Trouble in Recovery Mode

? I'd choose the "Reload firmware" before connect the Creative Micro Photo 8Gb to the PC. Now, when I start the player, it's alway in Recovery Mode, and I cannot change anything from that.
I've get a firmware version "ZenMicroPhotoP4S_PCFW_LB__20_0.exe" for upgrade and set up, but the PC show that the Player is not conect, while I had saw that it connected in Window Explore.
My OS is Window XP SP2, WMP Ver.0
I had try with "ZENMicroPhoto_PCFW_L6__3_0.exe" and "ZenMicroPDE_PCFW_LB___0.exe" but still have that problem, thay not recognize my device.....
What should I do to fix this problem?
Many thanks

Zen Micro firmware will NOT work on a MicroPhoto. Use the current firmware for your player which is in the link I posted. First open the file before you connect the player.While the player is in recovery mode choose format >cleanup.after those have completed then choose reload firmware & connect the player. If the Autoplay window opens ignore it. click update /upgrade & it should complete.Message Edited by coachop94 on 04-03-2009 :05 PM

Trouble with recovery mode.

I have a similar problem to Apom12...
I unplugged my phone in the middle of an update, and it was fine until I plugged it back in. Now, when I push the sleep button, the only thing the phone will do is show a plug with an arrow pointing up to an itunes icon. It wont make/receive calls or show the home screen or anything. When I plugged it into my computer,a message box popped up that said, 'Windows needs to install driver software for your Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)'. Since I didn't have a cd that had the software on it...I looked on the internet for it and could find nothing.
So, the next day I took my phone and my computer to the AT&T store, and since they don't know what they're doing, they had me call the apple helpline. The person I talked to told me to uninstall itunes, and she took me step by step through the process. She told me also that I needed to re-activate my iphone...However, there wasn't internet in the AT&T store, so I had to hang up with her before I could complete the re-installation of itunes.
I just now re-installed itunes, and it works fine, but when I plug my phone into my computer, it still has the same icon with the itunes and the plug. However, the message to install software has changed...it now says, 'Windows needs to install driver software for your Apple Recover (iBoot) USB Driver'
So, I've read several different forums about the recovery mode and how I can get the phone out of it, but pushing the buttons and holding them hasn't helped. The phone is pretty much frozen. I don't know what this (iBoot) business is all about, but apparently, if I plug my phone into a Mac computer then it will be easier to restore it? I don't know anyone with a Mac computer, and it looks like I'll have to drive two hours to get to an Apple store.
Can anyone help me locate the correct software (iBoot) to get my phone working again, or at least give some advice on what I could do next to try and fix my phone?

Hello, Sorry to see your having this issue today.
One bit of advice I would like to offer really quick is. We do not want to disconnect iPhone while it is in the middle of updating. You want to allow it to finish till it says iPhone Activated on the screen and iTunes has stopped informing you of the updated progress. You even want to keep it plugged in when it says iPhone is rebooting.
Now as far as the iBoot software goes. This is typically a special state the iPhone goes into and installed Recovery Mode Drivers. Once the Drivers are installed properly, If you launch iTunes it should say "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and needs to restore" At this point you will press the Restore button in iTunes, And agree to any Prompts and sit back and wait till it is finished.
You may get a screen in iTunes that later pops up saying "Setup as New iPhone or Restore from backup" Choose Restore from backup and again sit back and wait and it will soon restore iPhone to that backup file.
Depending on the machine the entire process could take 10 to 20 min. If you have any concerns about the process as if it is finished or questions about the messages feel free to call 1-800-My-iPhone and they will be happy to assist you with the process.
And yes your more then welcome to restore on another PC or even a Mac.
Let us know how this goes for you. Post back if needed

My iPhone is stuck in recovery mode, I can't restore/update my device. I keep getting error 2001. I've tried basically every trouble shooting step out there. Any suggestions?

I have tried every trouble shooting step there is. restarting my computer amd restarting my device. It died while i was at work and when i went to plug it into my car charger all i saw was the apple logo coming and going. so when i got home i put it in recovery mode and tried to restore and I got Error 2001.

HT4623 I am having trouble with my iPod 5th gen after iOS update. It's in recovery mode and iTunes keeps timing out when I try to restore it. What should I do???

