factory defaults.
Help! Or iPhone is going in the trash and i'll move back to Windows OS phone. I've owned Macs since 1987 (and am on my 6 generation machine) but after issues with iPods held of moving to an iPhone for this very reason.
So question is a) will a wipe back to factory setting wipe everything? b) is there a way to get saved files off the iPhone before this happens?
Many thanks
Pip

Managed to sort my problem - used TinyUmbrella, but not sure if I did something odd, but after using that and then trying to restore, I got the error "this device isn't eligble for the requested build".
Found a solutions to this here:
http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/03/fix-this-device-isnt-eligible-for-the-requested-b uild-error-in-itunes-when-updating-ios/
Doing the manually editing the host file route got rid of that error and then I was able to restore as normal.

HT1414 Phone goes into panic mode and shuts off and reboots every once in a while

So i had my iphone 4s replaced a few months ago and i restored my iphone with my backup from my last iphone i had and i just started noticing my iphone wouldnt respond when i hit the power or home button even tho i know i have it turned on and when i press the home button it reboots or either it will go into panic mode and i have to hold down the Power Button and Home Button till it restarts itself. I dont think my backup files on itunes are corrupted but maybe they are or maybe my phone is malfuctioning. Anyone have this problem with Iphone 4s or 5 or anyone have any advice whats going on or what i should do?

Hey Fleurdemimi,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPhone 4s. Based on the information you have provided, restoring your iPhone in recovery mode may resolve your issue:

My macbook goes into 'sleep' mode when my mobile runs over the bottom left corner, next to the trackpad, does anyone else have this problem?

Not sure if anyone else has this problem. I only noticed it a few weeks ago when I left my mobile on the keyboard, towards the left of the trackpad. When I started typing I accidentally nudged my phone off the board and then everything went black. I hit any button and everything turned back on again. I'll assume that it went into 'sleep' mode. Is this normal or should I be worried about the health of my mac?

I am facing pretty much the same problem ... although sometimes the click does work on other parts of the trackpad, but largely I have to stay focused on the left bottom corner. It's getting slightly frustrating esp. because I like the click better than the "tap" and my MAC is only a month old!!
Is this a software issue or a h/w problem?

IPhone 4 goes into speaker mode when making calls

Hi, if someone knows a fix please do share as i just runned out of ideas and i cant find anything else online to repair this issue.
I have an IPhone 4 everything is working fine but when i make or recieve a call the device goes automaticly to speaker mode and i cant hear or be heard.
At this point im getting suspicius its a software fault, as i already did most common procedures like reeboting, reinstaling IOS, changed the mic and speaker module, changed the power connector for a new one and none of these work as the IPhone is still in the same condition.
Ive read another fix involving an audio complier chip fault, but im not too keen in separating the logicboard and saving it for last resource.
I´ve foung this video on Youtube that is the exact match to whats happening to mine but noone seems to know whats happening.

Basics from the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device. Have you gone through any, if not ALL these steps?

What do I do if my iPad2 goes into recovery mode when you were trying to install iOS8.1?

So I got back home from school and I saw that there was a new update. So I decided to install but I didn't have enough space for it. I uninstalled a few games and now I can install iOS8.1. Well it was on "verifying update" for about 5 minutes then all of a sudden it turns off. When it turned on it told me to connect itunes then I knew I was in recovery mode. Now my question is what do I do after this? Please help me out on this.

See if this similar post helps.
