Have you updated Itunes to the latest version?
When you connect the USB cord to your computer does Itunes see the iphone?
(if it does what does it say exactly)
If its in recovery mode you will need to restore & update it.
Which there should be a button in itunes under (devices on the left side that should say Iphone)
When you click on that it should take you to a screen that has a restore button.
Click on the button and follow the on screen guide to update it.

  • HT1339 after restoring my ipod nano (6th gen) it says that it is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. i cannot get passed this stage. help!!!

    I have restored my ipod nano 6th generation and am being told it is now in recovery mode so needs to be restored which is what i have just done. I can't get any further than this. Please help.

    Are you really running Windows 98? I sure hope not. :S
    I have noticed a few others with the same problem the past couple of weeks. Many of them were able to resolve the issue by doing a low level reformat of the iPod's flash storage using the instructions in this article.

  • I upgraded to 7.0.4 on my iphone 4s and now it isn't working and itunes states that it is recovery mode - help

    I upgraded to 7.0.4 on my iphone 4s and now it isn't working and itunes states that it is in recovery mode - help - I don't want to do a factory restore!!!!

    If you're phone is in recovery mode, then all your data is already wiped off.  you'll need to proceed if you want to use your phone.
    However after it is done recovering, you can restore back from your backp.
    You do backup on a regular basis right?

    Hey saandyy,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    You can try to restart the iPhone to exit recovery mode.
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

    Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.

    You need itunes to get the phone out of recovery mode.

  • When i put my iphone on charge or try to turn it on it says connect to itunes when i do that it says that my phone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored!

    Someone please help me, i really dont want to restore my iphone as i have really important things on it, the phone has not been backed up in a long while..
    i dont know how this happend but i was trying to update tmy iphone like 2 days ago but the update didnt end up completing due to the battery percentage being below 50, anyways i ignored the update and thought id do it later, yesterday i got notifications saying that the phone will continue the update and restart in a few minutes or something along those lines i had the option to click restart later or something like that so i clicked on that, later on my phone died and i put it on charge, as it was turning on the apple logo came up with the dowload bar underneath it, you know when you update or restore your phone and it loads, it was like that, it was taking forever, like it took so long that i removed my phone from the charger and it just froze for a bit then turned off, when i tried turning it on again it told me to connect to itunes so i did and now its telling me that my phone is recovery mode and it needs to be restored!! Is there any way i could fix this problem without restoring my phone?
    Thank you

  • Upgraded iPad 2 to iOS6 - asking me to connect to iTunes - when I do, my Mac is saying 'detected an iPad in recovery mode but need to upgrade iTunes to a newer version (our Mac too old to upgrade). How do I restore iPad so I can use it again?

    I upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS6 following a prompt from the application icon. 
    Once that was complete, my iPad asked me to connect to iTunes which I did.  iTunes then told me that it detected an iPad/iPod in recovery mode and I needed to have a newer version of iTunes to restore.
    I've tried before to upgrade to a new version of iTunes but was advised my Mac was unable to support this due to the Mac's age and old operating system.
    How, therefore, do I get back onto using my iPad 'cos at the moment, all I get when I switch it on is the 'connect to iTunes' symbols.
    Help please, I'm getting withdrawal symptoms!

    During a normal install of iOS 7.0.6 this does not happen but something clearly went wrong in your installation.
    To fix this, connect to iTunes and restore to Factory. Hopefully your iPad will be working again and you can restore your iCloud backup during Setup.

  • TS1363 My Itunes says that my Ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored but then it doesn't restore because of an error 1600! What do I do?

    Help me please!

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

    i pressed all of the options, the disk clean up, the format, the reload firmware, the reboot. everything.

  • Zen Touch Firmware v0.0.8 Anyone? Having Problem in recovery mode and need to reload firmware

    As stated in subject, i need a firmware for Zen Touch, for version v0.0.8... I know the firmware is old, but i'm STUCK in the recovery mode after the player hung... I didn't back my music up yet, so, anyone here can help me with this problem? Or is it any other firmware available that is suitable to be reloaded too? Help~~
    Thanx,

    Not sure if this is addressed at me, but you can never guarantee 00% that a firmware upgrade will work. You should always keep a backup of important files on your player, which is common sense.
