IPAD2 corrupt will not update or restore

I have an IPAD2 32 GB with 4/5 GB of free space. Have had a very slow keyboard and had done a reset a few days ago with no problem. Software was up to date as of this morning 8.3. Did a reboot because of the continuing slow and delay issues with the keyboard/. When I went back to turn it on, screen said connect to ITUNEs. Did so. ITUNEs has the latest update both on a Windows 8 laptop and on a Windows Vista PC.Both show the ID of the IPAD. Efforts to update say there is a corrupt file although it does download and process the file. Anti-Virus is in pause protection. At one point got a error 1671 message. Tried to restore but got the the same corrupt message. Appears stuck in a loop. Help!!

Were you trying to restore from an iTunes backup? Your backup may be corrupt. Try restoring but choose set up as new:
Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
If that works & if you have also been backing up to iCloud, then you can choose to restore from your iCloud backup.

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.

Ipad2 5.01 will not update or restore,

I received an email from Apple about offer for iPhoto for Ipad at $4.99 so I jumped on it. Item was purchased but would not install, that is when I noticed it will only install on OS 5.1. So I tried to update from 5.01 to 5.1 and the update fails. Say's Internet connection failed, yet I can surf the web, update app's, and do just about anything the Ipad is designed to do. My Ipad just will not do an update. So I disabled my anti-virus, on my Imac, hooked my Ipad back up to my computer and tried just about everything I could find on the web. As a last resort I decided to try a restore and this too fails. Any suggestion? Original Ipad purchased thru Apple, no jailbreak...

IPhone 3GS will not update or restore

Got my iphone 3gs replaced under warranty, the new iphone will sync everything as normal, however it will not restore, also when i press check for software update i get this message:
"the iphone software update server could not be contacted."
"make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later"
i have tried putting into recovery mode and dfu mode via the wake/sleep button & the home button, but i get no joy i get same message.
i have tried uninstalling and disabling my firewall no luck there
i have tried everything everybody else has tried and still no luck.
i un-installed itunes and re-installed with latest version 9.2.1.5.
i also tried updating itunes via help then update and i got following message:
"the itunes server could not be contacted. please check your internet connection, or try again later".
this has been happening since yesterday since i tried to put iphone in dfu mode, cos on the net i found a few people saying if you put in dfu and do a full firmware update it wipes everything off iphone, then restore via itunes back up and you should get better battery life and performance using the IOS4.
now on my other iphones i had, 3g and iphone 4, these features worked perfectly, i am now very cheesed off and can't even restore normally let alone in dfu mode.
since getting the replacement 3gs it is the first time i have checked these features so i don't know if it could be the iphone itself.

Its now working, i think it had something to do with talk talk and apple.

Phone will not get out of recovery mode/will not update or restore

Iphone will not get out of recovery mode. I have pressed the home and lock screen at the same time, and nothing happens. I connected it to iTunes to try to update my phone or restore it, and it will not do anything. The progress bar shows up on the screen but does not make any progress and iTunes says it cannot connect to my phone. I have tried everything and went to the AT&T store and they told me to contact Apple support. What do I do now?

You will have to restore it from Recovery Mode

4GB iPod nano will NOT update or restore

I have iTunes 7.0.1 and a 4GB iPod nano (2nd Gen) on Windows XP SP2.
When I plug it into my computer, it appears as a removable disk (even though "Enable Disk use" is unchecked). When I load iTunes, it does not recognise it.
If I then quit iTunes, eject the disk through Windows Explorer and stop the iPod service (via My Computer > Manage > Services & Applications > Services or via Task Manager), then reload iTunes, the iPod service starts again and my iPod appears in iTunes. Great.
However, if I then go to update the iPod with the new 1.0.2 software, once it starts to update, something ejects the iPod and the progress bar in iTunes just sits there. The iPod has been ejected and will never update. I cannot restore it as it does exactly the same thing.
I've just paid good, hard cash for this iPod nano and I can't use it?! Why oh why did Apple put the iPod updater software INSIDE iTunes??? That's a recipe for disaster, as can be seen by the multitude of posts on this topic in these forums and elsewhere on the net.
Before you ask, yes I have tried all the USB ports, yes I have tried other computers, yes I have stopped all anti-virus software, yes blah blah blah. I keep getting error 1415.
I'm really narked off with Apple about this. If they cannot provide a working solution, then it's going back to the store and I'll get a Zune... (that's a joke by the way...)

SOLUTION

I had the exact same problems before, iTunes doesn’t recognize iPod after connecting it, I had to use the restart iPod Service method to get it working.
I tried this on my second computer and it worked perfectly, iTunes recognizes iPod every time I plug it in.
I compared the process/services opened in both computers, and I turned on some services which were previously on disable(excluding iPod Service). Unfortunately I forgot which services it was, so I took some screenshots and compare these with your services.
After modifying the services, I tried plug and unplug the iPod several times without closing iTunes, iPod was instantly recognized by iTunes every time!
I attached the links to screenshots of my automatic services and manual services, ignore the service if its not on your list!
For those don’t know how to open Services, Start -> Run -> “services.msc”

IPod will not update or restore

Whenever I try to update my iPod I get a pop-up that says it can't be updated because the filmware file could not be found, and when I try to restore it all it does is delete my files but it still won't update it. Could it be because I'm not using the same computer as I was first using when I set up my iPod? Plus there's a dicoloration on the screen, that's new, but I don't think it's related.

Do you have iTunes 7? If not try downloading it. Then plug your iPod in, go to the iPod summary and you will see an update button. Click it and it should download the latest update. And i don't think the restore button updates the ipod, just sets the iPod to all the setting that it was on when you first got it. (not sure someone might need to clarify this)

2nd gen. iPod -software too old but will not update or restore HELP!!

Please Help! I've followed all update protocol and itunes 7 is installed, up and running etc, but..
I hook up the ipod and this message appears:
Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod "Kit-Ying's iPod" because your iPod software is too old.
I go to the summary tab in iPod preferences and click Update to get the latest iPod software update.
I'm looking in the summary and it says 'your iPod is up to date' (so the update button cannot be highlighted)
The only other option is to click on the "restore" button, which I've done
over and over again... Only to get:
'contacting the iPod software update server'
And nothing happens.
I cancel and then get this message:
"there was a problem downloading the iPod software for the iPod "Kit-Ying's iPod". The requested resource was not found.
Tried manually restoring the thing and as soon as I hook it up again the
same message appears (software too old etc)
Am I missing something here as I feel I'm going round and round in circles!!
PLEASE help me!!!
ibook Mac OS X (10.3.9)

hmmmmm.
Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod "Kit-Ying's iPod" because your iPod software is too old.
in your "Summary" page, is itunes displaying the correct icon for your ipod?
is a Movies or Photos tab appearing there?

IPod touch 4th Gen will not update or restore

I've been trying to update my IPod Touch via iTunes and now it is stuck in restore mode. You got to update and download the software but it doesn't install and keeps taking you back to restore but it just downloads the software update again etc etc. The iPod itself just shows the connect to iTunes on the screen and will do nothing else. What can you do to stop this and successfully restore?

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
