What to do next if you follow all steps and still can't the iPad out of recovery mode?

I followed all steps by ensuring I downloaded the latest version of iTunes but to no avail, my iPad 2 is still in recovery mode. I refused to give greedy arse  Apple anymore money which I know is their ultimate goal...What to do??? I know there was a tech person on here, Techmadness I think was his/her screen name and he/she mentioned something about "firmware"...Please help somebody, anybody, someone, anyone

I think that you want to try DFU mode whcih is Device Firmware Upgrade.

    Do you see your network in the list "Choose a Network" ?

  • I was in the process of jailbreaking and updating my ipod and when i was updating it,it went into recovery mode and now i cant get it out of recovery mode so what can i do??

    i was in the process of jailbreaking and updating my ipod and when i was updating it,it went into recovery mode and now i cant get it out of recovery mode so what can i do??

    Go elsewhere:
    Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.
    Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

  • How could I get my iPad out of recovery mode without deleting all its data?

    I updated my iPad 2 to iOS 7.1.2 or so while it was plugged into my laptop, which caused it to go into recovery mode. And it didn't back up anything at all. I tried TinyUmbrella and other tools, but it only seemed to restart the iPad and put it back into recovery mode, and I even tried hard-rebooting and it still is in recovery mode. Please help?

    If it's in recovery mode then it's too late to take another backup or copy anything off it, you will need to reset back to factory defaults and then restore to your last backup. If you were updating via your computer's iTunes then it should have taken a backup as part of the update - what's the date of its latest backup in the Devices tab in Preferences on your computer's iTunes ?

  • What do I do after forced restart does nothing. Still can not use Ipad 2

    I have ipad 2 running the latest update on 8.  I was able to briefly turn on ipad last night, and then when I tried to use it , it would not do anything, nothing would open, therefore I forced closed. I have not been able to do a tyhing. I see apple logo and that is it. Will not open, will not go to slide to open and not line under logo showing trying to open etc. just plain white apple logo. I am not tech savvy, disabled older lady and really need help.I do not understand all the tech speech. I would be so grateful to anyone who may be able to help. Thank you for reading and trying to help in community.
    Oh, this may be of importance or not, we were without internet for days due to move and co. not able to come out to put in service until last night , Feb.26,2015. Before then I stayed at a motel that supposedly had wifi, I did connect to them but service was very unstable. Thank you again.

    First make sure that your iPad is fully charged.
    If that's OK try resetting the iPad:
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    If that doesn't help try restoring the iPad to Factory Settings (this will reload the Operating System S/W (iOS)):
    Restore: Connect your iPhone to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
    See here for more instructions on Restore: Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings ...

  • TS4268 I am on friends account and somehow when set up an iPad our messaging became intertwined. If I message someone else he gets it as well and if he messages himself I get it to? Worked on this all day and we can't figure it out . Any ideas?

    I am part of a friends AT&T package for iPhone. 4s and we started having a problem when a message I sent to another friend ended up on his iPad and this other friend messages me and the person whose phone package I am on also got this message. The friend whose phone I am linked to has sent messages to himself that have come to me. Seems like something is mixed up here and it is out of the blue because I have been on his phone plan for years without any mix ups? Any idea as we worked on this all day and can't get it fixed?

  • TS1559 4s iphone grayed out wifi and have taken all steps and still no wifi

    I have turned the phone on and off. Reset the network. Reset the entire phone and still no wifi. When I updated it has never worked properly.
    I have read that many people are having this problem. Why does Apple not have a fix for this.  It is obviously something wrong with the phone.
    If anyone has any suggestions on how to reset the phone to get back Wifi let me know.

    Grayed out WiFi is almost always a hardware failure that requires replacment or repair of the phone.  If you tried everything in the article that led you here without success, take to to Apple or an Apple authorized service provider.
    FYI, do NOT try the "freezer" or "hairdryer" methods you may see posted.  At best, they are only temporarly fixes and are likely to cause more damage.

  • HT4061 how do I get my iPad out of recovery mode, Apple are asking for my serial number can not do as it is locked can not enter at all

    my ipad is locked with the itunes icon & cable on the screen I believe this is recovery mode?? how do I get it to work again

    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • HT2105 For some reason, I do not see my iTunes balance listed anywhere. I've followed all instructions and still nothing. What's up???

    This was not an issue before. Now, all of the sudden, I cannot get my iTunes balance anywhere. My last purchase was actually charged to the credit card on file and it did not default to using my remaining balance. Very frustrating...

    Hello ingishi
    If you have an available balance, it will show up next to your Apple ID when looking at it within iTunes on your computer or iOS device. Check out the first two articles to review and make sure that you have an available balance to spend. If you do and you were billed incorrectly, then report the issue to the iTunes Store by following the steps in the last article.

  • I have followed all suggestions. Still can't fix the problem. After an update, my profile seems to be blocked.

    My Toshiba laptop went through 45 updates, and now when I open Firefox (where ALL my bookmarks live) the program freezes after a few minutes. I get error messages about my profile, and errors about Firefox already running. I tried the suggestions above, but they don't seems to line up with my system. Windows8 is my OS. This query is on another laptop.

    hello rgneb, can you see if those problems continue after you update to firefox 37 beta 6?: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/beta

  • TS3694 Just took my 1st gen iPod out of it's original box, never used before.  Plugged it into my new Mac book Pro and it recognizes that the iPod is in recovery mode but when I click to restore, error 1611 comes up - but that error code doesn't say what

    I had an 8GB 1st gen iPod in it's original box in storage and just took it out to hook it up.  Charged it overnight, plugged it into new Mac Book Pro and it was recognized as being an iPod in recovery but other identifying information was all indicated as "n/a" (so, unknown OS, etc).  Error code 1604 came up so I downloaded iTunes on the Mac Book and it is currently showing version 10.  But now when I try to restore the iPod, error code 1611 comes up and the troubleshooting doesn't tell me what else to try.  The USB connector that came with the iPod was also never used before - brand new also from the box so that should be fine.  I also tried a different USB port on the Mac Book.  Any ideas?

    Error 1611
    This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • With their only being (1) iPhone 4S for all carriers and apple can unlock the device at the point of sale, will Apple be giving out the unlock codes after your term has ended? Or could apple flash the device to be unlocked?

    If you buy the 4S on contract for AT&T, pay the early term fee and want to go to sprint with your 4S, is this possible?

    No. It's not up to Apple. It's up to the carrier it is locked to. Regulations vary from country to country as to whether carriers are required to unlock phones. In the U.S. carriers are NOT legally required to unlock phones, therefore, they will not.
