Ipad 3 restoration

I'm trying to restore my ipad 3 but i keep getting the 3194 error. I have tried all the solution options provided but i still getting the apple logo flashing on and off on the screen.

Related errors: 17, 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, or 3000-3999. These alerts refer to gs.apple.com, say "There was a problem downloading the software," or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build."
Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.
Thanks,

  • I have the Watchtime app on my iPad (1) and after an iPad restore my purchased items in the watch time app will not restore, however the items appear for purchase. how can i get the items to restore.

    Puchased items in my watchtime app will not restore to my ipad (1) after an ipad restore. The items appear ready for purchase. how can i restore the items.

    Following ultimately helped me : Make sure that you are logged in at the App Store App or iTunes App with your apple ID and password with a US account. Turn your iPad off and on and than you should see the Radio button again. It won't work if you are logged on with a foreign account. If you are not logged in at all, it worked, too.

  • What are the steps in Apple Configurator iPad restore? It appears to me that Configurator repeats steps, but it probably is that I don't know what happens and when.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can get a clue to what it is, and potentially use it, by going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and clicking 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have, or don't want to use, your rescue email address (you won't be able to add/change it until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset (which will be by phone as they need to verify your id - we are fellow users here on these forums).
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add/change rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • Ipad restore fails error 2003

    Was loading latest iPad update and it hung.  Itunes indicated the iPad needed to be restored.  Clicked on restore and received error 2003.

    Same thing here.  I have an iPad 2 that was running iOS 5.0.1.  Everything worked fine when without any kind of sync over cable or wifi, all apps including free and purchased ones disappeared.  When I did connect it to iTunes, all apps were unchecked. So, I checked my apps, did a sync, and they all returned but missing all app data.
    Long story short, things got a little flakey and I wanted to start from scratch so I plugged my iPad in to install the factory default firmware but I get the following error, " The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (26)." Tried this in DFU mode and in regular restore mode (when the iPad screen says to connect to iTunes). I tried different versions of iTunes and machines, OS 10.6, 10.7, and Windows 7, all giving the same error.  When attempting a restore, it goes through "Extracting software, Verifying iPad restore with apple, preparing iPad for restore, waiting for iPad, preparing iPad for restore, verifying iPad restore."  After the progress bar on the iPad is there for about 30 seconds, ERROR. I tried different things for hours with iOS 5.0.1, and I also get the same error with iOS 5.1, which was released today.

  • Had my ipad restored today and cant find a book i downloaded is there any way to locate and reload the book without purchasing it again

    I had my ipad restored today and cant locate a book I purchased in IBooks. is there a way to locate this book ithout purchasing it again

    As long as the book is still in the store, and you haven't changed countries since buying it, then it should show in the Purchased tab in the iBooks app on your iPad for redownloading. If it's still in the store but doesn't show in Purchased then check to see if it's hidden : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.

  • HT1414 when trying to restore my ipad gen 1 it hangs on "Verifying ipad restore with Apple" then returns an error 1602

    I have tried to restore my ipad gen 1. When it gets to the Verigying ipad restore with Apple" it seems to hang then returns the error 1602. I have the black screen on my ipad so cannot get to the shut down bar. The ipad has not been tampered with or jail broken. it suddenly would only show the apple symbol for 5 or so seconds then go to a blank screen and then 30 or so seconds later show the apple symbol again. This only happens when plugged into its factory charger.

    Have you tried the troubleshooting on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1603 ?

  • My ipad restored to someone elses account. how do i fix?

    My ipad restored to someone else's account. I also noticed when connected to itunes my serial number does not show. How do i fix?

    I used my laptop. It has all my itunes and idevice info on it. I even have a stored backup in itunes from a previous time. After talking to the friend that created this problem I found out that he was trying to unlock an ipad he purchased but was disabled or locked. He used WinScp to try and recover info off that ipad, That did not work so his sorry @#$ hooks my ipad up to WinScp and did something to where when I, [later on] discovered none of my apps would open. I hooked my ipad up to the laptop that only my ipad is authorized on and tried to restore it and that's when it happened. After the restore my ipad showed an activation screen to someone other than me. Itunes doesn't show my serial number at restore screen. I tried diagnostic scan and it reads it but i cant get itunes to restore my info and apps.

  • Verifying ipad restore with apple takes too long

    I did all the steps as guided to restore my Ipad the 3rd. However, it seems to get stuck with the message "verifying ipad restore with Apple". How can I restore?

