Ios5 upgrade fails with firmware error on my iPAD (original) - how can I fix this or return to ios 4?

I was offerered ios5 on my perfectly working iPAD yesterday - it failed and left the iPAD unusable
Failure occurs during the restoring: iPAD firmware - error is 1 unknown (log below), I'm using iTunes on Windows 7 and have tried iTunes on Vista - don't have a Mac to try.
Tried all suggestions on Apple support pages and completely different PC, sometimes get some USB errors but log below is most common issue.
Any suggestions - iPAD is now useless as stuck in recovery mode.

Just to conclude, and give hope for any still suffering, I succesfully upgraded my iPAD to ios5 yesterday evening.
I did have a conversation with Apple support a couple of days agao, in line with many others I was given various reasons why things oustide the Apple environment might be the root cause such as
- ports blocked on the network I was using (although when I asked which ones they weren't certain - "80 and 442 we think" was the response
- a fault on the iPAD
- slow network connection
The more interesting part of teh conversation was Apple was that the firmware update part of the install actually involves quite a lot of interaction with apple servers. My conclusion would be that the well documented performance problems in the early days after ios5 release were the root cause of my problem - reference to network ports. iPAD faults were just a smokescreen.
My key learning - don't upgrade soon after a major release, I already knew this but when offered an update I didn't go back and check precisley when it had been released so I should have paid more attention :-)

    Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
    You're ignoring context.  On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers.  The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies.  Then came Lion.  The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest.  (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable.  (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
    People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems.  I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there.  Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
    The people helping here are all volunteers.  None of them is being paid for the time they spend here.  They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities.  It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.

    The messages continues to send info to Apple. Ical will not stay open long enough and  will not allow me to make any changes. My password on google has changed but I do not know how to change it in Ical. Is this just something I will never be able to use again?

    Sorry, no help there. Ical does not stay open long enough to do anything with. All it does is crash and apologise and say it will notify Apple.
    Guess I will just delete it altogether and use google calendar.

  • Songs that I recently added to my iTunes (not purchased from iTunes store) will not sync with my iPod touch 4th generation. How can I fix this?

    I typically download my music directly from youtube. I have never had any issue when it came to putting it on my ipod touch (4th generation). However, today, I downloaded a couple of songs, added them to my iTunes (11.1.4). When I hit "sync" it said at the top that it was "Synching iPod: Steps 1of 3." It went through these steps incredibly quickly, a matter of seconds really, and I went to check it they had synced. They had not. I tried this several times before uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. Even with the re-install, it does not work. I am wondering if it is because these songs were not downloaded directly from the iTunes store. i tried downloading a song from the iTunes store and it is currently in my iPod, so I know that it is able to sync music.  I just started using this version of iTunes as I just installed it on the laptop I just bought (windows 8).

    Was the iPod setup via iTunes on this computer?
    Setup via wifi?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?           
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • I have downloaded the creative cloud desktop app, but the app tab says 'download error', download creative cloud. HOW CAN I FIX THIS

    I am using a mac
    I want to sign up for a subscription to adobe cc. I have recently used fully used my 30 day trial, and when I decided to purchase it, my creative cloud desktop app wouldn't let me. It kept saying I had no internet connection (I tried a few different internet connections to be sure it wasn't my internet). I then uninstalled the creative cloud, as well as all the products. For a while I kept getting error 201, and 207 when I tried downloading the cc app again.
    I have now used a mac cleaner to fully remove adobe. When I tried to download it again, it downloaded fully. But when I click on the apps tab, it says 'Download Error'.

  • I get dotnetnuke an error occurred window in firefox how can i fix this?

    I am trying to load the below url and get the dotnetnuke error window. I can access this page in IE but not in firefox. I have installed the newer version of FF, I have installed the firebug and I also cleared my history.

    I've had this same problem for a while, but I now think it's a DNN problem rather than a Firefox problem. DNN works fine on my home desktop using IE and my work laptop under IE, and also my work laptop using Firefox. I only get this problem at home on my Dell desktop using Firefox.
    I believe this says that we can eliminate it being a cookie problem. IE & Firefox share the cookies, right?
    I also found a number of posts on the DotNetNuke site describing similar problems, but they're all regarding implementing DNN, rather than using it.
    In my case, I'm simply trying to access a parish website: www.holyspiritstl.org which is implemented using DotNetNuke.
    Oh, by the way, one more clue: Firefox on my home computer did work fine for this site for a while. I started getting the error message immediately after using my edit privileges.

  • 9.0.3 Upgrade Moved the Navigation Box from Top to Side How can I Fix this?

    In all my previous version of itunes (5+ years worth), I've used the navigation bar on top of the master library list, I'm sure what the official name is, but it opened on top of the library and I could sort my artist, album or genre. I just upgraded to 9.0.3 and now it only shows artists, and is vertical on the left side of the library. Please help! I hate this change and it's throwing me off completely. I just want to go back to the old way.

    Hi--
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Look at the "View" menu and check out the options in the "Column Browser" submenu. You'll want "On Top". You can also add back your genre column in this submenu.

  • My iPhone 4s will not forward emails with large files, pictures etc attached. How can I fix this?

    How do I get my iPhone to forward or send large files? Such as pictures.

    Check Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging to see if it's set to "On". Check with your carrier to see that your account is properly provision. Check to see if your carrier is a supported iPhone carrier. Not all features work or work properly on unsupported carriers.
    Best of luck.
