IPad reset & restore problem.

Hi, I just initiated the complete reset option at my iPad and in the process, the iPad seemed like re-booting, following which, a screen started to appear having full Black background an USB cable - an arrow - pointing towards the round logo of iTunes. Nothing else is happenning. It looked as if - it's suggesting to plug in the USB cable with your PC/Laptop having iTunes. I have tried all USB sockets as per advice made at the website. But neither window is acknowledging any connection nor the iTunes. Without the iPad, I have tried plugging in just the USB cable which is acknowledged with a connection sound at laptop but pop up notification is generated suggesting that the USB device is not recognized. but the moment you plug in the other end of the USB cable into the iPad, the device driver issue & the popup notification disappears indicating no conflicts in the hardware section of device manager. Can anyone help?

IPad 2 Restore Problem

So I recently restored to iOS 7.1.1 with iTunes. When I was restoring from an iCloud backup a message popped up saying that the restore can't be completed and that I should choose another backup. I looked at the support articles where it's said that I should check iCloud Server Status. There everything was normal. So I selected another backup, but the problem still persisted so I decided to do a restore with iTunes again, but that didn't work. So I decided to set up my iPad as a new iPad and erased all the content and settings. Didn't work. So now I'm stuck here with my iPad failing to get the iCloud Backup data to my device. I never had a problem like this before. Please help!

On the music path ipad app restore problems

Hello!
My name is Georgios Iatropoulos and I use the Greek App Store.
I recently found out that the developers of the "On The Music Path" app don't do business anymore. I did the mistake to uninstall the app in the past, so I erased all of my purchases info. I decided to reinstall the app from itunes, because the app no longer exists in the app store. Everything in the app is working fine. I can see the lessons library and the samples. What I can't do is to buy new lessons, (which I expected), but unfortunately I can't restore my purchases...
I contacted the developers and a guy named Alan was kind enough to answer to my questions. He claims that I should be able to restore my purchases through the buy button and that all lessons are still available through the App Store, but I can't buy new ones. However, when I press buy to the lesson I had already bought, I get the following error:
"Error. Unable to connect to App Store. Please verify your internet connection and App Store settings and try again."
Of course my connection is working fine and my App Store setting are ok, because everything else is working fine.
I also contacted itunes support, and they told me that the can't give me a refund. However, my main concern wasn't a refund, because I prefer tech support in order to get my lessons back!!! In addition, I knew Apple don't do refunds for in app purchases.
So it seems that my big mistake is that I unistalled the app, and I lost my in app purchases record. However, I wonder why the App Store has blocked this app completely and doesn't let me get my purchases back. When I use other apps, App Store knows when you buy something new and when you "buy" something you had bought in the past. Why not with this app? How am I supposed to get my lessons back? I know that Apple isn't responsible for In App purchases, but I think they could provide a better solution to the people who trust the App Store. Providing libraries and samples, but not the bought content is really strange and I think the App Store could be clever enough to distinguish between new purchases and old ones...
Any response would be really appreciated... And I hope App Store will be more reliable with the in app content. Until then I won't buy anything "in app".

Well they may read the feedback, but they don't ever answer. This is not right. I contacted both itunes support, and the developer who owned the company "on the path". The sure thing is that one of them lies. The developer, named Alan Kozlowski, said to me that I can restore my purchases, and that all lessons are available to the store. The app is discontinued, but I had the app saved in my itunes library. Unfortunately this is not true... You can't restore anything... On the other hand Apple says that they don't know anything to help me... The only thing they know is that they don't do refunds.
I also asked Alan to provide me some links to the lesson videos at least after providing him my store receipts... No response... But in the app he clearly states that the customer can have access to the lessons forever... Unless forever means until we discontinue the app without further notice...
I agree that this is not the "apple" way of doing business and we the customers got screwed. That is also why I stopped buying anything from the store for several months now... It's not that I stopped liking apple or the store... I am just afraid of losing my money again.

IPad Air Not Calculating Available Storage Correctly / Restore Problem?

Just purchased a 16gb ipad air, restored apps and data from a backed up/no longer functioning ipad 2. After all apps loaded settings is saying I have 0 of the 12.8 GB available. It also appears that the job finished but the software update page indicates restore is still in progress.     After adding up all the apps and data from the list there is <10gb.
Could the restore action be using up allocated space?
How can I tell what process is running and whether that is consuming the memory?   And, can I kill/cancel it (if it's still the restore)?
What makes me more suspicious is that after I delete a handful of apps the available storage increases "temporarily", then reverts back to 0 available.
I really do not want to reset all apps and data settings and reload manually since I have a few key apps from the old ipad 2 that I need to retain. An suggestions or are there any known problems?
Thanks.

