I Can't restore my ipad?

Hey, I want to restore or update my ipad. Everytime I do restore or update through iTunes, it just keep saying "This device is not eligble for the requested build". I can't update or restore my device, I just updated my iTuens and it's the same problem.

Please get the iPad iOS 4 user guide.

    I Have seen people report this issue when they try to sync their devices but in never seen it when trying to restore an unresponsive iPad. I would sguggest trying recovery mode now.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    This procedure will totally erase the iPad so I hope that you have a backup that you can restore from....assuming that it works, that is.

    You cannot get around Activation Lock without the oringinal owner disassociating the iPad from their account.
    See the Activation Lock FAQ for what you and they need to know.

    how can i restore my iPad?

    Nevermind, I solved it with iPad backup restore. Backed up every app individually to an ipa with app+records. Then reset to factory, restored old iTunes backup and did the same again for the other apps. Now I have all apps on the computer with its corresponding data and don't rely on partially implemented backup solutions.

    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.

  • I can't restore my Ipad and keep getting NAND messages running along the type left of the screen

    I can't restore my Ipad mini.....it begins the process and then stops midway through and shows NAND messages along the top left of the screen. Then all I get is either a blank screen or Apple logo......unable to turn it on or off.

    Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • How can I restore my iPad from an encrypted backup if I didn't put a password on it?

    I went to back up my iPad two days ago just as I have several times prior. Low and behold, it asks me for a password of which I have no knowledge of EVER putting one in. So I called Apple support. The "genius" (and I use that word loosely) told me I had to reset my ipad as a "new" ipad in iTunes, then use an older backup to restore my data. All went fine until the iPad restarted and immediately began doing a backup to the iCloud. I proceed to try to restore my data. Only 1 older backup shows up in the list, which is the one I did right before resetting the iPad, BUT, it is encrypted. So now I have an ipad that USED to have a years worth of appointments and schedule that is now empty. I went to the local Apple store and the "Genius" there skated around the issue for an hour because he didn't have a clue how to get my calendar restored. He finally, as he was wrapping up, gave me the web address to the Expresslane.apple.com folks and told me that they would help me. I followed the links that he told me to and right before It said someone would call me, They asked for $19.99 first, even though the local genius told me there would be no charge since he was referring me to them. This is my first and last Apple product as I will be looking for a more reliable substitute.

    So what is your question?
    If you forgot your encryption password:
    Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
    If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.
    The above comes from here:

  • Can I restore my iPad from a sync/backup that was made on a different computer but copied to my current one?

    I regularly sync my iPad with my mac by plugging it in with the USB cable and hitting the "Sync" button in iTunes. Until recently, I had a computer with Leopard that just died. Luckily I had a backup of everything, including my iTunes folder, on an external hard drive. When I plug my iPad into my new computer (which has Lion), I can see all my apps and my preferences regarding what to sync have been saved.
    Unfortunately, one of my apps, Papers, had a lot of information on it that was lost recently and I'd like to restore that information if possible. The Papers support people told me that it should be stored in my iPad backup, so if I restore it from a backup I should get that data back. But on iTunes is says that the last backup on this computer is "unknown". I don't know if that means there is no backup, or if it just doesn't know the date because it was copied from a different computer. Regardless, it makes me nervous to hit restore when I don't know if I have a backup or not.
    My questions are:
    1) Can I access a backup of my iPad on my new computer?
    2) If so, would I just hit "Restore" and it will give me the option of restoring from the backup that was there?
    I want to make sure if I restore my iPad I won't lose anything accidentally!
    Thank you!

    I just wanted to update this chain since I was able to solve the problem I had. My iPad backups were on a time machine backup, but not on my new computer. In my most recent time machine backup I navigated to:
    ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup and took the most recent folder from there. I copied that folder into the corresponding directory on my new machine, and then when I opened iTunes and plugged in my iPad it was there and I was able to restore it!
    Note that if you have multiple devices, you can open that folder in the Backup directory and find the info.plist file, and near the top it will say the name of the device, so I was able to tell which was my iPad backup and which was my iPhone backup.
    Problem solved!

  • How can I keep my restrictions on my ipad will still restoring it.  I ask this because you can easily restore the ipad which disables restrictions.  Is there a way to always have restrictions on even in restoring it?

    How can I keep restrictions on my ipad.  I know that if you restore the ipad as new then the password and restrictions gets disabled.  Is there a way to constantly keep restrictions on the ipad even with someone restores it as new or restores it in general

    If it's restored to a backup, and the restrictions were in place when the backup was made, then they will be kept (they will effectively be copied back on from the backup). Restoring to factory defaults/as new will remove them and all other settings and content from the iPad, and you can't change that behaviour - one reason is that if you forget the restrictions code (and there are fairly regular postings on here from people who have) then the factory default reset then allows you to remove it.