I am having trouble with my iPod 5th gen after iOS update. It's in recovery mode and iTunes keeps timing out when I try to restore it. What should I do??? If possible, I would also like to keep all of my data.

Maybe this will help:
Troubleshooting
As with all clickwheel iPods, you can reset this iPod by first toggling the hold switch on and off and then simultaneously pressing the select (center) and menu buttons for approximately 5-10 seconds. This is a common fix should your iPod behave unexpectedly or lock up. Once reset, the iPod should display an Apple logo for a few seconds before showing the main menu. This procedure is similar to rebooting a computer and damages none of your music or data.

Trouble backing up HDD in Mountain Lion Recovery Mode into external hardrive

My Macbook Pro that's only more than 3 months old is stuck in the grey screen with the apple logo, so I'm stuck in OS X Recovery Mode. While I've tried ressurecting it using safe boot or the fsck command, it's simply not working. I've decided to just reinstall the OS X, but I think there's still something wrong with my HD that's preventing the OS to be reinstalled.
I'm planning on doing an Erase & Reinstall AFTER I back up my HD to one of my two external hardrives. But while on disk utility & using the Restore tab to copy the contents of my HD to my external hardive, it says that it "Could not validate source - error 254". When I tried erasing the contents of my external first, it says "Disk erase failed. POSIX reports: the operation could not be completed. input/output error."
What should I do in order to be able to backup my HD to one of my external hardrives?
WIll erasing/reformatting my HD let me reinstall OS X via Internet Recovery mode?
Please help! I'm really hoping I'd be able to save my files without resorting to spending cash for file recovery programs. And I need to be able to use my laptop again soon.

Since youre not at all familiar with doing that, I wouldnt recommend you doing that.
Make a service call to Apple for diagnostic / repair. Are you under warranty?
Well, your laptop is ONE thing, the HD is another. There are only 4 HD makers on earth, and all the pros work from the premise that their HD is going to crash and fail at anytime, all the time. Even the very best made ones.
Consider these 2 points for the future:
Never consider any computer a data storage device at any time under any circumstance, rather a data creation, sending, and manipulation device. Anyone who thinks data is safe on any computer, even copied upon multiple partitions is making a mistake that will, without fail, strike.
Most importantly know that 2 copies of your data is 1, and 1 is none.
“My computer is OK, therefore so too is my data"
Literally thousands of times, regardless of make or model of computer I have heard “my data I have spent months on is all gone”; or likewise “my computer with priceless data was stolen/in a fire and the backup (singular) was with it and is gone too”. When we fail to plan, we are planning for certain failure in neglecting data redundancy. At the very minimum of $10,000 a month, anyone who has lost ‘months’ worth of data has trusted a very valuable payload, sometimes $100,000+ of work at the end of a very weak chain.
How so very weak? All HD/SSD, even the very highest of quality, are at best considered ephemeral by professionals and a single backup is merely a rope in the case of a ‘fall’, as in the case of drive failure. In addition to a rope your data needs a net and additionally a cushion underneath it all for safety to be considered in place.
None of us would consider working hard for months and then taking the money from that work and placing it on the curb in a paper bag; yet most people never second guess leaving that level of work on our computer drive or a single backup. Separation in place and unassailable redundancies is mandatory. It takes a matter of mere minutes to safeguard priceless data, therefore proper consideration and action needs to be taken.

Hi i am having a big trouble. MY mac wont start past the gray screen. I tried starting on safe boot, single user user mode , recovery mode. Everything it gets stuck on the gray screen i even tried reinstalling it , same thing what should i do?

orshikhfromsc,
boot from the Mac OS X Install DVD that originally came in the box with your MacBook Pro (by holding down the C key as it starts up). When the desktop appears, select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu and erase your internal disk. After it’s been erased, reformat it. After it’s been reformatted, exit Disk Utility and reïnstall the version of Mac OS X from that DVD onto your internal disk. After that version of Mac OS X has been reïnstalled, boot from your internal disk and run Software Update to get it up-to-date within that version; that should allow you to redownload and reïnstall Mavericks, if desired. If Mavericks is reïnstalled, run Software Update again to get it up to date.
If you no longer have the two grey installation DVDs, you can purchase a replacement set from either Apple or iFixit.

