SCE reboots into recovery mode everytime

I have a SCE1000 running 3.5.0 (or 3.1.7), and every time it reboots, it goes into recovery mode. When I connect, it prompts for the initial setup questions, and when it tries the save them, most of them fail because it is in recovery mode. Also when rebooting, watching the output of the AUX port, you can see the software generate errors (always at the same point) and the device actually reboots about three times before bringing up the login prompt on the Console port.
It was working in a test environment just fine, but I think it crashed when I made a couple of changes to the RDR generation options in the BB SCA 3.5 application and tried to apply them.
I've used the aux port to re-install the 3.5.0 package, and also install the 3.1.7 package, but it still crashes.
Anyone have any ideas on what to do next. I'm having problems getting a TAC case open, problems with the ownership on the SmartNet contracts as we are leasing.... Working on sorting that out.
Cheers

Ipod shuffle 2nd gen wont sync music it always gets stuck on a different song everytime and the puts the ipod into recovery mode!

Hey guys
My dads 2nd gen ipod shuffle will not sync music. I try to sync the music by autofill and manually and it freezes for a long time,and then says the device cannot be found. It then puts the ipod shuffle into recovery mode and i then have to restore the ipod and loose all the data.

The shuffle may be losing its data connection to the computer during the time it is syncing. If you have not already, you should shut down (power off) the computer. Disconnect all USB devices (except for standard keyboard and mouse if normally used), including hubs. Do this to Reset the shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
Start up the computer, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port. Try repeating the action that is causing the error.
If that does not help, select the shuffle in iTunes and go to its Settings screen. There is a checkbox for Enable disk use. If that setting is checked, uncheck it. If it is not checked, check it. Basically, reverse the current setting. Apply the change. See of that makes any difference.

IPhone 5 went into recovery mode trying to upgrade to iOS 8.1

So last night i tried upgrading my iPhone 5(iOS 8.0.2) to iOS 8.1. Initially the phone hung up maybe due to network being slow and i rebooted my iPhone which took around 10 mins just to come back on and then took about 2 hours searching for my network but in vain. Then i retried iOS upgradation only so that my network can come back. Upgaradation failed but network came back.
Today i went to a much better fast network and started my upgrade. An alert came of text "Verifying Upgrade" and after about 10-20 minutes my phone just went into recovery mode showing the Connect to iTunes sign. Now it keeps on saying restore which will delete all my data plus i need to download the entire 1.87 gb of it instead of just an up gradation of 64-65 mb. Now what am i supposed to do.
I have been using Apple products for the past 5 years almost as i am a iOS developer myself. Apple is really starting to loose it. I never had OS problems before and even the iOS 8.0.2 was too slow for my phone. Now this phone is not under warranty anymore so what i need to know from Apple ASAP is what do i need to do to make my iPhone up and running and i think they should cover this as this is their OS problem.

Right if my Honda breaks down - Honda should cover the cost right?
If your phone is in recovery mode, then connect to iTunes and restore your phone.

Ipad was forced into Recovery Mode and I can't get out. Please help me!

Hi all. I'm dealing with a problem and could really use some help. I recently updated my Ipad to ios 4 with no problems and was enjoying it greatly. Afterward, I loaded Pages and Atomic Browser from the app store.
Anyway, I was surfing the net on Atomic Browser and then turned the ipad off momentarily to grab something from the kitchen. When I came back, the Ipad would not start.
I'd push the power button but nothing. Push and hold the power button. Nothing. Push and hold the home button. Nothing.
After many attempts, I decided to push the home screen button with the power button to force a reboot. I did this once a few months ago, and it just restarted my ipad fine. But this was before i updated to ios 4.
After doing this, it gave me the recovery mode screen with the pic of the usb cable pointing to the itunes logo. It has never done that before.
I don't want to reformat my ipad, i just wanted to turn it back on. I tried to exit recovery mode by holding the power button and home screen again, but it just keeps me stuck there. Nothing I do can get me out.
I don't want to reset the ipad and restore a back-up because I will lose some valuable pages documents I created recently.
Can any one help me?
Thank you all very much!

The same thing happened to me. After the big update, I also experienced exactly what you described. I ended up restoring the ipad a number of times.
The first few times, I restored from a back-up. The last few times I have restored the ipad as new. It would work the next few times I turned the machine on, and around the third time, it would lapse back into the recovery mode, with
the image of the serial cord connecting to an i-tunes logo on its desktop. This morning, I restored the ipad as new, but only allowed the apps manufactured by Apple to be synced back onto the ipad. I have powered it back on about three times, and so far, so good. I am waiting to see what happens the next few times I turn the machine on.
I had a very helpful senior Apple express advisor help me on Sunday to do the restore as a new ipad procedure. He said that if that did not work, the next step was having it serviced. He also mentioned that often the third party apps have problems due to getting corrupt and this often happens after a major update. That is why I thought i'd try and see what would happen if I only synced the Apple apps back onto the ipad.
It is not good though if I can't put third party applications on it without having the problem of lapsing into recovery mode, so I may have to get it serviced. I am wondering how many others have had this problem after the big update last week? Also, has anyone who was an early purchaser and got the flat-rate unlimited data plan subscription from AT&T, had to have their ipad replaced? Was there a problem with AT& T still allowing you to continue your special subscription plan?

