Why isn't syncing isn't available in recovery mode?

I am trying to download ios 7 to my iphone 5, but syncing and backing up seems like it is unavailable every time i go into the device tab. I was told to download the latest itunes version 11, so i did. But it doesn't work any more different than the version 10. Right now my phone is in recovery mode and my phone's screen says i need to use my usb and plug it into the computer for itunes. When i open up itunes, it says the phone is up to date but the only button i can press is restore. I need to sync/back up my contacts before i restore my phone but it won't let me! HELP!

Try reading this OS X Daily article. It seems that it is difficult, but not impossible: http://osxdaily.com/2011/01/08/iphone-recovery-mode/
Good luck!

Sounds like your iPhone was hacked to unlock and now updating locks back to the original carrier.
Where did you get the iPhone?

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

HT201210 Why can I not restore my iPad form recovery mode

Why I am I not able to reach the servers to restore my iPad from recovery mode.

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.

Why won't my ipod come out of recovery mode or restore!?!?!

Hey guys, a little earlier on I put my ipod touch 4g into recovery mode to restore it. I had way to much junk on my ipod. So i put it in recovery mode and tried to go onto my computer to restore. I plugged it in and went to iTunes, of course, it said an ipod in recovery mode has been detected... etc. so I pressed restore. It went until it was out of extracting software and then said iPod could not be restored due to error (9) so I decided to take it out of recovery mode and find a different solution. So I pressed the home and power button and so forth and so on. It took me to the apple logo and went back to the iTunes symbol with the USB cable under it. I've tried to restore it again but my computer will not detect it and I've tried it on two computers (running iTunes 11.1) and it doesnt show up. So I try to take it out of recovery mode again but nothing works... I really am in need of help. If you can help me please do thnaks!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hi Barcelona_fan15,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone restore did not complete, I recommend going through the steps in this article first:

So, the upload time will vary on internet connection. If there is an issue with how fast it is uploaded you can check if prefetching is turned on, but this does not really affect uploading [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Controlling_DNS_prefetching Controlling DNS prefetching]
If you search for solutions, you will see a bunch of tweaks as well that may be helpful to your specific computer. [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]] to make sure you are all up to date as well.

Why FIOS isn't available?

I live in Lowell, Massachusetts. I have listened and watched ads on TV about FIOS for nearly 12 years now. Every year I have called up Verizon and asked about getting FIOS and each year I get the same answer, "FIOS isn't available in your area yet." Yet, there are neighboring towns and cities that already have it. I ask, when will it be available and I get the same answer, "go to our web site and fill out the page to get a notice for when it will be available." Almost 12 years now and still nothing. FIOS still isn't available in my area, zip code 01854. Just getting the run around from Verizon again. One reason why I dropped them for my telephone and internet services.
Solved!

This is a peer-to-peer support forum where volunteer users try to help others in the same boat. I'm sure you're already aware that the only thing you can do is maintain contact with Verizon Communications and hope for the best. Frankly I don't think they're in expansion mode just now with respect to capital expenditure for FiOS infrastructure. Recent press reports indicate that the emphasis now is on expanding in the wireless area rather than the "bricks and mortar" business of FiOS networks.
HUMOR ALERT
If nothing else seems to work, perhaps a novel approach is in order. Have you checked with anyone in nearby Salem MA? It's only about 20 miles away, and there used to be a bunch over there with strange powers who could get just about anything done (for a price).
END HUMOR ALERT
Sorry, couldn't resist, and I do indeed wish you success. I waited a long time to escape from my old cable provider, so I know your pain.

Why getting "Run-time error 2046 the command or action 'GoToRecord' isn't available now"

Hello,
I'm running this on Form Load:
Private Sub Form_Load()DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
End Sub
when I'm in the office connected to the LAN, the database opens without any error but when
I'm working remote through a VPN, I get this error:
Run-time error 2046 the command or action 'GoToRecord' isn't available now.
I'm wondering if this is related to a speed issue and more importantly, how to fix it?
Thanks,

Make absolutely sure the query behind the form is updateable and the form allows edits
Use the following code with the forms On Open event:
DoCmd.ShowAllRecords
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
See if that helps. Have no clue why it would work in one environment but not another.

Why isn't clock available in notification center? How did they forget that

If reminders and calendar are available in notification center why isn't clock?

Do you mean alarms? Because the time is displayed at the top of the screen while in the notification center. If you mean alarms, it's probably because they expect people to stop using the alarm feature for anything other than waking them up in the morning, which probably doesn't need to be displayed in the notification center since it must be dismissed or snoozed immediately. Now that Reminders is a feature, it's much easier to use that as you had used the alarm clock before. You can be 'reminded' at a certain date & time without having to use clocks.
Is that what you were talking about or am I off the mark?

Of course it was shown on a UK Channel! Back in 2009! And the really annoying thing is that series 1, 3 and 4 are available so it makes no sense whatsoever!!

Why isn't Logic Pro X content available on flash drive?

Why isn't Logic Pro X content available on flash drive?
Running Logic Pro version 10.1.1
Imac 3.1 GHz Intel Core 7
16 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.9.5

If you ask nicely at an Apple Store... and take your Mac with you.... they will download and install LPX for you..... along with all it's content...
As for why they don't offer it on a flash drive?
Who knows.....
It's Apple.... Its the App Store system... Its all about the Apple ID.. it's where things are leading, away from the physical to the non physical medium... and so on..They do things their way.. whether we like it or not... and if you don't like it?
Then choose a different DAW (or move to a different OS via bootcamp) .. It's no skin off their nose... so to speak... but it will cost you more...(in most cases a lot more) for a boxed / non downloadable edition.. For example... Cubase 8 = $550... Live 9 Suite (Boxed) = $800.... Motu DP = $500.. Bitwig = $300... and so on...
$199 for LPX..and all its content... It's a steal, box or no box...
My only issue is.. it would be good to be able to easily download and store a copy of everything myself.. without having to resort to somewhat tricky methods to do so.. so I could easily install everything on a non internet connected Mac...
