You cannot.  If it is in recovery mode, the data is already gone.
Did you fail to make sure everything was on your computer before updating?

  • Downloaded Update to iOS6 via wifi, now it says I have to connect to iTunes. Why?

    I downloaded the update to iOS6 via wifi, now it says I have to connect to iTunes. Why? From all of the articles and blogs I have read it should have updated without a hitch.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    I'm not trying to be a smart A**. Is this a case of "misery loves company"? Will it make you feel better if someone else had issues? Do what you want to do.
    Sometimes things happen when you update software. That is why you are always supposed to backup. Others have had issues - just look around.

    That error message suggest you have a permissions issue. Make sure you have full read/write privileges for the Drive/ Folder location that you are copying the files to.

  • HT201413 HELP!  I was updating my iphone 4S to the new IOS6 via itunes when in the in the middle of the process of actually updating the iphone OS, it suddenly returned an error - "The iPhone could not be updated.  An unknown error occurred (1602)"  PLEAS

    PLEASE HELP!!!
    I am using an HP DV9 laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium and the latest iTunes software.
    I regularly synch my iphone 4S with my laptop & Outlook.
    I recently got the message that an IOS6 upgrade is available & so I scheduled to apply the update.
    Everything was running normally when, after the download of the update, backup of my iphone, & applying the update began when
    suddenly, iTunes returned with an ERROR MESSAGE as follows:
    The iPhone "Ramon's iPhone" could not be updated.  An unknown error occurred (1602)
    Now, my iphone is stuck with the iTunes icon and the USB image with an arrow pointing to the iTunes
    icon.
    WHAT DO I DO NOW?????!!!!!
    Help PLEASE!!!!

    I actually tried the steps below due to the error -5000 I had encountered during the previous tries updating my IOS to 5.1.1
    "Perform a normal sync and check your iTunes to make sure everything was synced in the right places like the tabs at the top of your "summary" when you plug in your iPhone to iTunes.  If everything is there and all the right boxes are checked for the stuff you want to save, then put your phone into recovery mode by keeping it plugged into your computer with iTunes still up and running. Next you want hold down the power button AND the home key button (the big button on the bottom part of your screen) AT THE SAME TIME. Your phone will go thru 4 different screens before you
    Can let them go.  U will see your normal power off slider screen, then a black screen, then a black screen with an apple logo, then finally a screen with the iTunes logo and a picture of a sync cable below it. Once you see this screen LET BOTH BUTTONS GO but not before you see this screen.  Your computer will tell you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode, say ok.  Then hit the restore button on your iTunes summary screen, it should then ask you if you want to restore from a backup and update, say yes.... And at the end of its restoring and uploading you should have iOS 5!!"
    Then it proceeded to a reactivation process... =(

  • My ipod touch is telling me that the skype and twitter apps need updating. When I try to run them they fail. I have tried deleting the apps via itunes but it doesn't work and I have tried updating the apps via itunes and it says they are updated.

    My ipod touch is telling me that the Skype and Twitter apps need updating.  When I try to update them they both fail. I have tried numerous times.  I have tried connecting the ipod to itunes and removing the apps, to reload them but that does not work either.  If I try and update the apps through itunes the system tells me they are updated.  Can anyone assist please?

    - Try a reset. It cures amny ills
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Have you tried deleting them from the iPod and then redownloading them dorectly to the iPod?

  • Can i update to ios6 without itunes

    Have started the update but the laptop I have with me doesnt have iTunes.
    Now my phone seems to want to connect to iTunes?

    If something goes wrong with the process, you will need to re-download all music and any movies or tv shows purchased from the iTunes store and the same for all apps - one by one.

  • IPhone 3Gs no longer operational failed software update 3.1 via iTunes 9

    Hi
    Ok updated iTunes to version 9 on both laptop and PC (no problems there and laptop is my primary syncing computer).
    Updated iTouch (2nd gen) to 3.1.1 first attempt failed, retried and update is succesful.
    Connected iPhone as per normal (had sent and received texts several hours before no problems). Registered that new software available so proceeded to download (all the while iPhone connected). Update proceeded to the "Connect to iTunes" screen on phone, then error showed after a minute on iTunes and update failed (error report sent to Apple). So went to check phone and nothing, blank screen no ability to even turn it on!
    I read others have also failed but at least still have option to restart and reset software/ firmware to previous version. Just wondering if THIS IS A REALLY ISOLATED CASE, or is this a "common" occurrence? Looks to be complete OS deletion.
    Anyway will be getting Apple a bit of a hurry up for a replacement.
    Thanks

    Let me know if others have this dead iPhone experience.

    Well, the answer to that question is "yes". See these messages:
    http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?threadID=&q=dead+iphone&objID=f1333&dat eRange=last90days&userID=&numResults=15
    About half these messages relate to dead pixels and the others dead iPhones.
    The OS 3.1 update seems to have been particularly troublesome (it's the only one which didn't work the first time for me), perhaps due to being right on the heels of installing a major update to iTunes.

  • I'm trying to update FIFA 13 via iTunes, so I clicked "update" and then "sync". It shows a load bar under FIFA, but it hasn't made progress for at least 30 minutes. Ideas/suggestions please!

    It gives me the option to delete FIFA, but I would like to avoid this, in fear of losing my saved compitions and Ultimate Team.

    When I try to snyc my iTouch after updating, it says that there was an error, and I can't update it from my iPod because it already is, but it's stuck or something. Still hasn't made any progress.
