I'm stuck at the "Restoring iPad firmware"

Hi,
I'm stuck at the "Restoring iPad firmware", I have rebooted my computer atleast 10 times and tried to do it 20 times but no succee.
I don't want to go to an Apple Store Genius because they don't know a sh*t than standing there trying to sell/catch their products to people.
Best regards,
Erfan

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

My IPAD2 is stuck on restoring ipad firmware. Whereas, I had unplugged it several times to restore it again; however my IPAD is stuck on the iTunes logo. Please what should I do to restore or get my IPAD working normal again. Please advise,

Hi there,
my Ipad is stuck on the iTunes logo. When I try to restore my ipad again it would get stuck on Restoring Ipad Firmware. I had unplugged it several times; and redo the whole restoring agian but its still the same thing. Please really need your help in how I can restore my Ipad to the way it was before.
please advise,
Alvin

removing volume control doesn't work for me. please don't try. I tried because i have replaced my LCD before and it is easier for me to do so. Removing your LCD will cause whole lot more issue, such as damage to your WIFI antenna, power and volume button, LCD, and all kind of issue.
The only solution that "experts" can tell you is to restore via DFU mode and this WILL NOT solve the issue, or restore with save SHSH, which i believe most of you don't have. DON"T WASTE YOUR TIME AND GET A DEVICE THAT YOU CAN REALLY "WIPE" AND "RESTORE".
So far there is no solution to fix the "Restoring IPAD firmware" or "Updating IPAD firmware". I really don't know why Apple is adding the check after IOS 7 which is causing so many issues for ipad 2. I guess the reason behind is because the warranty expire and perfect time to force ipad 2 user to buy new ipad, which I personally don't feel like much improvement. WHY WE NEED APPLE approves when restoring the device that we already paid FULL price for?????
It is ashamed that the issue caused by update or restore are not covered by warranty too. so stay away from new IOS and it will only brick your device and force you to get new device. it is opened secret that new upgrade for any device will ONLY slow down your device and force you to buy new one, especially when new IOS is not making your FLY.

I wanted to update my iPad 2 from 4.3 to the latest update but I got stuck in the restoring step. I couldn't restore the iPad.
The error message"The iPad cannot be restored at this time because the iPad software update server couldn't be contacted or is temprorily unavailable"

Hello someone9,
There are a few possible causes for this issue, sometimes it is related to Security Software, other times it is related to the internet connection. Let's follow the steps below:
iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
- Install the latest version of iTunes.
- Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
- Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
- Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
- If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
If the above does not resolve the issue, you can also check out this article:

Hi Petesmith643,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like your device is in recovery mode. I understand you would like to back it up before updating to iOS 8.1 but cannot because you are in recovery mode. I would first suggest restarting your device to exit recovery mode.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Cheers,
Joe

"Restoring Ipad firmware" Itunes is showing this message for almost 24 hours now. Tried to disconnect but it said that it could not. It occured when I was trying to dowload IOS5

The Ipad2 I purchased was before IOS5 according to folks at Apple Store. Tried to downloan IOS5 but now Itunes is showing the message "Restoring Ipad firmware" and will not disconnect. The message has been going on now for almost 24 hours. How do I get restore all functions (including IOS5) and get Ipad back?

Hello JD_NINJA,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Check your security software

TS3694 I am stuck with the restore image on the ipod touch. I do not wish to loose all photos and videos on it, I tried everything. help! tried ireb and tiny umbrella.

I am stuck iwth the restore image on the ipod touch I tried ireb and tiny umbrella without success, i do not wish to lose all the pictures and videos what can I do?

Your iPod encountered an error and must be restore.
To get back photos and videos restore:
- Restore from backup
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting photos ony from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Maybe via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

A Restore first downloads a new copy of iOS to your computer. On a slow Internet connection this can take a long time. How fast is your connection? How long would you expect it to take to download 900 MB?
That's assuming nothing is interfering with the download. Some firewalls and antivirus programs will block the download or slow it down. So you should temporarily disable your security software. Security software can also block the update after the iOS download is complete.

I had to restore my iPad recently and in opening Pages again found that even though I synced my iPad and backed it up my files did not come over to the restored iPad. Is there any way of recouperating them? Thanks!

working files aare not backed up as far as I know. You must either 1)"copy to itunes", then use itunes to save as... to your desktop machine. Or 2) use iCloud to keep the docs.
I also learned this the hard way. No way i know of to get the working docs back.

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.

How to restore my phone when it gets stuck during the restoring process?

I have got my Iphone 3gs for just over one year. It was completely fine until yesteray. Out of nowhere it just crashed yesterday and has gone into recovery mode ( kept asking me to plug into Itune) . When I tried to restore it using Itube, it got stuck at the stage where it says 'restoring firmware'. I don't know what else I can do? Please help.