    Not sure if you are using iTunes or not. However, detach iPad if connected to iTunes, go to Settings, Reset (scroll to the bottom), Erase all Contents and Settings .... and start again!
    If you cannot get out of the current screen o do the above then do a Reset first [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

  • How long does verifying iPad restore with Apple take after upgrading?

    How long does verifying iPad restore with Apple take after upgrading iTunes?  It's been hours & my pc won't let me close because of it.

    Should happen immediately...are your firewalls & anti-virus software turned off? If not, turn all of that stuff of & try again.

  • I don't have safari on my ipad, restored it but it still isn't there

    i don't have safari on my ipad, restored it but it still isn't there

    Not possible to delete any of the apps included with iOS.
    If you have Restrictions enabled on your iPad, check if Safari is turned on as a restriction which will prevent the app from appearing.
    If not, the app has been moved. Double check every home page within every folder.

  • Email no longer works after an iPad restore

    I've tried reinstalling my two email accounts through Settings since doing a restore of my iPad 2, under iOS 7.1.2. I can no longer get either account to send or receive, despite many efforts. Internet works fine.
    In both cases I have POP accounts (and please don't sidetrack this with remonstrations that I should use IMAP). One is Gmail and the other is a local provider. They used to work, they don't now.
    One thing that has changed is that, as I understand it, Gmail POP accounts can no longer be set up through the "Exchange" option, as I was able to do three or so years ago. Instead I've seen it suggested that I set up the account through "Other". The "Google" setting appears to be for IMAP accounts only.
    I've been unable to find clear instructions through Google's help. So far the Google Accounts Team has offered me only generic config settings — not specific to Mail — that don't solve the problem. Ideally there would be definitive screen-by-screen instructions somewhere but I haven't any that work for me.
    Please help!

    App opens to blank screen, the borders of the different sections are there.  stays for 10 seconds or do then crashes to the home screen.
    interesting note I was trying to send an email with 22 photos before this started happennig(app crashed then as well)
    closed the app
    restarted
    home/lock reset
    tried all of the above multiple times
    i was able to send an email from pdf expert no problem just now, just for kicks and it was recieved and I got a notification that it was recieved.

  • IPAD restores applications but not data or files associated with applications

    1) Today Itunes prompted me to update the OS on the IPAD.
    2) It warned me to back up IPAD before I did.  I did
    3) I updated software.
    4) It returned with an error saying it could not install software and I must restore to facotry settings
    5) I resotored to factory settings
    6) After that I attempted to restore contents of my IPAD from Itunes on my Windows 7 machine. 
    7) It restored only music but no applications and no other information
    8) I spent all day on the phone with Apple Support who managed to get the applications restored by going through one by one and syncing.
    9) It took a few hours
    10) After I finished I noticed that files/documents associated with various applications like Kindle, Goodreader, Penultimate Notes were missing on the IPAD.
    11) I have made a few phone calls to Apple and thy claim the following: "Apple is not responsible for restoring files or data associated with any applications, only the application itself.  It is your responsibility to contact the application developer to get your files restored."  This sounds patently absurd to me. I spent half an hour explaining the absurdity of this claim to the Apple representatives but they are firm and non-wavering in this opinion.  One even claimed that restoring does not restore applications which of course is not correct.
    12) I gave them the example of MS Word on MacBook Pro. If I save/back up on another machine and then restore back to the original machine I would expect to be able to see the Word files I had created and saved.  That in particular the failure to view them would not be Microsoft's responsibility but Apple's.  They disagreed saying it would be between me and Microsoft and the Apple devices had nothign to do with saving or successful restoring.
    13) So I have lost all e-books purchased on Kindle, plus all documents saved on Goodreader application, notebooks on Penultimate applications, and my children’s drawings on their drawing applications.  Apple Support say I should contact each application vendor to try and recover the missing data.  They refuse to tell me how to get it from ITUNES backup stored on my Windows 7 machine as they say it will not be there. 
    They have asked me to write to
    Apple Customer Support,
    Holly Hill,
    Cork,
    Ireland
    quoting case number 319718819.

    Did you try restoring from a backup of the iPad? If you have a backup with all of your app data and files, that should restore all of that content to the device.
    No - restoring does not restore applications. You have to either sync the applications back from iTunes on your computer, or you can download them again, BUT ... All of your data, files and device settings are stored in your backup. Do you have a backup in iTunes .... Edit>Preferences>Devices - that should show you all of your iDevice backups.
