IPad 1 Can't Update (Unkown Error (1))

I've been trying to update my original iPad WiFi+3G. It will go through the process, installing the firmware, then verifying. I get the message that it can't update the device, with "unknown error (1)." It is presently stuck in restore mode.
Things I have tried:
Downloading the update directly from apple
Rebooting my MacBook
Repairing permissions on MacBook
Differnet USB ports
Differnt cablles
DFU Mode
I have an appointment with the Genius Bar Saturday morning (since they aren't taking any for tomorrow). Is there any other suggestions as to what I might try? What does this error mean?
Have I bricked my iPad? If so, how can that be resolved with Apple?

You can try this round about method. First, download the iOS 5.1 upgrade directly from the Apple servers;
http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS5/041-1536.20120307.XvCtw/iPad1,1_5.1_9B176_Restore .ipsw
Then, use these instructions to apply the upgrade to your iPad;
iOS upgrade direct download
After you have downloaded the update, attach your iPad to your computer, open iTunes and select your iPad in the devices list. Press & hold the Option key on a Mac or the Shift key on a Windows PC and click the Check for Update button. Browse to where you downloaded the update and Choose it. iTunes will handle the rest.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Why my ipad can not update the ios7.1.1

    why my ipad can not update the ios 7.1.1

    Hello there, crivera350.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for if you are unable to update your iOS device:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
    Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
    Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
    Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
    When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
    iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
    Use iTunes to restore your device.
    If you don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Installed successfully, but can't update.  Error "Serial Number is not for qualifying product"

    I installed Adobe Creative Suite Production Premium (CS5) on a new PC (Windows 8.1).  Installation was successful.  I uninstalled it on old PC and de-activated it.  My problem is that I can't Update.  Without Updates, I can't read newer Canon photos (so I can't use Bridge or PhotoShop).  In doing the install the first time, I put in an incorrect Adobe product number (I think from Elements 8.0, which I purchased years ago).  I have re-installed twice using the correct serial number, but same result:  I can't Update the programs and get a "Serial Number is not for qualifying product" error..  Please help.  Dave

    update manually,  http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

  • HT4972 I have the original IPad, can I update the ios?

    We have the first iPad that came out. Can we update the IOS?

    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
    If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...
    See the Using iTunes Section Here...

    FYI... the iPad 1 is not compatible with iOS 6...

  • HT5654 Can't update itunes error 3072

    Error message 3072 when I try to do latest software update itunes 11.0.5

    Hello Selfdeterminant,
    Have you tried the steps as mentioned in this Apple Support kb for the iTunes Error after iTunes 11.1.4 Update : http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5376
    Did you remove all the iTunes and its Components in the Given Order.
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support ( If unable to remove you can ignore it )
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    If you are unable to download iTunes Setup file using the Default browser then have you tried downloading iTunes with a different Web Browser, if not then try that. ( Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome)
    Save the iTunes Installer file in the Location where you can easily find it
    After removing iTunes and its components Restart your Computer once and then Right click the iTunes Setup.exe file and run the Program as Administrator
    If you are using the 64 Bit version of Windows on your computer then it is Good to change the Install Location from " C:\Program Files(x86)\iTunes " To " C:\Program Files\iTunes " while installing iTunes when it asks for the Location.

  • Can't update apps (Error: 80320011)

    Hi, one week ago I got an update for Nokia Music and Oreo skies. However, when trying to update them I get the error message 80320011. Since then, I received several other updates, and all (except these two) worked. I found out that this error code is related to the fact that these apps are currently not avaiable in the store (which I checked and is true). I am from Hungary, and I know that store is regionally very different. Do you think this is the reason?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi NorbsLumia,
    Error code means that the item is missing from the Store.  As a workaround change Country/Region settings as United States, then update apps. After that you can switch back to your original country settings.
    Hope this information helps.
    Cheers,

  • HT201210 Tried updating to ios6, "couldnt be updated, unkown error (6)... now phone must be restored in order to connect to iTunes... now Phone will NOT turn on. ? ..... Is it REQUIRED to "restore" to factory setting?

    Phone will NOT turn on after synching & updating (or trying) to ios 6. ? ..... Is it REQUIRED to "restore" to factory setting? When researching, I read that you will get an option to restore from back up.  I am not receiving any options on iTunes.... restore only & basically it is telling me I will lose everything.

    I am reading on this site about the error I am getting and it wants me to change some files that I am not comfortable messing with. Mainly because it is like a foreign language. Will the store do this for me or tell me if it is neccessary?

    Try another cable or USB port. If you're using a USB port on a hub, disconnect and plug in directly to the computer. Use a port in the back rather than the front. Post back if you still have problems.

  • I can't update Genius - Error (4002)

    Every time I try to update the Genius feature, I get an error

    Any suggestions about how to fix this?

    If you're having issues updating Genius - turn it off first, then do what I suggested above (removing cookies for apple.com domain), then turn it back on.
    If you're having issues turning it on - that must be a different issue, then

  • HT4972 Can I update my iPad to iOS5

    Can I update my iPad to IOS5?

    Any iPad can be updated to iOS 5. You need to use a computer and iTunes - the latest version of iTunes is advised.
    What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
    However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings - along with other items - so make sure you backup first.
    If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.
    Transfer purchases.
