Can't restore iPad

I am trying to do a clean restore of my iPad (currently running 4.2) and when I click on the restore button, I get the following message:
+There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad "jiPad". The requested resource was not found.+
I can click on the More Information or the OK button. The More Info button just brings me to an apple support page without any specific info about this message.
Any ideas?
This has been happening for well over a week now.
Thanks.

    Can not restore ipad 2. Unable to connect to activation server, server is temporarily unavailable??

    Hi Anson/JimHdk,
    I triple checked to makes sure my SSID and passwords are right.
    I found the MAC Address filter is not turned on...
    I don't think there's maximum number of connection for the router (I turned my 2 other devices on Airplane mode when checking) and it still didn't work. 
    I don't know how to durn off DHCP and use static IP address....
    There's no firmware update available for my router as it's 8 years old....
    My brother says I will need to get a new router....   hopefully that will work....
    Thank you both for offering these additional checks!

  • HT201210 what is - can not restore ipad due to error code 2006

    trying to figure out what error code 2006 is - it is not one listed and I can't restore my ipad to factory settings

    It is listed, you just sort have to play around on the support site in order to find it.
    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

  • Can't restore iPad from icloud

    I Had the "unable to download item" issue after updating iOS recently. Forums suggested that I shoud restore the iPad 2 via iTunes and then restore content from backup. So I held down the two buttons while connecting the iPad to the computer and the system restore worked fine however when it came to restoring content it said that the iPad had not been backed up previously.I looked online in my iCloud account and there is definitely a backup there but for some reason it is not tied in with my iPad any more. Is there anything I can do about this?
    Thanks

    Dont worry about this!!! I am a moron! Just figured it out. Thanks

  • How can I restore iPad without access to Apple ID or last PC used?

    My organization has about 25 iPads. I just had one returned to me as "Disabled", and I am unable to recover it using the usual procedure because I don't have access to the last PC it was connected to.  This iPad was used by a former employee.  I have no idea what he set up as his Apple ID or password, and do not have access to his PC/iTunes account.  The normal approach to recovery requires the Apple ID and Password and last PC used for iTunes.  What can I do? 
    This recovery approach is designed for consumers, not a business with a normal rotation of employees.  Do I have to download one of those hacking tools?
    John Straub

    You can restore it from any computer with iTunes. If, however, the previous employee set up Find My iPhone and hence Activation Lock, you will need that employee's Apple ID and password to activate the device after the restore, or you'll need to get him/her to remove the device from his/her iCloud account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2702
    If you can't reach the previous user or he/she is unwilling to cooperate, you will need to contact Apple Support and ask if they can help. If your company can provide proof of ownership, there may be something they can do.
    For the future, most companies either set up Find My iPhone using an Apple ID and password the company controls, or they lock off the ability to make account changes so that the employee can't set up iCloud.

  • Can't restore iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi + Cellular (VZ)

    Model: iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi + Cellular (VZ)
    Non Jail-broken.
    I have tried to use iTunes to restore the iPad through restore mode and it gives me error 9 when using my Macbook Pro, and it gives me error 14 when using Windows 7 desktop. 
    I have good internet connection.  I have good USB cable (oem, plugged in directly into desktop tower/laptop). 
    I have also tried downloading previous firmware and using Shift click/option-command click on restore button via iTunes and choosing specific file to restore the iPad. 
    Anything else I can do to fix this iPad?
    Doing research on error codes on Apple's website: 
    error 9:  security error?
    error 14:  usb cable error?
    I am not sure why these codes are coming up...
    How can i get iTunes to complete the restore process.  I dont care about any of the data that was on the iPad.  All my photos are on cloud and backed up on Macbook Pro via iPhone.  It was all synced prior to this happening to the iPad...

    Hello TonyTechSupport,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Please follow the steps below to troubleshoot error 14 in iTunes.
    Check your USB connections
    Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014, or “invalid response."
    If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
    Try a different computer.
    If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
    If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.
    Check for hardware issues
    Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
    Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • Can't restore iPad, not enough space, lost Pin to get in.

    Password was changed on iPad and when trying to restore to factory settings, I can't as there is not enough space. What can I do?  I can't see the iPad on "Find my iPad" on iCloud either, so that is not an option.

