IPad Restore Error

I recently purchased a new iPad from overseas and had my friend install applications on it via his itunes on his computer. It was working fine until my kids (2-3 years old) set a passcode while they were playing with it and I can no longer access to it. Of course those troublemakers haven't even learned to read and write but screw things up.
I searched online trying to solve the problem myself and found 2 solutions:
1. Sync with the original itunes it had synced with to remove the passcode.
2. Restore to its factory default via itunes
Problem with the first solution is my friend is on a trip and it will take a month till he returns.
Problem with the second solution is while trying to restore my iPad I got the following error "iTunes could not connect to the iPad because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPad before it can be used with iTunes".
I tried to reset the ipad holding down the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously. Then tried to restore it again but got the same error.
iTunes's version is 10.0.1.22
iPad is the latest one.

My one is Ipad 2 Wi-Fi.

IPad Restoring Error

My brother forgot his iPad password and got it wrong until the iPad showed:"iPad is disabled, connect to iTunes". So I connected the iPad to iTunes, and I restored it. But when it finished processing data, it suddenly displayed the error sign. This already appeared more than once when I was restoring the iPad, and I had to shut it down and turn it on many times. And now it can't restore. Well, it has finished restoring but then error again. Can anyone tell me what should I do? It's really frustrating.

IPad Restore Error 1600, 1601.

Hi, receiving errors 1600, 1601 when restoring iPad1 despite using latest iTunes, OSX and troubleshooting USB connections and ports. Any ideas people? Thanks!

I just experienced the same errors on a restore, tried multiple times. Someone came up with the suggestion to try it on another machine. I loaded iTunes on an older PC, attached my iPad and it started and finished in short order the restore. I moved the restore file from the original pc to the older one in the same location as it was on the unit that gave me the errors. Then when it worked, it attached to the original machine and synced my apps back that were in that iTunes version.

Ipad restore error 4014

everything was running well then all of a sudden screen pixeled and now the ipad is dead? help!
now no power and in restore mode, I was given error 4014 - could not restore

I Have the same problem. I also have the iPad 4 wifi & cellular 32gb. Owned it from new since November 2012. Tried everything possible but still nothing. I have spoke to apple via chat & on the phone & they advise me that this will need to be booked in for a service at my cost as its out of warranty! I don't think so...
Guys..what you don't get told is that the one year warranty you get with apple, also applies for 6 years after purchase ( 5 years in scotland) consumers in the U.K. have the right to ask the retailer to fix, replace any faulty item Purchased from them. I am visiting my local apple store on Saturday & have been told by Apple customer care to explain I want to : Exercise my rights to have my ipad serviced or replaced under the consumer law.
If it can't be fixed at apples cost then it's replaced. it's the law & simple. Don't pay anything else. Let apple sort this fault, it is there hardware that's at fault at the end of the day. Hope this helps. I shall upadte on Saturday evening of the outcome.

IPad restore error 2009.

My iPad (1) is refusing to restore after crashing. I have updated all my software (Mac) and was running the latest iOS. The error message I get is 2009. I have looked this up, and reset the SMC. Still not working. Tried it on my iMac, same issue. I am able to put the iPad into recovery mode. iTunes see's the ipad, extracts the software, verify's the restore with apple, and then tries to prepare the iPad for the restore. This is when I get the error 2009. I am running Lion on my early 2010 Macbook Pro. Any advice would be appreciated.

I just copy & paste the URL and it turns it into a link. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#error2009

Not able to restore ipad .. error 14

I gave my ipad ( WIFI + 4G LTE , A1475 ) for a couple of days to my cousin as he had asked for it . When he returned it to me , I got to know that my ipad had been jailbroken . Since I did not want to risk my ipad , I connected it to Itunes and choose to restore from a backup . When I restored , I was still able to find cydia in it . I then opened settings and choose " Erase all settings " ( that restoring to factory settings ) . The problem then started .My ipad was continuously stuck at the apple logo with a progress bar having no progress . So , I put it in DFU mode and connected it to Itunes and it says , " The software on "Ipad" needs to be restored to factory settings or updated." I tried both the option several times on 2 pc, but it ends up saying " The software for the ipad "ipad" was corrupted during download. Please disconnect your device and try again." . I also manually downloaded the firmware and did **** + restore and proceeded . This time it went till half the way of restoring ipad and have the error " The ipad "ipad" could not be restored. An unknown error has occurred (14)."
Have tried multiple computers, usb ports, and have the latest version of itunes installed.I also searched online and tried that hosts , tinyumberlla , deleting previous ipad software downloads . But no use .
So , please help me bring my ipad back to normal conditions . I am feeling very bad for my ipad but still have a ray of hope left . awaiting for help .

I think it is the hardware issue. You can check the details for the error: Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support

Ipad restore fails error 2003

Was loading latest iPad update and it hung. Itunes indicated the iPad needed to be restored. Clicked on restore and received error 2003.

Same thing here. I have an iPad 2 that was running iOS 5.0.1. Everything worked fine when without any kind of sync over cable or wifi, all apps including free and purchased ones disappeared. When I did connect it to iTunes, all apps were unchecked. So, I checked my apps, did a sync, and they all returned but missing all app data.
Long story short, things got a little flakey and I wanted to start from scratch so I plugged my iPad in to install the factory default firmware but I get the following error, " The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (26)." Tried this in DFU mode and in regular restore mode (when the iPad screen says to connect to iTunes). I tried different versions of iTunes and machines, OS 10.6, 10.7, and Windows 7, all giving the same error. When attempting a restore, it goes through "Extracting software, Verifying iPad restore with apple, preparing iPad for restore, waiting for iPad, preparing iPad for restore, verifying iPad restore." After the progress bar on the iPad is there for about 30 seconds, ERROR. I tried different things for hours with iOS 5.0.1, and I also get the same error with iOS 5.1, which was released today.

HT1430 ipad will not restore - error 4014 not found on website

ipad will not restore - error 4014 not found on website - will not turn on for hours

Take a look at this thread. Several solutions are offered.

HT1414 when trying to restore my ipad gen 1 it hangs on "Verifying ipad restore with Apple" then returns an error 1602

I have tried to restore my ipad gen 1. When it gets to the Verigying ipad restore with Apple" it seems to hang then returns the error 1602. I have the black screen on my ipad so cannot get to the shut down bar. The ipad has not been tampered with or jail broken. it suddenly would only show the apple symbol for 5 or so seconds then go to a blank screen and then 30 or so seconds later show the apple symbol again. This only happens when plugged into its factory charger.
