Ipad will not synch or restore!

Since updating my Ipad iPad (iOS 6) I cant sync or even restore my ipad. This is the worst iOS update I have ever put on my phone or ipad. I am encountering a whole host of other problems. Can someone help me as I cannot even see a feasible way I can report this problem to MAC

My calendar on my iPhone and iCloud will sync between each other. But my iPad will not synch.

My calendar on my iPhone and iCloud will sync between each other. But my iPad will not synch.

On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Calendars off then back on then reset the iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

IPad will not update or restore to factory settings.

My iPad Air is stuck in recovery mode. I was using my iPad to watch Netflix when all of a sudden the screen display had lines going through it and then the device shut off. I plugged it in to charge, since it was almost dead and left it for a few hours. When I came back and tried to turn it on, it would not turn on. After a few attempts it did. and seemed to be working fine for about 5 minutes, until I tried to close a few apps, and same thing happened, lines through the display and then turned off. I tried to plug my iPad in to my computer to update it, but it must have malfunctioned while updating because then it went into recovery mode. I tried to restore the iPad to factory settings and I keep getting an error saying it can not update or restore.
I then brought my iPad in to the Apple store for some technical support. The "technician" was less than helpful and only did what I had done at home: plug into computer and try to update & restore using itunes. Needless to say it did not work. He then told me it must be a hard drive problem and since I was 2 months out of warranty that I could get a replacement iPad for $299 +tax. I asked for the manager and of course "he was busy" and said this was my only option. I asked him how thsi could've happened and he told me he had no way of knowing and didn't know what caused these things to happen.
I have been an Apple user for 10+ years and have enjoyed every product I have ever bought there. I am extremely disappointed that by me using my iPad normally, never dropping it, never spilling water on it and then their product failing that I have to pay almost $300 to get a replacement. It seems that this problem could not have been avoided, since they don't know what causes these things and that this was Apples fault for selling faulty products. I would have never bought the iPad to begin with had I known I would need to purchase a replacement only 13 months later.
I am wondering if anyone has gone through something similar and if there are any other options for me.

Did you put the iPad into Recovery Mode? Follow the steps in this Apple support document:
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
It could be an internal hardware failure though, as the Apple technician explained. While not common these things do happen. If that's the case you options are to replace the iPad with an identical model using the Out of Warranty replacement process and paying the $299 fee or purchase a new replacement iPad.

IPad will not activate after restore

Downloaded iOS 5 and after it does what it was supposed to in iTunes, it was time to do what it was supposed to on my iPad. Received as error message saying there was a problem and the iPad needs to be restored. did that and now it says the iPad can not be activated and it is not recognized when I try and sync with iTunes

I sounds like a hardware problem to me. I suspect you can send it back but first your typically need and RMA number which you get from Apple. Have you asked the locale store of how to send it back? Since it seem that it is within the 90 day free telephone support period you should be able to call Apple in the USA for shipping instruction. Go to the USA Apple site to find contact information.

IPad will not Synch 2nd Time

New iPad won't sync to MacBook Pro (new computer).
Had the problem after I migrated all files/programs from my 13" to the new 15" laptop. Tried everything in the help section, finally re-installed iTunes on the laptop. Everything worked fine and iPad was recognized and sync'd.
Now a couple of days later, tried to sync again and nothing - iTunes does not recognize the iPad, iPad doesn't launch iTunes - basically nothing.
iTunes works fine on it's own. iPad works fine on it's own.
Apple iPad Tech Support was lame - they just emailed me a link to the Help Page. Thanks Apple !!!

I had a problem where iTunes would just lock up. Don't know if the cause is the same for you but for me it was a problematic iTunes plugin (iToner). Uninstalled it and it is mostly working fine now (misc sync issues now) - you can look in ~/Library/Itunes/Itunes Plugins/ and see what plugins you have. Back them up and remove them, test itunes then replace them back one by one until you find a problematic one - only a possibility.

Ipad will not synch to iTunes. States need newer version of amds, but when check amds it states I have the latest version

Hi, eventually managed to install latest iTunes on laptop with windows 7 32 bit, but when I connect my ipad it states that I need a later version of amds and to uninstall this and iTunes then re-install iTunes. Tried this, but no-luck.
I've checked the driver in the device manager and when I click properties and search it states that I have the latest version.
This is driving me insane!
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Any

Have you run windows update? That could prevent iTunes from properly installing. Also, try with your antiVirus and firewall disabled. What version of Windows are you running?
OS X is the operating system on the Mac.

IPad will not sync nor charge

My ipad will not synch nor charge, apple retailers reset the device but still will not work. Any tips or anyone encountered the same problem
I have to pay £260 to get it repaired as it has a small bump on the top right hand corner, but i have been told that it will not be fixed but apple will send me a new ipad. will they give me the ipad 2 if i pay that sum

Many USB ports simply do not put out enough current to charge an iPad. Please use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad until you determine whiich ports (if any) on your laptop will do the job.
Please read Chapter 2.
There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site. If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

My iPod Touch will not synch properly or restore at all.

When I connect it to my i-Tunes library, it will not synch properly. I receive an error message saying: "ITunes was unable to load provider data from Synch Services. Reconnect or try again later." I do reconnect and I still eceive the same error message. When I attempt to restore the iPod Touch, I receive an error message saying that I don't have enough access permissions. When my son connected the iPod Touch to his i-Tunes library on his side of the computer (I have a PC with multiple accounts for me and my family), he did not receive any error messages. Moreover, he was able to synch the iPod Touch properly and even restore it to its factory settings without any trouble. I think that this may be a problem with my i-Tunes library, but I have tried several times to update my i-Tunes version and I still receive error messages. For some reason, my son does not have any problems. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finished, you will be asked if you wish the contents of iTunes to be copied to the iPad.

My iPad will stay on for minute or so, then will restart. I have tried to restore, but it says I must have "Find My iPad" turned off. The iPad will not allow me to turn that off, so I am at quite the impasse.

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.

My IPad will not respond to my pass code after I updated. iTunes says 'disable find my ipad' before I can restore from backup.

My IPad will not respond to my pass code after I updated from ITunes. ITunes says I must disable ''find my ipad'' in order to restore. I cannot get to that because my pass code is locked.
I only have one back up & that is the one I did when I updated. (Can't remember if it was before or after)

iTunes wants you to disable find my iPad because Apple wants to make sure you are not trying to restore someone else's iPad.
To turn off find my iPad, you need to enter your Apple ID password.

My ipad will not come on. i tried to restore and get error message 1603, dont know how to take out itsw

my ipad will not come on. i tried to restore and get error message 1603, dont know how to take out itsw which it tells me to do.

Error 1603
Follow the steps listed below for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

My iPad will not turn on. I have tried to reset, with no results. I have also tried to restore from iTunes, but it could not recognize the iPad.

My third gen iPad will not turn on.
I tried to reset, and the apple icon appears, but it will not load.
I attempted to restore it through iTunes, but it could not recognize it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Of course, it is out of warranty.
