Ipad update failed

Hi,
I've just bought an iPad2. When I connect it to iTunes I synchronized the apps and some photos, then I decided to update the software. The update, after 3 hours with the progress bar frozen, failed. Now I'm trying to restore the software with no luck, always fails when iTunes is preparing the iPad for the restore, with the error 1611.
This is the log I get:

I've reinstalled iTunes with a new Windows user, checked that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is OK, tried disabling the firewall and antivirus...Still fails. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Why in the world did you buy an iPad in the first place. You seem like the kind of person that bleeds MS anything and everything. There is nothing wrong with that at all if thats what you want but maybe you should have stuck with a device that you are comfortable with - an Android tablet of some kind. The market is flooded with them now.
You are right about one thing - nobody jumped in to offer help. I am one of those "Mac geeks" and I admit that I know next to nothing about the Windows OS. I have used PC's for my own needs on a few occasions and I had to learn how to use a PC so I could help my daughter learn to use it for cyber school several years ago. Macs were not available nor was the software that the school used supported on the Mac. For me - that experience was like having my gums scraped - having to use a buggy, slower than molasses, wait until every garbage piece of security software has a chance to load - and then wait a little longer to be sure - and then have to wait for heaven knows what other crap had a chance to load before I could use the thing. I may be bloody clueless - but after the few instances where I was forced to navigate the wild, wacky, wonderful world of Windows, and after the three years of having to have one in the house for my daughters school work - I would still opt for a Mac any day.
Another point I would like to make and I have made this point more than a few times on this support site when a Windows user went on an anti Apple rant .... I didn't see any Windows users jumping into this thread to offer their expertise. I see that there were 72 views - but no support from other Windows users. I admit my ignorance of the whole Windows OS so I prefer to only direct Windows users to the appropriate support articles if I can find one.
Finally, I was not one of the "fools who signed off" on the update either - but I've update three iDevices - all successfully - and all is going fine for me. But - I am using a Mac.

IPad update failed, error 1602

Does anyone know how to fix this?
I connected iPad to windowx xp desktop with latest itunes and it asked to update the iPad. After the update failed, it keeps showing connect to itunes on iPad, yet the itunes doesn't seem to recognize it. Also as I connect iPad it shows in the bottom right *Apple Mobile Device (recovery mode)* and Found New Hardware window pops up. Does this mean I will lose all apps and saved files/books?

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.

IOS8 update failed on my iPad Mini

I went to update my iPad mini to iOS8 from iOS7 and it powered off and then on the screen it came up with an iTunes logo and a wire meaning 'Connect to iTunes'. I did exactly what it told me and when I connected it, it said on iTunes that in order to get iOS8 i had to 'restore iPad'. I pressed this and then it was downloading for about 2 and a half hours when a message came up on the screen saying that i had to restore my iPad which i was already in the process of doing while it was plugged into my laptop.
My iPad has been like this since iOS8 came out and now it is stuck in recovery mode and every time i try to update it, it says that there is some kind of error.
So basically my iPad is stuck in recovery mode and i have no way of getting out of it. It is crucial that i use my iPad for College so i need it right away.
Can anyone help me please?
As soon as possible.
Thank You.

I have the same problem....after the update failed and left me with the cable to itunes screen it would NOT connect to the PC windows....I have tried all sorts of thngs....all combos of buttons and re power ups...and restart including holding both buttons down....the itunes on PC does not see the ipad at all....help?????

IPad originally synced with PC, updates fail when on Mac

I originally synced and stored my iPad info on a PC, then a few months later I got a MacBook Pro. I'm running OSX 10.6.8 on Mac, iTunes 10.4. The problem is that when I attempt to update the IOS on iPad (as I did today), the update fails, then I have to go back to the PC and do a full restore then update.
My question is, can I make the PC "forget," or unregister the iPad, then have sole updates/restore/sync associated to the MacBook? I rarely use the PC, and it's just a pain in the butt to have to keep restoring from a 6 month old back up.
Thanks for any help!!

