Restoring again and again

Hi there.
I've got stuck into the recovery mode after iOS upgrade and now I have to do the restore. I may be obligated to do the restore more that once or twice(because of errors maybe). And now I'm want to officially know whether restoring again and again is going to damage my iPad 2.
Thanks

Here is not the place to find that officially since Apple is not here.
I really doubt that restore should hurt it.
If you are still uncertain about that take to an Apple Store and ask them.

    Hey, There are afew things you can try.
    - Simply turn your phone off and back on again
    - Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
    - Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
    this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..
    - Close all open applications
    Hope this helps!

    If you restored as new, without using a backup, and still only get an option to restore, there is a hardware problem or the phone was previously hacked (jailbroken, downgraded iOS, unauthorized unlock).  Your only option is to take it to Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.

    Hi there balaji007,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the articles below helpful.
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

    he advises restarting by inserting the OSX disc and pressing down the C button to reboot from there then selecting disk utility, hard disk and repair.... Does he mean me to hold down the C key on the alpha keyboard or the ctrl key?
    Should I just ask for my money back??? If it is a simple repair do I just literally push the disc in, push the power button and hold down the C button?
    That's where I would begin, too, with
    Repair Disk
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.TStatus of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it saysanything but Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior
    First we need to determine if the issue you are experiencing with the computer is software or hardware based. Once we have gotten things sorted out there should be time enough to make you decision about keeping or returning it.

    This is Linda again.  The new iPad actually as not restored on my employees computer. I thought it was working.  Message said the device is in recovery mode and can not be restored.  I have been at the Apple store for a total of 6 hours and on the phone with support for at least 4 hours.  And now the replacement has crashed???  Has this happened to any one else?

    Maybe:

    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. .

  • ITunes 11.0.3 asks for password again and again, have re-done my credit card details, have changed my Apple ID password, tried to log in and out of iTunes, none of thos seem to work, just keeps happening without end, please help

    I have tried to re-install iTunes 11.0.3 at least 6 times.
    I have also downloaded iTunes 11.0.3 at least 5 times.
    I have changed my Apple ID password.
    I have downloaded (again, I've done that many times) iTunes 11.0.3, then I switched off the iMac, then restarted the wi-fi modem.  Switched on the iMac, loaded iTunes, same problem.
    I tried to just switch off the wi-fi, did the same as point above, same problem.
    Even tried to change the system date to 2038, this only seemed (although I doubt it) to fix the "not responding" issue which I had this morning.
    The Apple ID password issue, where it asks me for the password loads and loads of times (probably 50 times or more), one after the other has been happening for about 3 days now.
    Here is a copy of my message problem:
    iTunes Problem, can't seem to find a solution online.
    I am running OS X 10.8.3 on an iMac, have just loaded iTunes 11.0.3 a few days ago.
    Firstly, I'd open iTunes and it would immediately say it was not responding, I'd have to force quit, try again, re-boot, try again etc.  I tried re-installing iTunes, changing password, everything to no avail, then changed my date to 2038, and voila it started responding (no, don't ask me, I just read in online and was desperate enough to try it).  Of course, I don't believe that this actually helped, I would like to know what did help or if there is something specific one needs to do to fix this.
    I have not been able to get rid of this problem:  Whenever I try to make a purchase it asks for my Apple ID password, dozens of times until I give up and press cancel, cancel, cancel.
    Why does it do this?  I don't want to purchase anything because I can't keep typing in my password again and again.  I'm not exaggerating.
    As I mentioned, I have tried to re-install iTunes, about 6 times, and I changed my password.  I still get the same problem.
    Also, my iTunes still looks like the classical iTunes and doesn't have the new interface.
    Has anyone experienced this and was able to fix it, or does anyone know what the problem is?  Please help, I'm at my wits end.

