Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"

Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"
I have tried to restore my contacts and company data at least 20 times and every time half way through THE iPAD REBOOTS! When it boots back up it is at the brand new iPad screen.
This makes me angry as I do not use the iPad for fun and games. I use it for business. My company data and records for the last year are gone. ALL of my out standing customer invoices are gone. ALL payments received are gone! ALL Business contacts and emails ARE GONE! All my company, personal email accounts and settings ARE GONE!
What am I supposed to do now? In 6 hours I have to get on the road and conduct business with a empty blank factory out of the box iPad. How am I supposed to know who owes me money or who has paid their bills Apple? All of my meetings and calendar dates are GONE!
Everything was supposed to be backed up and restored after the update!
Question???WHY DID YOU MAKE THIS UPDATE WIPE OUT ALL SETTINGS AND APPS ON THE iPAD??? All the other updates left everything on the iPad intact and ONLY upgraded the IOS,and when it was done everything was still there.
Yes! I have done everything. Rebooted computer, checked for updates, Hard booted iPad, Factory restored iPad to ios 5 twice, tried every usb port I have, unplugged all other usb components.
Everytime half way through "Restoring iPad from backup..." The iPad turns off shows a spinning circle then shows the Apple logo and takes me to the brand new iPad setup screen.
Apple, you have no idea the level of stress you have created today.....

Check the console app to see if there are any error messages. I had one app showing an issue (Pet Hotel) the error was (truncated):
ERROR: Restore message response: 102 rename error: File name too long (63) at path "/var/mobile/Library/SafeHarbor/com.pocketgems.tappethotel/Container/Documents/ savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHis tory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGa meHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/sa vedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHisto ry/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGame History/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/save dGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory /savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHi story/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedG ameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/s avedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHist ory/savedGameHistory/1313349538-pocket_gems_crash_report.txt" (MBErrorDomain/102)
I manually snyc'ed that particular app and then re-ran the restore and am now the proud owner of a working iphone. Not sure it is the same problem or app but looking in the console was the key!

  • I get an error message saying, "An error occurred while restoring the disk to a single partition." when I try to use Boot Camp Assistant to remove my Windows partition. Help?!

    I'm trying to remove my Windows partition and delete Boot Camp altogether off my laptop. When I try to remove the partition, I get an error saying "An error occurred while restoring the disk to a single partition."
    Can someone please help?

    Boot from another hard drive or DVD and repair with Disk Utility.

    i don't know how to do

    There is a forum for Boot Camp. This is not the forum for the notebook users.
    You should always always have backup that you can use to restore your system incase of a problem.
    Try booting into Lion Recoverey or from your OS X DVD and choose Disk Utility from Utility menu and repair the disk; try to remove with DU instead of BCA.

  • When sending email via hotmail on both iPhone and iPad, I receive message an error occurred while delivering this message

    WHy all of a sudden, today, I can no longer send emails (via hotmail) from both iPhone 5s and ipad 2? I receive message that says "an error occurred while delivering this message".  I have no problem sending emails from PC.

    *** solved ***
    You have to add another SMTP server as following steps:
    Just go to hotmail acount setting
    Then click on SMTP in outgoing mail server
    Then click add server
    Host name: smtp-mail.outlook.com
    User name: your email
    Password: your password
    So now you can send mail

  • IOS 5 seems to work, but when I connect the ipad to my macbook, i get the message that itunes was interrupted when restoring. I try to restore again and I get the message "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-50)." What should I do?

    iOS 5 seems to work on my ipad, but apparently something went wrong when restoring. I lost music and movies, and when I connect the ipad to my macbook, I get the message that itunes was interrupted when restoring. I try to restore again and I get the message "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-50)." What happened and what should I do?

    I have had the same issue since day 1 of the ios5 installation.  I always hit "Cancel" and then the iPad eventually shows up again in iTunes.  Then a few hours later, I get the same message again.  Annoying, but I've not found a way around it.

    Thank you in advance.

    are you trying to restore defaults through itunes?
    try rebooting the device and try it again.  this usually works.  memory is required for it to restore.

  • Cannot update and download ios 5 to iphone 4 or ipad...everytime i try i get half way through a 2 hour download for it to say "network connection timed out" what do i do to download

    cannot update and download ios 5 to iphone 4 or ipad...everytime i try i get half way through a 2 hour download for it to say "network connection timed out" what do i do to download

    When you get anything that says your network connection timed out it either means you lost internet connection or there is something blocking the connection between the computer and the servers that it is trying to connect to.
    If you have a solid internet connection and can browse to websites fine it's either an anti-virus program or a firewall on the computer OR a firewall in the router's settings that you use to connect to the internet.
    Reconfigure any security software to allow Apple's servers to pass.
    Useful information for configuring your security software:
    IMPORTANT: iTunes must be allowed to contact Apple using the following ports and servers:
              ▪          port 80
              ▪          port 443
              ▪          phobos.apple.com, deimos3.apple.com, albert.apple.com, gs.apple.com, itunes.apple.com, ax.itunes.apple.com, ax.init.itunes.apple.com, ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
    iTunes uses well known ports and these ports may need to be opened for iTunes: 80, 443, 3689, 5297, 5298, 5353, 8000-8999, and 42000-42999.
    iTunes also contacts VeriSign servers during an iPhone restore and activation:
              ▪          evintl-ocsp.verisign.com
              ▪          evsecure-ocsp.verisign.com
    For more information see Update and restore alert messages on iPhone and iPod touch
    Temporarily disable or uninstall your security software
    If the current available version of your security software is incompatible with iTunes, you can disable the security software and test if it is the source of the issue. It might also be necessary to temporarily uninstall security software after making sure you can reinstall it and note any required licenses. A temporary deinstallation might be required because parts of some security software remain active in the background though they appear to be deactivated.
    To reduce any security risks that security software is designed to prevent, consider making sure all files needed to reinstall it are available and disconnect network connections before uninstalling security software. Should this not be possible, such as if a download without active security software is required, that required step should be the only process completed without security software. For assistance in checking your configuration, disabling, or uninstalling your security software, please contact the manufacturer.
    Once disabled or uninstalled, perform only the steps required to verify your issue has been resolved. Complete whatever update, restore, syncing, back up, activation, or other task you were troubleshooting. Once that task is complete, install and configure compatible security software to ensure your PC is protected.
    If it isn't a program or software on the computer contact your Internet Service Provider and/or Router Company to configure or disable the firewall in the router settings.
    To isolate the issue to this you can also try disconnecting the router and plugging your computer directly in to the modem but this does not help for troubleshooting time-out issues directly on any apple mobile devices only if you are syncing or going through iTunes on the computer.

