Please provide the English text that needs to be translated into Chinese.

Software and hardware issues can affect any iPhone, whether it's old or new. If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch freezes, doesn't respond, or stops working during a software update, recovery mode might help.

Recovery Mode is a last resort, but it's not difficult and it's good to know how to do it. This allows you to reset and reinstall iOS through iTunes. You will lose all data on your iPad when you reinstall iOS, so be sure to back up regularly with iTunes or iCloud. We'll discuss how to put your iPad into Recovery Mode and how to recover lost data.

What is iPad Recovery Mode?

The iPad Recovery Mode screen is a safety feature in iBoot that allows you to reinstall the iPad with a fresh operating system. This may be necessary when the currently loaded system isn't bootable or when updating the device via iTunes.

Recovery Mode is what you need to get your device working again. You might use it if you can't update your iPad's software, you're trying to remove a corrupted beta, or your iPad has just stopped responding to any input. However, reinstalling the operating system can cause you to lose some data.

Here comes the tool, MobiSaver, which can help you easily recover all lost files, messages, contacts, photos, music and videos from your device.

Data Loss Issues with iPad in Recovery Mode

If you need to restore your iPad, keep in mind that Recovery Mode erases all of your data. Using Recovery Mode to update or fix your iPad can result in data loss.

Usually, you can enter and exit Recovery Mode without losing your data. If you experience issues, you can erase and restore your iPad to exit Recovery Mode. We recommend that you back up your iPad before entering Recovery Mode.

Step 1: Update your computer. If you have a Mac, update macOS. On a Windows computer, go to “Help” > “Check for Updates” in iTunes, or download an update from the Microsoft Store.

Step 2: After the update, reopen iTunes. If you're using macOS Catalina or later, open a new Finder window instead of iTunes.

Step 3: Connect your iPad to your computer with the USB cable. If your iPad has a Home button, follow these instructions:

1. Hold down the iPad's Home button and the Top or Side button at the same time. Keep holding both buttons until you see the Recovery Mode screen.

If your iPad doesn't have a Home button, press the Volume Up button, then press the Volume Down button. Hold down the Top button until your iPad enters Recovery Mode.

Note: When your iPad is in Recovery Mode, you see a white iTunes logo on a black background on the screen.
