Ipad mini stuck

My iPad mini with retina is stuck in recovery mode and won't come out of it. I have tried holding the wake/sleep button with the home, but it is still in recovery mode. Every time I plug it into my computer and try to restore the iPad it says after extracting software. The iPad “iPad” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (17). I have my computer up to date. I got my iPad a week ago.

Mac mini, iOS 7.0.4