The iPad is designed to only be used with one computer, and there is no 'forget' option - you can copy all your iTunes content from the PC over to the Mac and start syncing from it, but you may lose all your content when you first connect it and have to re-sync it all back onto the iPad

I have an iPhone 6 and an iPad air and each time I try to download the IOS 8.1 update I get the message "software update failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 8." What is wrong? This problem is ridiculous and frankly annoying

I have an iPhone 6 and an iPad air and each time I try to download the IOS 8.1 update I get the message "software update failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 8." What is wrong? This problem is ridiculous and frankly annoying. I have a brand new iphone 6 and a 8 month old iPad Air what is the problem

Hi Wingzfan13,

Ipad updating to 8.1.2 update failed iPad dead

I was updating my iPad Air to the latest OS (8.1.2) via iTunes (after taking a backup). Everything went well for the allotted 30 minutes it estimated it would take but it bummed out seemingly at that last minute and reported 'error 14'.
My iPad is now at the bootup
screen the grey one with the Apple logo and a progress bar (shoeing approx 30 % complete) - what do I do now?

Greetings normanfromwaterlooville,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that while updating your iPad to the most recent version of iOS, the update failed and you received error 14. This error typically has to do with USB connection as described in the attached article.
Get help with iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
Because your iPad is stuck trying to start up, I would recommend placing it in recovery mode manually and performing the update as described by the steps in the following article. If you continue to have issues, please let me know.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
Cheers,
Joe

TS1363 ipad 3 software update fails?

ios 5.1.1 update failed to install in my ipad 3. ipad is locked on the usb plug screen.

same here iphone 4s updated with no problems but my new ipad is now stuck in dfu. Tried to restore twice now, and its a no go!

IOS update fails (iPad 4) both wirelessly and via iTunes

I bought an iPad 4 for a relative about six months ago. It came with iOS 5.1.1, which was kind of outdated at the time... but that wasn't a big issue since they only wanted to play a few games. Now I'm trying to repurpose it, and for its new purpose I need the iOS to be up to date.
When I go to Settings > General > Update, it indicates that iOS 6.1.3 is available. Trying to download the iOS directly on the iPad over a WiFi network takes about 15 minutes (apparently retrieving the entire file, then "preparing update" for a few seconds), but then results in an error dialog: "Software Update Failed / An error occurred downloading iOS 6.1.3." There's no further information on the failure available on the iPad, as far as I'm aware.
When I plug the iPad into my MacBook Pro running iTunes (ensuring that it is directly plugged into the laptop's own USB port rather than a hub, and that both iTunes and MacOS are fully updated), it shows the device as running iOS 5.1.1, enabling the "Update" button. Clicking the update button downloads "iPad Software Update" which is 1.11Gb. (Which itself is a bit odd; the MacBook's iTunes should have iOS 6.1.3 already downloaded, as my own iPad 4 is running that version. It's the same hardware -- same cellular provider, same version iPad, same amount of memory -- as the iPad I'm trying to repurpose.) When the download completes, it displays an error dialog: "The software for the iPad "[name]" was corrupted during download / Disconnect and reconnect, then try again. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." The iTunes downloads tab shows "err = 1403."
When I plug the iPad into a Windows 7 laptop running iTunes (ensuring that it is directly plugged into the laptop's USB port, and that both iTunes and Windows are fully updated), it shows the device as running iOS 5.1.1., enabling the "update" button. Clicking the update button downloads for about 15 minutes. When the download completes, it displays the same error dialog as the MacBook.
I have a 6.1.3 backup from my other iPad 4, on my MacBook's iTunes. I figured I could restore that backup then reset the iPad to factory settings, yielding a clean 6.1.3 install. But it says the iOS 5.1.1 is "too old" to restore the 6.1.3 backup on top of it. I'm running out of things to try.

no - there is no upgrade available for the version one iPad past IOS 5

Ios7 software update failed on ipad, any ideas how to fix?

