Recovery Mode not recognized by Itunes PLZ HELP!

My IPhone 5S is in recovery mode but will not be recognized by Itunes? Any suggestion,  i cannot simply reset my phone because i put it into Recovery because it was not restoring, the bar didnt move and hasnt moved at all for the past 2:30 hours. It was not being recognised by Itunes in the first place, then on i tried to reset it to factory default which did not work and was stuck. when i try to restart it just goes back to the loading bar which does not move at all. So i put to factory default and would not be recognised by itunes again, i have tried
1) uninstalling and Reinstalling itunes and apple support
2) Yelling at it with frustration in hopes it would  work (Which obviously wouldnt work)
3) Restarting the Apple mobile support in the services of the windows pc and checking for updates for the itunes application
4) Updating the drivers for the IPhone in recovery mode but would not find any drivers to update with.
PLEASE HELP if i broke this phone my parents will KILL me. But i'm sure at least one person in the community would have a solution for my problem.
Please help me, my phone is my life! :O

Try placing the iPod in DFU mode and then restore.
Next try another computer

  • IPod Help needed from serious Apple gurus - iPod Touch 2g 16g stuck in restart loop. Will NOT enter DFU or recovery mode, NOT recognized by iTunes on Windows or Mac

    Ok, so here's the not so sad story. I bought an iPod Touch 2g 16g through Ebay - so forget warranties. Luckily I did not pay much. The description said it was stuck on the apple logo, so I figured it would be an easy put into recovery mode and restore problem.
    Not so much.
    If you plug the iPod in and charge up the battery the LCD will come to life after a while with the apple logo, then it displays the spinning wheel with the apple logo over it. That will last anywhere from 10 - 15 minutes, then the iPod will go blank for a few secs and then start up the cycle all over again.
    As stated, this iPod will NOT enter either DFU or recovery mode and believe me I've tried it several times several different ways with different timings, connected via USB to a Mac, connected to a different Mac running Windows, and connected to just the charger. Nothing. Occasionally the screen might go blank while holding the power and home buttons but nothing else happens and then it starts it's usual cycle again.
    Again, iPod NOT recognized by iTunes on either Mac or Windows side. Since I got off Ebay and seller didn't know much about it, I have no idea if someone tried to jailbreak this or not.
    I will not put much money into this machine. So I guess my question is: does this behavior mean that the motherboard is clearly fried? Are there any software programs that might diagnose what the problem is? Could it be as simple as a fried battery?
    And most importantly, is this iPod simply toast or is there anything anyone can suggest????
    Really any suggestions would be greatly greatly appreciated. Seems a shame to just trash an iPod touch that might need a simple fix...
    If it helps matters, I can tinker with iPods somewhat and have torn down and replaced several iPod touch 1g and 2g glass and digitizers with no problems. I'm somewhat software savvy but the whole jailbreak thing is new territory... and I can't really figure out the command in Windows or Mac terminals to list all connected devices so I have no idea if the computer even knows the iPod is there, even if iTunes doesn't. Guess that's it... ummm, please help???

    Nothing huh? No one's had this problem or this isn't fixable... oh well... if anybody comes up with anything I'll check in occasionally...

  • Ipad in recovery mode not recognized by PC or Itunes

    Hi All,
    I have a Ipad 1 that's stuck in recovery mode ( usb wireplug with itunes logo on top ), the really bad thing is that it's not recognized by and PC or any Itunes I tried, so there is no way to kick it out of the Recovery... When connected to the wallplug to charge it doesn't do anything, screen stays black. I tried all the obvious thins allready, holding down the home and powerbutton for 10 seconds etc etc, tried to find it in the device explorer on the pc ( It doesn't even register as a camera or harddisc in my computer ), It just loops into the recoverymode everytime I try any of the well known methods... Anyone have a better suggestion for me, maybe even the solution? Thanks in advance!!

    1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • IPhone 5s recovery mode not working AND itunes wont connect phone!

    I opened iTunes whilst my phone was plugged into my pc via USB and was told to update the software so I did.
    During the process of updating I noticed my phone screen was an image of a usb pointing to an itunes icon.
    I researched what the symbol meant and why i couldnt turn my phone back on and found out i need to do the recovery instructions.
    THEY ARE NOT WORKING.
    I have tried many times but iTunes is still not noticing that my iphone5s is plugged in.
    PLEASE HELP ME!
    Thanks.

  • Iphone 5c in recovery mode not recognized by windows 8

    Hey there. I'm having a LOT of trouble with my iPhone (5c) and I could use some expert help. A couple of days ago a vertical black line appeared on the right side of my screen. I hadn't dropped it or damaged it in any way, so I was a bit puzzled by it. A friend at work suggested I restored to factory settings to see if that helped (I didn't think it would, but what would be the harm to try?). Everything else was working just fine. Midway through the restore, iTunes says it can't finish because it can't detect my iPhone any longer. Meanwhile, my iPhone is now displaying the "connect to iTunes image". But now, when I plug it in, Windows does not recognise it. Tried with two different PCs, neither is working.
    I'm currently on a Windows 8.1 PC and using iOS 8.1.1 on my phone. I tried all the stuff on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support, but there's no way. Can anyone please help me out with this?