I think I figured it out. I went through my iPhone and turned off a lot of the apps that were slotted to backup and it appears to done the trick as the phone is backing up to iCloud.
The language needs to be broken down where it makes more sense of what's happening behind the scenes during these backups as I think it can be easily miscontrued that it's the data the various specific apps are using which is the issue at hand and not them apps themselves is what's causing the increase in size; some people may think that if they turn these apps off, they are deleting the apps from their devices so they leave them all switched on which ends up bumping up the size and ultimately eating up storage space.
I admit to not really paying attention to what the explanation was saying when I initially got the error message which made me initially post this. Now that I'm rationally thinking, I can see the problem of the disappearing space and am off to turn off a handful of apps on the Air to reduce the storage allotment even more

My 2nd gen iPad woke up today and decided to load all 800 apps, I've reset,restored and still the minute I connect wifi it's off to the races. It is set to manually manage apps. Are there any suggestions?

My 2nd generation iPad woke this morning and decided to load all of my apps 800+ and I don't seem able tp prevent it. It is set to manually manage apps and I have reset, restored and the minute I reconnect with wifi it starts loading. Any suggestions out there on how to correct this?

@chris_l -- yeah I was worried that might be the case, still I'm not sure if that explains why it keeps failing the burn process part way through?
I've tried this and that in Linux but without much luck. I'm still quite a noob with a lot of Linux things and this is the first time I'm trying anything to do with optical disks/drives etc. so I'm learning as I go...
The disk that failed in Windows but was 'readable' in Linux did just pass a run through ddrescue -- i.e. it created an output file okay and did not report any errors in the process.
However when I mounted the resulting image and tried to copy the files across the first folder reported an "input/ouput error" (just using gui copy+paste in Thunar file manager)
...the other folders did copy okay though!
It seems as though it's the lead-in / lead-out and disc finalizing process that are the main fail points with the burn operation. I don't know if InfraRecorder is any good or likely to be the problem? Anyway the drive cam with Nero (inc. Linux version) so might give either or both of these a go too, if they don't work either then at least I wont be short of something to rest a mug o' tea on
@ chris_l (again) -- the Plextor drives do have a "Vari-Rec" feature which allows a user to 'tweak' the laser power / output level so I might try this too.
@alphaniner -- thanks I've not seen this package before, I'm guessing it's a bit like cdparanoia but for dvds?!
Thanks for the help!
(pre-post) UPDATE >>> I've just mounted my Windows partition in Linux so I'll have a crack at burning the files using cdrtools before I resort to throwing the dvd drive out of the window and chasing it around the yard with a lump hammer

TS1702 Over 90 apps bought from Apple store recently all stopped producing sound - have called apple, tried reset, restore, reinstall without any success. These apps were all kids apps. The IPad otherwise seems working ok such as YouTube has the sound sti

Kids' apps bought from IPad , including some free ones to try out, all lost sound recently. These worked fine before since We got them. Couldn't work out the reasons. We have tried reset, restore the IPad and reinstalled these apps but still without success in solving the sound issue. We tried YouTube to see if the sound issue is ipad issue and it youtube works fine and it has sound.
We also doubt it could be the apps issue. because If it is only a few apps lost the sound, it seems maybe it is the relevant apps issue. But when there are so many apps all lost sound, it seems to indicate a problem other than just individual apps. What could it be? Please share your experience and way to solve it if you can. Much appreciated.

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

TS2634 iphone 4s display darkens immediately after starting. has been updated, reset, restored to factory settings, etc. problem remains

caption says it all. we have tried everything. the screen goes out moments after being turned on. there is plenty of battery, it connects to itunes without problem, we have reset, we have restored to faculty settings, we have restored content, firmware has been upgraded.

Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device. Try each of these steps until your problem is solved. If these steps fail to solve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple (or an authorized service provider in your area) for evaluation.

There is no Apple here, this is a user to user forum. When you said you restored, then you restore as NEW?
If you restored as New and still the problem persiist, then it time to take a trip to the Apple store.

Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

In the Advanced tab of iTunes' Preferences what is the time and date of the backup you used for the restore? It sounds like you have a backup that does not contain your dat and such. It may be that when you were having trouble updating a backup was made. Looking at the date might provide some information.
