My iPad will not restore after an issue when synching

I have been having problems with my iPad. I have been trying to synch it and it gave problems and now appears to lost everything on it. I have connected it to iTunes and tryed to do a rstore but about half way through it says it has detected an iPad that requires a restore and then completes but does not do the reset. How do I rest the iPad to take it back as a new device and try and start again from there ?

I have tried this repeated with no success. I think my only option to take it back to a new iPad. How do I do this ?
Recovery mode does exactly that.  At this point, you need to contact Apple Support 800-275-2273 in the U.S.) and get help there.

    Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.
    If this all fails then:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • HT201210 my Ipad will not restore after trying to update what do I do?

    I tried to update my Ipad to 6.0 .  NOw I am getting an alert that was unable to restore!!!  What do I do?  All I was trying to do was add some music to my IPAD!!

    Did you get an error #? What iOS version are you currently running?
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

    Hi! I am having the same problem. What's odd is that a few days ago- the ipad was connecting to the network fine. No changes made. Other devices can connect to this network. I have also been able to connect my ipad to other networks.
    I have reset all network settings, reset my ipad, reset the router, hard stop reboot, turn on/off wifi connection. what's interesting is that when i click the arrow next to the network i am trying to log onto- the ip address, router, and dns numbers come up automatically and the router number does not fill in (also- this process takes a long time- at least 5 minutes).
    any thoughts?

  • Contacts etc. will not restore after an upgrade to...

    I just backed-up my N95 then I upgraded to V11.0.026 (Vodafone). Now it will not restore this back-up or any back-up from previous months, it wont even sync with my N70 to get some numbers out of that!!!! Upgrading it was the biggest mistake I could have made, I only did it because of the constant lock-ups. Any ideas? Do I need to take it to Carphone Warehouse for a DOWNgrade??

    I remember the backup being an issue after the upgrade to version 11. Mine backed up Contacts only and not Calendar. In fact I remember reading somewhere that it actually warned you about the backup issue before you did the upgrade.

  • Ipod will not restore after update

    I downloaded the new version to make app. to my ipod touch and I was told to restore my ipod to have the update. Now my Ipod will not restore and I have lost everything in Itunes also. What do I need to do?

    I just did the install of 2.0.02 last and I had one dickens of a time restoring my library. Here is what happened to me. Right before doing the update it tells you that all of your music, videos etc.. will be removed from the Ipod Touch once the update is done installing. So I found a DVD and burned my library to it. Then I went ahead and did the install. It clean my Ipod Touch clean, but my iTunes library was still intact so I thought all will have to do is resync it but that didn't work. I tried and tried. I disconnected my external HD. Oh yeah by the way this is a new computer that I just bought and last night was the first time I used iTunes on it so I had to populate my library using iGadget.
    Anyway, I realized that I didn't have manually manage my iTunes library unchecked I unchecked it and it began to sync the back up copy I had of my library. Did either of you back up your library before installing 2.02? Do you have a place where most of your music is stored outside of iTunes? You cannot have Manually manage library checked it won't restore if you do. Be aware though 96% of my cover art was gone with this restore. How annoying. I don't know if this is the information you were looking for but I hope I have been able to shed some light on the issue.

  • My iPad will not forget a wifi connection when I click forget

    So the subject says it all I'm staying in a hotel for work and get the free lite version of wifi but tried to download a couple movies off of iTunes and since I have a crappy slow wifi it takes forever so I'm trying to forget the network and reset it and pay for the faster wifi connection but it will not forget the wifi I have hooked up now PLEASE HELP

    Hello Joulec,
    I was looking into the issue you are experiencing and have come across some info that might help you out.
    I recommend first, to turn off the iPad, and turn it back on.
    Restart iPad
    To restart iPad, first turn iPad off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPad will turn off after a few moments.
    Next, turn iPad on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    from here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/application/#section_4
    Also the Network Settings may need to be reset. Our Wifi troubleshooting article named iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398 outlines how to do that.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings, including passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • 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.

  • After updating to os5, my iPad will not restore. What do I do?

    When I attempt to restore my iPad it first says: An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1).  When I hit okay on that it then says: iTunes could not restore the iPad because an error occured. I have gone through all of the suggested tips on the website but it is still not working. Any ideas?

    All sorted now!!
    Check out this thread by MrCEO
    Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"
    The answer is to:
    set up my iPod (or iPad - should work the same) as a new iPod. Then in iTunes I synced everything as if it was a new iPod. After the sync was complete I right clicked on my iPod on the left in iTunes and selected restore from backup. I selected the right backup file (the older version, not the one just created) and it worked!!
