Bought brand new ipad 2, upgrading firmware and error 3194

I just got a brand new ipad 2 32gb wifi only. I want to upgrade firmware and i get error 3194. I tried changing host file and other things like that. I am really sick of this problem please help me if you can.
Im currently on 4.3.5 and want to go to 5.0

Posting in all caps is considered to be shouting at someone here in the Apple Support Communities and a very poor lack of manners. It will also likely bring about folks ignoring you.

  • I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone.

    I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?

  • Bought Brand new iPad 05/16/11 got broke yesterday Apple don't wanna honor the warranty...

    My sister bought a brand new iPad last year at Verizon Wireless. It was purchased on 05/16/11. Yesterday, her iPad got broke. I checked the serial number and it says warranty expired already. We bought at Verizonwireless by phone and we a verizon wireless e-mail receipt that showing it was purchased on 05/16/11. However, e-mail receipt didn't have any serial number of the iPad, It's only a model number and how much we paid for it. Apple customer support don't want to honor the receipt or don't want to fix it. We were told to call Verizon Wireless and ask why our iPad says on their end it was purchased way back 2010. I bought it brand new and received it brand new sealed with match serial number on the box. Can someone here can help me how to resolve this problem? The standard warranty is supposed to be 1 year from the date it was purchase. Please help! I would really appciate it! Thanks!

    Warranty will cover manufacturer's defects, but I doubt it will cover a situation where the iPad "got broke".  What happened to it?

  • I bought a new iPad for my wife and want to move the data from my iPad to the new one and clear my old one for her.

    How do I back up all data on my iPad 2 & restore it to a new iPad 3?

    Have a read at my comments on this link - https://discussions.apple.com/message/18857075#18857075
    Not too sure what your post heading is saying!!!

  • Setting up Brand New iPad 2 - iTunes Sharing and Getting Files from old iTunes Account

    Greetings.  I recently purchased an iPad 2 (convert after 20 years of PC use) and have been waiting to set it up until I knew the proper way to proceed.  I have multiple questions and am hoping those of you with more Apple experience can help out a convert .
    I would like to set it up with a new iTunes account so when my wife gets her iPad 2 next year we can share apps and movies we buy on iTunes.  Do you always have to sync your iPad to your PC to get your latest purchases or can you do that via the wireless connection directly on the iPad after the initial set-up?
    That said, if one of us buys an app/movie, will we both have to carry it on our iPads or will they store remotely on iTunes or on our PCs?  I'm just concerned about maxing out the storage space on the iPad.  Do the purchases need to occur on your PC vs. the iPad itself for both to have the app/movie access?
    I've also read about iCloud issues and syncing all calendar/contact/etc. accounts if two iPads are set-up with the same Apple ID.  What's the best way to initially configure the iPads so that you avoid this headache in the future?
    Once I get all this settled and get a new iTunes shared account working, is there any way to get the movies I have in both of our old iTunes accounts into the new shared iTunes account?  Can I simply drop them on a jump drive from one PC and place them into an appropriate folder on the new PC that the iPad sync's to if it does in fact need to sync?
    Again, appreciate all the help and sorry for all of the confusion and multiple thoughts.  I would just like to set this thing up once and for all the right way.
    Thanks again

    1, you can (re-)download a lot of purchases directly on the iPad without having to connect to your computer - apps and ibooks can be re-downloaded (as long as they remain available), music can be re-downloaded in some countries; tv shows can currently only be re-downloaded in the US. Re-downloading
    2, films are a one-time only download, so you can either download it on your computer's iTunes and sync it to your device(s), or if you download it directly on the iPad you will need to then copy it to your computer's iTunes (connect the iPad and do File > Transfer Purchases) so that you can make a backup and copy it to your other iPods, iPads etc.
    3, I haven't had any problems with iCloud, but then I don't share my account so it's only my account and contacts on my iPad and iPhone.
    4, you can authorise your old accounts on your computer's iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer) and copy the films onto it : File > Add File To Library - you can't copy or transfer content to a different account (nor can you combine accounts), they will remain tied to the original account
    The iPad's manual has some info about syncing and each of the built-in apps (the iBooks app is covered in the manual though it isn't pre-installed, but you can download it for free from the store) - the manual can be downloaded from here http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

  • I bought a new ipad for my wife and it works well. BUT need help

    Only problem is that when she tries to download a movie or song from itunes it starts downloading and even debit on my credit card so the account is ok but when it finishes downloading it stops and says can t download the movie
    Even for other movies or songs
    But it worked with a book
    Helpppp
    Last model of ipad
    No prob of memory
    Account works and even debited

    The only way they would all come over is if your wife had automatic downloads turned on in her store settings on the phone before she downloaded the apps. A popup for this option also comes up when you first sign into an apple id on the phone in the app store. If she didn't have that setting turned on, she'll have to download them one by one.
    She could also try to sync them over from a computer that has itunes on it

  • Slow Backup.  Brand New iPad... 8+ hours already!

    I got a brand new iPad the other day, and when I first turned it on and activated it I downloaded a few apps. The main app I've been using is MangaDL to read manga on the go (comics). Last night, before sleeping I tried my first sync/backup and now when I wakeup it's still not done!!! This is absolutely not right. I barely even have 2GB worth of things inside the iPad!
    Now I've read other forum posts about slow backup speeds... but as soon as it gets technical it seems everyone is talking about Windows. Just as a note, I'm using Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.4. I just upgraded from Tiger 2 days ago.

