My iPhone was accidentally unplugged during a restore and now it is stuck in recovery mode. Every time I plug it into my computer iTunes crashes instantly. Without the phone plugged in iTunes works fine.Â
After several attempts I reinstalled OSX starting down with Lion, then upgraded to Mavericks, then to Yosemite beta and they all have the same problem. The iPhone is the only thing plugged into the computer besides the power cord. I've done many Home + Power button resets. Tried different cables. Tried using guest account instead.Â
my iphone 3gs was previously 3.1.2 firmware and i used my brother laptop that already had blackra1n installed so i used it and it looked fine then it just got bricked? it just doesnt turn on and when i plug it in computer it just says its in recovery mode and needs to be recovered.
so i thought i would just recover it to 3.1.3 but i wanted to avoid that step and go straight to 3.1.2 so that i can instantly jailbreak it correctly this time. i search around Internet and find a download for 3.1.2 firmware and i follow the steps and im supposed to do shift+and click restore on itunes and browse the download all looks swell until when it says preparing for recovery and it just comes with the (1600) error code.
My Iphone recently shut off while I was using it. I turned it back on and went to my iMessages and then it immediately shut off again. After this happened I tried to do a hard reset on it, but nothing would pop up. My iphone is completely dead without being connected to a charger. When I plug it into a charger it pops up the plug into itunes logo. I plug it into iTunes and attempt to restore it and instead I receive a message saying "error code 21".....
"iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used in iTunes" It restores the phone to factory settings and after I do the restore I connect my phone back to iTunes to try and restore my phone to the back up I made just before I did the 4.1 update but then iTunes gives me the same error message as above so I have to restore my phone to factory settings again which I've had to do 3 times now. Then it says “The iPhone “iPhone” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9)” Then the phone displays the connect to itunes logo again and wants me to do the whole restore to factory settings procedure again.
I just updated my carrier settings, and iPhone 4S from 5.1 to 5.1.1, and while it was updating, it said, restore error or something, put my iPhone 4S into recovery mode, and now even after a computer reboot and iPhone reboot, it won't show up in iTunes. I can't simply bring it into Apple or use their express lane as there is no Apple Store near me, and the Express Lane will not work for me for some strange reason so i need someone who knows what to do instead of referring me to someone who does. I have read all the guides that say that iTunes should show this message when you connect it in recovery mode(it doesn't even detect it):
I bought and Iphone 3g from someone else, however it was in recovery mode when trying to turn it on.I tried to restore it with Itunes, but it says it can't contact the update server.I downloaded the latest firmware for it (4.2.1) and tried restoring it with itunes again, however the same problem happens when trying to inform Apple about the update or restore, and it says it can't contact the update server.
My phone is in recovery mode.I think my husband detached it from the USB when it was near the end of a big sync to answer a call. It was the first time I had plugged the phone into my PC to add all my music. I had the phone replaced at an Istore when I needed a new screen a few weeks ago. I had named the phone etc at the beginning of the sync, but when I plug it in Itunes is just calling it 'Iphone' and saying I need to reset factory settings and will lose all my data. Can I call up the 'devices list' on Itunes to see if it has my backup there? I have my contact list off Icloud as my husband was using my icloud and I didn't want to merge phone lists.
I forgot my password to my iPhone 5 and my friend told me to get on iTunes and reset it and put it in recovery mode when I did it didn't load / erase anything
When i connect my nokia 5630 to my computer via usb, my pc detects it but before i can begin to install it, my pc crashes. Also, sometimes my pc doesn't crash ( i dont know why) but even then when i connect the mobile to the pc via usb, my pc continusly tries to install it as new hardware instead of detecting it in Pc Suite, and even then it never detects or installs it...
Last night my iPhone randomly went into recovery mode on me. Just before I went to sleep a bunch of static lines appeared across the screen. The screen went dark and a few seconds later the Apple logo appeared. A few seconds later is disappeared. A few seconds later it came back. So on and so forth. I thought I had turned it off and was going to deal with it in the morning, but when I woke up the iPhone still just had the Apple logo going on and off again.Â
I've tried everything today. All the different button hold methods out there. I've tried to sync it to iTunes but the same **** keeps happening over and over again.Â
A message pops up saying "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." So I press OK. Then I press the "Restore iPhone..." button on iTunes. It asks me if I'm sure I want to "restore it to the factory settings" and I click "Restore and Update". It then says that its "extracting software", "preparing the iphone to restore", "waiting for the iphone", then "verifying iphone restore with Apple". As this is going on the "connect to iTunes" sign is shown on the screen of the iPhone. When the "waiting for the iPhone" part starts, my screen goes black, then the apple logo pops up. The "verifying iphone restore with apple" comes on the iTunes and the status bar appears underneath the Apple logo on my phone's screen. It sits there for a couple of seconds with no progress and then the screen goes black. Then iTunes has the same **** message saying "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be resotred. An unknown error occured (9)."Â
I've gone through this process countless times in the past few hours and have done everything that apple support has told me. The windows system is fully updated. So is the iTunes. I've restarted the computer..Â
A couple of notes about the phone:
It's over a year old. It's never had water damage. It was nearing the max capacity of its internal storage. This has never happened before. I keep it in an Otter Box. I had very little problems with the phone. Lately a couple of apps like snapchat and the barstool sports app were taking a little longer to open up or would randomly close out and sometimes my camera would take a while to get going. But this problem is just ridiculous and completely rendered the phone useless.
