Unable to update iPad 2 software and it's still in recovery mode.

I have been noting some weird behavior on my iPad 2 I so tried to update my iPad to to iOS 6.
Before doing it I tried to sync my apps to iTunes so I would not lose anything. I was unable to sync and a got a message that said "Unable to sync because the sync process faied to start". So to fix that I tried to download and install the iOS 6 update and the update fails due to a "corrupted download file please try again" message. Then I updated iTunes to the latest version and tried all the previous steps again producing the same results. In the process of doing this I somehow I got the iPad into recovery mode and I can't recover to orginal settings because install fails with the "corrupted download file pleas try again" message.
So, hear I sit with a disabled iPad and now apparent way of fixing it.
I am out of ideas on what to try next. Any suggestions what to do?
Also note I did this with my MacBool which is hard wired to my network. No wifi connection was involved.

Are you getting an error of some kind when attemptign a restore? was the restore sucessful (broadcasted a message from itunes that it was complete)?

Installed iOS7 from my iPad 2 and now it is in recovery mode...

So, two days ago, a message popped up on my iPad 2 saying that there is a new system update (iOS7) out, and I should update...I selected continue...downloaded it and then the iPad started installing it...after the installation completed, it turned off. I pushed the power button and the apple logo appeared and then it showed that cable to itunes logo. I plugged in to my computer, opened itunes (latest version) and it sais that my ipad is in recovery mode and that i should restore it. But the thing is that I have some files in my ipad such as pictures that I don't want to lose...
What can I do? Please help...
Thanks in advance,

New 5th generation ipod wont install software and is now stuck in recovery mode

I just received a 32 GB iPod touch 5th generation for Christmas today. I installed the newest version of itunes, backed up my former iPod to the computer and then plugged in the new one to add the software and restore it from the back up. After the 3 hours of installing the software was almost done it said an unknown error ocurred. Now my new iPod is stuck in recovery mode and won't get past restoring the iPod. I have tried to go through it several times now. I really want to get this working, but I don't know what to do anymore.

The problem is that it stops restoring. I go throught the recovery stage to restore it and not even a quarter of the way through it comes up with the message that an unknown error has occured. Every time i connect it to iTunes it tells me that it has detected an iPod in recovery mode.

Ever since i updated my iphone and it ended up in recovery mode, my itunes wont detect any of my devices.. When i plug it in the computer instead of making that two toned noise it makes a weird one toned noise twice as if there's something wrong..

A while back when i was updating my iphone 5 itunes said an error had occured and my iphone ended up in recovery mode.. i brought it to the apple store they fixed it and i lost everything. supposedly the only things that were backed up on my icloud were 22 contacts from my previous iphone.. But i was still greatful i left with a working phone, however when i went home and plugged it in the computer itunes detected that i had a new phone and asked me if i'd like to back up my phone, surely i clicked yes and in a few minutes EVERYTHING came back! now a day later im here trying to connect my ipod and iphone to itunes and it will not detect anything. I uninstalled and reinstalled it back... still itunes is not responding im going on a road trip!! i need new music on my devices!! Someone help pleaasseee!!

hey mill1640,
Did you ever get your iPhone to register with iTunes? I just upgraded as well to Snow Leopard, and my my isn't recognized at all also.
If you did get this resolved, I would appreciate a little suggestion in the right direction.
Many thanks,
Josh

My trackpad mouse is not moving with my touch. The cursor seems to have a mind of it's own. I've updated my software and it's still happening. What do I do?

The mouse on my trackpad is not responding to my touch. The cursor is very jumpy and sometimes doesn't allow move it at all. It seems as if my cursor has a mind of it's own...what should I do?

Sometimes this is caused by a swollen battery.

I have an 1st generation ipad. I am unable to update the software beyond 5.1.1. Why?

I have an 1st generation ipad. I am unable to update the software beyond 5.1.1. Why? It tells me my software is up to date.

Very possible.
You can often get the older version if you buy directly on the iPad
Go through the iTunes Store on your old iPad and purchase netflix, if you can get an older version of the app, iTunes will ask and prompt the download of older version.
Not all apps will be available.
I was able to put iBooks on my older iPod this way.

Are you updating via connecting your iPad to iTunes?

HT1338 I'm unable to update any software on my macbook air and iMac

I'm unable to update any software on my macbook air and iMac getting the following error "to update your software you need to sign in with the account you used to purchase it" any help is appreciated

Please try each of the following steps you haven't already taken, until the issue is resolved. After each step, relaunch the App Store and try again.
1. Follow the instructions in the Apple Support article linked below:
Mac App Store: Cannot update App Store purchases or updates do not seem available
2. If any App Store purchases were made under a different Apple ID, or if the bundled iLife applications were accepted under a different ID, sign in to the App Store with that ID to update.
3. Alternatively, delete the probem applications and re-download them with the ID you're using now. If you haven't already purchased them with that ID, you'll have to do that first, because purchases can't be transferred from one account to another.
4. Select the Purchased tab in the App Store window. If you see an item in the list marked "You have 3 apps to accept," click Accept.
5. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window may open with a file selected. If it does, delete the selected file. You may be prompted for your login password.
Then repeat step 4.
6. Select
Store ▹ View My Account
from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. If you're trying to update any hidden purchases, unhide them.
7. Launch iTunes and select
Store ▹ Authorize This Computer
from the menu bar.
8. If you've moved any App Store apps out of the applications folder, or into a subfolder, put them back. Never move or copy those applications.
9. Contact Account and Billing Support on this page:

I was updating my ipad software and it appears to be frozen?

If you think that update completed and the iPad froze afterward, try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If you see evidence on the screen indicating that the download and install is stuck, like the white progress bar has no moved for quite some time, you will probably need to restore using recovery mode.
You can read about it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes (you will need an up-to-date version of iTunes installed on your computer) and you should be able to reset your iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 - you can then restore/resync your content to it