Booting into recovery mode and Web service in 10.7 server

I have two servers: Server A is running 10.6 server and server B is running 10.7 server. Both are on the same LAN at a data center. My questions are as follows:
1 - is there a way to restart server B into recovery mode remotely? (and not using a KVM)
2 - if server B was booted successfully into recovery mode is there a way to screen share with it from server A? If so how would this be done?
3 - can Apple Remote Desktop reboot a 10.7 machine into recovery mode and still continue to see its screen?
4 - in the Server app of 10.7 server there is a default website setup in the Web service. it doesn't seem possible to edit any of the information for this default website, is this true?
5 - is there any way to get the Web service in the 10.7 Server Admin tools? it is missing among many other services.
Thanks

Probability is very high that you have a hardware failure. You should get an external bootable drive (or startup with a bootable DVD if you can) JUST to prove that it's not the motherboard, but probably the hard drive that's failed.

My mac reboots to recovery mode...help

I have a mid 2007 imac....upgraded RAM and installed Mavericks... Everything fine here. The other day I was working on some graphics and it completely froze...nothing responded so had to perform a hard reboot. After this, started having boot problems. Got the file and questionmark logo....made safe reboot....seemed to work. Reboot number 2....still doesnt work so i decided to reboot a gain into recovery mode....performed a disk repair from disk utility and said it couldnt repair. So i wiped the HD and tried to reinstall mavericks.....stuck at 0 (zero) seconds. waited for half an hour and had to hard reboot. Now my mac automatically starts into recovery mode and does not recognize my HD when i try to selct it as boot disk.....im desperate....someone please help. Oh and a mac store ain't an option because the closest one is +3 hours away (i live in a small town)

First boot your Mac into Single User mode by holding down the Command + S till then you hear the start up chime. After that you will see a bunch of white text starts appearing. Now when the Single User boot sequence got finished, you will see the command prompt at the bottom of the screen by a hash sign(#).Just tpye the following command there : fsck -fy
After that 'File system was modified' message will appear, then again run the above command until you see another message prompting that 'the volume appears to be ok'. Then type reboot to leave Single User mode.
Secondly, the startup disk system preference is the usual method to set this. As the setting is written to NVRAM, you could also just reset that and the mac should prefer the OS over the Recovery HD. If you can't select the Mac OS X, re-run the OS X installer.

Mountain Lion only boots into Recovery mode after using iCould lock

Hi everyone!
I have searched the forums for hours now, but I can't seen to find an answer to my question, so I'd like to ask it.
Recently my system partition failed due to frequent kernel panics caused by a cable in the screen I think. The kernel panics still occur, but I don't know what to do with them.
I managed to save my files and reinstall my osx, which is Snow Leopard (the disc came with the computer). Then I wanted to install my purchased copy of Lion through Appstore, but it said it's no longer available in my country and I couldn't download it again.
Then I decided to buy a copy of Mountain Lion which I tried to install. I managed to do it, and I tried to explore my new operation system.
I tried the iCloud app as well, including the Lock. It locked the computer, and rebooted, but ever since I couldn't unlock it.
When it asks for the password I enter it and it accepts it, but doesn't unlock, only lets me into Recovery mode. Now I reinstalled the whole thing over again and when the Mountain Lion install finishes, it only boots into the Recovery HD without asking.
So if I reboot my computer, no matter what I do it only boots into Recovery Mode.
Please help!!
Mike

I was afraid the Apple Store wasn't going to be an option.
Based on your previous post, I was under the impression you could download Mountain Lion, but when you installed it, it locked up again. Not true?
I don't know how to remove it. You can try contacting Apple support through the link below to see if they can help you get this unlocked.

IPhone 5 going into recovery mode when trying to update iOS 7

My 5 went into recovery mode when trying to update to 7.0.2 OTA. At first I was like ok just a glitch. Well trying to update to 7.0.3, it did it again. So right now I am again in the process of restoring and updating my 5.
What is going on?

because I'm an idiot.. of course.. All my other over the air updates have worked, I had a good wifi connection, knew I had a backup, and was desperate to get past the initial bugs I've been experiencing..
I downloaded iTunes on my work PC, enough to get it going again, which I bascially had to do twice.. iTunes didn't find a backup and said that iCloud didn't have a backup, even though it did.. So, it did a basic install of iOS 7.. I then erased all settings from the iPhone itself and when it restarted I chose to restore from iCloud which the phone was able to find..
Have not seen anything better.. I've had a couple random reboots. Once when swiping the Starbucks notification on the lock screen, the phone immediately crashed back to the apple boot screen.