    i have a problem when ı want to update and restore my ipad for ios5 : an error occurred while restoring this ipad (-10), what can i do??

    Error -1 is not mentioned in this article about error messages during a restore process: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    This one comes close:
    The device could not be restored. An internal error occurred, or Error 3200: This indicates a network-connectivity or traffic issue. If you see this error, wait an hour or more and try again.
    You may also check your security software settings, to make sure that iTunes can contact Apple servers during this process: iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues

  • An error occurred while loading this content - only with iPhone not iPad

    I know this issue has been discussed to death with no real solution in sight but my case is slightly different:
    1.  On my new iPad, I select AppleTV (not mirroring), open Safari, then to YouTube and play any HD video. Immediately, the video will be streamed to the AppleTV with no hassle.
    2.  I do the same on my iPhone 4, 4S or 5 and all I get is "An error occurred while loading this content. Try again later". This occurs without fail.
    If I use Jasmine YouTube client, streaming will work perfectly but alas, this app is prone to the error message "Youtube has restricted feeds for this video" and thus, I can't use this.
    If I use the new google youTube app, only the audio gets streamed to the AppleTV. I have to use mirroring and the video does not fill the TV screen but leaving a dark border all round. The streaming is not smooth either. The previous youTube app by Apple works perfectly - never had an issue. As soon as iOS6 came along, I end up with all these problems.
    Is there a solution to all this? Currently, I use only my iPad for streaming YouTube videos but I really want to use my spanking new iPhone 5 but can't.
    I am so sad.
    Can anyone help or am I doomed to use only my iPad for this? I am soooo disappointed with the iPhone 5 due to this.

    Has any other fixes been found.  Since I updated to the latest iOS I've been having a similar problem.  It doesn't matter what I stream through either.  I bought I ATV2 when they first came out and have been using it perfectly fine, however after the last update I haven't been able to stream my movies, tv or even Netflix. 
    I've also been having issues with my ATV2 connecting to my windows 7 desktop where I store all of my movies and TV shows.  I have to deauthorize home sharing and turn it back on for my ATV2 to recognize that it is even on.  Frustrating to say the least.

    I had a jailbroken ipod touch 4th generation, 8 Gigabyte model with about 150mb left of free storage. I tried checking for an update on my ipod touch using the OTA A LOT OF TIMES but it said, "an error occured while checking for a software update."

  • IOS5 Update - An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)

    Hi,
    I'm trying to upgrade my iPhones and iPad. My iPhone 4 update went well, but I can't get my iPad to restore afer upgrade.  I keep getting the iTunes message "An error occoured while restoring this iPad (-1)". This happens after the restore is about half done. I did retry a few times, but without success.
    After confirming the first error iTunes shows "iTunes was interruped while restoring the content of the iPad "...". Would you like to restore this iPad again now?" and is offering to restart or to delete the backup.
    The iPad still boots up and does not seem bricked, but I fear all apps and other data is gone. However, I did do a successful "transfer all purchases" just before the iOS update and i have backups of my musik and pictures.
    Does anyone know whats going on and how to resolve this without late surprises?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Gerhard

    I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!
    But my iPad is completely bricked. I had previously updated my iPhone 4.
    I went to the Apple Store last night and they informed me that the firmware in the update might have affected the hardware. Being that my warranty had run out 100 days ago they couldn't help me. I couldn't believe they were telling me this. Naturally if I had known the update would have destroyed my iPad, I wouldn't have installed it.
    I think they are handling this update on older iPads awfully.

  • Trying to update software on my iphone 4.  It stops and says "An error occurred while backing up this iphone.  Would you like to continue?  -43  Continuing will result in loss of content.  What should I do?

    Trying to update the software on my iphone 4.  It stops and says, "An error occurred while backing up this iphone.  -43.  Would you like to continue?  Continuing will result in the loss of content..."   What should I do?

    The first thing you need to do is (in the left side of iTunes, under devices) right click on your phone, and do a manual back up. As long as that works, this should work for you. After you back it up, go to your phone in iTunes, and do a "Restore". Click the option to restore and update. When it is done with the update, it will ask you if you want to set your phone up as a new phone, or restore from the last back up. Restore it, and after another restart, and a sync, you will have your updated phone without loosing your information.

  • HT4972 my ipad says an error occurred while checking for software updates

    my ipad says an error occurred while checking for software updates
    my ipad while trying to install updates has stalled it says installing but it is unable to download content??

    Try rebooting your iPad and then see if you have any success updating.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