  • Can't Restore iPad - Error 9

    I'm hoping someone can help me.  In the middle of syncing my iPad with iTunes, it failed and the iPad began endlessly rebooting.  It never got past the Apple logo.
    I managed to put it into recovery mode and attempt to restore.  When restoring, I got an error 9 indicating a USB issue.  I followed all of the troubleshooting steps (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286) recommended by our Apple friends.  I tried different cables, and I tried a different computer.
    I run Windows 7 - 64 bit.  All of my software (OS, iTunes) and drivers (Apple mobile USB driver) are up to date.  I did not Jailbreak my iPad.  I play by the rules.
    During the restore process I watched the USB driver in the device manager.  I could see it pop in an drop out, and always at key times in the restore process.  It dropped out for the last time after the iPad began displaying the progress bar.
    My feeling is that it is not a hardware problem since it occurs so predictably in the restore process, and never prior to starting the restore.
    I think error 9 is reported by default as the most available error to trap, but I don't think it is the cause.
    A lot of people seem to have this problem, but I have never seen a posted solution.  Any help is very much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I went to see the Apple "geniuses" today.  They performed the same steps, and got the same results.
    It seems the way to solve the problem is to get another iPad.  It came at a reduced price, but it still cost me $280 after tax for another 64GB 3G.

  • HT4097 can't restore ipad using the "restore" method or the "recovery" method

    Hi,
    I tried to log in to my ipad and it kept giving me the message that I entered the wrong passcode.  That doesn't make any sense at all because I was entering the password I set up and the same one I have been using to login successfully.  I got locked out repeatedly.  So continuing to try the password is unsuccessful. Why this is happening is not important to me.  The important thing to me is restoring the ipad.
    I followed the directions on this link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414  for restoring the device and I got the message to enter the password, which I did and it locked me out again. 
    Then I followed the directions on this link http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 to restore in the recovery mode and again I got the message to enter my password. 
    Both of these things were unsuccessful.  Now what do I do?
    I have the new ipad. I am using the same computer used to sync the ipad and the ipad is backed up on a regular basis. 
    Thanks!
    Joan

    Recovery mode asking for the password makes no sense to me. Are you sure that you are performing the steps correctly? Please don't be offended by the question. It's just a double check sort of thing.
    I would try recovery mode again - a couple of times if needed. But quit iTunes, and restart the Mac before you try again. If that still doesn't work, try another computer - which will wipe the iPad, but may let you back into the iPad.
    If it works successfully and you do sync regularly - you can restore from a recent backup on your Mac and the sync with iTunes to get all of your content back onto the device.

  • Can not restore ipad 2 because find my iphone is still on.

    i can't remember my passcode for my ipad so i tried to restore it to a different backup but it wont let me because it says that i must first turn off findmyiphone. i went to my icloud account online and removed my ipad from the findmyiphone device list. it still says that i have to turn it off even after i did that. any help??

    You needed to erase the device before removing it.  At this point, all you can do is enter your iCloud Apple ID password directly on the device.  That means you really need to remember that passcode.  There is a possible remedy through expresslane.com, but I'm very doubtful.  They hear all types of imaginative stories of why a certain iOS device is prohibiting a certain person from access.  Good luck with that.

  • Error Code (-1) Can't Restore iPad

    Tried updating to the latest OS. It failed and itunes says iPad needs to be restored. Tried restoring and get error code (-1). tried restoring again. It goes through the restore process, completes, then says it needs to be restored (as if that's not what I just did). So I try again and get error code (-1)
    I have:
    Restarted the pc
    Restarted the ipad
    Hard reset
    Uninstalled and reinstalled the latest itunes
    Tried all the different usb ports
    Created a new user for the pc
    none of which works... still getting the same error or it just finishes and states that it needs to be restored
    This is a freshly unboxed iPad 32GB wifi (original ipad) that was given as a replacement for another non functioning ipad
    called customer service (the guy was patient and very friendly by the way) but they were unable to find any info on an error code (-1).
    Has anyone else received this error code or heard of it? anyone know a cause or a fix?

    If you can't update or restore your iPad: Press and hold down the home button for five (5) seconds, then (without letting go of the home button) hold on to the sleep button until the apple sign shows up on your screen, and finally (still holding on to the home button) let go of the sleep button, and in a few seconds the image with a USB cable and the iTunes logo should appear.
    This process puts your iPad into DUI mode which means that it has been un-bricked and should work properly once you put it into iTunes. Keep in mind though: it won't start up untill you plug it into your computer, let it start up, and sync it to get everything you need.
    Best of luck!
    Note: If your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch ever crash and refuse to work; you can do this process at any time to get it going again. If you're running iOS 5 you don't need to connect it to a computer at all, just configure your device like you did when you installed the software for the first time.

  • Help! Accidentally deleted Apple id, can't restore iPad

    Help! When trying to change the apple id on icloud, I accidentally deleted my sister's apple id, to which my ipad 2 was linked. I have since created my own account, and tried to restore the ipad, but it won't let me because it asks for the password of the previous "owner" of the ipad, and I can't access it because it no longer exists. I am not from the US, and thus can't call to get help.
    Please help me!

    Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase/download them originally. So they will always require that ID to update.
    Why did your old Id become unusable?  If it was because the email is no longer functional, you can go to appleid.apple.com to update it, and keep your aple ID functional with a new email address attached to it.
