IPad Mini - IOS 8.1.3 update failing

iPad Mini is failing to update to IOS 8.1.3.
It is reaching the Updating Firmware stage and then returns an error, " Update of your iPad failed due to unknown error " (6).
When I reconnect it to iTunes it asks me to recover and it again is failing to recover to Factory settings.

Hey there Haparari,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPad is in recovery mode after running into an issue updating it to the latest version of iOS with iTunes on your computer. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides troubleshooting suggestions that’ll generally resolve that specific alert message that you’re seeing.
Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
Check your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.
Ciao,

  • 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.

  • Ipad mini iOS 6.1.3 application update

    My ipad mini iOS 6.1.3 reflect 5 application updates.  When I access the panel to install the updates it is not reflecting any updates.  How do I fix this?

    Read one of the dozen identical threads that were posted within the last half hour, or the hundreds that have been posted over the last few days.  Didn't you even glance?

    Okay , you should only delete EMPTY DUPLICATED folders, not preview folders or any others. I would put them all back. Then just delete any DUPLICATED EMPTY folders, do not disturb any other folders. On iOS switch off DOCUMENTS AND DATA under ICLOUD in SETTINGS. Do this on all iOS devices not just the one. Once deleted DUPLICATE FOLDERS on the mac in MOBILE FOLDERS then exit the LIBRARY. Open PAGES on your MAC and view folders on icloud. Check everything is all there as expected. If okay then DELETE and re-install PAGES app on iOS - THEN switch on DATA and DOCUMENTS in ICLOUD. Now open PAGES. If you have Time Machine on you can recover any 'lost' doc files and restore them from your mac from pages application. Try the process again and do not disturb any folders other than ones I mentioned as this is the system files LIBRARY. It is not a place to be over zealous in moving, altering and deleting folders and files. Take care please.

    Sorry, downgrading is not supported by Apple.
    You can look in your notifications and poke through your settings panel. There's a ton of stuff defaulted to on that you may not need, such as background app refresh and background updating of apps.

  • Why can't i open iTunes and App Store in Settings Menu on iPad Mini IOS 7.1.2?

    What happens when you try?
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • I'm using an ipad mini and facebook won't update. What's wrong with it?

    I'm using an ipad mini and it won't update facebook. There's no other updates to do with it and I can download apps. I've had the ipad since about the end of august sometime.
    Thank you

    There are a number of other posts about not being able to download the update to the Facebook app, and I also can't download it (on my iPad nor my computer's iTunes) - I assume that there is a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix

  • I did erase ipad from icloud. My ipad is not turning on now. How can i turn my ipad on. its ipad mini IOS 7.0.4

    "I did erase ipad from icloud. My ipad is not turning on now. How can i turn my ipad on? its ipad mini IOS 7.0.4"
    Pls help m out.
    thanks

    Connect the iPad to a charger, let it charge for half an hour, then try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.
    If that does not work, start iTunes on your computer, connect the USB end of the cable, then press and hold the power button on the iPad and connect the other end of the cable.  Hold the power button for three seconds, and while continuing to hold it, press and hold the home button.  Continue to hold both buttons for ten seconds and then release the power button but continue to hold the home button for another twenty seconds.
    When you release the home button, iTunes should now see the iPad and allow you to restore it.
