My phone has gone into recovery mode, but I want to save my pictures before I restore it. What do I do?

I'm trying to do this but when I click on the 'computer' bar, the only things that pop up are "Acer." When I click on it, there is nothing that has anything to do with my iPod. Any suggestions?

you can save your computer or upload onmediafire

That's because it is spam.

Oh you mean, because Apple wants customers to pay extravagant amounts of money to have a problem fixed... Got you...

Unfortunately, no. If it's stuck in a boot-loop, the only real option you have is to restore it. Anything that was on it is pretty much already gone.

No. It won't help you get out of it without losing data. The "forensics data specialist" you spoke to is an idiot. There's no other way to put it.

My phone has been in recovery mode for over a year. I have tried just updating it through Itunes many times with no success. How do I download the firmware other than in Itunes to get it to work?

You don't. Not legally, unless you're a member of the developers program. Maybe if you told us what the error you get when you try to update it, someone could help. We are not psychic.

I tried this and it said The iphone could not be updated. An unknown error occured (3194)

All I want is the pictures off my phone.. 😟

If you didn't back it up and it's in Recovery mode it's too late to get your pictures. They are already gone.

Downloading firmware for your iPhone from anywhere but Apple is not safe. Back up your pictures and restore your phone as new using iTunes.

Oh I will now that the phone's up and running, thank you 🙂 Athough with a little trepidation, as it was a normal iOS update via iTunes that sent it into recovery mode in the first place!

Don't worry, I absolutely agree with you! Wouldn't recommend anyone use this as anything but a last resort. On this occasion though, I didn't have any other option!

Thanks for posting your experience. I usually forget to suggest trying an different USB port.

@Digital311--THANK YOU! Your advice saved my husbands phone content!
