IPad gen 1 stuck in recovery mode unknown error 37? How do I fix it!?

Upgraded to latest OS and now the iPad will not recover. White screen and every time I try to recover on iTunes (tried on both mac/pc) it fails with unknown error 37. The tips tell me to turn of some firewall settings but this does not help. Any suggestions? Thanks!

This error may occur when security software (not only a firewall) is blocking certain things.

  • I have an iPad that is stuck in recovery mode.  When I try to restore the firmware, I get an unknown error occured (1611).

    I have an iPad that is stuck in recovery mode.  When I try to restore the firmware, I get an unknown error occured (1611).  Does anybody have a solution for this?

    There is a way to get it recovered from the so called DFU mode. Try to restart the phone while holding the home and power button at the same time. Then try to connect it to iTunes and do the same again. If you try that again till it works you should be able to use your iPhone as before.

  • First gen ipad stuck in recovery mode with error 28

    I have a first generation ipad that is stuck in recovery mode (just shows the itunes logo all the time).  I have tried putting it in dfu mode and restoring it from itunes.  It gets to the point where the computer reboots the ipad and says that it is beginning the restore, but the progress bar never fills up on the ipad and I get an error 28.  It charges and docks fine.  The battery holds a charge for a long time.  The water indicator is still white.  I don't see any visible damage anywhere on the ipad.
    I have checked the firewalls on my computer and tested the cable.  Both are fine.  I have also tried using another computer, but I get the same results.
    Could it be a bad dock connector even though it charges and is recognized successfully by itunes?  One of the support forums said that error 28 was a hardware issue, but is there any way to tell what is bad without having to take it in to Apple?  It would cost too much to have it serviced, with it being a first generation, so I was hoping that someone out there had some ideas that could help me save it and not have to sell it for parts.

    A simple search of the forum for "error 28" yields may results, one being...
    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 37
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • My iPod (4 gen) is stuck in recovery mode and it will not restore. How do I fix it?

    So here is what happened: my iPod went dead and when I went to plug it in to charge I noticed it wasn't doing the normal little battery charging symbol nor did it pop up with the apple symbol. When I opened up iTunes it told me that my iPod was stuck in recovery mode and that the only way to fix it was by restoring it. As much as it pained me to do so I did it anyways. It did the routine update and restore window, I waited the 28 minutes, but still nothing. Now when I go to restore it a window pops up that says that the iPod cannot be restored because the iPod update server cannot be contacted or is currently unavailable. I'm at a loss. This the the only form of communication that I have available to me and I need it fixed A.S.A.P. Please help!
    Additional Details
    My iPod is NOT jailbroken.
    Now it says and unknown error occurred (3194) please help!
    The lock/hold button on my iPod is broken. My iPod cannot be locked, unlocked, or shut down using this button.

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

    yes i am sure. This are the exact words... "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. The disk you are attempting to use is full. (Removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space". i tried some options, hard reset, redsnow, tinyumbrella but still it's stuck.

  • Hi, my ipod 5th gen is stuck in recovery mode because i tried to get the ios 7 on it and now i just want it back to it regular ios i please need help

    hi my ipod 5th gen is stuck in recovery mode ive tried everything and nothing is working

    Only developers have access to the iOS 7 beta and then also have access to the developer forum. Thus, if you are a developer go the the developer's forum.
    Otherwise you have a bootleg coy of iOS 7 and are on your own.
    PSA: iOS 7 If you're not a developer, don't install developer betas on your iPhone | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause this error. Contact the software manufacturer that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows:How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Happy Holidays!

    4th Gen IPod stuck in recovery mode, how do I reset or restore?

  • TS1286 ipod stuck in recovery mode/usb error

    My ipod touch 3rd gen is stuck in recovery mode but when i try to recover using itunes i get error message the Ipod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
