Getting error -34 when trying to restore my ipad

I am getting an error (-34) when trying to restore my backup to my ipad after update to ios 5.  Seems to be the same issue as:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3374362
I have plenty of free space on my 64gb ipad but the settings keep getting defaulted to not downsample my music to 128kb.  that would over fill my device. I have been on the phone with apple for over an hour with no end in sight.  I have lost many data files including a recorded meeting from this week.
If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.
Thanks,
RA

Configure your security software
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
Common errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.

  • KEEP GETTING ERROR 28 WHEN TRYING TO RESTORE 3GS

    3GS LOCKED UP;  KEEP GETTING ERROR 28 MESSAGE WHEN TRY TO RESTORE

    Error 29 can relate to security software on your computer. Disable your security software, or try to restore it on another computer. In the case that it still doesn't work on a completely different computer and network, it may be a hardware issue at which point you would need to take it to a Genius Bar.

  • TS3694 Why did I rec'd error 9006 when trying to restore my ipad 1 in iTunes

    When I turned on my ipad 1 today after using it 2 days ago with no problems.  I had a black scree with the itunes logo, photo of the white USB charging cable and a white arrow pointing to the itunes logo.  So I plugged the ipad into my iMac computer whichi is the computer I always use to update, synce my ipad.  The computer did recognize the ipad, but not my the name/ID that usually appears.  The message showed that computer recognized an ipad in recovery mode and only gave me the option to restore which would erase all data etc. But that was ok as I have a backup on that computer. However when it tried to restore, the message said my ipad was up to date, but yet it started looking for an update and then restore. It showed it was downloading an update and said once that was done, it would restore my ipad, then I would have the option to restore some of my data from a previous backup, but after 20 min, I rec'd a message that
    "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad, an unknown error occurred (9006).
    What would have caused this and how to I get my iPad working again?  I have done a hard reset, I have tried to turn the computer off, I can't even get the red slider bar to turn it off to come up.....
    thanks for ANY help

    Hello penel2907,
    This could be due to a hardware issue. You may try using a different USB port on your computer.
    Check for hardware issues
    Related errors: 1, 3, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020, 1669.
    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.

    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

    so this basically means: turn off your firewalls, virusscanners etc, and try again

  • TS1441 I continue to get error 1430 when trying to restore my ipod classic

    A couple of days ago the battery drained very quickly.  I also found that some songs although apparently on the ipod did not play. When I attempted to synch first time I was told that I did not have the authority to make changes.  I eventually went the restore route but on my two macs get the 1430 message.  (and it seems as if the battery has drained again?) My ipod is 5th generation classic.
    Thanks for any help and a Happy Christmas!

    Then tell us what error message you are getting?

  • TA38633 I get error 1601 when trying to restore my ipod HELP!

    i have uninstalled and re installed itunes and mobile device helper help!

    Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
    Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
    Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
    This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • TS3694 Getting error 1644 when trying to restore a backup... suggestions?

    Been trying to get the phone operational.  Have been getting robo text from verizon.  Verizon suppor suggested wiping phone clean and starting again.  wiping works fine.... restoring not so much  Gett 1644 with resore.
    Still getting flipping robo texts, though!

    If you could successfully download iOS 5, then you would be able to sync over Wi-Fi rather than iTunes. But older iOS versions must be synced through iTunes.
