Restpre iPOD, "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode".
Hi, my iPOD was running just fine (80GB, 5th. Gen). I made a mistake (i believe) and i connected my camera to download pictures from weekend while my iPod was connected, not synchronizing, just charging via USB. It seems that iTunes recognized the memorystick as an MP3 player or something. I tried to syncrhonize my iPOD and i get the following error: iTunes has detected an iPod in Recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. So, i restored my iPod and keep on getting the same error.
Help, how can I get my iPod out of "recovery mode"?.
Thanks in advance.
Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting document? 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

Went on a Vegas trip on Sept
11th. My iPad worked fine
before getting on the plane. In the hotel about 48hrs later I opened my iPad it
read the message: “iPad is disabled,
connect to iTunes.”
To my knowledge myself, nor anyone else has tried to access my device or
entered the password incorrectly 3 or more times.
I started by updating my iTunes account on my computer to the latest version.
Then multiple times I attempted
the “Use recovery mode”
steps.
e.g.
1. Turn off your device and leave it off.
2. Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes.
3. Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB
cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes
screen.
I received the message on my computer saying “iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.”
I click the “Restore iPad” button.
During which time the progress bar on my computer’s iTunes
screen was moving very slowly and other times seemed like it wasn’t moving at
all. I would leave my two devices and attached by the cable and upon returning
I would find that the process would have ended before it had completed.
Initially I thought it was a connections issue because I was in remote
locations with slow internet servers. Since being home I have re-attempted the
process and have been able to fully complete the forced recovery but I will
receive a message saying:
“The iPad could not be restored. The disk you are attempting to use is full.
Removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space.”
What recycle bin is the message referring to? Obviously I CANNOT access any
data on the iPad itself. Just for the **** of it, I did empty my computers
recycle bin and re-attempted the forced recovery process but as I suspected it
did nothing for the iPad and I still received the same message: “The iPad
could not be restored. The disk you are attempting to …”

When I havent got my ipad connected to a power supply I get an image on my ipad of the usb cable with an arrow pointing to a itunes icon and no matter what you try and do iyt stays on that for a few seconds and then switches off the ipad, connecting it through usb into itunes on my PC (XP) this image says on the screen but I get a message on itunes saying itunes has detected an ipad in recovery mode and mneeds to be restored - when I fire off the restore through itunes after a few minutes it comes back and says it cannot restore and give an error message 1603. I have also repeated the process through my wife's laptop (Vista) and get the same situation -it is an 32GB Ipad 3 purchased last November - any ideas ?
Try and turn off iPad/iPod and proceed to step 3 of Recovery Mode.
Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times. -

The message"itunes has detected a iphone in recovery mode. You must restore the iphone before it caan be used on itunes." yet when i do i still get the same message!!!
You have to restore the iPod, no ifs, ands, or buts...
After iOS is installed you will be asked if you what to set it up as a new iPod or if you want to restore from a backup.
If you have a good backup you can restore that and you're good to go.
If you don't have a good backup, then you end up with a "clean" iPod.... -

I tried to update software on my Iphone 3 from Itunes after i managed to sync phone to laptop but then i had a message (error 1015) after completing saying itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode, i am now unable to do anything with my phone, please help!!
You generally get that error code on a jailbroken phone ?
If it is Jailbroken then I am afraid you will get no help here. -

Message rcvd: iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
I plugged my iPad into an electrical outlet to charge it. It asked if I wanted to update. I replied yes. Now all that shows up on the screen is the image of the end of a charge cord that plugs into the iPad and an iTunes icon. Thinking that meant I should plug into the computer, I did so and got the message: iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes. I have done the restore, but want to know why this occured.
There's no possible way anyone here could determine why this has happened to your own device as there could be one of of many possibilities.

Has anyone been able to restore their iphone after updating on itunes?Probably over 200 million people have been able to restore their phone after updating on iTunes. 400 million if you consider that many people have updated more than once.
Have you restored it as directed? I gather from the fact that you posted that you tried and something went wrong. If you post what you did and what went wrong, including the error message and error number, we can probably help get your phone running again. -
TS2776 Itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode
When i updated Itunes and then updated to the latest Iphone update, I get the message that Itunes has detected an Iphone in recovery mode.You must restore to connect to Apple's Itunes. I have uninstalled Itunes and all other recommended software in a the recommended order and reinstalled and I am still getting the same error message. Not sure what else to do.
OK, so I have now plugged the phone into the laptop, and opened I-Tunes. I tunes on my lap top says it has "detected a phone in restore mode" and the only option is to go back to original factory settings.
Nothing I press on the I-phone (a 4G) will move the icon, and I don't want to go back to original factory settins (do I?). Seems as if that will remove all the apps. -

Error message on ipad when we tried to download images to computer. 'Itunes has detected an ipad in recovery mode. You must restore your ipad before it can be used with iTunes. It downloaded some images prior to this message and we selected skip any files with errors.
Ipad now just showing apple image with power cord. Don't want to click restore and lose all data.Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...
