Recovery mode restore failure

I need your help
I updated my laptop MacBook Pro from Maverick to Yosemite unfortunately we got stuck when updating. No BACKUP! We are really regretting about this.
We are on recovery mode.
Did the First Aid, They could not verify and repair the disk that's why they could not update.
When on Restore, I opened the Macintosh HD by Image, I could see my datas are still there.
On recovery mode, tried to restore but they failed as Input/Output error. But my external hard drive is new(Format Mac OS Extended(Journaled) and works on other laptop.
Do you have other ideas how to back up this?
Your help will be appreciated.

Connect the external HDD to the MBP via USB (or firewire).
Boot the MBP with the Snow Leopard install disk ans select the external HDD for installing the OSX.
After the installation, restart the MBP selecting the external disk. (startup manager)

Open the internal HDD and copy as much data as you can on the external HDD.
If successful, swap d\rives or install a new HDD in the MBP.
Ciao.

HT1689 ran out of space while trying to ask question! ipad synced, new ios update 10 hour installed, itunes apparently stopped working, ipad mini requires connecting to itunes. ipad detectecte recovery mode, RESTORE. Restore what? Whole bloody thing?

I just synced the iPad Mini. then installed ios7.04. After 10 hour installation found that iTunes was frozen, and ipad required to be connected to itunes!restarted computer, reconnected ipad Mini. Now "ipad detected in recovery mode, restore" Click on "OK" and the only usable default left is reset factory settings. Does that mean i have to go through the whole rigmarole again?

Unfortunately yes it does. You might want to temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus software and that may speed up the process. However, you have to restore the iPad again, if it is in recovery mode.

HT201407 i have done a recovery mode restore and my i phone 3gs still wont activate????? can any 1 help plx

i have done a recovery mode restore and my i phone 3gs still wont activate????? can any 1 help pls

90+% of the phones sold on ebay are hacked or jailbroken. The symptom you describe is typical of a hacked or jailbroken phone that was updated or restored. It has either been re-locked to the original carrier, or the damage done by the hack is now preventing it from activating at all.
It may or may not be fixable, but you can not get help with it here. There is a good chance it will never be able to activate.
There is a very slim possibility that the activation servers are simply overloaded by all the new iPhones given as Christmas gifts, but my money is on a hacked, now bricked phone.

HT201210 recovery mode / restore loop - HELP!

Hi,
My iphone settings advised me of an update this morning, I updated the iphone as prompted.
Now my iphone 4s is stuck in a recovery mode / restore loop and I am unable to go into DFU mode as the power button is not responding...
I have tried about 20 times today to restore my iphone but it stops after a few minutes saying the network timed out... I have tried this on 4 different computers and get the same message each time.
I need my phone for work so its really frustrating.
The 4th computer is not even recognising the iphone as a device.
Any ideas?

Maybe you'd like to tell us what the error was, exactly?

"iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode" restore and doesn't work

I'm trying to put my music on my new iPod and keep getting this error message "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore the iPod before it canb work with iTunes". I click "restor to factory settings" and then the same error message comes up when it's complete. iTunes does recognize my iPod, it just doesn't seem to realize that I've already done what it's telling me to do. Going around and circles and can't get my music on...:( Help, please?
Thanks!
Beth

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? Have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if restoring doesn't work, it may be of some help: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore

HT201407 iPhone is connected to iTunes now phone is recovery mode restore accurred no 2003 what can i do for recovery

iPhone is connected to iTunes now iPhone is recovery mode i got message accurred no 2003 now iwant restore iPhone

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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPhone4 in recovery mode, restore stops half way through with an error message.

Hi, please help if you can. I have an iPhone 4 running the latest IOS which for some reason hung on start up with the Apple logo. It would get out of the loop, so got it into Recovery Mode, connected up for restore fine. This happens fine, then half way through the restore there is an error message, saying the restore cant be completed. I've tried it on three machines, different cables, different USB ports, and am now stuck.
Its unloced but not jail broken.
Thanks go your help.

Disabled iphone, different computer, recovery mode restore failing

My daughter's Iphone 4 is disabled because she forgot the password. (She was actually grounded and her angry father changed it, but we forgot it over time. lol) The computer that it has always been backed up on has crashed. I've tried to restore it in recovery mode, but it displays the "need passcode" message in the middle of what appears to be a restore. We called Apple Support and, even with the serial number off the original box, they said that support would cost a $19.00 fee. Ideas?

