IPad won't restore through iTunes

iTunes software is fully updated. My iPad Air is disabled. After putting the device in recovery mode, I plug it in, iTunes identifies device and I click the "Restore iPad..." button. I confirm again, and then nothing happens. Any suggestions?

After disabling my firewall, the restore was successful! Thank you so much! You're the best

  • IPhone frozen in recovery mode and won't restore through iTunes.

    I tried to download the software update ios7.0.4 through itunes, and now my phone is frozen on the blue itunes icon with the image of the plug. I've recovered it several times through itunes, which completes the restoration then tells me the iphone should restart. But when it restarts it goes back to the same blue itunes icon.I have also made sure my itunes is updated, my security is not problematic, restarted my computer several times, and restored through a different computer. All the information I can find tells me to recover through itunes. This is not working. Please help?

  • HT201442 My iPad won't restore via iTunes, now it won't even turn on!!

    I've followed their support but it's still not worked.
    Since I bought the iPad I've never plugged it into my laptop (Windows 7), until this morning when I wanted to put some photos onto there.  So when I plugged it in it did a stupid set-up thing I couldn't "skip" because it thought it was a new iPad.  It needed an update so I clicked update - it wouldn't do it because there wasn't enough memory and now It's saying I need to restore it (recovery mode).
    I click on the button to restore it and it comes up with, "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored.  An unknown error occurred (3194).
    I am REALLY ANNOYED as I can't use my iPad at the moment, and when I click on restore it says that all data on the iPad will be lost (so Im not happy about that at all!!!!)
    How do I solve this, I've followed all their support steps, but it's still not working.  There is no local apple store by me either - I live in the middle of no where and study full-time and work part-time, so am unable to travel to the nearest store during their opening times as they clash with my hours!!!
    PLEASE HELP!!

  • IPad 3 bricked after IOS update, will not restore through iTunes

    Hi,
    I have an iPad 3 wifi/3g model that bricked after an IOS update 7.0.6. The update failed at about 70% (Apple Logo with progress line on screen) and rebooted into recovery mode. I've tried doing a restore through iTunes mulitple times and even looked at jailbreaking it but no luck. It always fails during the update and I have tried muliple computers (Windows and Mac) Different networks (Home/Work) but the issue is still there.
    The device won't go into DFU mode and in itunes it shows the serial number as n/a like the iPad has no software on it at all. I've tried everything I can thing of and I've had plenty of experiences recoverying and restoring IOS devices in the past. Tinyumberlla and other utils won't get it out of recovery mode and now iTunes won't even try to load the firmware back on the device, it just fails after extracting software.
    I'm thinking its now a hardware issue, does anyone have another solution to try?

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

  • 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.

    Hi clarity,

  • Had to reset Ipad to factory settings, now Ipad won't sync to Itunes and apps that aren't factory installed will not open. Is there anything I can do?

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help. There was something wrong with my Ipad so I had to reset it back to the factory settings. Now the Ipad won't sync to Itunes and only factory installed apps will open. Does this mean that this Ipad is DOA and it is time for a new one? Or is there anything else I can do?  It is a 1st generation Ipad.
    Thanks for the help in advance.

    if all that does not work you can always try to do a recovery mode restore back to factory settings and then set it up as a new device then try to redownlaod every thing again

  • Help!!! ipod won't restore on itunes

    my ipod won't restore on itunes because it says this check your network connections are connected and your network connection is active or try again later. i have no idea what this means and i have tried again later and it hasn't worked. also if i can restore can i get my things back? thanks

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    - Then try on another computer
    You can restore from backup to get things back
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up      
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • While updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

    while updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

    Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
    If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

    How do i restore my iphone when it has been disabled and cannot be restored through itunes because of the error message that says "The iphone software update server could not be contacted

    Have you jailbroken this device? This will make the iPhone not talk to the Software Update Server (that signs and accepts software updates) please refer to the following link? Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    The iPhone will talk to the software update servers, just need to change the host files, it's a simple process, sorry if you were confused about the wording in to top?
