My iPad worked beautifully until I tried to update iOS. now it is dead.
my iPad 2 worked beautifully with iOS 6.1.3. got a notice to update to iOS 7.0.3. Kept getting error message. a kind person online advised me to connect my iPad to my laptop and sync with iTune. I made it sure that my MacPro had the latest iTune version. After 3 hours of downloading, I got a message on my MacPro that the iPad could not be restored. The unknown error occured (2001). So I disconnected ipad from Mac. Now I cannot open my iPad. All I see is the picture of the charge plug tip with an arrow pointing up to iTune logo. when I reconnect after restarting my MacPro, I get the same message.
Is there anyway I can go beyond the current frozen screen on my iPad and go back to the old version of iOS 6.1.3???? please help. I live in very remote area and very far away from any Apple store. Please. Please.
As you guessed. I, like millions of other users after the update had their iPad go into "recovery mode" only to have the only way to get OUT of it, by restoring it to factory settings.
Luckily, having had problems with Apple / iTunes before, I had a back up from the beginning of the year, sweet! I can just restore it to that and life is good. NOPE! Since the update, it made the backup incompatible with my iPad. Seriously? What kind of person creates an update for a device that denies backwards compatable capabilites...FOR backups!?!? Now I'm stuck trying to find some program that will decode the backup files, because you know...it would be too simplistic to back up devices NORMALLY so that you didn't have to use third party programs to fix backups....to back up your device.
TL;DR: How do I restore my device to a backup. Anyone know of any free third party software that can restore, backup restores?

Hi there I have a iPhone 3G and it was with O2 but needed to go onto 3 network so someone on my local market unlocked it and the phone was working fine until I tried to update it through iTunes and it always now stops loading towards the end with an error is there a way to get the phone working again please.Shame you had the iPhone hacked as O2 usually unlock their customers iPhones happily.
We cannot discuss your problem as it is in breach of the Ts&Cs you agreed to on registering
However hint ....you have probably trashed it -
My iPad works perfectly except when trying to update apps. Then I get a message that says "Cannot connect to the iTunes store."
Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
If that doesn't solve it then what has worked for some people is going into Settings > General > Date & Time and change the date to a few months in the future and then re-trying -
HT1222 Why won't my Apple PW work when I'm trying to update iOS? Plz help!
Hello~
I am trying to update from iOS 7.1 to iOS 7.1.1. When I enter my Apple PW, (the PW I used to log on to this site) it says it's invalid. What I'm I missing? I really have no other ideas as to what PW's it could be asking for. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!Since the update verifies you by your Apple ID, it needs the password that is associated with your apple ID (which may be different from the password you use here with your user name). So, you need to use the password you use to purchase apps, music, etc.

I am having problems with i-photo. It automatically closes after 10 seconds. the warning box gives no guidance. Anyone else had this problem?
What "warning box"?
Assuming you're using iPhoto 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

My Ipad Mini Remote app worked consistently until I upgraded my iTunes. Now it stops working.
The Remote app worked consistently until I upgraded my iTunes. Now when I first open on my ipad it will work but on subsequent tries it won’t connect and tells me that I have to turn on home sharing (Which is already turned on). This is using my ipad mini to connect to iTunes on Win 8.1
Very frustrating. I wish I hadn't downloaded the iTunes update!Look at this similar post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3816868?start=15&tstart=0
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

im trying to update IOS version, have done everything as recommended. however, it doesnt seem to be working, when i try to buy a tune i am again prompted to update to new IOS version... can anyone offer any advice
Is this an iPhone or iPad question? You posted in the iPad forum.
See
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Just tried to update iOS on iPad 3 and it is totally locked up. How can I restart?
Tried to update iOS and the iPad is stuck on the Apple logo with the status bar at about 90%. It will not even turn off with the power button. How can I restart it?
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally. -
how can i get ios 7 in my ipad 2? i have tried to update it but in my setting>general there is no icon for software update.so help me please!
If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

I did an update on my ipod touch, now it says it is in restore mode. i don't want to lose my info, but my ipod won't do anything now. thanks itunes; it was working fine until i did the update you said i needed. what do i do now??????
No one here said anything about an update or your device needing it.
FYI, you are not addressing Apple here, we are all users like yourself.
If the device is in recovery mode, the only option is to restore it. All data on the device is gone. This should not be an issue if the device has been used as designed and regularly synced/backed up. -
I have an old ipod. It worked great until about 2 months ago and now it says I need to restore my ipod but I can't unless I format it, but everytime I try, it says the format could not be completed. Is there anything else I can do to get it to work again?
No app is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

I'm trying to update iOS on my iPad. I don't have the software update option
That's because you need iOS 5.0 to get the Software Update option.
