  • Ipad 2 stuck in recovery mode after trying to update.  Is there any alternative to restoring?

    My ipad 2 prompted me to update, the screen went black and now it is in recovery mode with picture to connect cable.
    Is there anyway to save content or will I have to restore?

    You will have to restore or resync your content. Did you not take a backup prior to starting the update (it's too late to do so now) - if you did then you should be able to restore to that backup.

  • My ipod touch 4g is stuck in recovery mode after attempting to update to iOS 5. My computer is registering the ipod however itunes is not. Nothing ive tried has made it come up in itunes to let me restore. I've done the basics. Please help

    My computer is registering the ipod however itunes is not. Nothing ive tried has made it come up in itunes to let me restore. I've done the basics (i.e multiple computer restarts, switching USB ports, fresh install of itunes. I've checked the forums and everything I've found has involved things that I have been unable to do involving the itunes restore. Please save my ipod from a hammer.

    You can try 2 things:
    Restart your iPod by - Holding the Power and Home buttons until you see the Apple logo.
    Put your iPod in DFU and restore - Hold the Power and Home until the screen goes black, wait about 2 seconds, release the power button but keep holding the home for 15 seconds, then on iTunes, Restore and Update.

  • Ipad stuck in recovery mode after trying to update in ios6

    my ipad is stucked in recovery mode since trying to update in ios 6  any help?

    Hi there rmarr1,
    The only way to get out of recovery mode is by restoring the device via iTunes. If you initiated the update on iTunes on your computer, there may be a back up of the device that created before the update. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • Ipad 2 stuck in recovery mode after updating to IOS 5, Unknow error -1

    Hi Everyone,
    my Ipad 2 is stuck in recovery mode after updating to the latest IOS 5. Tried to restore, it comes up with unknown error -1.
    Ive tried all that I can including the tips given in the apple forums and internet. Please help.

    Hello soccerlime,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The error code "9006" in iTunes when updating or restoring your device indicates that access to the iTunes update servers is being blocked.  Please take a look at the information below to help resolve this error.
    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.

  • Ipad mini stuck in recovery mode after ios 8.1 update

    i have a first generation ipad mini which usually works fine.  last night the ios update appeared in my settings and i tried to install it.
    i didnt have enough space so deleted some apps and then installed.
    the ipad switched on at the end but said the update failed as i didnt have enough space i needed a little more.  i deleted more apps and attempted to install again
    this failed my ipad is now stuck in recovery mode, it hasn't taken itself out as apples help pages suggest after 15 minutes its been in recovery now for 15 hours
    i have tried to connect to itunes as the screen is telling me to but it will not recover from there either as apparently i can't connect to apple servers my connection isnt working - i assume because others are having this problem as i a using the same pc to post this message so know my network is fine.
    i need help to get out of recovery mode - itunes says my software is up to date so i may have this nightmare software already. 

    i originally tried to install the update using wifi and this did not work.  i think i might just chuck the thing as looking on the boards all my stuff will be lost anyway - i backed up 2 days ago but that is nowhere to be found now in itunes or the cloud kmt

  • Ipad 2 stuck in recovery mode after io6 update

    I have waited for months to update to io6 because I have been busy, and now that I have, I'm stuck in recovery mode giving me a (-1) error.  Some say that's a hardware error, but it can't be because it coincided with the update to ios6.  Here's what I've tried:
    Rebooting everything
    Tried to recover from mac.
    Tried to recover from windows.
    Tried to recover using different router without wifi.
    Placed in DFU mode.
    Did hard reset.
    Tried to hard reset with uplugging cord during download then reattaching.
    Tried tiny umbrella.
    Tried using different cord.
    Have the latest version of Itunes.
    Went into terminal and deleted file after # that some kid on you tube said to do.
    I'm at my end of searching.  Any suggestions????  I know it can't be hardware because it did this immediatly following the ios 6 update.  Thanks,

    When you do an iOS update certain parts of the hardware are used that aren't normally used. If these fail then you can get an error (-1). The error occurs not because of the content of iOS 6 but the update process itself.
    If you can't get out of recovery mode with all that you have tried then your iPad likely has a hardware problem and needs replacement. Hopefully you are still under warranty.

  • Why is my iPad stuck in recovery mode after iOS 5 update?

    I plugged in my iPad2 to sync and download a document.  I noticed that there was an update to iOS 5 so I elected to download the update.  As a result my Ipad seems to be stuck in recovery mode as every time I plug it in and attempt to connect to iTunes I get the message. "Itunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.  You must restore this iPad before it can be used with itunes."  I do so and after waiting for the update to download it tells me the same thing again.  I have tried different USB ports, rebooting my iPad and the computer and disabling antivirus software.  Please help me I literally need to use my iPad.

    I had a similar issue with my Ipad. I had to take it to Apple, they restored the system but after that my IPad did not sync. It was not until an hour ago I read on another forum someone suggesting disconnecting the Ipad abd turning it off, then connecting it to the PC (usb port) and then turning the Ipad on. Try it it may work for you. I tried apple support 3 times before with no luck! Good luck.

    Do you have to restore your iPhone again? You could try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. You could also try checking out this link.

  • IPhone 4S stuck in recovery mode after trying to update to iOS 7.

    After trying several different things, I still cannot get my phone out of recovery mode. I'm studying abroad and would very much like to not be stuck in Belgium without a phone. I also don't want to go buy a new one if there's a fix for this. I have tried everything from modifying hosts to using TinyUmbrella and it still will not restore. Any ideas?

    hi, Dear Dude, I have ever encountered this kind of situation. My iPhone stuck in recovery mode and I try these two methods.
    first method is mainmenu--->then,settings--->then,general settings--->then,tap reset option--->then,reset your iPhone
    second method is to use iPhone Data Recovery. To me, a computer newbie, it's convenient and useful. It brings my phone back to normal and enables me to recover all my lost data with just one click.
    Either of it can try!

    Hello Jeff,
    Based on what you stated, it seems that the restore is not going through because if a specific build you are trying to install. Check out the article below to walk you through resolveing the issue by checking the host file or jus ttring to restore your iPhone on a different computer all together. 
    Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
