IPad update (epic) failed!

I updated my iPad, and when it asked for my apple password, it said it was the WRONG password. So, I hit the 'SKIP THIS' thinking I could go back in later. Now the none of my internet-using apps load -- no FB, no APPS, no Apple Store --

Thanks but I'm not even able to recover at the moment.. I called in and did what the support suggested, uninstalling all 3 apple programs + itunes and quicktime and restarted, reinstalled itunes, restarted and plugged ipad back in. Result is still the same. iPad shows connect to itunes and my computer displays "Found New Hardware" window while itunes doesn't show any devices. So I'm guessing something with drivers?
This is what it shows in device manager:

I wish I didn't do the update at all
You need to do the updates, because they slowly improve the performance of your iPad. And soon, iOS 4.0 is coming, which you will absolutely want, because it take the iPad to a whole new world.
I'm not even close to being an expert on Windows, not having used it in about 10 years. But I've monitored this board for a while, so here are some suggestions:
1. Try a different USB port, if you have one. Don't use a USB hub, try to connect directly to your computer.
2. If possible, see if your cable is damaged. It happens.
3. Before doing this, just make sure you have complete backup files from your most recent backup. I'm not sure where to find them, but as I recall, they should be located in your iTunes files. Then, completely reset and wipe your iPad, by going to Settings, General, Reset. Again, don't even consider this if you can't find your backup locations. You might want to search these discussions with "backup AND Windows AND location" to see where they're located.
If none of this works, go to an Apple Genius. He can plug you into a Mac to see if the iPad has a problem.
Again, it's not the update that caused the problem, it's a corrupted file or something. You'll fix it, so don't worry.

Did you try disabling your firewall and antivirus software while trying to update?

Hi Willy,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article below provides information about specific update and restore alerts, including the 9006 alert that you saw when attempting to update your iPad 2 to iOS 8.1. Try using the instructions provided to see if the issue is caused by a conflict with the security software on your computer.
Resolve iOS update and restore errors
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.
I hope this helps,

Draft created on iPhone, modified and sent from iPad - Epic Fail

My wife worked for days on a reply to an email she received. She did this on her iPhone and was saving it as a Draft. We both have mobile me accounts and both of these accounts are set up on our iPad. I opened the draft from her Draft folder in the iPad, read it over, made a couple of changes and hit Send. A message was displayed about not being able to send it, something wasn't set up properly. It never got put back in the Draft folder, or the Sent Folder. It didn't sync with her Outbox on her Mac either.
She can create an email on the iPad and send it just fine. So can I. My account is the primary account in the iPad.
We just can't edit/send a Draft on the iPad that was created on either Apple Mail, or iPhone Mail.
Anyone else ever experience this?
Where did the email go?
Thanks

Just discovered this issue as well and "epic fail" is the exact way to put it. Can't believe this is an issue. Doesn't matter if in me.com, gmail, or other accounts...there is no way to edit and save IMAP draft message on iphone or ipad. Major disappointment.

What should i do first? I was trying to update the iPad when it failed.

During the update it failed and wiped the iPad back to the factory setings, erasing the pictures of my recently pasted away daughter. Is there anyway to save these pictures before having iTunes do a restore? I bought this iPad from the online store on Nov. 26, 2010 and it was suppose to have the 4.2 version but it did not and that is why i was trying to update. It had the system almost backed up when i walked away for a second and when i returned my iPad had the USB and Itunes face like when i originally recieved it. How would i find that backed up materials, as well?

Yes I transferred them from the camera connection. The pictures that I did not have backed up were those of my friends to that were going back home out of state and they let me copy the pictures they had taken. Also I ws worried about the pictures that I edited with Photoshop app and saved. This would of been the first time I had the oppurtunity to save them to my computer. At this point I don't think I have any other choice but to do the iTunes restore and update and hope the back up completed and whatever it was suppose to do after that is what failed. Thank you for your help.
Background: we had twins, a boy and a girl, and at birth my little girl passed away. We were able to hold her for a while and have family and friends come in and give us their support. My day was split between being there for my wife, spending preciuos time with my daughter and running to another room to make sure my little boy was going to be okay. We spent two weeks in the hospital and are now home. After the funeral I was showing family and friends the pictures that I had taken and put on the iPad. That is when they offered their pictures and I have no idea if they still have them.

My iTunes account was disabled: epic fail Apple!

So, here's my story. Last night, I was suddenly aware that I couldn't update apps on my iPhone (4S, up to date), or load new ones. Tried everything, nothing helped. iPad seemed fine. Restored, restarted, resetting as new phone, nothing worked. I went to my local genius bar and spend THREE HOURS with them, where they tried everything as well, resotring, resetting, even swapping the phone, nothing helped. They suggested I contact apple for more help, I completely stumped the entire genius team at this store. Calling apple store support on my way home in a huff, the nice woman on the other line suggested that my account might be disabled. So, upon returning home, I looked up "disabled itunes account" and noticed that to fix this, all one needed to do is change your itunes password. When I did that, everything was fine again. Apps loaded fine, existing apps updated fine as well.
I consider this an epic fail on Apple's part. Mind you, I love the iPhone, have had every model, and would never get another phone. Nevertheless, why was my account disabled? Why is there no phone number to call itunes support? I have to email and wait for them to call back? Why wasn't I sent a message saying that my account was disabled becuase of a potential security breach? My account is in good standing, I barely purchase anything to be honest. The odd small app or two, but that's it. All was valid and in good standing. Why would the geniuses not think to say "maybe it's your itunes account, let's change the password and see what happened." I consider this a collasal failure, making me waste an entire evening, only for it to be a quick fix.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks for the feedback!
D

