My phone has been in recovery mode all day and now it's not even showing up in iTunes. What can I do?

It started this morning when i was syncing it to my iTunes to get some pictrues off of it for class and it said to restore it. I've done restore before so I clicked and went along. But then it didnt work at all and came up with error 14. I shut down my pc and turned it back on, plugged it in and after an hour of syncing it worked. Left, went to class and noticed that none of my music or apps were on my phone so after my class i went and plugged it back in again. Thats when everything went down hill. It said the same things about restoring and what nots so I didnt think anything of it.  Everytime I tried again it said it would fail with the error messages as 14,2003, or 3200. Now it's not even showing up in my iTunes when i plug it in. I've tried the advice on here but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any ideas?

  • HT4623 Trying to update to iOS7. Update was successful, but needed to do a few things next. Went through steps, then phone states update iCloud settings. Phone has been trying to update all night and today without success. Is there anything I can do?

    Trying to update to iOS7. Update successful except a few more things to do. Now it is in "updating iCloud settings" and has been updating all night and day. Do not understand why it is taking so long? Any suggestions?

    Try a Hard Reset.....
    Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds.  Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

  • TS3694 I downloaded and installed the ios 6 software last night and now my phone has been stuck on the silver apple and loading place for hours. Please tell me how i can turn my phone back on as soon as possible!!

    Last night on my phone i insalled the neew software ios6 and this morning when i woke up and it has done was show the silver apple and the loading symbol thing. The loader hasnt moved from its position since its been on. I dont know what to do to get my phone to turn back on and i need it extremely bad. Please help me!

    Hello Elliiee,
    The steps detailed below can help stabilize your iPhone.
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • My phone has been activated for over a week, and now it just reset itself and won't activate.  What do I do?

    I had this iPhone activated at my AT&T store last week.  I have had no problems with it, until tonight.  I was using it and then the loading screen with the apple came up and it said activation required.  When I try to activate it on the phone it says the servers aren't available, and to use itunes.  When I go to iTunes and plug it in, it says the software on my phone has expired and I need to upgrade.  It was running iOs 7.  When I go in to iTunes, no updated iOs is available and I can not activate it, it shows up with all my apps and music.  What do I do?

    So I had to manually update form a download on the iOS dev portal.
    https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action
    I used A1429 but apples info link didn't help for me deciding, luckily the wrong download just wouldn't install.

  • 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.

    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.

  • How long does it take to restore firmware.My phone has been in recovery for 3 hours now?

    How long does it take to restore firmware on iphone5.The phone is only 3 week old and has been in recovery mode for nearly 3 hours now?

    - No. That is too long. What does the status bar in iTunes say the iPod is doing?
    - Terminate the sync. Force close iTunes if necessary then reboot the computer. Also reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try again. If still problem come back with what the status bar says when it stopped.

    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.

    My phone has been upgrading for a few days,how do I stop it?

    Greetings Watchandpray,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error while updating your iPhone. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,
