if your computer is not recognizing it, try using a different USB port or different usb cable. if that doesnt work you will need to uninstall and reinstall itunes.

i tried updating my iphone 4s to the ios 7 but it said error with the firmware now my phone is stuck in recovery mode and i have no idea how to fix it any suggestions??
Try Restoring it 3 times in a row and see if that works.
If not that error can indicate one of two things: Your iPhone was at one time jailbroken, had the iOS version rolled back, or ran an unauthorized beta and if none of those things are true it is a hardware error. -
I was trying to update sofwatare for my iphone 4s, i got stuck with recovery mode and only option i see is to restore from factory setting. Do i lose all the the datas ? i did't had any backup. What is a solution?
If you didn't back it up, your data is gone. There is no "solution" after the fact.

I just tried to install the latest software update for an iPhone 5, and now the phone is stuck in recovery mode. Are there any options available to avoid going through with the recovery. This seems really lame.
No.
You must restore. -
My iPhone 4 started to update but got stuck in recovery mode. I've tried everything anyone on the website has told me to do, but nothing has worked. When you go to turn it on, it shows the Apple symbol, then it goes to the connect to iTunes screen. When I do that, it just says error with the code 9006. I've followed what the Apple site has said to do for it, but the phone is still is the same state. Is there anything I can do? I need my phone back as soon as possible.
Hello Hester Emily,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing after this update process. I found the following article that has more information on the iTunes error code 9006:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Configure your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, or 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
Take care,
Alex H. -
I tried updating my phone to the iOS 6 software, and my iTunes won't read my phone at all. It keeps saying that "your iphone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored." I restored it for an hour and it didn't work at all. Now my phone is stuck in recovery mode. I'm away at college and I don't know how to fix it. Help!
No, it is my phone that I've had since 2009. I just hate updating it because every time I do something goes wrong. So I put it off as long as possible. I am getting a new iphone, but I read that to have your backup transfer to the new phone, it must be a backup from the current ios.

my iphone 5s got stuck in recovery mode once I updated it to IOS 7.1.2 and everything I do wont help. What should I do?
Hello NoahLovesYou
Try putting your iPhone into recovery mode and try to restore it again. If it gives you an error while it is restoring in iTunes, check the error against the second article for additional help.

I attempted to update to iOS 8 and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings. My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?
Hi, kformagg
I would say yes. I once had the same problem (iPhone 5, IOS 7) and first restored to factory settings and after that from iCloud backup.
It worked very well. -
Can anyone help me with my phone being stuck in recovery mode? I have looked all over the internet and have had no success. I have not tried to restore it with Itunes, because my data is not backed up and I don't want to lose it. Tinyumbrella would not work and the apple support website is completely useless!
Thanks, I figured that out, so I went ahead and restored it, which also didn't work! It gave me an error 3194, which I also can't figure out.

I've been lazy about updating my phone. I plugged it into my computer tonight, the prompt came up and I absentmindedly clicked OK, you get the picture. It claims the update failed and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode. I can't believe I didn't back up my phone before I did this - I just wasn't thinking. Have I lost all my videos and pictures?
They should have been part of the backup. If you have already restored from the backup and they are not present on the phone, then they are gone. If you have not yet attempted to restore, just restore already... you don't have any other choice. Debating whether something will be there or not is pointless. It will, or it won't. discussing it won't change that.
