IPad 2 3G, can't upgrade to iOS 5 (1601 error)

I have an iPad 2  32G with iOS 4.3.5, I want to upgrade to iOS 5 and it drops me error 3002 (wich I can "fix" putting the device in DFU mode) and an unfixable one, 1601 wich doesn't let me upgrade (when it's in DFU), any help?
I have the iOS 5 already downloaded.
I don't have any jailbreak or something like that.
Thanks! I hope you can help me!!

Well, when you click on "update" and it goes partway through and then says it can't continue that does look somewhat error-like to me. :-).  I did do a synch when I first plugged  the iPad into my desktop, but had to upgrade iTunes and reboot before upgrading the iPad OS, so everything should be backed up.  I hope!  I don't know how to check on whether things like my appointments or files that I have created get saved in a synch.  Selecting each of my pictures and emailing them to myself is an option, I guess.
I am new to the apple world and the thought of losing six month's worth of stuff is intimidating.  If only I knew which things would get lost, I'd be able to work with it.
Thanks!

  • An error occurred while backing up this iPad (-43), can't upgrade to IOS 5

    As per title, my XP was just upgraded to iTune 10.5 and the itune music library was also successfully relocated to another drive to make room for the upgrade preparation. According to the pre-upgrade message, my ipad backup just need ~9G space while the space is about 13G. However, there was still system error message as mentioned after 5 minutes of backup. I stopped the upgrade then.
    Any idea about error code (-43)? Tks in advance.

    So you used your own manual back up  after updating , and that worked?
    Im a bit gun shy to try as i dont want to lose my data

  • I can't upgrade from IOS 6.0.1 to IOS 7.1.1. iPad says it has downloaded IOS 7.0.3 but cannot verify the installation. Cannot restore or update in iTunes either. Help please?

    I can't upgrade from IOS 6.0.1 to IOS 7.1.1 on my iPad 2. iPad says it has downloaded IOS 7.0.3 but cannot verify the installation if I try and install it. It claims that I have lost internet connection, which I have not. I cannot restore or update the iPad in iTunes either, if I try to, I get an error message which says that I 'do not have permission to access the requested resource'. I am using the latest version of iTunes on Windows 8. I have tried putting the iPad in recovery mode and restoring it with iTunes, the result is the same.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply, but I've been having this problem for well over a week. If it is a corrupt download, is there some way of deleting it from the iPad and getting a new one?
    Thanks

  • My iPad mini iOS version is 6.0.2  I can't upgrade to iOS 7.  Message displayed is "Verification of update failed because you are no longer connected to the internet."  This happens while I am connected to the internet.  What should I do?

    My iPad mini iOS version is 6.0.2 which I can't upgrade to iOS 7.  Message displayed during verifying upgrade is "Can't verify upgrade because you are no longer connected to the internet". This happens again and again though I am connected to the internet through wifi.  What should I do?

    Reset the iPad and try again. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Reset your router and try again. Unplug your router from power for about 30 seconds then plug it in again.
    Try another WiFi Network. Go to a friend's house, a library, anywhere else that you can use a trusted WiFi network.
    Try updating using iTunes on your computer.

    You wouldn't have messed anything up. Neither the iPAa nor itunes would have offered 6 as an available update or let you update to it.

    As Courcoul mentions you amy still be ablew to get compatible versions of Apps for your device.
    You will have to download the App to iTunes on a computer or another device that does support the App using the same Apple Id you have on your iPad.
    With that done you can follow these instructions from your iPad to get a compatible version:

If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

    i have the old iPad. what can i upgrade it too

    iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5 or Later
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update.

    No, it is not possible. When upgrading the iOS on the phone, the only one you can install is the latest version, which for the iPhone 4 is iOS 7.0.4.

    I no longer have a PC or Mac.  How can I upgrade to iOS 5?

    Your iPhone can be updated to the latest firmware in an Apple Store  but you would lose all the information off your phone.
    If your happy to do this, may I recommend backing up to iCloud once you are on iOS 5.1.1 and then you will be able to perform future upgrades over wifi and restore your phone from your iCloud account should you ever need to in the future.
    The other option might be to back your iPhone upto a friends computer without syncing and this might be the only way you could restore everything back onto your updated phone.
    Also download apps to back up your contacts online so that you can restore them also after the update.
    May I suggest Contacts Backup app which enables you to back up your contacts by email, Dropbox or via USB.
    Hope this helps.

    Got it to upgrade by upgrading it via iTunes menubar instead highlighting iPod in left pane and then attempting to upgrade via the iPod.
    All is well... though this will certainly be frustrating for many/most users.

  • I am using the iPad 3 64 and am an avid photographer . I have been using iPhoto as my editor when I download my pic to my iPad . I have upgraded to IOS 6.  Please tell me why has the delete option has been removed iPhoto?

    I am using the iPad 3 64 and am an avid photographer . I have been using iPhoto as my editor when I download my pic to my iPad . I have upgraded to IOS 6.  Please tell me why has the delete option has been removed iPhoto?

    That was the first thing I check, my X no longer exist, the app still works fine and does everything it did in the past, the the x (delete) option is no longer there.  I have deleted and redownloaded the app and did a complete reset, X still not there as an option.  Is anyone else experiencing this problem? 

  • I can not upgrade the iOS on my phone, nor sync the phone because the process starts with backing up the phone which always hangs up at the backing up stage and then will not allow further progress.

    I can not upgrade the iOS on my phone, nor sync the phone because the process starts with backing up the phone which always hangs up at the backing up stage and then will not allow further progress.
    And for this I guess that it is the backing up of my Podcasts - which are free downloads that causes the hang up. These are items that I have played and synced before without issues. I am thinking this way because these are Podcasts that I used to play but sundenly would not play on my iPhone. Each time I try to play anyone of them it generates the message - this movie could not be played.
    I am scared of atempting a system restore because I guess I may lose my SMS for the past two months. Please approach the solution from this point of view.
    Thanks
    Joe

    Please refer to this thread.

    It may have something to do with one of your backup files that has been corrupted before.