    Thanks for the help TJBUSMC1973. I followed the instructions on the microsoft site and when I plugged in the iPhone iTunes did recognize it. However, midway through the restore, it again disconnected somehow and iTunes could not complete the restore (error code number 9). At that moment, the image on the iPhone screen had changed from "connect to iTunes" to "updating" (apple logo with the progress bar below it). Now I'm back at square one.        

  • While syncing my ipod all songs and pictures were cleaned out of it and now it is not recognized by itunes.  Help!

    Whiling syncing my ipod all of my music and pictures were cleaned out and now my ipod is not recognized my itunes.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and it didn't help.  Any suggestions?

    What shows up on the iPod's display when you have it connected to your PC?  Have you tried resetting the iPod with it still connected?  To this, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, try rebooting your PC, opening iTunes, and then reconnecting your iPod to a high powered USB 2.0 port.

  • IPhone not recognized by iTunes, please help!

    Yesterday i updated iTunes to its latest version (10.1.1) in order to be able to update my iPhone 3GS to the latest OS version hoping to fix a problem with the phone's volume which goes all the way to low on its own. But ever since i updated iTunes my phone is not recognized by iTunes, yet it is recognize by my PC. I connect the phone, it beeps when connects, and the window that allows me to browse through the phone's camera roll opens, and it shows under My Computer. Yet it never appears under devices in iTunes. I have tried every single step recommended by apple.com without results. Does anyone knows how to fix this?? I need to back up my phone and i cant do it right now

    Hello Mr. Mai,
    I would be concerned as well if my iPhone and iPad were not recognized by iTunes.  Thank you for providing all the information with the steps you took in regards to this issue.  I found an article with a few more steps you can take (you can skip the steps you have already taken):

  • My iphone 3Gs has gone into recovery mode after updating via itunes..help..

    I plugged my iphone 3gs into itunes yesterday and it started to update the software - presumabley to 10.5? - came back to it an hour later and it was displaying an image of a usb cable and itunes symbol which i now undertand means its gone into recovery mode.
    I tried to restore it to the factory settings as advised but it won't work. Its telling me "This device could not be restored, it is not eligible for the requested build"
    Please help - this phone is not jailbroken!

    Ok, after 2 nights searching forums and trying different things I have managed to find a solution. I had to add a '# ' at the begining of the host directory.  This means nothing to me and I had to follow the steps in the following link but it worked perfectly -

  • TS1538 Ipod Touch stuck in DFU mode, not recognized in itunes after 1602 error restoring.

    I've tried all of the: Hold Power button and Home items. It's plugged into the computer, screen is black. Windows sees the apple mobile device driver under devices and hardware. The driver's properties says it's in DFU mode. It was constatnly stuck in Recovery mode showing the CD+music note icon and the 30-pin connector image. Connecting the ipod to the computer, windows makes the connection sound but itunes does not open. Opening itunes, ipod is not recognized.
    It's a gen 1 touch, version 2.? firmware, I think.

    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 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.

    also:
    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.

  • Ipod not recognized by Itunes, please help!!

    Hi,
    When I connect my ipod to my computer the follwing message comes up-
    "USB device not recognized- One of the USB devices attatched to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it."
    I've tried everything I can think of... downloading the latest software updates and the latest versions of itunes etc but still no progress.
    When I attempt to configure the ipod using the software supplied with it or one of the software updates issued on the site the ipod and computer both freeze and nothing happens.
    The Ipod is recognized by my computer but there is no sign of it in itunes.
    Has anyone got any suggestions!?
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated,
    Thanks, James

    >I should mention that on my second try installing it I was able to upload songs to it, however it seemed that the songs I unchecked made it and the checked ones did not.
    Hmmm... it may have to do with the song format?

  • 5310 not recognized by computer, PLZ HELP!!

    So i was transferring the data with data cable and the next day, it stopped working.. When i connect the cable, mobile recognizes the connection readily but computer shows NOTHING at all, I repeat NOTHING.
    I've tried :
    - installing latest nokia PC suite
    - uninstalling 'PC connectivity solution' and 'nokia connectivity cable driver'
    - removing the sim and memory card and connecting the phone, still it does not connect to PC. (Win 7, 32 Bit.. With all the latest updates)
    - Gone to settings > Connectivity > USB data cable> PC suite/ data storage/ printing and media
    - Tried changing the cable, still nothing
    - Strange thing is that one day, it was fine and the next day it stopped working.. PLZ help me!!!!!

    Given those information, if you think the issue is with the phone, you can try to do basic troubleshooting steps on the phone:
    1. Power cycle. Turn off the phone, remove the battery and turn it back on.
    2. Soft reset: This will return the phone back to its default settings. Your personal data such as messages will not be deleted. To do this, dial this code on the phone. *#7780#. The default security code is 12345 unless otherwise changed.
    After this, you can try to connect the phone and see if there has been any difference. Keep us posted!