After downloading the latest update, my playlists now go into shuffle mode everytime I try to play. I have turn6ed off shuffle on both my computer and ipod, and even tried recreating a new list, to no avail. Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

After downloading the latest update for my Ipod touch, my playlists now go into "shuffle" mode everytime I try to play. I have turned off shuffle on both itunes and my ipod and even tried recreating the playlist and syncing with no luck. I don't know what is causing this, because before the last download, it never happened. Any ideas on how to fix?

Since this is an XP machine, which version of iTunes do you have installed? Is it the latest version?
Have you tried starting iTunes, attach the USB end of the cable, then while holding the home button on the iPod connect the 30-pin connector end of the cable to the iPod...that is the recovery mode but also should make iTunes see the iPod.
If that doesn't work you may need to take the iPod back and have it tested by the genius bar techs to make sure the connector is not bad.

MacBook Pro OSX 10.9- Cannot boot into recovery mode or use USB bootdisk

Hi guys,
I'm having an issue with my MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9. I want to re-install the operating system, however the computer freezes when being booted into recovery mode or when rebooting into a USB boot disk. Either the spinner freezes or it moves to a screen with just the Apple logo.
Thanks in advance

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

IPhone 3G goes into Recovery Mode after every restore

Every time I restore my iPhone 3G, it goes into recovery mode right after an error-less restore has been completed. Yes, I've tried using tools such as TinyUmbrella and RecBoot and iRecovery. The device was not jailbroken when I tried to update it to 4.2.1 yesterday. They all reboot the phone and just throw it back into recovery. I have no idea what to do. Searching is futile. I thought I might as well do what I almost never do and ask these communities for support.
I hope they don't disappoint.

I had this problem with my wife's iPad when I updated to 7.0.3 via OTA. It was easily fixed for me, and I assume it should work for everyone else.
It appears that sometimes during installation of the OTA update to 7.0.3, it gets stuck in recovery half way through.
You can connect it to iTunes and restore it, which will wipe it, OR you can download TinyUmbrella and kick it out of recovery. Once you do that, the installer should complete normally (it did for me).
1) Download and install TinyUmbrella for your PC/Mac.
2) Make sure iTunes isn't running and connect your device via USB.
3) Open up TinyUmbrella. Your device should show up on the left. Click on it and then choose "exit recovery".
4) Profit.

Iphone went into recovery mode after trying to update to 5.1

I went to upgrade to 5.1 and my iphone went into recovery mode and will not work unless i restore it, if i do this will i lose everything!?

dfu mode
How to enter iPhone DFU mode
Connect the iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes
Turn the iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone)
Hold down the sleep/power button and home button together for exactly 10 seconds, then release the power button
Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected
When you are in DFU mode your iPhone screen will be completely black
Even though the screen is black, that doesn’t mean the device can’t be interfaced with either iTunes or a custom firmware client (for jailbreaking, etc).
Remember that if you see the restore logo, iTunes logo, or any message on the iPhone screen, you are not in DFU mode but standard Recovery Mode. Again, DFU mode is signified by having a completely black screen on the device. If anything else is the case, repeat the steps above until you enter into DFU mode successfully.
Exit DFU mode on iPhone
The simplest way to exit out of DFU mode is to hold down the Home and sleep/power buttons on the iPhone while connected to iTunes. Then just hit the power button as and this should reboot the device as usual.
And if you’re curious, yes this works all the same on an iPod touch.

OS X Lion 10.8.2 won't boot into recovery mode

Help! OS X Lion 10.8.2 won't boot into recovery mode, I get a grey screen, the apple icon and the spinning symbol...Does anyone have any suggestions?
Have a MacBook Pro (2009) and had no problems until upgrading to LIon from Snow Leopard... thanks!

Hi there - thanks very much for your suggestion, it did reboot eventually but took a long time to get there.
I've have run Disk Utility. After Verifying the disk it said it needed Repairing - so tried doing that and got the message " Error: Utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files" I have got Time Machine but haven't backed-up since Dec 12...Can I use "Restore" to copy the MBP HD to an external HD and then re-install Lion?

How do I boot into recovery mode with wireless keyboard

I am unable to boot into recovery mode using either cmd-R or holding down the alt key. How is it supposed to work?
Message was edited by: Niklas Brunberg (better title)

I understand your concerns - I'm glad both of my machines are dual bootable (just in case) and I have my Snow Leopard install disks..... However, this is what Apple has decided, so we need to find the best way to deal with it. Personally, I've tested the recovery mode several times and, at least on my machine, it was not reliable (i.e. it wouldn't work - I tried it again and it did, but it spent more than an hour downloading the entire 4 GB installer again and then another 30 minutes installing it), and on a third try, I found that it had vanished because I had cloned by drive. When you clone, only your system is cloned, not the extra partition.
So, I've decided to rely on a) my bootable clones and b) a copy of the installer (.dmg) in case my clones fail. I don't feel comfortable relying on something that requires an internet connection and a full download to work. But, that works for me; you may want to take a different approach.
