IOS 7 upgrade problem forced factory reset

I decided to try IOS 7 on my iPad 2. That was a huge mistake! After several attempts to download, it finally completed. The Install button was finally active, so I tried to install, and it indicated that the update was not available. I tried this several times with no luck. Finally I decided to try it from the PC. I loaded iTunes and saw that there was an IOS software update available, but in order to do that I had to upgrade iTunes to 11.1. Well, the Download iTunes Update button clicks but doesn't actually do anything. I eventually wound up just going to iTunes and downloading it again. It went through the install and finally updated.
So I connected the iPad and it tried to load the IOS 7 update. In the middle of that iTunes just closed, no errors, nothing. Opening it back up, it tells me I must reset my iPad to factory settings. At this point I'm boiling, but I went ahead with it because I figured I would be able to just restore from a backup, which I fortunately created before all of this started.
Well, iTunes was able to load the IOS 7 update on the iPad, but after it restarted from the factory reset, things have once again taken a turn for the worst. Now when I connect the iPad, it tries to access iTunes store, and tells me it can't, and to check the network and try again. Everything else that I do online is working fine from the PC so I know it's not that, but I restarted anyway. No change.
So now I have an iPad 2 with IOS 7 in factory reset state, that I can't restore from backup or even get connected in iTunes. I only bought this iPad in the last month, so I supposedly have 90 days support from Apple, but every method I try to get support for it is either to send it in or take it to an Apple store. This is a nightmare. What should I do?

My iPad 3 downloaded ios7, rebooted, started to execute the installation (same as my iPhone did).
Then it got hung up half way through the execution.
Have stared at the boot screen with a bar showing half-loaded for 12 hours.
Several times tried hard reboot. Keeps getting stalled at half way.
About to turn it into a discuss and throw it into the ditch!!
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!

  • Problem about factory reset my iphone 4s

    My boyfriends has very big problem after he try to download iOS 8. He forgot an Apple ID password so he tried to sign up new apple ID and found that iCould still ask about old Apple ID password. He tried to type every but it wasn't work and then it was LOCKED. Unfortunately, his old email was deleted. He can't reset his password and forget about questions for reset password in iforgot.apple.com. Eventually, iforgot.apple.com is also LOCKED. I don't know what should he do? it shows notify that "This apple id has been disabled security reasons".
    Any one can you help me? Thanks for your kindness suggestion

    I found in internet that factory reset can restore everything
              --> I try to reset in Setting> General> reset> Erase all Content and Settings. --> it ask for passcode I type usually passcode that use for unlock screen but it's not work. I don't know why?
              --> I try to use reset via iTune but it asked me to close "Find My iPhone" first. But I can't because, I don't know password for iCound .

  • Problem with factory resetting Airport Express

    I am trying to do a hard factory reset my airport express. I want to reset it to the factory default so that I can change the settings so that it connects to my comcast wirless modem. I followed the instructions on the apple support site. I held the reset button will the device was unplugged and then plugged it in while still holding the reset button. I held it until the green light flashed four times. But the stupid thing will not reset at all. Just the same blinking orange light. No green light. And of course, non identifiable on airport admin utility. This is really frustrating. Anyone know how to solve this problem.
    Thanks

    I have the exact problem described by AKAPLG. I've tried EVERYTHING with no good result.
    - My network does NOT show up in AirPort Utility (and even the old Airport Admin Utility)
    - Even after hard reset I can still see the old name of my network but am still unable to join it.
    - I've tried connecting directly with Ethernet to my MacBook Pro, but it is unclear what I'm supposed to do next, the manual doesn't mention this at all. When it's connected I do not see my AX in the AirPort Utility menu when I rescan.
    - The "Factory Reset" described by the booklet that came with the 802.11n device is inconsistent with what I see when I try it. I get a single green blink followed by a long solid yellow (sorry Amber) followed by blinking amber. I never see 4 green blinks, as described.
    This is the worst Apple experience I've ever had. Period. Any more advice please before I take this POS back to the store and trade it for a punch in the ribs or a hot stick shoved in my eye?

  • Problems with Factory Reset on EPC3925

    After performing a factory reset on my router, I am unable to log into the router in order to set up or change my wireless settings.
    The default admin/password login does not work (I've tried all combinations), and I am only able to login as a guest user (blank username/password), which does not let me change any settings.
    It is also stuck on bridged mode (router page is 192.168.100.1 instead of 192.168.0,1), which I am unable to change both due to both the lack of admin account as well as the fact that the factory resets do not revert it to router/non-bridged mode.
    Any help at all on how to log in and change these settings would be very much appreciated -- thanks!

