I installed iOS 5 on my iPad and unable to Download from iTunes store

I installed iOS 5 on my iPad and unable to Download from iTunes store

Hi all...I just got a solution to the problem. It's foolproof. Connect your iPad to your PC and re-install iOS 6. In case you would like to know how - Click on iPad in iTunes and then click on restore button. Then just follow the steps from there on. It worked for me. I know this is a "not-the-desired" solution, but it will fix your problem. For me it solved another problem - I had noticed a deterioration in speed when I had originally upgraded from 5 to 6. After doing this re-install, I can confirm, there is a noticeable difference in speed...across the board, including Siri responses. Thanks and best of luck.

I have an ipad (IOS 7.1) and downloaded latest version of itunes (11.1.5.5) and downloaded itools (1.8.2.8) but my Itools does not work and message that your itools is not compatible with itunes so please want your comment for that.

SQUIRRELLY Leopard Server and Unable to Backup using Anything!

I upgraded from 10.4 to 10.5.2 Leopard server, and am having some difficulties that I can't resolve.
The server is running on an Intel dual core MacMini, and is primarily used for email. It isn't serving any webpages at the moment. The install was "from scratch" and not some kind of upgrade; only the mail was moved over from the previous server using Mail BFR.
I have been unable to backup the server in any way. I have tried:
• Superduper (2.5) which is how I backed up the previous server without problem
• Carbon Copy Clone
and now
• Time Machine
The first two would run about 2/3 the way thru, and the computer would "freeze" (mouse activity but nothing would work, required hard reset to recover). No logs available as the problem does not leave anything showing the problem.
Time Machine was tried today, and it ran about 1/2 the server (only 18GB) and kernel panic resulted (log below).
Tried all the usual troubleshooting methods; rebuild permissions, ran deep-cleaning, etc.
I hate to have to restart the whole process from scratch.
Thanks

That is definitely the intended operation sorry, this is done so that if you have encrypted the device no one can just plug your phone into a PC and pull all the data off.

Unable to backup using itunes 10.5

Help, I'm at the point of giving up and switching too Android based phone. I have an Iphone 3gs. After installing Itunes 10.5.1.42 my phone no longer backs up, just hangs. I'm using windows Vista SP3. I have tried everything, uninstalling, removing all apple software, reinstalling and also deleted all photo's from iphone. Everything failed. In desperation I did a complete restore on my PC, then loaded all windows updates. After that I used Ccleaner to check registry and also ran it to delete all free space on the disc just in case that was causing the problem. Before loading any other software I reinstalled Itunes and guess what?? still unable to backup, just hangs. This is so frustrating. I also have an old Dell laptop Latitude 600 that is running XP, when I loaded Itunes to that it worked fine. Sync and Backup ok. Is this just a problem with Vista? I'm looking to get an Ipad2 but holding fire, no point if I can't back it up. Come on Apple, you must try and sort this out. I see from other forums many people have the same problem.

OOps...Sorry. My PC is running Vista with service pack 2.

My ipad just froze on me with an error message "this ipad hasn't been backed up for 2 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi. All this has been done including trying to backup via itunes (on my PC). all this still doesn't solve the problem. Anyone have a possible solution?

Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
Note: You must hold both buttons down together.

When I try to update my ipod 3d gen to ios 5.11 and check for the update, itunes says it is on it's most recent software already. my ipod touch is running on ios 4.2.1.

Please help asap, I'd appreciate it alot. thanks.

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

Iphone crash downloading iOS 6 and unable to restore using iTunes due to error 3253

I'm from New Zealand and woke up this morning to find the iOS 6 was available. So after an hour of downloading onto my iPhone 3GS, it wiped my phone, sent it into restore mode. I connected to iTunes - have been trying for almost 8 hours!!!!!!!! and it is unable to download iOS6 due to error 3252, connection resetting and error 23.
have done everything, all firewalls and anti-virus are switched off, upgraded to latest version of iTunes, turned off computer, re set the internet a million times. Won't downald on anyone eses computer in this house, and friends using other internet have the same problem.
My iPhone is now off and will not turn on! What the **** is going on Apple??? I spend a fortune on these products and these latest updates ahve been nothing but trouble!
Please can anyone help, im getting really p@#$@d off!!!!!!!

