HT201210 Itunes cannot restore my ipad. It says device cannot be found. What do I do next?
My ipad says to connect to itunes. It is updated but now will not restore. It says device cannot be found. Now, what do I do?
You should also ask this in the iPad forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

i cannot restore my ipad software i had download a new software on itunes but i couldnot download it on ipad or restore the old software and the problem is restoring ipad firmware
Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times. -
I recently dropped my ipad and had to get a new one. I backed up the first I pad and used the icloud to reload all my data on my new ipad. Now when I go to backup the new ipad it says I cannot because I don't have enough ICloud storage available.
If you can't get the password correct, you CANNOT restore from that backup.
However, if you've been using your phone as recommended by Apple, there should be minimal data loss.
Your iTunes library is on your computer, so you can synch all your apps, music, movies, ringtones, etc, on to your new phone.
Similarly, contacts should be synched to Address Book, Outlook, or a cloud service for you to easily synch back to your new phone.
Pictures taken from your old phone and not synched to your computer are lost, but you would have been synching those photos to your computer frequently as recommended. Other photos that you synch TO your iPhone are still on your computer.
You won't be able to get text messages back. -
I've tried setting my iPad exchange email with the same settings from my iPhone. However, iPad keeps saying it cannot verify account. Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong. There is a small chance I may have the wrong password but I don't think that's the case.
Update....following a Power cycle the iPad SW was able to be updated and iTunes recognised it!!
Note iTunes SW version is 11.1.4 (62) 64 Bit.
All cables are OEM. -
I cannot restore my iPad. Error 23. Any suggestions?
I cannot restore my iPad. When I connect to iTunes, keep getting message error 23. Not able to connect to iPad sotware update server.
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting 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.

I downloaded iTunes on my PC and it says I cannot listen to songs I've previously bought unless I enable it. How do I enable it?
Below the download link there's a text link that reads Get iTunes for Macintosh
Click it and you can download the Mac version (DMG) -
While itunes was restoring my ipad in recovery mode, I got an error message requesing a passcode. What do I do now?
Hi Amandalee498,
It sounds as if your Windows computer is not detecting the iPad in iTunes. Let's see if we can get that fixed up.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I have tried all the troubleshooting tips online but my Classic ipod doesnt work. My Itunes keeps telling me that it cannot restore the ipod because the ipod is busy. What can I do?
Have you tried rebooting for the Mac and iPod to see if that helps? To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
It wouldn't hurt to also try plugging the iPod into another USB port and use a different USB sync cable.

Hi. I have this situation: iphone 5s freezes and does not respond. connect to itunes to restore it, but there says that I should turn off search by icloud in the settings of cellphone. but if the phone freezes?? what to do?? help me please!! Thanks advanced!!
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. -

when am trying to restore my iphone it says iphone cannot be activated because activation server cannot be reached what i need to do now?
The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download iOS7 at the same time.
There is a chance activation servers might be down/slow for now. Just keep trying throughout the day. Some other forum users are experieincing similar things.
You can also try the apple document for activation issues, but I'd assume its server issues. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424 -

HT2101 cannot set up i pad (says it cannot activate the server?) try again later tried 10 times?
Cannot set up ipad? says cannot activate the server? try again later--done 10 times already
See
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5 or Later
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update.
