Restore 5.1.1 error ipad 3

Issuing iPad 3 7.1 I want to restore the iPad 3 to Version 5.1.1 How can I so

You can't, Apple does not support downgrades on Ios, you can only install the latest software version.

My iPad 2 will not restore using iTunes. It keeps telling me - the iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknow error occurred (4) - I have tried every suggestion I could find so far. Any ideas as to what I can do?

My iPad 2 will not restore using iTunes. It just quit a week or two ago and showed that I had to connect to iTunes.
When I do the "restore and update" it does not complete the "verifying iPad restore with Apple" and then shows the following message:
The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (40).
I have tried it a number of times. Also turned of anti-virus and firewall. Tried on different computers. All resulted in the same message. The iPad is only 2 1/2 years old, so I hope it can be fixed.
Does anyone have a solution?

The iPad could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1)

As a lot of people had last night the Apple servers were very busy with iPads and iPhones upgrading to iOS5... So I waited until this morning to upgrade.
iPhone 4 no issues at all and now using iOS5
iPad (version 1) backed up but not is coming up with the following error:
The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1)
Typically error 1 isn't on the list and I can only find a handful of similar comments with no luck in fixing this.
The error appears when trying to restore the firmware and I have tried rebooting my mbp and iPad multiple times. I have even resorted to installing iTunes on my Windows 7 PC where I also get the same error.
Anyone had any luck in getting past this?

I am having this same problem. I haven't plugged my ipad into my computer in 6 months or so but some of the apps (like ABC shows) are now asking for the the iOS5 so I figured I needed to go ahead and get everything updated. I have an ipad1 16G, with wifi and Verizon 3G and am using itunes on a pc. The cellular was turned off when I plugged it in, but the wifi was turned on. It is now stuck in an endless loop where it tells me that itunes has detected an ipad that needs system restore, but when i try to restore, it eventually comes back with an error that says "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1)."
I plugged in and updated my iPhone 4 and it updated no problem.
I see that all these notes about this problem are back from October and November of last year. I'm wondering if anyone has had it recently or if a solution has been identified?
It sounds like if I keep trying the restore over and over again like 100 times, it might eventually work? I don't think it's fair for me to have to buy a new device since it was apple's update software that broke it.

The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1)

I tried to update my iPad 2 (Wifi, 3G) to ios 5.1.1 over the air. I left it running at night because it said approximately 3 hours to download. In the morning it had the connect to itunes symbol (Basically in restore mode). I have tried restoring it and it runs well until it gets to restoring iPad firmware. It gets stuck here for maybe an hour and eventually says " The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1). I have tried it on three different computers running windows 7 and MAC OS but i get the same result. We dont have any apple stores or service centers in my country. It is a relatively brand new iPad as i have only had it for about a month, it has not been jailbroken or anything. So i really dont understand why this is the case. Apple doesnt seem to have any solution for this from what i have googled. Is there anyone who has succesfully overcome this problem. Please help. Apple you need to get your act together because it is soooooooooooo frustrating and you dont seem to be doing anything. I have wasted 3 days trying to get this thing to work and nothing.

FYI - This is an iPad user to user forum. Apple doesn't read the forum posts.

HT201210 First app store behaved weird than total crash! Ipad could not be restored. An unknown error occured (9)

I upgraded my new Ipad to OS to 6.0.1 today.
Right after update visual feedback on app store was simply not there.
You press install, it does not give you the "now installing" feedback. Yet you find out that the program is installed after couple of minutes!
Right after this I started to wish for 6.0.X or so...
Then I tried Nasa Spacecraft 3D app which was already installed.
The program run fine, then while the camera was active, Ipad decided to reset itself... over and over and over again...
I did the home and sleep button gimmick, no result... never booted up again but got stuck in reset over and over again mode.
I tried to connect to itunes and recover the pad but not use... The following image is the heartbreaking message from iTunes...
When you press "More Information" you simply get to reach this topic which is seemingly unrelated, yet I posted this here..
Will take it to the service first thing tomorrow, but Apple is about to lose a lot of hard earned credit on my side

Ipad 2-Wifi cannot be restored or turned on, error 1600

About a week and a half ago, I was using my iPad 2 as normal. Later that day I went to use it and the screen would not come on. My device is about 2 months out of warranty. Apple doesn't seem to care about repairing it so I figured I'd turn to you guys. I took it to the store and attempted to get phone support. The apple "genius" just told me since it was out of warranty, I had no choice but to replace it for $250. The phone tech basically gave me the same run around. I know this thing is fixable. I have spent probably 10-15 hours researching the internet for answers.
So when I plug the device into the computer, iTunes detects it as being an iPad 2 and that it is in recovery mode. I have tried this on multiple computers both windows and mac. Previously the device was running 6.1.2, but since Apple feels they no longer need that, I have downloaded 6.1.3. I attempt to restore it, but it just gives me error 1600. Like I said, I've tried multiple computers, along with several different sets of cables, and usb ports. Please help!

From 2nd link below:
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Follow the steps listed below for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

Error 1 or -1
This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Usually this is caused by your antivirus or firewall blocking iTunes access to the Internet. It can also occur if the phone is jailbroken or if the computer you are using was ever used to jailbreak an iDevice.

When I do I get The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (3194).