I am unable to update my ipad - when I click 'download and install' i get the user agreement which I accept, I then get a message that says "Software Update Failed - An error occured downloading ios 7.1" I had the same issue for ios 7.06. I have tried hard resetting, disconnecting wifi etc.
Model is MC706B/A
Current ios version is 7.0.4 (11B554a)
Any ideas?

Are you trying to update via wifi, or connected to your computer?
If wifi, locate your iPad very close to your router so it doesn't drop wifi, or connect to your computer and update.

Ios 8 update failed (ipad air)

After getting the popup message today, I was updating my ipad air from the latest version of iOS7 to iOS 8 like a good ipad user and my update failed, now I have to do a restore And I have no idea why it failed either.
the exact thing happened when I updated to iOS7 a while back. Thankfully, this time I was smart enough to snap a backup before agreeing to complete the update, but now its gonna take over 4 hours to restore (wow - long time). Why is it that these major updates keep failing? Don't you guys test these updates before releasing them. Its a shame, Mac products used to be much more reliable with updates, now its a pretty sure thing that updating will fail for me.

after 4 hours of restoring time, this stupid icloud crap deleted all my data, all my music, movies, magazines, books, etc....this is THE WORST UPGRADE IN APPLE'S HISTORY!

HT2513 My iCalendar wont open after a OS 10.8.2 update failed to install.

I noticed there was an update for OS10.8.2 so I ran it. The computer needed a restart so I did it but aftwerwards it gave me an error message saying update failed. I restarted and it loaded the OX but the update didnt load and the iMac no longer shows an update needed. Current version is OS10.8.1 and now my iCal wont load and keeps giving me an error message telling me to reinstall with compatiable OSX. OK, now what?

When I go to iTunes and select my iPhone, then Photos, it gives me the option to sync photos from my Mac to my iPhone but not the other way around.
You use iTunes to upload photos to your iDevices, but you can only use it to download photos from the device, if you have iPhoto installed on your computer and your iPhone, and have "Documents & Data" enabled in the iCloud Preferences on your Mac.
See: Ways of sharing: With other apps,Save photos to your computer using iTunes
If you do not have iPhone installed, use either the PhotoStream or connect the device directly to your Mac to an USB port and and import from the device. This way you can import all photos that are in the camera roll on the device.
I really need to back up my photos from my 16 gig iPhone to my 750 gig MBP,
But what do you want to do? Sync photos back, or backup your iPhone?
To sync photos back, you use "import", either in iPhoto on your Mac or "ImageCapture", but to back up the iPhone, you use iTunes. But backing up the device will not allow you to access the photos on your mac, see: iTunes 10 for Mac: Back up your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad

Still getting "Software Update Failed" when attempting to download iOS 7 on iPhone 4S.

I've tried countless times now to download iOS 7 on my 4S which is currently running iOS 6.1.3. It downloads completely then in the "Preparing Update..." stage it gives me an error box saying "Software Update Failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 7.0." The same thing happens every time, I've rebooted and reset my pone several times as well as logging in an out of my Apple ID all with no success. It's not like it takes an unusual amount of time downloading or anything, and once it finishes downloading it shows less storage in the "About" section in "Settings" but goes back to where it was once it gives the error message. Just a note, I was able to download iOS 7 on my iPad 3 the day the software was released without a long waiting period or any hassle. I appreciate any input. Thank you.

Thanks for the response. I have 16.5 GB of available space at the moment. I've tried it connected to a wall charger and connected to my wifi, my schools wifi, and my gyms wifi all with no success. I have not tried it from iTunes but after posting this question a few suggestioned discussions came up, one of which recommended backing up to iCloud or iTune and then performing a complete restore. I'm in the process of doing that now, whether it works or doesn't work I will get back to either way. Thanks again.

When trying to download the IOS 7.1.1 update I continue to get a message that the update failed? Please advise!

When trying to download the ISO 7.1.1 update, my iPad goes through the downloading process and then goes to the preparing mode and after a while returns a message that the "Software Update Failed, an error occurred downloading IOS 7.1.1 ." Any suggestions?

Make sure anti-virus and other security software is disabled.
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
