IPad Mini update error 53 after screen replacement

Hello,
I have a new iPad mini. Not too long ago it was dropped and the digitizer scattered. I sent it in for repairs but apparently it fell outside of the repair parameters, as it was a little too shattered? hum hum.
So I went about replacing the digitizer myself, and doing so the Touch ID home button was rendered non functional. I was just fine with this as I could use the iPad just fine without it, and I'm ok with a non functional home button. Problem is when you go to update. You can't update at all, and now it seems that because the home button is non functional, it bricked my fairly new $600 iPad mini by going through the update process (which itunes so gracefully asks you to do every time you plug it in now)
What options do I have here? It really seems idiotic that because of a non functional Touch ID sensor home button that you cannot update the software. This is a really poor design decision.

illigal? i downloaded from an authourized site www.imzdl.com & my method of installation is simple via itunes itself. i still dont understand how it worked evading authorization from apple. but it sure did.
& for your info i downgraded my ipad mini back to ios6.1.3 & now itz back to being perfect.. thx anywayz.

Can't open numbers on my iPhone 5S and iPad mini (1st Gen.) after updating to the new version 2.0.1. Please help!

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.

1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.
Is your iPad working?

How to fix white screen of death on iPod 4g after screen replacement?

How to fix white screen of death on iPod 4g after screen replacement?

I would try to reset it before anything else. To do this press and hold the home and power buttons until the the white screen shows the apple logo (~ 15 secs.).
If this does not work then more than likely the LCD is damaged.
btw- The white screen is common after repairs. The reset fix works 90% of the time.

ERROR 17 ipad mini update IOS 8

I was updating my ipad mini with retina display to the IOS8 . half way trough, the process stoped and there is a black screen with the itunes logo and a cable showing up in The ipad screen . also, there is an "error 17" coming up on my mac. i cannot restore my ipad nor update or have any use to it is just there this is extremly dissapointing and i really need to use my ipad mini

Error 17 is often the result of not being able to connect to the authorization server at Apple when validating an OS update. It occurs after the download and just before the iPad/iPhone connected to iTunes restores the OS software.
If this occurs even though there are no obvious network issues you should check your /etc/hosts file using terminal. i.e bring up the 'terminal' app and type this command:
cat /etc/hosts
If you see any reference to an apple server, such as:
74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
that line needs to be removed or commented out (edit the file and put a # at the start of the line). Don't modify the rest of the file as it is important to the OS during start-up.
Once corrected you should be able to repeat the restore request without encountering the error.

IPad mini retina constantly reboots after iOS 8.1 update - help!

Hello,
I've downloaded on iPad mini Retina 16 GB iOS 8.1 update and installed it directly from the device (so no iTunes involvement). After it got installed with black apple on white screen (process seemed to be finished) - it started rebooting, but instead of starting up it shows shortly (for just a second) blue screen, after goes black and then reboots again - and all this in constant flux: white screen with black apple - blue flash - black screen - white screen with apple. Connecting to iTunes doesn't make anything - it doesn't recognise the device while in state of reboot.
What can I do?
Help!

Hey there,
Got exactly the same problem here. Can't even reset/ shut off the device, so it keeps on flashing with the blue screen.

Ipad mini problem with wifi after update 6.1.3

Hello!
My ipad mini was working fine before the 6.1.3 upgrade, immediately after updating, the wifi stopped working. Restore the iPad to its factory settings as deleting both my data and to reintroduce the network, was still not working.
Help please!

Try this - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Some other things to try:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Why my iPad mini with retina display no sound after updated to iOS8

I solved for my ipad mini retina:
- Go to Settings->General

- Wiggle the slider up and down
- Sound is restored
- You can set the slider back to rotation lock again

Ipad mini will not restore after ios update 7.1.2

Hi Community,
I recieved a message last night about the update 7.1.2 for my ipad mini. I left my ipad on overnight while plugged in while it was updating. i woke up this morning seeing my ipad must be connected to itunes. I connect my ipad to itunes and it must be restored. Every time i try to restore and update the ipad from itunes i get the error code 3004. I have tried hard resetting the ipad, re-downloading the latest version of itunes, and disconnecting and reconnected the usb plug.

Hello, Ronald.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing error 3004.
Resolve network errors
Related errors: 17, 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, 3000, 3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3015, 3194, 3200, or "There was a problem downloading the software," or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build.". These alerts mean that your computer is either having difficulty contacting the Apple update server or communicating with your device.
Check your computer for software or settings that might cause communication issues between your computer and Apple or between your computer and your device.

IPad mini problems with iMessage and screen freezing with IOS 8.3 update

iPad mini screen unresponsive with 8.3 update. iMessage screen is blank or showing only old messages

A word of advice ... Don't make changes before a deadline.
You can still downgrade to 8.2. Might be able to revert to previous version if the ideas below don't work.
See here for your device.

