Trying to backup iphone 4 now in recovery mode must backup phone what do i don
While trying to back-up iphone 4 itunes started an update...when i went back to check on back-up phone was in recovery mode says it has to be restored to its original setting by clincking Restore. This is a DRS phone & I must be able to back this phone up to synch with his new iphone 5. What can I do ?
If it's in recovery mode, there is nothing left to back up. Anything that was on the phone is already gone.
You have no choice but to restore.

Hi there,
A bit of background: phone was thought stolen and declared to Police as such. Found it later and cancelled theft declaration. In meantime provider had blacklisted IMEI number. After IMEI number was rehabilitated, was instructed by provider to restore Iphone in Itunes to be able to use it again. But normal restore failed and phone got into recovery mode. Keep getting following error message: "Iphone could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build".
Checked all software up-to-date. Tried to troubleshoot with test in Teminal, firewall off, identifying ports... Still getting same error message. Anybody successfully restored Iphone in similar situation? Any help much appreciated, thanks.https://discussions.apple.com/message/18851577#18851577

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. -
I tried updating my iphone 4 to 7.1.1 and it went straight into recovery mode.... I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????
Same situation. I installed iOS 8 beta 4 on my iPhone 5 and a few days later my iCloud account disappeared. My contacts and calendar entries are gone.
My Mac Mini and MacBook do sync as they should with iCloud.
When I try to log in to iCloud on the iPhone (the username shows "[email protected]" and password shows "required"), I put in my username and password and tap "Sign In", It says "Verifying" at the top and after a while checkmarks appear next to my username and password. Then I get an error message saying "An error occurred while trying to save the iCloud account". If I tap OK the message goes away, leaving my username and password intact (checkmarks are now gone). If I tap "Sign In" again I get a message saying " '[email protected]' is Already Added. This iCloud account has already been added to your iPhone". If I go back to Settings and then go into iCloud again it's not set up and appears as I stated at the beginning of this paragraph.
Nothing works and the sync does not occur. Contacts are empty and Calendar has no entries. -
i tried to up date my i phone 4 to iOS 5 then it wiped my phone and now it tells me to connect to iTunes and that the iPhone is in recovery mode and when i connect it goes to preparing to install to iPhone but never goes any further how do i restore the phone
by reset option do you mean the DFU restore? worked for me, have you tried that?
if not - hold the lock and home button until the power down bar comes up. then hold the lock button for ten seconds - next continue to hold the lock button and press the home button for ten seconds - next release the lock button and hold the home button for 10 seconds. this should be done with the phone tethered. If done right and your itunes is configured as such, the phone will reload the drivers and start up itunes, and then prompt for a restore/update. -
Tried to update iPhone 4 to iOS 6 and my phone got stuck in recovery mode. My only option now is to restore my iPhone and lose media. However, I then tried to restore my iPhone and error 1603 occurred. My iPhone is now not working!?!?!
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.

Hi. I forgot my passcode and now I am unable to unlock my ipod. I tried restoring it using itunes in recovery mode as well as dfu mode but it says unable to restore,unknown error occured (3004). Please help me out. My ipod is locked for one hour now.
Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software. -

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.

Hi, i had the same problem. Try to find the file "apple" or "itunes" don't know it anymore exactly. Ahm well you need to delet any information or just plug in your iphone into an other computer. important is that your iphone never has been pluged in this computer before. This was what i did, and it worked!