    Hi CheshireCat and Welcome to the Cisco Home Community.
    The EPC/DPC3925 is an internet service provider (ISP) supported product. In other words you need to contact your ISP or technology reseller that you purchased this from to help you with your question.
    However I did a search and found the DPC3925/EPC3925 manual that may help you: http://manual.upc.ro/pdf/epc_3925.pdf

  • Probleme beim Factory Reset, Miix 2 - 8

    Hi,
    ich habe das Lenovo Miix 2 - 8, 32 GB, seit Juni im Einsatz und auch bereits einmal erfolgreich den Factory Reset durchgeführt. Jetzt wollte ich es wieder machen und nach dem anwählen im Bootmenü soll ich einen Windows Datenträger einlegen, da Dateien fehlen?
    Habe auch Versucht über Windows den Reset zu machen, gleiches Ergebnis, benötigt Daten-CD.
    Ich habe die Partitionen definitiv nicht verändert oder angelangt, sind alle 5 noch da.
    Einziger Unterschied ist, dass ich auf Windows 8.1 upgedated bin. 
    Gibts da noch was zu beachten bzw. wo kann das Problem sein?
    Ich habe mir noch einen USB Stick bestellt (mikro) zum direkten anschließen. 
    Ich wollte mal versuchen die 5. große Partition sichtbar zu machen, um dann über Windows einen Wiederherstellungsdatenträger zu erstellen. Dann booten und hoffentlich wird der Stick angezeigt.
    Trotzdem blöd, kann ja eigentlich nicht sein. Kann ich sonst noch was tun? testen?
    Wäre das ein Garantiefall?
    Gruß
    Hans

    Hi,
    I have the same issue... I can't play any game without come back to start unexpectedly.
    Did you ever fix it?
    Thanks

  • How to recover pictures deleted due to forced factory reset?

  • IPhone 5 constant crashing after iOS 8.0 Update and Factory Reset!!

    So...thanks Apple! You completely bricked my phone with the most recent update.
    Status since 9/17....
    * Performed iOS 8.0 update via iTunes on my iPhone 5.
    * No issues whatsoever until Saturday 9/20 around 5pm
    * Phone starts reseting incessantly about every 5-10 minutes.
    * Performed hard reset. No luck.
    * Uninstalled apps since update. No luck.
    * Noticed upon some crashes the screen goes totally janky (maybe graphics chip failure?)
    * This morning decided to run full factory reset, hoping all would be fixed.
    * Resetting issues start almost immediately and are continuing.
    I'm not too excited about going into the Apple store given all the iOS 8.0 issues and fan-boys buying the newest 6 (holding out for 6s if possible).
    Has anyone else out there had a similar experience?
    Thank you in advance,

    SO, the constant reboots have stopped, but now have significant charging issues.
    * % charge doesn't increase on multiple different charging cables
    * hard reset doesn't solve

  • MSI neo2 platinum problem, forced to reset BIOS everytime I turn on the PSU

    I just got my neo2 platinum mobo. Everytime I switch it ON all the led's at the back (diagnostic) turn red/orange and never turn green.
    I have to reset the bios everytime to get it to post successfully. (bios is the original bios, no flashes done)
    Processor: 3000+ (939)
    Anyone else have this problem? what causes it?
    [update] the bios version is 1.3 which is the latest on the msi website
    System Specs..
    AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 90nm (socket 939)
    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
    1 GB Kingston HyperX DDR 400 CS2
    SBlive
    Nvidia GeForce4 Ti4200 128MB MEM
    Logitech MX510
    1x80GB WD HDD with 8MB cache
    1x120GB WD HDD with 8MB cache
    Lite-On 48x CD-RW
    NEC 16X DVD RW Drive
    RAIDMAX Black Aluminum Gaming Case with 6 case fans and 420W PSU

    I think the power supply may be the problem
    Once you reset the bios you don't need the amps to spin up the drives, as they are already spinning, saving you about 3 amps I bet. If the newer bios doesn't help, try unplugging half those case fans, the non boot drive, and take the cd's out of you optical drives so they dont spin up, then try cold booting your box a couple times. If it works you know you need a new power supply.
     If it doesn't perhaps you've got a grounding problem? Are you positive that nothing metal is touching your motherboard where it shouldn't? If that isn't it, Id  assume the cmos never really clears, and then take the battery out of the motherboard for a good hour while the power supply is unplugged, then give it another shot. I've seen a bunch of DFI boards do weird stuff like that before, the exact same thing actually. Nvidia has a few odd issues with the nforce chipsets and the cmos.
    Oh, since you asked, 3000+ is 1.8 ghz. It will probably run at 2.4ghz easy (1.4 volts), thats a 90nm chip

  • Time capsule setting up problem after factory reset

    What's the next step after factory reset to set up my time capsule again???
    i did factory reset for 4-5 times and i cant use my time capsule to create a network, join an existing network or anything else.
    i also tried normal reset but still nothing can be done.
    There is always a message at the end " an unexpected error occured. Try again"

    Plug the TC into the computer by ethernet..
    Make sure the computer has no other network running and nothing else is plugged into the TC.. just TC Lan port to the computer ethernet.
    Now press reset and open airport utility.
    Generally you will have no issue once it is isolated. Do the setup and then you can disconnect and put it back in the network.
    If it doesn't work, is the LED on the TC flashing amber or what??
    Is the ethernet port connectivity LED on?

