Tried to update, now in recovery mode don't want to lose photos

Tried to update ipod touch through settings... went back to check and ipod has an apple with a usb cord, connected to pc and
message says in recovery mode... I know from past experience, all the photos will be gone if I continue to restore from recovery
mode.   Does anyone know how I can save my photos??    The  same thing happened with my other daughter's ipod --- this is
so frustrating -- what's the point of updates -- to fix bugs   NO to mess up the ipods!!!!!!!!!    Try telling your 8 and 10 year old,
all your pictures are lost now.    It's not a very pleasant reaction.   AND I can't blame them.  So I won't be updating my other 3
daughter's ipods.... no more updates in this household!!!!!!

- If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Maybe via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

  • Tried to update, now in Recovery Mode?

    this morning I tried to update my iPod Touch 4th generation to whatever the newest software is available (I didn't check...). It said I should back up my data before updating, which I did. The update didn't work, and my iPod is now in recovery mode. And only the first purchases I made (which were back in December) are in my 'purchased' list. The rest of them don't show up. Only 14 songs are showing up. I'm not positive how many songs I bought, but I know for a fact it was more than 14, as well as 2 videos. The only way I can get out of recovery mode is to restore, and, as you can possibly imagine, I don't want to because I'll lose all of my songs and videos! Is there any way I could recover my songs and videos before restoring, or am I out of luck? Also, will I be able to get my apps back? If I do, would they still have my information, or would that be deleted as well?

    This happened to me. First my iPod got stuck in recovery mode, but now it broke. It won't turn on and it isn't getting detected in iTunes. I have to bring it too an Apple store in a few days and see what they will do. I hope yours doesn't brake like mine did.

    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    Looks like a hardware failure. Appointment at the Genius bar for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • My phone froze in connect to itunes mode don't want to lose my data especially photos of my niece, my phone froze in connect to itunes mode don't want to lose my data especially photos of my niece

    Ok so i'm not very techi....phone connected to itunes to sync so I can transfer photos, request for upgrade i think it's 7.2.  Phone goes into connect to itunes mode and wont shift.  I have no idea if backed up to icloud and really don't want to lose photos

    if you are seeing the image of connect to itunes then all data on your phone is gone.
    you will need to do this to get the phone working again.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    if you backup on a regular basis, then you can use that backup after the phone is done restoring.

  • Stuck in recovery mode, don't want to restore!

    While updating my iphone4s it stopped and is now frozen in recovery mode. I don't want to restore because i have some important stuff on my iphone and i havent backed it up in a while. How can i get out of recovery mode without restoring it? please help!!!

    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...

  • Iphone 4 is stuck in recovery and i dont want to lose photos

    my iphone is stuck in recovery and I dont want to do the restore on itunes. I dont want to lose my photos. What can I do.

    You will need to restore your phone, just do the restore from your backup in itunes, assuming you have backed up your phone recently, and had your photos synced.

  • IPhoto damaged or incomplete-Don't want to lose photos

    My I mac is about 4 months old. Yesterday I installed iWork 09, no problem. Today there were updates for my i work, so I downloaded and updated my iWork. After that my iPhoto is damaged or incomplete. I cannot access my photos due to iPhoto's malfunction.
    I am afraid I will lose my photos. If I reinstall iphoto will I lose my photo's?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You probably have a damaged iPhoto library but your image files are safe. Did you repair disk permissions after installing iWork and it's updates? If not do so, reboot and try iPhoto again.
    Next, backup the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in the User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1 and #6.

  • If I upgrade to Lion will I use my files and work in ilife?  I don't want to lose photos, etc.

    I would like to upgrade to Lion, mostly to gain access to icloud, but I am concerned that I would lose functionality with ilife.  Our imac is a 2009.

    You have the full suite of iLife installed? Which version? If it is an old version, it may or may not be compatible with Lion; however, you could easily buy the latest retail version (iLife 11) at the Apple store, online resellers, or ebay. I did that just so I would be able to re-install iDVD if necessary.
    In any case, if you want to upgrade, make sure you have a full backup on an external hard drive (just in case) - either Time Machine or a bootable clone copy. That way, if anything does go wrong, you can simply restore to your earlier version. And, if you go ahead, make sure that you copy the Lion installer to a safe place after the download and before the install (the installer disappears after the install) - if you have a copy, you won't have to download it again should that become necessary.

  • Don't know passcode to iPod but don't want to lose everything!?

    I just found my iPod and I cannot remember the passcode for the life of me. I tried twice & the second time it disabled for a minute, then a minute later after just one try it disabled for 5 minutes. I was just going to back it up & then restore it like last time this happened but this time it says that I need to unlock the iPod first. Unfortunately that's why I was trying to do that :-) I really really don't want to lose everything but don't know what to do. I just spent the past hour trying to figure it out, but no luck. Please please please help! Thank you so much!!

    You don't have that choice, I'm afraid.

  • I was trying to sync my iPhone 3GS and it is now stuck, saying I'm in recovery mode.  I am thoroughly confused now after researching online.  I'm scared to restore to original settings as I don't want to lose everything, apps, contacts, etc. Help!

    I was trying to sync my iPhone 3GS and it is now stuck, saying I'm in recovery mode.  I am thoroughly confused now after researching online.  I'm scared to restore to original settings as I don't want to lose everything, apps, contacts, etc. Help!  Is there a way to get it all back if I do restore?? Can I my stuff back through iCloud??

    Bad news first and we hope for good news as well
    The device is in Recovery Mode and the data has already been deleted, you need to restore the device with iTunes in order to get the iPhone back into a working state
    When the iPhone is restored you can then restore it from your latest backup using iTunes or iCloud and regain some, if not all, of your data.
    The good news part only happens if you had a backup.

  • Help, I tried to do the new 8.1 update and it says I'm now in recovery mode.

    Ever since I did the latest update the 8.02 or whatever every app keeps freezing so I decided to do the 8.1 today. I tried that and it put my phone into recovery mode. I said to plug into Itunes, I did and it's saying that I should do a factory restore. I don't want to lose all my media:( . I always back up my photos and was about to do this with this weekends photos but my apps were freezing again.....Any way around this so I don't lose my photos?????Help

    Do you not have an iCloud or iTunes backup of your device?
    You should always update any device (phone, computer, etc...) before updating.
    It is never a good idea to keep the only copy of your photos/videos on your mobile device.
    You should be transferring them to your computer then backing them up.
    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC

    Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time.

  • I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.