after clicking the update, it says that I have to connect to iTunes. After connecting the iTunes, the iTunes doesn't not recognize the phone and I have to restore my phone. However, after clicking 'restore iphone' and the connection to software is stalled and now still have problems with connection. Fyi, I have checked the wifi and internet connection, all seems OK and good. it almost 4 hours now, I cant use my phone to make phone calls or checking emails.Â
i updated my iphone 4 to ios 7 but then it keep turning on and off at the apple logo. My friend said that it is stuck on DFU mode and i have to connect it to itunes but now the problem is my phone cant connect to itunes
my iphone 4 is stuck in recovery mode i cnt turn it on all it keeps saying is connect 2 itunes what happens if restoring it doesnt work what r my next options?
Yesterday I bought a brand new 5S. After configuring and charging it, I plugged it into my PC, which runs on Windows 8, and saw that there was an iOS 7.1.2 software update. I started the update but just when it was about to end, the loading bar changed to 'Waiting for iPhone' and my phone had the 'connect to iTunes' screen pop up. After about 10 minutes, I unplugged and replugged the phone, but iTunes had failed to recognize it and it was now stuck in recovery mode. I've already seen all the articles about this problem and none of them have worked; I've tried reinstalling iTunes, tested the USB (which worked on my sister's phone) performed a hard-reboot and put my phone into DFU mode but to no avail. It's been 13 hours of searching the web - is there anything I can do?
iphone 4 won't turn on. I press top button and still nothing. I plug it in and there is a pic of plug and itunes logo. I hook it to my computer and itunes comes up and says it has detected a iphone in recovery mode. It asked if I want to restore so I hit restore button and it starts extracting. When done extracting, a messages comes up and says this iphone can not be restored error 1656. What can I do now? I bought this phone new in October. It has not been damaged in anyway. It started one morning after charging all night.
My iPhone 5 is suddenly stuck in recovery mode. It won't turn on, the connect to iTunes logo just shows up. I really don't want to restore it because I have 300+ pictures from vacation that have not yet been synced to my photo stream. I guess my question is is there anyway that I can kick my phone out of recovery mode long enough to get those photos in my stream without restoring it? I know there are programs on the Internet that claim to do this but I doubt they work.
Well I have a 9900 Bold. Suddenly without updating anything i plugged it in my computer to charge it and as soon as i connect the connector the phone shuts down with the red light flashing. I reopen the phone to charge it into the wall... Same thing as soon as the connecter enters, phone crash. So I have no way to charge it. I thought it was a battery default so I bought a new battery. Same thing happen, In anything i try to connect the phone it crashes. I wanted to reset the OS but how can i do it if i cant plug the phone.
I tried to upgrade the iphone to ios 5.1.1 when the download was complete, phone went to recovery mode and the upgrade process failed, the phone never came back to normal mode.
When i tried to update my phone a message popped up saying it had failed. now my iphones screen just tells me to plug into itunes. i tried resetting and that didnt even work. itunes wont recognize my iphone either
My iphone4s will not let me go any further than it saying to plug into itunes....i dont even care about using itunes!! I restored it to its original settings and it still tells me to plug into itunes when i plug it in it tells me that i cant do anything pretty much
It did this after I tried updating my phone. I have tried different USB cables. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. I have did the software interference thing.
So I have the Iphone 4 with the new IOS 5.1. Ever since I downloaded the operating system to my phone, Itunes crashes when I plug my phone into my computer. the itunes app on my phone works fine, but is frustrating because I have many movies and music stored on my computer that I cannot get to because of this freezing issue. Before I had updated to the most recent IOS it worked just fine. you would think that apple would have fixed this issue by now because I am not the only one with this problem.
yesterday all of a sudden the home button stopped working then the battery dropped immediately and started saying no service in the top left corner, now it's plugged into the charger and is telling me to plug it into itunes and when i do it says that the iphone is in recovery mode and is not recognized. My phone wont even turn on now!