why was my account disabled?
Usually it is because of multiple incorrect password entry attempts. Since resetting the password fixed the problem, this would seem to be likely. I can't say with certainty, though.
Why is there no phone number to call itunes support?
Because Apple does not provide telephone support for the iTunes Store,
Why wasn't I sent a message saying that my account was disabled becuase of a potential security breach?
No idea. E-mails are I believe usual in at least some such cases, but whether one would be generated in this specific instance (and perhaps was blocked by a spam filter) I can't say.
Why would the geniuses not think to say "maybe it's your itunes account, let's change the password and see what happened."
Again, no firm idea, but the Geniuses aren't expected to provide support for the iTunes Store, so it probably hasn't arisen in exactly that way before and hence just didn't occur to them in absence of any evidence or notification that the account was disabled.
You can comment to Apple in the matter via their feedback page, if you wish:

Why does whenever i updated my iphone 4 with ios 6.0.1 to ios 6.1 it always says that "Update is Failed"???

cuz whenever i updated my iphone 4 ios 6.0.1 to ios 6.1 as it says in my software updates it always says in the nearest end that Update Is Failed. I wan't to update it because my current ios version right now is not compatible with the carrier network that i've been using. And i've heard that 6.1 fixes those Bugs. I'm from Philippines by the way.

Whether you want to update to iOS 6.1 or not is up to you. There were no earth shattering "wow" features included in this update. The bug fix for the March 2013 calendar crashing issue, a new UI for the look screen when playing music, and a couple of other things.
If you want to update, just go to Settings>General>Software Update and update the iPad over WiFi.

5s update/restore fail using itunes

i backed up my 5s with itunes so i could update my phone from 7.1 to 8.3; The update/restore failed; I have tried repeatedly; my phone is not functional, and I can't even restore to factory settings; In troubleshooting I have done the following: used most recent itunes, disabled antivirus software -still failing. My computer is running windows xp -is that why it is failing? I don't know what to do. I need to get my phone back to functioning.

The answer to your question comes directly from the TS3694 article you attached above:
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

Software Update - Apple FAIL!

Apple have completely borked the Software Update feature in Sno Leo, like many users with multiple machines I prefer to download the package for an update once and then use Apple Remote Desktop to update all machines on my LAN. I also use the same process for my commercial client's networks.
I was amazed to see that Apple have removed the option from the Software Update dialogue box to "Download Only", the only way now is to follow a link to a blank page on the Apple site, navigate to where ever the particular update package is hidden and download it from there.
Apple's epic fail on this issue is made worse with the release of 10.6.1 - even when you finally navigate to the relevant section of the downloads site, the update package is not yet up there!!
here is a link to a screenie of the new updater and the drop box with the link to the blank page,
http://img.skitch.com/20090910-1gmmh99gxgtnd76nxkrunib46u.jpg
and the blank page it links you to,
http://support.apple.com/en_AU/downloads
and after you manage to navigate to the OSX updates section,
http://img.skitch.com/20090910-tiypash4wbw52tphhdegip9hhx.jpg

Is that all ?
I would have thought an epic fail was something of real significance and something of importance doesn't work. I hadn't realised that Apple designed their system to suit you. there could be others who like it in the new way, rather than the old.
Perhaps time to get a grip on reality - its Friday tomorrow and the weekend is coming up so perhaps time to smile a little more and not make mountains out of molehills. Take a chill pill and think nice thoughts.

Never Again Nokia ! - EPIC FAIL ¡

The title says it all reason :
I've purchased an n97 for nearly 30000 inr two years back - i know very well that its completely outdated and due to hardware restrictions - it wont ever be updated to anna or belle ¡ . But how come nokia expect me to suffer for their fallacy of putting a mere 128mb ram and 434 mhz processor on their flagship ? I envy these first gen s^3 devices - they've got 2 major updates !- anna /belle and now belle refresh is coming ! Not to count numerous minor updates too ! Why then were we left with pathetic firmware on our devices ! -we never wanted belle or anna atleast make the current one more usable !
I've lost hope in you nokia ! Atleast if you have read numerous requests in here for doing something for s60v5 devices in here - you would not have done this to us !
I pity myself for having bought your flagship and will never again do the mistake of buying a nokia ! Who knows even lumias may suffer the same fate when wp8 arrives !
This is not only a single person expressing his anger here ! There are thousands behind me ! Fall nokia fall - YOU ARE AN 'EPIC FAIL' !

thanks for the the reply -'adrianhughes' but i.ve clicked the contact us but a hell lot times from day one (since i bought my nokia) - it is utter useless ! And i do believe that users have the right to express their feelings here ! - not that it'll change anything ! - but to make sure that we dont give up without a fight !

Any help or guidance is appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The Lenovo System Update installed the "Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver 8.9.2.1002" right before the Windows Upgrade got broken. So in the Device Manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, I choose Intel ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller, on the Driver Tab, I choose the option "Roll Back Driver" and after rolling back the driver and restarting the OS, now Windows Update is working like a Champ!
The End!