  • IOS 5 Upgrade Problems and Solutions

    Thought it might be good to have a repository thread for folks having difficulty with the upgrade to iOS 5.
    Here's what I experienced:
    The download was fast (fast wired internet) but the install was long and buggy.  For some reason many of my apps didn't show up after the initial install and my music/podcasts/videos were all missing.
    Turns out the phone had a large block of memory reserved (listed as OTHER) after the inital install.  I did a sync without music to get the missing apps back on the phone, put the missing apps back in their proper folders, then synced one more time to put my music/podcasts/videos back on the phone.  All was fixed!
    Anybody else have problems and solutions they can share?

    went on my iphone under settings and restored back to factory settings, (not data just the factory settings for iphone) 
    and this fixed the problem, ios 5 update with no further problems. 
    hope this helps.

    Jim- 
    Was this just for the Interal Error with no number reference or for the 3200 reference? I tried this with the plain Internal Error to no avail. I have an appointment with Apple in 45 min so hopefully I can return good news. Here's hoping!

  • Ios 6 upgrade problems!

    Since I have upgrade to ios 6 my iphone 4s storage is moving between 0GB available to the 5.5GB wich is available normally. As well as a lot of problems in the connection of the email app both exchange and GMAIL. Please help!! Thanks

    Update: Maybe it's an issue of updating iTunes and iPhone one right after the other?
    I updated my iTunes. It prompted me to restart my computer, but I didn't do it straight away. Then I went to try and update my iphone. And that's when I had the issue above.
    It just occured to me that maybe it's cos the iTunes update wasn't completely finished?
    So I restarted my computer, restarted iTunes, accepted the licence agreement for the new version of itunes, and THEN tried to update my phone again. and it worked. in like 2 minutes flat.
    If you're having this trouble, have you just updated iTunes too? Have you restarted your machine since? Try restarting your computer and then see if that helps.
    wish I didn't have to lose all the data off my phone to figure this out.....

  • Problems after Factory Reset (Os X 10.8.5) (Quicktime)

    I've been having problems with my wi-fi and problems with my Macbook Pro shutting off and not wanting to power on over the past few weeks.  So, today I did a factory fresh install of my OS.  I noticed a problem with Quicktime videos stuttering when I maximize or minimize the video.  It only does it during that task.  I can fast forward it or rewind it without problems.  My wi-fi seems to be back to normal, but my Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter is quite slow.  Not sure why..  Other than that, everything seems to be fine.  Starts up and shuts down good, and doesn't shut off randomly.  The Quicktime issue is not a huge one, but very annoying and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.  I am a DJ and I like to preview all of the videos I get. 
    My laptop is
    -2.3 quad i7
    -8 gb ram
    -1 gb gt 650m

    Can't remember if the Display menu bar icon was removed in Mountain Lion like it is in Mavericks, which makes it harder to switch between Extended Desktop and Mirroring.
    First try going to Apple > System Preferences > Displays > Display tab and see if checking "Show displays in the menu bar" is still available..?
    If it is, then you should still be able to select between Extended Desktop (Mirroring Off) and Mirroring On from the menu bar or by opening the Display Preference from there.
    If it is not, try > Mac App Store - Display Menu which will give you the Mirror Displays option on your menu bar.

  • Recovery problem or factory resetting error

    I have HP pavilion dm4 - 1070ee. I tried to recovery as factroy setting but recovery manager display that u don't have recovery partiton. but i alredy have recovery partition and recovery disk too. both are not supported. i tried by many diffrent way like: f11 key system restore but i can't . now i have change BISO driver too and some other drivers may be change too but all driver i installed from swsetup from my laptop. Pease give me the ideas that how do i can solve it?

    If you boot from disc 1 of the recovery set, it should start the recovery process.
    Put disc 1 in the drive and close it, restart the PC and when you see the HP logo start tapping F9 repeatedly and fast, you should get a boot device menu, select the cd/dvd drive from the list and hit enter key a few times, is should boot from that disc and load HP recovery.
