HT201263 Cannot restore ipad mini after update on configurator

Please help! I have tried restoring from itunes 3 times and each time it gets to the end, says it's processing the file and then jumps back to the ipad recovery mode....

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"

Correct. You cannot Restore to a lesser version ( iOS 6.1.3 to iOS 6 )

Yes.

Safari not work for iPad mini after updated to ios 6.1.3

After updated to ios 6.1.3, Safari just not response. I cannot input any web address. Do anyone has this problem? Do anyone know how to solve it?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

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.

Cannot restore iPad Mini error 2003 unknown

Cannot restore music/apps after Update to phone

Hi. Really hope someone can help here. Don't think I have a severe problem, at least hope not. Nutshell:
-Started Update about 3 hours ago.
-After update, got error message stating problem, needed to restore to back-up.
-Thankfully I had backed up the device just prior to update, and just checked, I still have all of my data on HD
-When trying to restore, I kept getting error message, asking me to repeat the process, and phone is completely bricked at this point
-Saw message stating this is frequently caused by anti-virus/firewall, so disabled AV/Firewall, restore again, successfully
-Phone no longer a brick, but ALL data is gone, like a brand new phone, not a good thing
-I can see all of my apps/music in my itunes library, as well as my hard drive, but can not find a way to get the data back to my iphone.
-Tried syncing (haven't tried restoring yet, wanted to do a little research first) no success, no drag and drop, etc... very stupid imo, how can you not be able to drag and drop?! anyway...
So, need help getting my data back to my phone, music and apps.
Again, your help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hi all. Just in case you end up searching this thread, the answer was so stupid and should have been obvious... man, Apple is really screwing things up that should be easy. Anyway, here is the dumb answer, and yep, maybe it is me who is dumb, but we all miss the obvious, (who hasn't last keys lately???) it should have been a super easy fix.
Ok, I never had an issue with syncing prior to this, default settings worked fine, and I am not someone who uses iTunes for anything other than this required use for updates and back-ups. So, I had/have very little interaction and knowledge of iTunes.
When looking at the GUI, clicking on your iphone or other device, you immediately see the summary page. I never noticed the tabs on the inner frame of the window, with the info/apps/music/etc subtabs. I always browsed my libraries by the main tabs on the left side.
Then, after all of this crud yesterday, I did find them. After the update, for some reason, they were all unchecked, all music, apps, frikking so stupid!! When you go into the page, you have to re-check the box to sync, something I had never had to do before. Then, as with most preference set-ups, I cycled through the pages, checked the boxes, tried to sync after, and it still didn't work...
Well, the genius coders here decided that the only way to make these changes 'sticky' was to click 'apply' on EACH SEPARATE TAB!!! You have to do each 1 by itself: music sync check then APPLY, apps sync check then APPLY, you get it..
Again, thanks SO MUCH Apple for another update with Unacceptable major flaws, so simple I was always looking tons deeper. Steve Jobs, Get your team back on point, this is getting to be a major mess..
Hope this helps others.

Restoring ipod mini after updating

i downloaded the ipod updater last night and the computer did not give me the option to retore, only to update. so it went through the process, but i really want to restore it to the original settings and can't figure out how to do it after it's already been updated with the latest software.
i tried to re-install the software, but the ipod didn't respond.
also, i am connected by USB and running OS X 10.2.8. the information online says i should be connected to the dock? and be running a newer version of OS X? is this the problem? is there a way to get around it. i don't have a dock for the mini.
thank you.

Cannot restore my messages after update, please he...

Hello everybody,
i've recently created a full backup of everything on my 5800 XM Phone, and attempted to restore it after software update, everything is restored , except the Messages.arc , i think because there was a 7MB 3gp file in my inbox,
Phone restores successfully (!) without errors, but nothing is restored in my inbox or folders, just delivery reports are back. to check if the file is corrupted or not, i used Noki 2.0 , its OK, but because im from IRAN, i cant purchase the full software and trial version just doesnt do it.
is there a way to workaround this, delete the 3gp file from archive or something else?
please help me, i need my text messages, i cant afford to lose them.
Sorry For My English.

Oh !thanks for replies! im truely amazed

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.