    Because too much time has passed I can't edit this into the prior comment, but here is the info regarding reverting to iTunes 11.0.2 (assuming you do have a time machine backup) from https://discussions.apple.com/message/22057703#22057703

    Repairing permissions doesn't fix it.
    I reverted to the previous version, 11.0.2.
    1. Quit the new crash-prone iTunes.
    2. Delete the app.
    3. Restore v. 11.0.2 with Time Machine.
    4. In your iTunes folder look for a folder called "Previous iTunes Libraries", find the latest one.
    5. In the iTunes folder itself you'll see "iTunes Library.itl", delete it (or compress it and save a copy for later just in case.
    6. Copy the newest .itl file in Previous iTunes Libraries to the iTunes folder and rename it "iTunes Library.itl".
    7. Launch the older version of iTunes.
    My crashing has seemed to have ceased with a revert to an older version. I noticed today that the newer crashing iTunes had been launched for hours but not playing anything, when I played internet radio it crashed within 5mins, fed up I reverted to an older version.
    Btw, a simpler way to do this is to revert to older iTunes app, then hold Option when it launches and choose an older library.

  • What's wrong with my ipad2? I just can't bear it always restart again and again when I just play a simple game!

    What's wrong with my ipad2? I just can't bear it always restart again and again when I just play a simple game! What's wrong with the apple without Jobs?!

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.

  • MY PC IS WORKING VERY SLOWLY AND HANGING AGAIN AND AGAIN

    HELLO
       MY NAME IS AKSHAY RAHAR & I HAVE A HP LAPTOP (PAVILION G6 WITH 500 GB HARD DISK , 2 GB RAM , 1 GB GRAPHIC CARD ). IT IS WORKING VERY SLOWLY AND HANG UP AGAIN AND AGAIN .. I REBOOTED IT 3 TIMES BUT I'M FACING SAME PROBLEM PLZ HELP ME ....

    There are many reasons why a PC " behaves" this way.
    These annoying " gliches" may be caused by an overloaded hard drive, overworked CPU, Malware, running 2 AV 's, unnecessary data, Browser addons or you may have unnecessary programs running in the background etc....
    What follows is a series of generic troubleshooting steps that you may care to try...
    Make sure all intake/exhausts vents are clean along with all fans.
    Get some temp monitoring software. Download cpu-z and gpu-z (both
    free) and keep an eye on the video temps
    It could be a hard drive that is going bad or corrupted.
    To check a hard drive see Check Disk...
    In an administrators account type cmd in search.
    In cmd type sfc /scannow.
    This will report and fix minor problems.
    Take note of what is said at the end.
    Should your computer freeze, try to do the tests in safe mode.
    Go to search, type device manager and look for any yellow warning markers.
    Type event viewer, in search (by start button) > Windows Logs > Application
    Look for RED critical errors that say app hang, app crash, or anything that relates to the CURRENT problem.
    Note the event ID, and the source codes and Google search them.
    If overclocking, restore to original.
    Try in
    safe mode; report back if it works properly.
    Clean boot.
    You may discover what is causing your problem.

    Hello<!-- XXX you may wish to edit this greeting, and other parts of the response so that it is personalised to the question asked.-->,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. <!-- Starting in Firefox 31, the Firefox uninstaller no longer lets you remove user profile data.Ref: Bug 432017 and https://support.mozilla.org/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer/discuss/5279 [Fx31] Windows uninstaller will no longer offer the option to remove personal data -->
    Latest Version of Firefox Beta(Stable One) is 35.0 Beta 8
    Please report back to say if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • Dreamviewer CS5 opens but shuts down right after first view again and again...without no error information

    I have Adobe Premium CS5 for MAC. My Dreamviewer CS5 opens but shuts down right after first view again and again. With no error information.
    I have tried to download it again (web download link) with reopening the computer, but still it does not work.
    Did not ask any serial numbers at all so I assume I was able to "smell" existing program on computer.
    As Dreamviewer is part of bigger package, do i have to install only this program, web design set or what?
    Do I have to download some other programs to get it work? All other graphic and web programs open and work properly.
    What to do? Will it install it again if not uninstalled first?

    For something like this, I would try clearing the program cache first: Deleting a corrupted cache file
    Then restore preferences if the cache trick didn't work: Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6
    And finally, if neither work, reinstalling using the cleaner tool instructions here: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

    It's happening again .. the dreaded 'Sign In Required' every time I fire up Photoshop CC. After signing in I am then asked to accept the Adobe Software License Agreement. Photoshop then checks if I have a valid license. I have been on the CC subscription program for two months and have no complaints about Photoshop or Lightroom but I am getting tired of having to sign in. It does not happen all the time but why does it happen at all?
    Any solutions anyone?
