Can't restore my iPad from iTunes restore

I can't get into my iPad because it won't accept any paswords/codes i put in and I can't restore it because iTunes restore says I have to go on my iPad and turn off "find my ipad" first ....... how is that possible and is anyone else having this problem????

Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow step 1 to step 3 very closely.

Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again.

I can not import to iPad from iTunes some of my presentations.

I cannot import to iPad from iTunes some of my presentations. I get this message:"Presentation couldn’t be imported. An error occurred." That's it? I am blank off at Steve. Why cannot I simply drag and drop like any other decent software can from my saved presentations on my HD to appropriate directory in iPad? I have spent countless hours preparing those presentations. OK, let me think. I am going to do them over, spent so more countless hours just to find out that I cannot import them. Funny thing is that I never seen error doing something useless like playing game. Iam steaming.
I am looking in to Samsung products; maybe this error will help me to make the right decision. They are using open source Android, nothing like this secretive bull, oh my Got someone will try to steal my billions.

Wow, because you have created presentations that obviously have an error in them and so they cannot be used by the iPad, it is Steve's fault.
Sell your iPad to someone more deserving of its magic and get a Samsung imitation. That is if you can still find one to buy. If you had jumped the HP tablets were marked down just before HP threw in the towel on them.
But if instead of being a pendejo, you want some actual help, try the Keynote forum, perhaps they can help you discover your mistakes;

HT201210 cant restore my ipad from itunes after updating latest ios. message tells me to turn off 'find my ipad' from my ipad, but I can't because the set up is not complete without the restore. What do I do?

I don't know if I'm repeating my question. I can't restore my ipad after updating to latest ios. The battery went low, I had to eject and plug in to charge. The set up will not complete without resoring from icloud or itunes (i backed up to computer using itunes) or setting up the ipad as a New ipad. I want to restore all my stuff but the message I get in itune says "Find my ipad must be turned off before 'ipad' can be restored". Go to icloud settings on your ipad and turn off Find My iPad before restoring your iPad.". I cant' get to this setting on my ipad because the set up is not complete!!! I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm afraid if I set up the ipad as new it will backup the new ipad over my previous backup and then I will loose all my photos, songs, aps, notes,......

I have the same problem and we can't simply just restore from the backup. It says that I have to set up my iPad through restoring. So I tried restoring it in iTunes but it won't restore until I have to turn off this **** "Find My iPad" crap but I couldn't because the set up's not complete and it won't let me go to my settings unless I set it up. So basically it's asking me to go to my settings but before I could go to it I have to restore, and in order to restore I have to go to settings. Get where I'm at?
Please, Apple Tech people! Help this 14 year old girl on her period, PMS-ing, thinking about how I want to strangle however made this mistake of a set up, updating her iPad in 3 am in the morning cursing the day she even thought of updating. I seriously need to get out of this loophole. I don't want to use my other iPad that only has 16GB. I just wanted the pretty graphics I saw in my parent's iPad airs, I don't ask for anything more :''''(

How do I restore my iPad from iTunes if I get an error message stating not enough storage after updating to iOS 7

How do I restore my iPad 2 after backing it up and updating to the current iTunes and now getting an error message staying I can't restore due to lack of storage now on my iPad?

Try to offload photos you don't need on your iPad, delete apps that don't get used often. Videos that you have already wathced, books you have already read. Clear up enough space to do the update, Then add content back as you need it.

How can I remove my iPad from iTunes using my iPad?

My laptop broke and it had my iTunes stuff on it. I can not afford to repair it o I'm selling it later to my cousin. He likes to mess around a lot and I need to know how to remove my device. Please no commenting on black up because I use iCloud. Thank you for reading and have a nice day.

If you want to unassociate your iPad from the computer, As far as I know - you still have to log into your account on the computer and remove the device from iTunes in there. Yoy cant do it on the iPad.
Launch iTunes, and go to Store>view my account. Enter your Apple ID and your password. Go to iTunes in the cloud. There should be something that says Associated Devices, click on that and you can remove the iPad.
Is this what you are asking? BTW .... This has nothing to do with iCloud black up.

After restoring my ipad from itunes, I can't get past the set up screen

How do I get past the set up screen after restoring a new iPad 2 from an iTunes backup. I'd like to sync my apps on my iTunes to my iPad.

What setup screen? I have restored from a backup several times and the iPad always syncs when the process is complete. What are you seeing on the setup screen?

Cannot restoe Ipad as I just keep mgetting Error Message (2003) and in Ipad scree the cable to connect to itunes.

Rick,
Are you trying to restore an iPad2 wifi + 3G?
I'm sure somebody will correct me (Genius, insert proper reason here), but I believe if you are trying to set an iPad 2 3G unit back to a previous iOS (if you mistakenly upgraded to 4.3.4 or 4.3.5) and are trying to go back to 4.3.3?
There is something inherent with the 3G units that won’t let you.

Error 23 trying to restore original iPad from iTunes

Pulled my original iPad out of my bag after returning from vacation and it had an alert on screen saying it required activation. It connected to my home wi-fi fine but failed when trying to activate. After a bunch of retries it went in to recovery mode.
I installed latest iTunes (I'm on Windows 8.1 Pro) and started the restore process. However at the stage where it states it's verifying the restore with Apple (or something to that effect) it fails with the following message:
The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (23).
I'm stuck. Tried everything I can think of. Any ideas?

That may be due to a problem preventing your computer from communicating with Apples servers.
See the advice for error 23 here: Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support

I just upgraded to iTunes 12 and had all sorts of problems. After several restores I seem to be able to sync my iPad with iTunes BUT I can't delete anything off my iPad from iTunes. Any ideas on what to do?

Hi Eric Ferguson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
Best of luck,
Mario

What does it mean when my ipad is in Recovery mode? It's connected to my imac for software update and it says I must "restore" the ipad before itunes can be used. Will I lose everything on my ipad?

Unless you have a backup from which you can restore, yes you will lose all of your data and settings.
You should be able to sync your content back to the iPad if you have been syncing with iTunes all along. If you don't sync with iTunes, you can download much of your paid content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. This explains downloading past purchases.

Unfortunately, at this point, you must restore the device before you can move on. There is nothing you can do to avoid it now.

HT201269 how can i restore my ipad from a previous backup (not the most recent)

how can i restore my ipad from a previous backup (not the most recent). I can get the restore from backup, but there is only the most recent one visi

Again, iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per device. Any other backups listed are backups created from restore points. These are time/date stamped & are not overwritten.

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!

How can I see my ipad on itunes after cut the restore?

I was restoring my ipad then I accidently closed the itunes by Task Manager and now I can't see my ipad in itunes or any similar program but when I plug my ipad to the PC I can hear the alert means it's plugged , and I can see it in Device Manager , and I can't put it in DFU mode or anything else because I have no screen or home&power button.
sorry for my English.

Hello moamal,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that when you connect your iPad to your Windows computer, iTunes does not recognize that it has been connected. For this situation, I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps outlined in the attached article to resolve this.
