IPad won't restore after iOS 7.1.2

Finally downloaded the 7.1.2 update but I wish I hadn't. After downloading on my iPad 3, I got the "connect to iTunes screen." Once there, iTunes says my ipad is in recovery mode and i need to download a(nother) software update. 45 minutes later, after downloading the entire file, I get a file corrupter err 1403 message. I tried again. 45 minutes later, the same result. i turned off my firewall. same thing. Apple wants to charge me $20 to chat with a service tech (after THEIR update fried my iPad). Any help from someone NOT affiliated with Apple would be appreciated.

  • Ipad won't sync after iOS 7.03 update: Other is huge and over capacity

    When iOS7 was updated last week (7.0.3) the update went fine on my iphone 5s but was interupted on my iPad. 
    Now, when I connect the iPad via cable to my desktop Mac, it will not sync.  It connects to the iPad just fine, but the "changes" cannot be applied because it shows that the amount of data to be transfered to the 64GB iPad is "Over Capactiy by 31.37GB."  A total of 45.2GB of "Other" is indicated on the summary page in iTunes in a yellow band. 
    (A sync from the same ID, same iTunes library with the same settings, with the iPhone 5S of the same capacity (64GB) has NO trouble completing properly.  It shows only 1.62 GB of "Other."
    I have tried restoring the iPad from a previous back up. No good.
    I have tried restoring the iPad to a new, factory issued condition, set it up as if it were a new iPad and tried to sync.  No good.
    I have changed the sync setting so that NO video or audio tracks are to be synced (freeing enough space for all of the bloated, "Other" category.)  Stiill ends up stuck perpetually in Syncing iPad - Step 4 of 4 - "Waiting for changes to be applied"
    Any suggestions?
    SERIOUSLY frustrated. 

    I am having the exact same issue except with the iPhone 4s.
    "Other" shows 34.88GB
    I tried everything you did, short of factory reset, since I read elsewhere that won't work.

  • My iPad won't restore after after I attempted to update.

    Now iTunes won't even recognize my iPad.  Advice is welcome!

    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

    ipad 2 wont restore after updating to ios 7

    Hello pinky03,

  • My 1st generation iPad won't restore

    My first gen ipad won't restore. It won't turn on, it won't turn off, it won't show the apple logo when I try to put it in DFU mode, and it won't show the 'connect to itunes' symbol. Basically it won't do anything that all the trouble shooting tips suggest!
    When I plug it into the mains via it's charging dock, it flashes the apple logo every 10 or 15 seconds, but when I plug it into the mac it only manages to flash very weakly every 5 seconds or so.
    After many attempts, I managed to get itunes to recognise that there was 'an ipad in recovery mode' but every time I tried to restore it, I got the message 'unknown error 1602' and when I looked this up, it basically said it was the same as about 10 other error codes and that all I needed to do was change the USB port and/or restart itunes and/or the mac and it would all be good.
    I did all of these things several times and in various permutations but to no avail.
    I'm not 100% sure of the operating system on the ipad (and of course I can't check at the minute,) but I'm sure it's iOS 5. something! (I did update regularly, or when prompted by the system, but haven't done it in a while because my wife uses it now.)
    My itunes is up to date - Version 11.0.1
    I know it's a long-shot but can anyone help?
    Thanks

    I have a similar problem. But my iPad shows the connect iTunes screen and gives error 2001 when I try to restore it.
    My iPad's battery was fine but I didn't use it for like 2 weeks. It's battery would've discharged and it turned off. When I tried to charge through wall socket, it got into the restart loop where it would show apple logo and turn off. So I did the simultaneous holding of Home and Sleep buttons for 10 seconds or more. It started showing connect to iTunes.
    When I try to restore, the iTunes does the usual "extracting file" or something and go upto preparing for restore. But the iPad screen turns off from "connect to iTunes" and iTunes gives the error 2001, and the screen is back to connect to iTunes.
    Also, if I don't plug in, the iPad seems dead, doesn't wake up or anything.

  • Both iPod and iPad won't connect after update.