Trouble with iPad in recovery mode

I tried (mistakenly) to download iOS 8 to my iPad 2 but it only resulted in crashing my iPad completely. I and am now trying to restore my iPad, but after several attempts, keep getting a message "iPad could not be restored. The device could not be found." iPad seems completely dead. What should I do next?

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

IPod trouble - stuck in recovery mode

Hey everyone!
My iPod Nano 3rd gen. has been working fine all the time now. Altough some days ago it started acting really weird. I connected it to sync with some new stuff on my iTunes, but I had to put it to the recovery mode. Afterwards, I got the "Your iPod is set in the recovery mode. You will have to restore your iPod to be able to sync with iTunes". So I clicked on the "restore" button, and after it "extracted files" it couldn't restore as I keep getting "Your iPod cannot be restored, because it contains files that are in use with annoter application"
Plus the screen changes, from 3rd gen I see the screen from older iPod.
The USB device works fine though.
WHAT'S WRONG?????

Check USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.
Check for hardware issues
Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

My iPhone would just randomly give me a blue screen and then restart--did that a bunch of times between Tuesday and last night. As of last night, it WILL NOT come back on. iTunes says it's in recovery mode....what does all of this mean???

Tuesday night I was texting a friend and when I went to open her message, my screen went blue and restarted. I just wrote it off as weird and went on about my business. Later that night, I tried to turn on my phone and it would not turn on. I plugged it up, held down the power button, and pressed the home button all numerous times. I looked online and it said to do a "hard reset" by holding down the power and home button at the same time--my phone then came on. Throughout Wednesday, it would give me a blue screen and restart--nothing major just really annoying. I took it to the local Verizon store where I bought the phone from and he said that it was some type of hardware defect and I was still under my year warranty so I could get a new one for free--the free phone won't be here until tomorrow, Saturday. I took it home and it didn't give me any trouble for a couple of hours. The next day it was cooperating and then I left town for a little while and it acted up (blue screen and then restarting) a few times. When I got home, it acted up again and so I restarted the phone and it was working fine. A few minutes later, I tried to check my messages and the phone was off again. No matter what I do, my phone will not come back to life. It had at least 45% battery last time I looked at it. I decided to plug the phone up to my computer and see what it did--my computer recognizes that there is a phone hooked to it and it says that it's in "recovery mode". It also said that if I'm having issues with my phone, that I need to reset the phone via iTunes. I guess the questions that arise are
1. Why is my phone doing this?
2. If I reset my phone, will it go back to working again? I ask that because I don't want Verizon to charge me $300 when they send me the replacement phone and I won't need it (assuming that the phone decides to work once it's been reset).
3. What type of hardware defect is this that is causing this issue, not only with my iPhone 5S but others as well?
4. Shouldn't people be notifying Apple and letting them know that they need to fix this issue?
5. Should I report this issue to Apple even though I didn't buy the phone directly from them, but through Verizon?
Any help that anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated! This whole situation has me stressed out and seriously confused.

My ipod touch is not recognized and a "false" recovery mode icon is diplayed on ipod

hello, sorry for the long title its just that i find this problem very specifically tied to me and probably ten other people on this planet... Since i couldnt find an answer on google or youtube....
now im here, newly created an apple account, and i wish to ask other people..... why?
i have received an ipod from a buddy of mine who finds me more computer-knowledgeable than he is.... which is a strech to say, anyways: problem is, ive done EVERYTHING, and not just everything, but EVERYTHING, unistall and re-install of itunes, including the recovery and DFU modes, driver updates, other computers, new cables, and even trouble shooting with every possible/relevant trouble shooter there is.... and it all leads to the same promblem:
Windows 7 says: "device not recognized"
oh, and about the "false" recovery mode, i found this out by carefully watching the ipod start up and i noticed that the top status bar turns on, then quickly off.... and the battery symbol remaines.... i also figured out the real recovery mode and already tried the whole "itunes restoration" routine.... but it doesnt matter because:
Windows 7 says: "device not recognized"
so, afterwards i figured "hey, maybe its got something to do with the drivers?" well, there was my solution, so i went to device manager, and attempted to update said driver manually using the Apple Moble Manager Service drivers... *GASP* DID IT WORK?
Windows 7 says: "Driver Manager says:'error: code 10: device will not start.'"
ah yes... what is code 10? its a code that aplies only to a device that has given an error code that windows does not recognise.... i assume the ipod thinks its already up-to-date.... or maybe its just crying in its digital coma, "just five more minutes, mommy!"
so final question, probably the only question i want answered, if any:
How, If possible, Do I get passed this "code 10" error so i can update my driver, and finaly cure my ipod of this..... coma?

