Ipad error 37 and white screen HELP!!

Hi,
I have an Ipad 1 not jailbroken and using itunes on a windows xp machine.
Two days ago I had a notification on my ipad showing an update for the ios was available it started to download wirelessly. When I can back to check the device later it was showing a blank white screen. I have connected to the computer which detects the ipad in recovery mode and attempts to complete a restore. Every time this throws up the error 37.
I have disabled all antivirus software tried the update on three machines and two different wireless providers and still returns the same error. It goes fine up until about 80% and verifying firmware with apple servers then throws the error up.
I have tried everything DFU, restore, ammending windows hosts file and nothing.
The ipad is 2 months outside of it's warranty however it was working perfectly up until apples update
Any help will be appreciated

Hi,
Well the apple store was less than useless! They said that it was a hardware failure that apparently occurred by coincidence at the same time as the apple update. the level of customer service is appalling.
In the end after wasting my time with the so called genius staff. They told me without paying 158 to repair it there was no way of fixing it.
So i came home downloaded the latest version of redsnow, jailbroke it, you have to have the most recent redsnow which is a tethered((( jailbreak (if its not the most recent redsnow i was getting the firmware 6000 ms error.
Jailbroke pad and works perfect now, still won't restore through itunes but it works and I've now discovered the benefits of jailbreaking the pad anyway.
will never buy an apple product again though customer service is shocking

    I think we need more clarification.
    What do you mean by "download"? Only updates are available as downloads, the System software has to be installed from a DVD.

  • Black and White Screen

    My Iphone 4 has been shutting down to a black dos like screen with White letters.

    This has been going on since I've tried to upgrade OS6.  It would go to this black screen but eventually come back on with a drained battery.
    ITunes error showed to restore phone back to factory settings so I did but it only worked for 4 days.  Now it's been down for at least 15 hours.
    Any one see this issue before?

    Thank you.  There is not an apple store near by.  I need my phone for work.  My warranty has expired and 13 month into contract is too early for the 18 month early upgrade.  I reset the device and plugged it in to Itunes and restored it again.  The part that confuses me and perhaps why i didn't work last time is...Restore to new phone or Restore to my iphone back up so I always choose my phone but perhaps this doesn't bring it back to factory settings.  I just don't want to loose my contacts.  It is working now but it's probably just a matter of time before it the black and white screen come back up.  I think it;s a system update issue.  I'm going to call Apple.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    did you already delete the ipsw software file on your computer to make iTunes download a new copy from the Apple server to restore your firmware from?
    Also try to restore without using the existing backup, it might contain damaged files causing the behavior of your ipod.
    iwps files are stored here:
    XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
    7 and Vista: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates

  • Color switches to a black and white screen after login

    iMac 700MHZ Graphite 10.3.9 color issue. When I am logging in the screen is in color but after login when it switches to my desktop the color also switches to a black and white screen. The other user of this computer does not have any problem with the color on his desktop. Has anyone run into this problem before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank You

    Go to System Preferences>Universal Access, the 'Seeing' pane and uncheck 'use greyscale'.

  • Hello, I have an Ipad 2 and the screen has broked. I need to know the price in US to change it.

    Hello, I have an Ipad 2 and the screen has broked. I need to know the price in US to change it.

    Apple does not repair iPads, but will replace the entire iPad for a flat fee. If you have AppleCare+ on the iPad, the cost will be relatively minimal; $49 in the US. Otherwise, select the appropriate issue on this page:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/repair/
    and look at the Out Of Warranty Cost section.
    There are independent iPad repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipad repair".  You can also look for parts and instructions and do the repair yourself. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPad serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform your own repair, you will get no further support from Apple.
    Regards.

  • Went to use my ipad tonight and the screen is blank except for a little circle going round and round and I ccant switch the device off

    Went to use my ipad tonight and the screen is black with just a small circle in the middle going round and round.  I thought i would switch it off but it wont let me do that either.  HELP

    Try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear and it should reboot - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I dropped my ipad 2 and now screen is green

    I dropped my ipad 2 and now screen is green.  ipad 2 Wi-Fi 16GB.

    I dropped my iPad today and immediately the screen was completely distorted.  Colors changed, images fuzzy, slow as can be, very hard to turn off or turn on.  I googled my problem and came to the https://discussions.apple.com site to read what I should do.  Not surprisingly, other people had this same problem.  What is INCREDIBLE is the way they suggested to resolve it.  I was hesitant at first but since SEVERAL people all said that it worked, I figured to give it a try.  A few people suggested SLAPPING THE BACK OF THE IPAD, NOT GENTLY, BUT FIRMLY.   A few good slaps and it looked a bit better.  Then my husband decided to DROP THE IPAD FROM ABOUT 2 FEET IN THE AIR ONTO THE CARPET, in a totally horizontal position.  THE SCREEN IS NOW PERFECT!! 
    For the last 2 or three weeks, the iPad has been very slow to load my apps, turning on and shutting down.  AS SOON AS I DROPPED THE IPAD, as described above, THE IPAD IS FAST, FAST, FAST. 
    I know, it sounds ridiculous that this should work, but it did.  I am certain that an Apple techie would never suggest this as a solution, but I swear to you, this has worked.

    Try this First... No Data will be Lost...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons..