    HI,
    No way it should take that long.
    Since you just upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard, check the startup disk for errors that may need repairing. You need your Mac install disc for this. Your profile indicates you have two Macs. Make sure and use the machine specific disc that came with the Mac you tried the backup with.
    Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space

  • Brand New iPad does not turn on

    Hi,
    I just got a brand new iPad 3d + WiFi 64GB and i just can't turn it on. These are all the things I had done:
    1. Charged for 8 hours at least with the 10w charger. During the charging, the white apple logo just stay flashing on the ipad screen (about 5secs on and 10secs off).
    2. Computer up to date; Itunes latest version ; did restarts (both mac and ipad), force reset, changed several cables and tried syncing with 2 other macs and one pc, still nothing happens when ipad is connected to the computer.
    3. Without the charger, no sign of life for ipad.
      Anyone has similar issues like me and how do you resolve it?

    That stinks.  Try this:  hold down the home button and the power button at the same time for 15-20 seconds.  If you don't eventually see an Apple logo - you have a bad unit and need to take it back from where you got it.
    Good luck.

  • HT4437 I bought a brand new iPad 3 and an Apple TV, both connected to the same wpa protected wifi network from home. It worked for a day, but when I woke up, the Apple TV couldn't be found anymore by neither iPad, MacBook or iPhone. Any clue? Thanks!

    I bought a brand new iPad 3 and an Apple TV, both connected to the same wpa protected wifi network from home. It worked for a day, but when I woke up, the Apple TV couldn't be found anymore by either iPad, MacBook or iPhone. Anybody a solution for this?

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • HT4623 I bought a brand new ipad air, but I am not allowed to download ie. pages and keynotes for free, as promised?

    I bought a brand new ipad air, but I am not allowed to download ie. pages and keynotes for free, as promised?

    The free only counts for devices activated after September. So first you need to activate the iPad (go through all the set up stuff), then, using the same Apple ID you used to activate the iPad, go to the App store and search for Pages, etc. When you download them you should see them for free.
    Being free is tied to the Apple ID used to activate a device. For example, I bought my iPod in June, so I'd need to pay for the apps, which is why they're not universally free in the app store.
    After you activate the iPad it may take a little time for the app store to realize 'yeah, just got a new device, this purchase is free'. I've seen people say they go right in, see it for cost, then go back in a little bit and the apps are now free.

  • HT1386 I have a brand new ipad with iOS 6.1.3 and an imac with OS 10.5.8. I cannot update my OS on this machine, but want to sync the new ipad. What can I do?

    I have a brand new ipad with iOS 6.1.3 and an imac with OS 10.5.8. I cannot update my OS on this machine, but want to sync the new ipad. What can I do?

    If it's an Intel Mac, you can upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    If it's a PowerPC Mac, you need to use these instructions and/or iTunes Match to put content on the iPad.

  • What is the white horizontal line and red vertical line on my brand new ipad mini?

    Bought a brand new ipad mini 2 for my sons Christmas, took it out the box and it was during the set up process, ie entering his iTunes and icloud account, a white horizontal line and a red vertical line appeared on the screen and is there all the time now.  Have tried switching off and on and resetting, but it is still there.  Any ideas??

    Hi Tolmivooz,
    So the lines didn't appear until you were into the setup?
    Does the orientation of the lines change when you rotate the screen?
    Thanks for trying the restart and reset. Please see if a restore helps.
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you see lines, missing sections, discoloration, or poor image quality
    Try to restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
    If restarting or resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Best,

  • Is it safe to upgrade brand new iPad 2 to ios 5.0.1?

    I've just bought a new iPad 2 and am eager to upgrade to iOS 5 for all those new features.. However, the web's littered with complaints from iPhone users about major issues with the iOS 5.0.1 version. I haven't been able to find anything specifically pointing to problems with 5.0.1 on iPad2. Can people who've upgraded their iPad 2 to 5.0.1 tell me if they're facing any problems with the updated iOS or is the problem just limited to iPhone users?
    Thanks!

    I would update. Just make sure you fully back it up first then do the upgrade.
    I think the only issue I've had is my wifi occasionally dropping...which just means it disconnects and has to be reconnected every so often. Not horrible, just annoying.
    I haven't experienced the battery drain issue and the other big glitch was syncing via iCloud and it eating all my contacts. But that' s not a problem with upgrading, rather an issue with the iCloud as a whole.

  • Why do I have other people I cloud on a brand new iPad bought direct from Apple

    hi
    i bought my husband a new ipad direct from Apple and when we go to set it up it has 2 other peoples iCloud details on it. We don't know who they are and considering its brand new it doesn't make any sense. Has anyone else had this issue? if so how did you resolve it please. I have tried to get in contact with my supposed contact person at Apple but he has not replied. When I ordered them he told me to contact him for support
    thank you

    as I said something is NOT right
    your iPad is NOT new if it already has an Apple  id attached to it
    try putting the serial # into this genuine Apple Tool

    and see what it tells you