No audio or sound from my ipad mini after update or any apps used? What should i do please help?

my problem is i can't hear the sounds from my ipad especially when i am playing a music or video from youtube or any game up. This happen after an update? I thought it was just an auto silent mode but unfortunately the volume limit is on full and there is no head phones attached. Please help me enable the sounds of my ipad.

Is it all browsers that you are having problems with, or is just Safari (and I assume that your last post means that other apps are ok) ?
If only Safari then try clearing its cache : Settings > Safari > Clear History And Website Data (Clear Cookies And Data on iOS 5, 6, 7 and also Clear History)
Close Safari via the iPad's taskbar (I'm assuming that your iPad is on iOS 7+) : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the Safari app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
And do a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
And then retry playing the videos.

Cannot restore iPod shuffle after update

I have an iPod shuffle original model. For the past few years it has played music as background to my space. Today it went silent.
I plugged into my Powerbook and iTunes offered to update it which is probably the basis of the following problem.
Try and try but that same file from the iTunes library will no longer go into the iPod. I tested with a second one and got the same.
What is the problem? This is my own recording imported via Quicktime and plays on my photo iPod which I'm using instead; but it will not even copy to the iPod shuffle. But it was there for years!
This is galling.

I had this error as well. I re-installed the updater to get it working again.

Apple Configurator / iTunes unable to restore iPhone 4s after update, Apple Configurator / iTunes unable to restore iPhone 4s after update

Apple Configurator will not restore any iPhone 4S after the latest update (ERROR: Unable to prepare)and iTunes gives the error 3194. But all usual 3194 fixes don't work and this happens exclusively on the 4S.
Tested on 15 different iPhone 4S's
Using 4 Mac Minis and 8 different Windows 7 machines.
Hosts files have not been altered.
Latest version of iTunes / Configurator on all.
Both have been removed and reinstalled.
No dice.

Ok, well after two days of recieving nothing but the usual generic template response from the "support team" the only thing i was sure of was that my original message had not been read at all.
I was able to fix the issue myself though, so i'll leave this here in case someone else is unfortunate enough to have the same issue:
It appears for whatever reason Apple Configurator removed the previous versions of iOS itself before attempting to download iOS 7, the only conclusion i could draw was that for whatever reason the download failed and i was left without a firmware file both the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 5. Older handsets were unaffected.
To fix this, simply download the firmware from http://www.ipswdownloader.com/
Then (if you're on a Mac) navigate to: Library/Containers/com.apple.configurator/Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.configu rator/Firmware and copy the new .ipsw into that folder.
Restart configurator and you will be good to go.
Porbably worth mentioning I spoke to my colleages in the US and they we're having the exact same issue ever since last weeks Configurator upgrade so why the support team are still sending templates out asking users to go on a wild goose chase with things like "Are you SURE you have the latest version of "XYZ" are you SURE you have rebooted the machine, are you SURE blah blah blah"
YES. I'm sure. I know what i'm talking about, I work in the industry and this is not another generic fault and you do not have a fix published yet.
How about listening to what the users are ACTUALLY saying before emailing this rubbish out?

I can't access the itunes store from my ipad mini after updating the latest iOS7. Does anyone have answers to solving this?

Ive been through various threads on here.

Reset all your settings works, but only once. when you shut down and open back up same problem.
Ive tried changing how my cookies respond, this doesnt work either.
My app store loads in a second, fastest its ever been.
Ive noticed that when your in settings and click on something eles it takes maybe a second or two before it changes to the next screen something thats never happened on 6

Unable to access Ipad mini after failed software update

Can't access my Ipad mini after a failed software update. All I get is a black screen and a note to plug in my device in order to update itunes. The update failed and I am unable to get back in. I have rebooted a couple of times - no luck. Is there any way to bypass the update and get back in? Any ideas, Please?

The message telling you to plug into iTunes cannot be bypassed. That is not a message telling you to update iTunes. It is telling you to plug into iTunes on your computer.
You absolutely must restore the iOS a software or you will never get back into your iPad. You have to restore using iTunes on a computer.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
However, you will most likely need to use Recovery Mode now.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
