I had a similar issue with my Ipad. I had to take it to Apple, they restored the system but after that my IPad did not sync. It was not until an hour ago I read on another forum someone suggesting disconnecting the Ipad abd turning it off, then connecting it to the PC (usb port) and then turning the Ipad on. Try it it may work for you. I tried apple support 3 times before with no luck! Good luck.

i'm 11 and my ipod4 is in recovery mode because It's disabled I went to itunes and it said ipod in recovery mode found you must restore so i clicked ok went to files devices but it wouldn't let me click back up whats going on?
Because you can't backup a device that is in Recovery mode.
You have to restore the iPod and restore from backup if you have a backup
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

I'm using iPod touch for a year now. It was doing fine this morning but in the afternoon suddenly when I took it out of my bag, the screen was just black and it wouldn't turn on and stuff. So I thought it didn't have battery so I charged it didn't work. I plugged to the computer and it said iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before in can be used with iTunes.
Maybe my bag was little wet today but i don't think that is why.. since it wasn't that bed.. just some paper was wet and stuff..
What should I do..? Please help me.Connect to the Computer you Usually Sync with and Follow the Steps Here...

I tried to update my iPhone 5 this morning with the new software update. Now my phone won't turn on. When I plug into iTunes, it says that my phone is in recovery mode and that it needs to be restored to factory settings. Is there a way to fix this without losing my settings? Why would this happen on a software update?

itunes says i cannot update the phone as it is in recovery mode.
That is not what it says. Read the message again. It's telling you it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and it must be restored.
Restore it. You don't have a choice at this point. -
IPod in recovery mode, iTunes won't recognize
I'm very frustrated. I tried upgrading my iTouch to the 2.0 software, but it sent my iPod into recovery mode. When I plug my iPod into my computer, iTunes won't recognize my iPod at all. If I plug it into another computer it is recognized and I can restore it. I've repeated this about 3 times. What's going on?

ITunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode, constantly comes up
I was listening to my iPod when all of a sudden, when I went to skip to the next song, it just went to the next song, but would not play. I would press the play button, the play arrow would be displayed, yet no playback started. At this point, I did a reset, pressing and holding the menu + select until the apple logo appeared. I then got the sccreen showing the usb cable wiith the mesage "connect to iTunes to restore". I then connected it to computer running the latest version of iTunes. iTunes displayed the message "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes". I click OK to close this window and at the iTunes main screen, select the 'restore' button. The message comes up "are you sure you want to restore...", I then selected Restore. The "Extracting software" message followed by the "restoring ipod" message came up. It then said the iPod was restored and is restarting. On the iPod, the apple logo comes up then the screen flashes white and then the screen showing the usb cable with the mesage "connect to iTunes to restore" reappears. it seems to be stuck in this loop. I changed the drive letter assigned to the iPod but that didn't make a difference. A couple months ago, I had a similiar issue where I got the message about the iPod being corrupted and I restored it and that worked fine and all was fine with the iPod after. Is this a indication of some kind of intermittant hardware problem? Has anyone else had the same issues? Any suggestions as to how to get this to work and what may have gone wrong why all of a sudden I had playback issues in the beginning? I don't know if this is coincidence or not, but I had some videos on it that I recorded earlier in the day. The time I had the corruption problem a couple of months ago, I had some video recorded on it also.
Well, I finally got my iPod formatted and restored. I had problems on my windows XP computer in that I couldn't get the iPod formatted in Windows nor would iTunes get out of the "iPod in recovery mode" loop after numerous restore attempts.
I did the following on my Windows Vista computer and was able to finally get the iPod to work:
I first tried the iPod in iTunes to attempt a restore but got the same "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode" error message.
After exiting iTunes, I did a format of the iPod in Windows as follows: FAT32, cluster size 8 KB, and did a "Quick" format. Format was successful this time. Disconnected the iPod using "safely remove hardware".
Then, restarted iTunes and reconnected the iPod. This time I was able to do a restore, name the iPod and set sync preferences and sync files to the nano. -

Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?

"iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode" restore and doesn't work
I'm trying to put my music on my new iPod and keep getting this error message "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore the iPod before it canb work with iTunes". I click "restor to factory settings" and then the same error message comes up when it's complete. iTunes does recognize my iPod, it just doesn't seem to realize that I've already done what it's telling me to do. Going around and circles and can't get my music on...:( Help, please?
Thanks!

ITunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode loop
Hello,
I have an Ipod 5 and during update of the OS to the latest, the process got an error.
No my Ipod is in recovery mode. Everytime I download the Update (Restore and update) there is this constant pop up that comes up (iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode).
I click ok everytime but then after 5h download there is the Processing file part which when I click ok on the pop that constantly keeps coming after some it, all stops and I need to restart the process again for 5h. Keeps going on like that.
Its really annoying stuck in an update like that which only a minor patch. I can't use my ipod for days now.
Could you please help.
Thanks

'iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode' loop. Help?
On Friday I plugged in my iPod touch (4g) to download the new ios 5 (from 4.3.5), but about when it reached about 4 minutes remaining, the error message 'iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore the iPod before using it with iTunes.' appeared. I've tried restoring it about 10 times now, the closest being just 2 seconds away from finishing.
The iPod has the screen on the usb pointing to the iTunes symbol.
It does NOT show up under computer, or under disk management, so I don't know if i can change the drive letter. If there are alternatives, please let me know!
I've tried using another computer and different users - all of which comes up with the same error, so I'm thinking that it is the iPod that is the issue.
When i attempt to restore it it says it should take around 15 minutes, but usually the error comes up within the last 5 minutes.
The iPod info just says Name: iPod
Capacity: n/a
Software version: n/a
Serial number: n/a
Really don't know what to do, any help is appreciated.Unfortunately not yet. Any thoughts on this are useful...
