IPad - Unable to restore

Hello,
I had to restore my iPad and while that does happen, I then get locked into a sync that stops at importing photos. The sync bar is moving but never resolves.
So I am unable to restore.
These are the steps.
1) Change Find My iPad to off
2) Press Restore
3) Hang about while the iPad restores
4) Then watch while synch happens
5) Importing photos starts and never ends
This also happens on iPhone synchs. Always sticks at importing photos.
What can I do? If I disconnect the iPad, I lose the restore.
Appreciate any help / advice.

    Hi Inez2317, 
    Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you see a "No SIM" message on your iPad. You can find some troubleshooting steps that can help at this link:
    If you see 'No SIM' alert on iPhone - Apple Support
    Although the article references the iPhone, most of the steps can help troubleshoot an iPad as well. 
    All the best,

  • HT1414 I am unable to restore my device as my ipad has been disabled.

    I am unable to restore my device as my ipad has been disabled. This was caused by enetering the incorrect security code too many times. However, i know that security code entered was in fact correct so do not understand why it would not unlock.

    No i actually locked my screen straight away after creating the code just to test it. That's what makes it so frustrating is that there is no way the code i entered was wrong. I ended up trying 0000 incase their was a sort of default code but nothing. When setting up the code you have to enter it twice to make sure you don't make an error, so i know i have been entering the right code.

  • Has anyone been unable to restore their iPad after attempting to upgrade to ios5? error 1

    Has anyone been unable to restore their iPad after attempting to upgrade to ios5? I get an unknown error 1 message. Thanks.

    I have the same problem. Something happened during the download and froze iTunes. After spending three days searching these forums with the dead iPad, the only thing I got to work was to try downloading iOS 5 using my sons computer. This worked. However I cannot now get my computer's iTunes to sync with my iPad.. It contains the same error message (1602) and has the same problem as before. It is not an antivirus problem. I need some help too

  • Unable to restore iPad from recent iTunes update.

    So I updated to iTunes 10.7. Afterwards it told me I had to wipe my iPad 2 and restore it. After wiping my iPad however I am unable to restore it. It's stuck in recovery mode. So here is what I have done:
    I have read support articles like this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    I have rebooted, reset, unplugged and re-plugged my iPad multiple times.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes three times now.
    I have tried different USB ports.
    I have tried to direct Windows Vista to the Mobile Device Support/Drivers folder however Windows can not locate the usbaapl.inf. It's there but windows doesn't recognise it.
    I am tapped out here. Any advice would be appreciated, my iPad is a paper weight at this point.

    Explain which way you tried to restore from a backup.
    Did you try to use iCloud? If you did, what happened when you tried?
    Or did you use iTunes and what happened when you tried that way?

    From last link above.
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes can't contact the update server (gs.apple.com)  on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software isn't interfering with ports 80 or 443 or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow these steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (go to "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you're using a proxy, try again without using a proxy.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
    Error 3004: If you're using a Mac, you may be able to resolve an error 3004 by quitting iTunes and using the following command in the command line: dscacheutil -flushcache.

  • Unable to restore Ipad.  Unknown error occured (8)

    Tried to install 7.1.2 upgrade on Ipad.  Upgrade would not complete.  Ipad would shut down frequently while trying to use after failed upgrade.  Connected it to ITunes where it tried to install upgrade.  After several attempts message stated I would have to restore.  While trying to restore it fails once it gets to verifying firmware.  Error message is "Unable to restore Ipad.  Unknown error occurred (8).  I've already made sure all updates on PC are complete. Shut down and restarted both Ipad and PC.  Even called Apple Support where I was instructed to uninstall ITunes and components.   Tried to restore again with same problem.

    For unknown error -50
    Disconnect the iPad from your Mac.
    Open the Finder.
    From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/Networkinterfaces.plist
    Click Go then move the Networkinterfaces.plist file to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac. Connect the iPad then launch iTunes.
