  • Cannot restore ipad mini.  Not enough room

    I had an ipad mini model A1432 (16gb) that had a cracked screen.  I bought a second ipad mini (open box but seemed unused), same A1432 model and tried to do a restore so that it could be used while I fixed the first unit.  Both have OS 7.04.  Itunes is telling me it cannot do the restore becuase there is not enough memory on the new ipad.  The old ipad backup was under 14.5GB so what gives?  It does not tell me there is a problem with the new ipad and I have confirmed the models on the back of the ipads.
    I tried doing a fresh install of the OS (restore iPad) in the hopes that if there was any legacy files from the previous owner who must have gotten it for christmas, would be wiped out.

    Further to my question.
    I am able to do a restore.  Takes 15 or more minutes and reboots but then I get the same response when I try to restore what should be a 14.5GB backup.  Everything appears to restore properly so I should expect that I would easily have enough room to do the "Restore from this backup:"
    Do I have to initialise something or do some steps first?  it seems to want me to setup my wifi and other details but I should be able to do the backup as that is what it is for.
    The exact wording of the error:
    "iTunes could not restore the ipad "Nichole's iPad" becasue not enough free space is available on the iPad."
    I only have the option of saying "OK"

    Hello there, Didger46.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up information on the exact error message you are seeing:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#9
    Particularly:
    Configure your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, or 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm 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.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • IPad1 stuck in recovery mode with and ITunes cannot restore with an error code of 11?

    I tried to update to IOS 4.3.4 today but now my iPad1 stuck in recovery mode with and ITunes cannot restore with an error code of 11?
    (With the old discussion groups it was easy to see where other people had similar problems, these new groups seems clunky in comparison)

    OK, fixed it by using SHIFT+RESTORE to load the iPad1,1_4.3.4_8K2_Restore.ipsw  file in directly from the
    C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPad Software Updates
    folder.
    No idea why the upgrade to 4.3.3 failed in the first place and no idea why iTunes was not clever enough to just do it by itself when it detected that there was a problem in the first place.

  • Restore ipad mini

    want ask about restore ipad mini with itunes .when im restornig my ipad mini the restornig stop long time in preparing iPad for restore  and it still has not progressed . pls help me

    Hello Ghaith2014,
    Thank you for your question! It sounds like you are trying to restore your iPad Mini but it is not completing successfully. I would start by restarting both the computer, and the iPhone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    If that does not resolve the issue, you may need to try backing up your iPad, to iTunes first:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Then use this article to put the iPad in recovery mode, and attempt the restore again:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
