My phone is in recovery mode but its not recognized by my computer

I could not get in to my phone because I forgot my Passcode. I was finally able to get my iPhone in recovery mode but it is not recognize my device. I know the USB cord works because I also have an iTouch and it connects. I've also tried to connect on different USB ports. I also have a Desktop and I downloaded iTunes and connect my iPhone to my desktop. When I connect the iPhone to my desktop it connected to iTunes and it showed that it was in recovery mode. I tried to restore it but I keep getting error 1611. All my USB cords work and the ports are working fine. I have the most updated software and I've tried using DFU mode. Does anyone have any suggestions or can my phone be saved at all.

I've tried everything to get my phone out of recovery mode but nothing is working.

Hi,
I recently started updating my phone to I.O.S 8.1.3, and it was downloading and updating fine, then it said it had an error updating. I turned it off and on again to see if that would work, and when I clicked install it showed up as if it was turning off. It then showed up that I needed to connect to iTunes. So I did, and it said it was in recovery mode, and that I needed to restore. So I tried that and it said multiple times, when I got part way through the restoration, that the network had timed out when it hadn't. So I researched ways to get it out of the recovery mode.
I've tried:
holding down home and lock button
holding down lock and volume button
downloading tinyumbrella, however it wouldn't let me open it
Putting it into DFU mode and restoring
Nothing is working! I don't know what to do, I need my phone for when I'm travelling and now I don't have one.
Anyone got any more ideas? I'll be incredibly grateful.
If I can't get this to work I've wasted £200 of money on a phone that decides it's logical to kill itself. I won't be doing that again.

I was trying to download TinyUmbrella because some people have said it basically kicks phones out of recovery mode, and I did try that but it hadn't worked, it kept loosing connection with the phone even though it was connected.
I took the phone to the O2 shop and they did something to restore it, so it's working fine finally thanks for replying!

My Iphone is in recovery mode, but does not respond to Itunes

Got error when updating to iOS 6, and then the phone went to recovery mode (picture of the USB cable and an arrow to the Itunes mark).
i have tried to do as the help suggested, by restarting the phone, holding in the home button and connecting it again to the USB cable.
Have also tried 3 different USB slots and Reinstalled Itunes.

Hi Matt2602,
I hope you are able to get your iPhone restored soon.

HT1414 phone is in recovery mode but cannot restore with error code 21,26

After my latest update on my iPhone 4 my phone started just shutting down and restarting by itself. I have tried to restore the phone with the latest version of iTunes but now get the error message that iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode. Well that's fine, I selected recovery and when it appears that the recovery mode is going to go through the recovery mode returns an error code.
The first code I received is the error 1656, then a 26, then the final attempt I got an error code 21.
This phone has never been dropped, mishandled, or taken any physical damage. It was working great before I attempted to update.
Please if anyone else has experienced this let me know how you resolved these errors.
I have attempted every trouble-shooting step indicated on the Apple support site.
HELP!

If you have seen and attempted as per the guidelines and not been successful, see the Red text.

These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

I can see my recent photo in camera mode but its not in my albums

I recently took a photo and I can see it in the small corner display. But when I go to my albums its not there under any location. I've taken More and I'm able to find those. But as I delete those it goes back into the display with that one photo that I cannot locate. It was on the front facing and it started to burst photo but only one went through and I let go of the button to look at it. i couldn't find it anywhere. I still can't.

So does Apple not check these support posts then?

I have been trying to restore my ipod touch for several weeks. The ipod is on the usb-itunes screen but the computer will not recognize it. I have tried three different laptops and am now very frustrated. I have also tried several different usb connectors.

Try putting the iPod in DFU Mode vs. Recovery Mode.

Updated to iOS 6.1.2, phone went into recovery mode and will not restore, help?

exactly as the title says.
error 3194 came up and well yeah, nothing's working.

Most likely you previously used an iPhone hacking utility such as tinyumbrella that messed with your computer hosts file, blocking access to the Apple server gs.apple.com. See this:
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. FollowiTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

IPOD nano in DISK MODE, but still not RECOGNIZED

My Ipod Nano has stopped being recognized by my PC (Windows XP OS). After reading the discussion topics here I had a hope that after switching it to DISK MODE, the PC might recognize my Nano. However, it still doesn't. I hope the Wizrds out here rectify the problem I am facing with my IPod.

Try restoring your iPod (in Disk Mode) from somebody else's computer. (This might replace everything on it with their music for the time being, but you already seem willing to wipe your iPod, so it should be OK.) If it works, then try to do the same thing again on yours. But the problem in this case would be not with your iPod but with your computer. Try reinstalling iTunes. If that doesn't work, then the issue is probably a more general one with your Windows installation and it may be difficult to find help here.
If on the other hand your iPod won't restore in disk mode from ANY computer, then the only option I see remaining is to take it in for servicing.