IPad Glitch After Screen Replacement

I had my iPad screen replaced and just got it back today. It turns on okay and is useable... a little. It refuses to let me open certain apps.(ex. App Store) When i type, sometime the ipad wont let me press certain letters or links. I have tried turning the ipad off completely and have reset my settings. Nothing seems to work. I can't tell if my LCD has been damaged or not conected correctly. I use this iPad for school so i need help ASAP.

If you have Restored it both from your backup and as a new device and it still does not work then it is indeed a hardware issue. It could be a defective salvaged screen/digitizer or the logic board.

IPad mini battery draining quick after ios 6.1.1 update

Anyone having battery problems when they updated to ios 6.1.1 ? My iPad mini battery drains quicker than usual

1. Try a reset
2. Backup and restore

IPad Mini will not boot after battery drained after IOS8.0.2 Update

I upgraded to IOS 8.0.2 having skipped 8.0.1 two days ago. I did not notice any unusual problems, but with hindsight a few apps did crash out on occasions, but not consistently.
Yesterday night I let the battery completely drain and I plugged it in to recharge overnight.
This morning I find that logo is still on screen and it doesn't look as if the iPad has recharged. I have tried re-booting a number of times, but it will not progress beyond the Apple Logo. I have tried connecting to iTunes on my Macbook Pro, but no device is recognised.
Having left the iPad sitting next to me while still connected to a charger, I have noticed on a couple of occasions a flash of blue screen followed by black and then the Apple Logo appearing again.
My iPad Mini Retina 128Gb appears very dead at the moment. Any suggestions on revival?
Tony Self

Try to put your iPad into DFU mode and do a full restore this way. To do so, follow the steps below:
1. Open iTunes on your computer
2. Connect your iPad via USB.
3. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for about 10 seconds.
4. Release the Sleep/Week button but keep pressing the Home button until iTunes shows that it has detected and iPad in DFU mode.
5. Try restoring your iPad.
If this won't solve your problem, and you are not able to do a restore via iTunes at all, then take your iPad to an Apple Retail Store because then it is possibly a hardware failure. Here you can find the service options: https://getsupport.apple.com/ProductSelector.action

Typing on iPad Mini is very sluggish after upgrade to iOS7

After successfully upgrading to iOS7 on my iPad Mini things seemed to work beautifullly until I notice that typing (or even keying in my password on the lock screen...) was very sluggish. You type a few words and it gets the first four or five letters then pauses for 10 seconds or more before writing the rest of what you had already typed... It has rendered the iPad Mini nearly unusuable at this point. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone know of a fix?

Ok I update the iPad Mini last night and since then the keyboard is no longer working correctly (The onboard one)
When you unlock the keyboard it freezes as soon as you press one of the number, you can continue pressing the numbers and all of a sudden 5-7 seconds later it clicks and unlocks.
Using the keyboard in anything now causes the Keyboard to freeze for 4-7 seconds and then unlock, then freeze again,
The ipad Mini has nothing on at all so its not apps. It went through fine as well.
In the Diagnostics of the Ipad Mini, There are loads and loads of errors and all say Keyboard crashed, error. So there is a major fault some where with IOS 7. the Ipad Mini you no longer can use with a keyboard.
Help apple or any one.
Im happy to update with some Diag info when im back home.

MacBook Pro Freezing After Screen Replacement

I recently took my MBP in to get the screen replaced due to a screen separation issue. When I got it back it froze every now and then, but it kept continuing. Everytime I restart the computer after a freeze it will freeze up sooner and sooner. At first I thought it was a RAM issue since it particularly did it while watching videos, so I bought new RAM and it continued to freeze. Tested the new and the old RAM, but they were fine. I took it to the Genius Bar and the guy said it was a failing harddrive. Got a new harddrive upgraded to Lion and it is still freezing. I asked if something could have gone wrong when the screen was replaced and he assured me no and even if something had gone wrong they wouldn't cover it unless the actual screen was broken.
If I leave the computer off for a day it will take about 30 min before the 1st freeze, then after restart about 15 min, then 10 min, then 5 min until it will only log in then freeze.
Any guesses as to what could be causing the freezing and if it would be worth fixing as this MBP needs a new battery, a new drive (since the drive is on loan), and has the flickering screen issue?
Late 2008 MacBook Pro
Processor: 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Out of warrenty
Screen Replaced Jan 8, 2012

Thanks for the reply. As an update, I took it into the Apple store again and it froze while they were trying to run the test. This time the guy said it was covered by the repair warrenty. After 2 weeks without a computer because something was wrong with the graphics cards they called me back and said they were just going to give me a late 2011 mid-range MBP. So I currently have a brand new MBP with no issues
Yeah... 3.5 years and they just release that fix for flickering screens. I hope it works for everyone. I know some people had some major issues with it.