I googled and found http://osxdaily.com/2010/06/24/iphone-dfu-mode-explained-and-how-to-enter-dfu-mo de-on-your-iphone/. I entered DFU mode, hit restore in itunes, and it appeared to be doing fine. However, when it was finished, the phone was still exactly the same. ;-(

HT201413 I recently was sold a Iphone 4 (Via Ebay), but the phone was shipped to me with a standing pass-code on it, and now the seller will not return any forms of contact to me. What can I do, I have tried recovery mode - restore, but I get same error m

The Iphone "Iphone" could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build. Then I am given the option to click "More Information", or Ok. I have followed all of the necessary steps, but I haven't had in suecessful trials. Will someone PLEASE help, I am REALLY ready to use my fricken 280 Dollar Iphone! Lol. Thanks.

Bad news: It sounds as if you were sold a jailbroken iPhone.
Good news: File a SNAD with eBay. Make sure all your correspondence has been through eBay Messaging. The fact that the seller has been ignoring you will not sit well with them.
You will get 100% of your money back, including shipping. Paypal will simply seize his funds and return what is yours.
Lesson: Don't buy a used iPhone.
It's much worse for the seller. His PayPal and eBay accounts will be frozen. Until he squares up with both you and eBay, he's out of money and out of business.

TS3694 Phone is only showing apple logo over & over again.. While in recovery mode, restoring in iTunes ended up getting error "2001" I've tried to see if I had the up-to-date iTunes software (11.0.1) & i do.

I'm having an issue with my phone not wanting to restore. It was perfectly fine yesterday then it wouldn't turn on ( so I assumed that I had maybe resetted the phone) while trying to seperate my animals. I can get to the connect to iTunes screen, but after I downloaded the iPhone software to be installed, let it run it's course, and then went home. I had to get back to the connect to iTunes screen so I got back to that screen to hopefully install the software and instead I ended up getting "error 2001", looked at Apple's resolutions for that specific error and found that my iTunes is in fact up to date. I don't know where to go from here. Please help!

I'm adding more information:
in Finder, my iMovie folders are all visible and accessible. When I click on a clip from iMovie Events folder, Quicktime opens and plays the clip. ALL my video is not missing - it just isn't showing up in the Event Library!
This happened all of a sudden, while I was working on iMovie project (on both computers).
All my Projects are intact, and play when I open them.

IPhone 4S will not start or charge, error message when trying to restore in recovery mode

So my iPhone 4S shorted out the other night while I was charging it. I did the hard reset and it restarted itself. But later that evening, it turned off and wouldn't restart no matter what and would not charge. When I connect it to my computer (mac) iTunes recognizes it and says it is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. It starts the restore process and the apple logo comes up with a loading bar but then when it gets to the "verifying restore with Apple" it gives an error message (9) and then the phone goes back. Please help!

Hey rileyec,
I found this information about error 9:
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

If those steps do not resolve the issue, I would attempt to perform a recovery-mode restore:

Is it possible to do a backup while my ipad is in recovery mode? Or to restore it without losing my photos?

hi everyone!
I NEED YOUR HELP!!!!
yesterday i updated my ipad to the latest iOS version and my Ipad is now stucked on recovery mode. Unfortunately, I have no backup and I have many photos in it that I don't want to lost. Can someone help me please!
I searched on internet and didn't find anything to help me. Are my pictures now erased? If I go to the apple store, would they be able to help me?
thanks

I am sorry, but all of the iPad content is gone now. With no backup, there is no way to retrieve anything. You cannot backup now either. Use recovery mode, restore your iPad and download your content again and start all over. You have no choice.

HT4623 How to re download iOS 7 for my iphone 5c, I think my back and system restore has a virus, I want a new version to download, I know it has something to do with recovery mode.

I did a restore from back, a restore to new phone and a recovery mode restore, now I want to download the iOS 7.0.4 again, I called apple and they wont walk me through this to re download it, they did a few month back when I was working on my bother phone, his battery kept going dead and after the download it was all good, now my battery is dying much faster and I would like to have a new slate of the OS re downloaded, how do I do this, I know it has something to do the recovery mode.

All you have to do is restore the device to factory settings. Once the device is in recovery mode, and connected to itunes via USB Itunes will show a message" iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode, click ok to restore now" Then click ok and it will restore the phone to factory settings, with a fresh copy of iOS7.0.4. Just make sure your iTunes is up to date before trying to restore.