HT201210 my ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode

I just tried to restore my ipod to its factory settings, the process was not completed. Says an error (1) has occured, now my ipod is stuck in recovery mode. What do I do?

Hi drhenrie,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are having troubles restoring your iPod and the steps in the article you came from didn't help. I would continue with this step from the following article:
Check for hardware issues
Related errors: 1, 3, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
These errors mean that your device or computer might have a hardware issue that stops the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't blocking your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Make sure that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

Ipod not recognized in itunes, stuck in recovery mode (tried everything)

I've had my ipod touch for about a year now, and the other day itunes told me I needed to download the new software and such. FYI, I use Vista (unfortunately. Probably not helping with the problem).
I am aware that this is a common problem. I have *tried everything* I can find at the moment, when I plug it into a different laptop nothing happens.
- I download itunes 9 etc and suddenly it says "ERROR OCCURRED" or something, I don't remember the error message too well (sorry).
- This didn't surprise me, I am used to itunes/ipods messing up on me. So I wait a while, and download the new software again. It installs.
*- A screen on my ipod appears with the itunes logo, a usb cable and "itunes".*
- I connect the ipod to the laptop. Nothing happens. Vista pops up saying:
*'Windows needs to install driver software for your Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)*
- Locate and Install driver software (recommended)
- > Ask me again later
- Don't show this message again for this device'
I click the first, it asks me for a disk {which obviously I don't have), when I click 'show me other options' it tells me it couldn't find driver software. Clicking on anything from here results in nothing or failure to find the driver or whatever.
*I've tried everything on this site including* rebooting, reinstalling, completely destroying any trace of itunes and associated programs on my computer (using Windows install cleanup too) and then installing again, manually disabling/enabling/repairing/everything else under the sun to the driver in the driver menu. The same thing happens every time.
So uh, any help? I've backed up everything on my harddrive so I'm open to practically anything. I'm so sick of errors with ipods, I've never had so much trouble with any other gadget ): Maybe I'm just cursed lol.

After hours of searching for a fix I may have found one on a Mac Forum. This worked for mine but I had to restore it from the last back up. I also gave me the option of restore to new condition (out of hte box) but Ichoose from the last backup that itunes made. It took about 4 hours to fully restore all my 24gb of material. BUT,Now it's working perfectly. For how long...who knows?
Here's the link to the page where I found the info. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=447185
Below is the solution that worked for my 2nd gen 32 gig.

the ipod should power up, and if if is screwed up, will be in recovery mode... from there itunes will tell you that it finds your ipod in that mode, and needs to restore it.
just click restore, sit back and it should work again.
did you hack it at all?
if you did not hack it, and that doesnt work, call applecare and see what they say. maybe it is faulty?
still, from my experience with my friends ipod that i made 100% unusable, there is a way to restore even the most broken ipod as long as it has a battery charge.
i suspect a small portion of the memory is dedicated to keeping emergency boot files that allowe you to restore, no matter how bad things get."

Iphone 3gs stuck in recovery mode, will not restore or update error 36

As the title states, I have a 3gs stuck in recovery mode. Sort of worked earlier today, been having trouble with the battery draining fast/not holding charge goes into recovery mode on its own at times. Have been able to force it out of recovery in the past but now it is just showing a USB cable going into an iTunes logo. I can't get it to restore/update and before it got stuck it would not update or restore either. Before you ask, I have no idea what iOS I have, this **** thing didn't start messing up until I plugged it into my computer.

Update: I have uninstalled and re-downloaded iTunes, Tried with a different computer, tried with a different iTunes account. None of these did anything for me. I have no idea what to do next, nearest apple store is more than an hour away.
