IPhone 4 Recovery Mode, will I lose all my pictures?
My mom just got the Iphone 5 today, and the At&t worker said that her Iphone 4 would be just like an Ipod touch. I was really excited that i would basically have one. So i plugged it into Itunes and it said that it wanted to update it. So i said sure, and clicked update. But then something happened (the wire shorts out alot) and the phone crashed. I plugged it back in and it said that it needs to go into recovery mode, but in order to do that, it will erase all of my data. But my mom said I can't erase anything until she gets all the photos off of it. But the ipod itself is just stuck on a screen that has a white wire and its telling me to connect to Itunes. WHAT DO I DO? IF PICTURES GET ERASED MOM WILL KILL ME. There's over 800 photos.
ANY Help WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED.
Before doing the recovery it should prompt you to back-up these files.
Is there an option to cancel or x out of the message that says recovery mode? If so, do it, and then save to computer, or icloud if youve enough space.
Another option, while it's plugged in are you able to access the files via My Computer? That could be another way to save the files.
I have an iPhone, not an iPod so I'm not familiar with its settings. Hope it works out!
- Iphone will not restore from recovery mode? I tried to restore my iphone via itunes but is now stuck in recovery mode. I press 'Restore' on itunes and it downloads the software (takes about half an hour!) and then nothing happens. There's no error message or anything. I've tried this several times now. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and I've tried turning off my firewall. Nothing has worked so far and my phone is out of action. Any ideas?

- Iphone 5c stuck in recovery mode and Itunes won't recognize the phone, or that its in recovery mode? I tried updating to IOS 8 and it has the connect to itunes screen. Well i plugged it into my computer and opened itunes and got no notifications or anything. I really don't know what to do. I've seen online something about DFU mode… But i don't know what that is, is it jailbreaking? Will it erase my phone? Also. My phone is not backed up so help please.
