  • HT201210 my Ipad will not restore after trying to update what do I do?

    I tried to update my Ipad to 6.0 .  NOw I am getting an alert that was unable to restore!!!  What do I do?  All I was trying to do was add some music to my IPAD!!

    Did you get an error #? What iOS version are you currently running?
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • Ipad mini will not restore after ios update 7.1.2

    Hi Community,
         I recieved a message last night about the update 7.1.2 for my ipad mini. I left my ipad on overnight while plugged in while it was updating. i woke up this morning seeing my ipad must be connected to itunes. I connect my ipad to itunes and it must be restored. Every time i try to restore and update the ipad from itunes i get the error code 3004. I have tried hard resetting the ipad, re-downloading the latest version of itunes, and disconnecting and reconnected the usb plug. 

    Hello, Ronald. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are the steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing error 3004. 
    Resolve network errors
    Related errors: 17, 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, 3000, 3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3015, 3194, 3200, or "There was a problem downloading the software," or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build.". These alerts mean that your computer is either having difficulty contacting the Apple update server or communicating with your device.
    Check your computer for software or settings that might cause communication issues between your computer and Apple or between your computer and your device.

  • HT1212 my ipad will not restore after passcode dissable

    passcode dissable , connect iTunes atempt 6 failure

    Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device
    1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
    4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
    5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
    6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.
    If this all fails then:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, 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.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • My iPad will not sync after system update and returns message that my computer is no longer authorised.

    Please help me sync my iPad as it is not able to sync after a system update.  Several messages 1. Computer no longer authorised and when I reauthorise it it prepares to sync and then it tells me my iPad cannot be written to,

    Hi leefromwoodford,
    The following article will tell you how to transfer purchased music from your iPhone to the your Mac -
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Specifically -
    Transferring purchases
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
    Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
    Open iTunes.
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
    Enter your Apple ID and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
    Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, you may be asked if you want to "Erase and Sync" or "Transfer Purchases."
    If that alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
    Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content would then be replaced with the content that is on the computer.
    If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:
    After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
    From the File > Devices menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'"
    Note that the computer must be authorized for the Apple ID under which the purchases were made.
    You may also want to download the music directly from the iTunes store, rather than using the iPhone. See this article -
    Download past purchases

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • IPhone 3GS will not activate after IOS5 update it says there is no SIM

    I tried updating my iPhone 3GS to IOS5 and it is saying the activation server is temporarily unavailable and then iTunes says there is no SIM but there is.

    Here's what you do
    1.Make sure your phone is not plugged into the computer.
    2. Put the iPhone into recovery mode (this is NOT DFU mode). Do this by
         a). Hold down both the power/sleep button and the home button until the screen turns black/off
         b). As soon as this happens release the power button but NOT the home button
         c). If done correctly then the Apple logo will appear, KEEP HOLDING THE HOME BUTTON and eventually a connect to itunes graphic will appear. You can release the home button
    3. With the connect to itunes graphic on the screen, plug your phone into the computer. iTunes will start up if it is not already on, and then will say the phone needs restoring. Ignore this and COMPLETELY quit iTunes.
    4. With iTunes off and the graphic still on the phone screen, hold down both the power/sleep and the home button again for 9 seconds (count 100, 200, 300...) or until the screen goes black
    5. When the screen goes black release the home button straight away.
    6. It will start up with the iPhone activation screen ignore this. iTunes should have started up, if not do so. Go to the iPhone tab and either resotre from backup or set up as a new phone.
    You're welcome

  • My iPad will not restore after an issue when synching

    I have been having problems with my iPad. I have been trying to synch it and it gave problems and now appears to lost everything on it. I have connected it to iTunes and tryed to do a rstore but about half way through it says it has detected an iPad that requires a restore and then completes but does not do the reset. How do I rest the iPad to take it back as a new device and try and start again from there ?

    Recovery mode does exactly that.  At this point, you need to contact Apple Support 800-275-2273 in the U.S.) and get help there.

  • Apps will not open after ios5 install.  Any solutions?

    Apps will not open after ios5 install.  Any solutions?

    My husband had the same problem with some apps after I updated his iPad 2 to iOS 5.  I checked the app store and there were updates for the apps to support the new software.  After updating, all apps work just fine.

  • Mt iPad will not allow me to update my apps. My username and password are correct and I can buy apps with no problem but when I try and update it just says "cannot open iTunes"

    My iPad will not allow me to update apps although I have no problem buying new ones. It says "cannot connect to iTunes" each time I try.

    Same problem for me, too.  It happens on my iPad, iPhone, and iMac.  Weird because I have great Internet connectivity and I can log into and view my iTunes account.  I've downloaded three new apps with no problem.  But my iPad shows 14 apps needing updates, my iPhone shows 2, and my iMac shows 1.  In all cases, clicking on "update" and entering the password results in the message, "Cannot connect to iTunes Store".  It's the same result across multiple WiFi networks, even after resetting them.
    I'll see if someone at the Genius Bar can help and then I will repost.