    Both iPod and iPad won't connect after update.  iTunes says "can't allocate a resource"

    I had the same problem after updating to iOS 7 today. I did follow the advice on another site, but additionally rebooted my iMac. Worked after that.
    Follow these steps to reset the Lockdown folder:
    Disconnect all iOS devices from your computer and quit iTunes.
    From the Finder, choose Go > Go to folder.
    Type the following and then press Return:
    /var/db/lockdown.
    The Finder window should display one or more files with long alphanumeric file names.
    In the Finder, choose Edit > Select all. Then, choose File > Move to Trash. Enter an administrator password if prompted.
    Note: Do not delete the Lockdown folder itself. Delete only the files contained inside the Lockdown folder.
    Reconnect your iOS device and open iTunes
    My Additional step: reboot the Mac. Your iPad should give the first indication that it has worked by asking you to "trust this computer" or some such. Agree. Then iTunes should have reopened with your iPad showing and syncing.

  • My iPad won't charge after plugging into my computer and after holding down the power and home button at same time for 10 seconds- Can anybody help? Has IOS7.0 but the most up-to-date version

    My iPad won't charge after plugging into my computer and after holding down the power and home button at same time for 10 seconds… Can anybody help? Has IOS7.0 but not the most up-to-date version

    It's just the battery sign - nothing else. I've tried to reboot by holding down both power and home key for 10+ seconds, waiting for the apple logo - but nothing happens. It's plugged into the imac at the moment. I tried to recharge it overnight using the normal charger - but no luck. It went dead during a Skype call with a friend - even though it was powered into the mains - albeit at a low battery level at the time

  • IPAD 2 NO SIM AFTER  IOS 6 UPDATE

    IPAD 2 NO SIM AFTER  IOS 6 UPDATE

    Ditto here. Updated to IOS6 and now my SIM isn't being recognised. Did a factory reset, got a new sim but still not recognising it. Phoned apple - cant downgrade. Disappointing as my Ipad2 worked perfectly until the upgrade.  Apple can you please sort this out? or is it some hardware in the Ipad2 that has made it incompatible?
    If anyone finds a solution please let me know.  I'm going to pop into the apple store and see what they have to say. I'm just outside my warranty but I've looked after the ipad2 really well and now it seems to have let me down.

  • Can't sync iPad mini with iTunes after iOS 8

    iPad is just junk after iOS 8. I was  going to purchase a Mac book air this week, but now I don't know. can someone help me?
    I have tried re syncing several times. i backed up my iPad. The music synced, but most  photos & iBooks haven't. They are in my iTunes i just can't get to them.
    thanks,
    eileen

    Waiting for items to copy generally means there's some corrupted file that's gumming up the works. Often if you be patient and just let it sit and let iTunes do its thing, often it resolves itself.
    I had an issue with the music on my iPod. It took me about half an hour waiting and it resolved itself.
    Or you can try to sync your photos and books a few at a time and see if you can find the file that there's an issue with.

  • Refurbished ipad won't restore

    refurbished ipad won't restore or start up.  Only have had it for 2 weeks.

    If the above fails you can download a free programme called Recboot. Follow the simple instructions and it will kick you ipad out of the recovery mode and bring it back to normal. I jave just used it myself as mine was stuck in recovery mode due to a corrupt back up file.

  • My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

    My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

    I was having the same problem, I backed up my phone and then updated to iOS 5 and then it kept telling me it could not restore from my backup as it had failed.  After reading a bunch of forums and posts and trying everything, I did manage to get it to work.  I had tried the Time zone, creating a new computer user account, disabling anti-virus, etc.
    It took a combination of things, one of which was disabling the anti-virus completely and copying the contents of the backup folder to my desktop and then deleting everything in the backup folder.  Then I rebooted the PC, entirely disabled the anti-virus, copied the one backup I wanted to restore from the desktop to the backup folder and then trying to restore.  Low and behold the phone said restoring from backup and I am back in business, so when in doubt, trying combining some of the fixes together.

    If you were restoring to a backup or resetting back to factory defaults, then have you tried recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097 ?

  • Ipad 2 won't charge after ios 7.0.3 update

    After the ios 7.0.3 update, I had to restore my ipad2. Now, it won't charge. I have tried different plugs and outlets. I have also reset it and restored it, again. Nothing worked. Has anyone had this problem and any luck fixing it?

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