I had this problem at first initially, and tried it 4 or 5 times. Once I made sure that no other unnecessary software was running, the restore worked successfully. However, it sounds like you've probably tried that. Good Luck.

IPhone 4 (iOS 6) text messages disappeared and unable to restore from itunes. There's more...

I decided against upgrading to iOS7 on my iPhone 4, however I did download some of the latest updates for my apps (which I assume were iOS 7 updates). The next day, all my text messages disappeared.
I tried to restore my phone through iTunes, but it refused to sync. And then it refused to restore completely. I thought I might need an upgrade on iTunes to allow it to talk to my phone. However, iTunes refuses to believe there are any new versions available ( I haven't updated it since early 2013, so I'm sure there's been updates).
I have since been unable to back up my phone and now I'm afraid of:
1. Losing all the new text messages and data I've since accumulated in the last few months and been unable to back up.
2. Losing the old text messages and data stored through iTunes on my mac.
Any advice would be appreciated. How can I sync everything back up? Or at least make sure my old data is saved somewhere without risk of erasing and then somehow get my phone to sync with itunes again.
I suspect that the app updates may have brought this on.
Looking forward to your advice!

GF's phone froze on iOS 7 update and can't backup.

So she tried to update her phone to iOS 7 and now its stuck at the apple logo.
Problem now is that she can't backup her phone since it has a passcode and her phone is stuck at the logo screen.
Is there any work around to this cus she has a lot of photos that she doesn't want to lose.

Same for me. This is a terrible bug that Apple should've thought about before releasing iOS7. I knew I couldn't have been the only one locked out because the Greek keyboard disappeared.

IPhone 4 iOS 6.0.1 upgrade issues; back-up won't load and unable to sync with iTunes

I've just updated my iPhone4 to iOS 6.0.1 and went through the back-up routine. The back-up routine appeared to partially update, displaying an error, however has brought through my contacts, previous messages and has even maintained my bluetooth connection with the car. The phone appears to function ok although it will now not sync with my iTunes and so will not download music and Apps to the phone. I've tried to re-run the back-up however it just hangs with a message box advising that it is 'Estimating time remaining', a message that just hangs there for ages with no apparent actions (by ages I mean 15 minutes +).
Any advice would be much appreciated; to say this is extremely frustrating is an understatement.
Many thanks.

Hello, having the same problem, but the answer by KiltedTim is too simplistic. Butcher60, any news? I have tried removing everything, still the same. It is true that Vista fails loading the driver, but, in my case, I noticed that:
- if you reboot the sistem, the first time you connect any ios device, it is detected either by vista and by itunes. BUT if you disconnect it and connect it again, or connect another ios device, it is not detected enymore, neither by vista nor by i tunes, and you get the message, in managing resources, that the drivers of Apple mobile devices cannot be initialized (code 37)!!! This is so bad when you are doing an update (it is what happened to me), because, if you connect the device the first time, and then start the update, when reaching the point in which the device reboots, it is like connecting it for the second time, itunes does not detect it, and the device goes in recovery mode, so you must use another computer (with XP no such a problem, it seams) to complete it.
- BUT the problem is not only by vista, something happend with itunes 10.7, because I went back to a recovery point before itunes last version, and the driver are loaded by vista every time, only when using itunes 10.7 the same error occurs, and I did not find any solution (because downgrading itunes is not possible)
So, vista worked detecting ios devices before ios6 and itunes 10.7, it works without itunes 10.7 detecting every device, but it does not work with last i tunes. Can someone do something???

My iPhone 5 freezes all the time, can you please help me?

After ios 5 update and restore from backup my passcode doesn't work, what happened?

yesterday iupdated my ipod touch 4g to ios5 and i selected to backup from an itunes backup i made yesterday morning, but after doing so, my ipod went to sleep, and when i tried to unlock it, it told me ipod disabled wait 1 minute, after a minute i tried again but then it said wait 5 minutes, why isn't my passcode working?

Restore from Backup once more. Passcodes are not restored in backups, so you should be able to get on the iPod without a passcode, then go into Settings and set up a new one (or the old one if you want).
