IPad Air 32GB Wifi model, won't turn on, recover, restore, with error 4005 after trying to use facetime, switched off. :( HELP!

bought my mom a new iPad Air 32GB WiFi model via eBay and got it yesterday. It worked all fine and I even updated it to the latest iOS version. It worked all fine for the next few hours until I tried to have a facetime call using my iPad Air. Somehow within few seconds after the call being initialized, my moms iPad got switched off. I tried almost all the solutions I found via Apple community, google and other sites. None of them worked. ( Restore, Recovery, DFU Mode, Pressing Home and ON/OFF switch etc ) Somehow I managed to connect the iPad to itunes and when i press the restore button, I get error 4005 after 5 - 10 mins appearing 'waiting for iPad' message. I am in Sri Lanka and I have no Apple Stores here, or authorized service providers. since this isn't a fault of the ebay seller, cannot return it too. Please help me!

Hi Tom,
Thank you very much for your time and trying to help me on this issue. I really appreciate it.
I went through those steps more than few time since yesterday ( saw you had posted this solution on a similar issue by another user )
still no luck. Now I cannot exit from DFU mode, or either restore it due to 4005 error. ( since its a new iPad, i only had few apps installed. so not going to loose much data as well ). I also try to exit DFU mode by using few third party apps such as Wondershare Dr.Fone, Phone Rescue, ReiBoot, RecBoot. Only wondershare Dr.Fone app showed me a screen with a message saying the iOS device is 'not in normale mode, press home + off/on button to switch to normal mode, which never worked either.
Really appreciate your help but I am open for more solutions other than Restore, Recovery Mode, DFU mode or any method to overcome error 4005. I would also like to know are there any softwares to diagnose the iPad Air to detect whats wrong with it. so that I can be sure if it is a hardware failure or firmware issue.
Thanks in advance,
Nimasha

  • Ipad Air 32gb Wifi MD789B/A and MD789FD/A

    Please can somebody let me know the difference between Ipad Air 32gb Wifi MD789B/A and MD789FD/A

    MD789B/A is the UK Market model
    MD789FD/A  is the German Market model
    Essentially the same. But intended for different markets. A German iPad might not be serviced in a UK Apple Store.  

  • I can no longer speak and woud like to use my Ipad Air 2 WiFi   Cellular to serve as a texting device to replace my phone.  Will using my cell number and Talkatone allow me to text and receive text as I do on my phone?

    A laryngectomy has left me unable to speak over my cell.  I still need to communicate via text and would like to use one device.  I have an Ipad Air 2 WiFi + Cellular that I use to write messages on and would like to know if adding the ap Talkatone and using my cell number will allow me to use my Ipad as my one communication device and not have to carry my phone any more.

        hedrickwireless1,
    I am so sorry to hear that you have lost your voice. I know how important it is still be able to communicate. I apologize as the application Talkatone is a third party application we would not be able to provide details into how the application functions. Please reach out to the app developer for details regarding the application. You can access the developer information under the application details in iTunes.

  • IPhone 4 won't turn on or restore? (Error 21)

    My iPhone 4 will not turn on nor restore. When I click restore it says iPhone could not be restored (error 21). I have taken my iPhone to the Genius Bar at the apple store and they said they cannot do anything because the previous owner of the phone had taken it to a third party location the last time it needed to be fixed. Please help! How do I fix my iPhone?

  • Is MGHY2 a genuine Ipad Air 2 64GB model No?

    Other websites are selling iPad air 2 cheaper. They claim MCHY2 is a model number and MGKL2B/A. Apple support says those aren't UK model numbers and very helpfully don't know what then mean.
    What is MGKL2B/A and MGHY2???

    If I go to the Apple UK online store and add an iPad Air 2 64 gig space grey model then MGKL2B/A is the model number that ends up in my basket : http://store.apple.com/uk/buy-ipad/ipad-air-2/64gb-space-grey-wifi
    e.g. (the model number is bottom right)
    The iPad Air 2 cellular model (silver 64 gig) that is available on the Apple UK site is MH2M2B/A - MGCHY2B/A looks like it might be the model number for Malta (a search for that model returns a number of Maltese sites).

    URGENT need

    I'm not sure what you're asking. If you're asking us to tell you the IMEI for your particular iPad, that's impossible. None of us, your fellow users, will have any access to such information. If you're asking how to find the IMEI for your iPad, that would be labeled as such on the box, or found by these additional possibilities:

  • My ipad mini was overheat and won't turn on,

    my ipad mini was overheat and won't turn on, i brought it on apple service center in trinoma, mall in manila philippines, i wish they replace it or repair it, they said it may take 2-3 weeks for me to know the findings, i've been using my ipad in 6 months, anyone here experienced this problem? thanks

    If the reset doesn't work, you may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad
