IPad wiped out after trying to install OS6

I just tried to install OS6 on my iPad 2 from the latest iTunes version. I went away and came back to find that the update has failed, and my iPad's firmware seems to have been completely wiped out. It is stuck on the "connect to itunes" screen, and my itunes will not see it !! I have no idea how to restore it. Has anyone come across this problem ?

Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

    You don't. You have no choice but to restore at this point. The update did not complete successfully. iOS needs to be restored using iTunes.

  • MacBook Pro won't boot after trying to install 10.7.3 update. Start up stalls at Apple logo and spinning gear.

    MacBook Pro won't boot after trying to install 10.7.3 update. Start up stalls at Apple logo and spinning gear. Computer won't even start in safe mode.

    My daughter's MacBook Pro was doing exactly the same thing.  I don't know if it had anything to do with the latest update.  She called me about a week ago saying that her MacBook began running slower by the day .  She then called me Friday and told me that it wouldn't get past the gray screen and the gear just kept on spinning.  I did everything I could over the phone including Safe mode which it wouldn't go into and thought maybe it was the hard drive.  She took it to the Apple store.  Originally, they also thought it was the hard drive.  It ended up being a corrupted operating system (Lion).  Apple genius simply re-installed Lion and she's back up and running.  Good thing she backed up right before it crapped out.  She'll be restoring everything tonight.  Don't know if re-installing Lion will help your situation, but it did the trick for my daughter.

  • Ipod won't work after trying to install Paid 2.0 update

    I bought the 2.0 update for my 16 gig ipod touch. After trying to install the update through itunes half way through the update it gave me the message "The ipod could not be restored. An Unknown error occured (6)." I tried to do a restore on the ipod it it does the same thing. Can anyone help? Now after paying for an update I have an ipod that doesn't work at all.
    I tried doing a restore using the old software on a different itunes library and get the same error message.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks Larry

    ok i have figured out how to fix this problem!! it is simple. make a new account on your computer. Now use the itunes on that account and just plug ur touch in and restore it. It will restore it to the software 1.1.4 . now just go back to your main account on ur computer and plug ur touch in once again and it will restore it to its original settings and sync all your songs and videos and the rest.
    I followed the above instructions. Let Itunes 7.7 set itself up on the new account and downloaded the update. The first attempt didnt work but the second attempt after I rebooted the PC I logged in on the new user and booted up Itunes.
    When that had finished faffing about I connected the USB cable into another USB port (above the one its just come out of if you get my drift) and it started extracting the software for Restore then it started prparing the ipod for for restore and then started uploading the software to the ipod in which it had not done it before. As I type it has just finished synching the ipod with my current Itunes library on my default windows account.
    I am running the update but will have to enter my contacts details again but hey thats no big deal.
    So I hope you all get yours to work.
    Cheers

    Did you already activate iCloud on your iPad, Settings > iCloud.

  • Itunes wont open after trying to install 11.1.4??

    iTunes will not open after trying to install 11.1.4 version ??

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • After trying to install update on MacAir error message and then message saying panic (cpu caller 0xffffff800a859241): "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI\".... I'm worried as all of my work is on my computer and I'm afraid I will lose it all.

    I am totally worried I am going ot lose all my data after trying to install update on MacAir.  Cannot do anything error message saying panic ....."Unablet o find driver for this platform."

    Hi Guys
    No good news I'm afraid. I have been through ALL the system caches and files that were updated at the time of said issue. Reset - rebuild and even gone back to my TimeMachine copy from earlier this AM. Nothing! Can only assume it is something deeper in the /usr or var or private folders.....
    I have cloned the system and core files (/usr, /private) etc etc to an external HD and it still recreates the fault. I am afraid to say I have no more time at the minute to look at so have put my machine back to 2 hours prior via my TimeCapsule.
    I the absense of anyone else or, indeed, Apple fixing in the next 12 hours, will get back onto it from the cloned copy I have kept and see if I can find the offending file/files...
    Sorry I don't have an immedaite solution.

  • After trying to install 6500 Wireless all-in-one on my 3rd comp, it ceased to work

    While trying to install my (less than 2 year old) HP6500 Wireless all-in-one software on my 3rd networked computer, the software installation went into a loop and would not complete the installation.  After about an hour or so of waiting, I physically had to unplug the printer & eject the CD. Upon doing so, the printer became next to useless. The printer key pad no longer functions except when I first plug it in, and I can no longer access it from the other 2 original computers, even with USB.  The HP solution center says it’s on line, until I go to print via USB, then it says it’s offline. I can hook the USB up on the Widows 7 unit and force it to print Word Office documents, but when I try to print documents on it from either Internet Explorer or Fire Fox it wants to send a Fax??? I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software 3 times on my Windows 7 unit now to no avail. Is it my printer, the printer Firmware or what?  I have downloaded and run all the HP & Microsoft troubleshooting tools on the Windows 7 unit to no avail.  However; HP downloads will not successfully complete on my XP unit.  What should I do? Should I start over with a new wireless printer?
    Totally Confuzed

    Ref: 02-23-2012 08:53 AM
    12:38 AM 2/24/2012 UPDATE ON WHAT I HAVE TRIED AGAIN: 
    1. Power Reset on the Printer: Power off the printer. Unplug the power cable from the back of the unit. Wait 60 seconds. Replug the power cable to the printer and power it on. DONE
     2. Print a test page: Follow this document to print the test page. PRINTER SCREEN SAYS IT'S PRINTING AND THE POWER LIGHT IS FLASHING LIKE IT'S BUSY, BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING. ONLY WAY TO USE IT NOW IS TO UNPLUG IT AND START OVER. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME NOW. IT WILL NOT PRINT TEST REPORTS.
     3. Create a copy of the printed test page. CANNOT DO NOW - (PRINTER FREEZES UP WITH A BLINKING POWER LIGHT)
     4. Print the Wireless Network Test Report (To check if there are any errors) CANNOT DO
    Press the Setup button ( ). DOESN'T WORK EXCEPT MOMENTARILY...NOT LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE A SELECTION BEFORE IT HANGS AND FREEZES UP...
    Press the Right Arrow button ( ) to select Network Setup, and then press the OK button. CAN'T GET IT TO DO ANYTHING PRESSING THE OK BUTTON.
    Press the Right Arrow button ( ) to select Wireless Network Test , and then press the OK button. The Wireless Network Test Report prints. CAN'T GET IT TO DO ANYTHING PRESSING THE OK BUTTON.
    If you did not encounter any errors while performing the steps above then I think the hardware is OK. Test the software next. Let's use Windows 7 as the test platform. I DON'T THINK THE HARDWARE IS OK.
    1. Download the driver from HP.com. Once it gives you the option to either Run or Save make sure to select Save and then select Desktop as the target location where it will save the file. This is just to make it easier to find it. Once it finishes downloading the file, double click it to initiate the installation process. Follow the on screen instructions until you reach the "select how you want to connect the printer" window comes up. I ALREADY HAVE 3 COPIES ON MY DESKTOP & NONE OF THEM REACT ANY DIFFERENTLY.
     2. At the "select how you want to connect the printer" window select USB and then click Next (I think there is a next button). It should asks you to connect your printer but we are NOT going to do that. Place a checkmark on the option on the bottom of the window that gives you the option to bypass the connection phase of the installation. Click Next to proceed. Once the the installation process completes, restart your computer. I HAVE DONE IT BOTH WAYS BEFORE AND CANNOT GET THE INSTALLATION TO COMPLETE ON ANY OF THE 3 COMPUTERS NOW.
     If you did not encounter any errors at this point then it looks like the software installation process is good. Proceed to the next test. END OF TEST FOR TONIGHT. THANKS
    1. After the computer completely boots up, connect the USB cable to the printer and to the computer. The computer should detect the printer and initiate the HP installation process for it. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the install.
    2. Try printing to test functionality.

    How to stop the spinning ball after trying to install V10.7.3?

    Boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the Recovery desktop appears, reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
