Restoring and updating iPad 2

I haven't been able to use my iPad for a couple of weeks as the screen has not come on. I tried to restore and update it on iTunes, but when doing this iTunes continues to say waiting for iPad even though iTunes recognises the iPad is connected. The progress bar on the iPad makes no progress. How can I restore my iPad so I can use it again?

  • My ipad wont go out of recovery mode eveytime i press to restore and update it says error 3194 has occured

    my ipad is in recovery mode and eveytime i go to restore and update a message  comes up saying error has occured 3194

    Yes, I'm having the same problem.  My iPad Air worked great on OS 7xx but since updating to 8.01 and now 8.1, the display went crazy.  Now, I'm also stuck in the restore loop and the iPad is useless.  Oops, it finally looks as if it is going to restore as I'm writing, we will see what happens.  All my data was erased as well.
    All for nothing, itunes says the device has been wiped but it will not start (the screen glows and that is all.)

  • HT4097 i cant restore and update my ipad 2 to ios 6 it says error (3194) help please

    i cant restore and update my ipad 2 to ios 6 it says error (3194) help please

    Check your HOSTS file and make sure you are not blocking gs.apple.com.
    Try to launch https://gs.apple.com: It should open the Apple site, and not be redirected to the Cydia server.
    if this redirected to cydia server then
    copy hosts file from this path
    C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
    paste on desktop. open this in notepad.
    add this line in the last .
    #74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
    in some case this line is there without " #" sign. if this line is there then u simply put" # " at the start of this line
    save this and copy this file and past into this path.
    C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\
    replace with existing . yes.
    close and then start the restore process.
    now this will work. Insha Allah.

  • I cannot back up after restored and updated my iPad

    First, my iPad2 ran on ios 4.3.3. Then I backed up it and kept its library and setting
    Next, I restored and updated to run on ios 5.1.1.
    The system (on iPad) asked me to set up as a new one or back up via icould or itune.
    I surely chose the last one because of an old ios.
    The picture of usb cable and itune figure then shown, so I plugged in with my PC and launched itune programme.
    Wonderingly, it didnt have any buttoms which i could back up (plz see the piture below)
    Q : What should I do for backing up it into my iPad?
    PS : I have already followed this http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/#section_7 but it does not help!!!!!!

    That is exactly what I would do with this situation. Like I said I have seen this problem before but I know that I was not able to figure out what the problem was.
    Make sure that you are running the latest version of iTunes on your PC - and you could also try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes to see if that helps. I just don't know if that will work or if that is the reason that you are seeing this.

    Communicate with iTunes? What does this mean? Tell us what you are seeing on your screen and what you then try to do?

Then it says connecting ipod software update server and a screen pops up with ipod software update on the top and iOS 5.1. It lists a bunch of stuff this update contains and on the bottom it says next, which I click and nothing happens, it just goes back to the ipod restore page. Help, what am I doing wrong?

    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

    what to do? pls help
    (iphone 4  and  iphone 4s)

    So I just did this on my iPhone 4 and it worked like a charm it unlocked it immediately. My phone was put into recovery mode and I know that not all data is deleted it just puts the phone into a sort of hibernation in order for the files to stay uncorrupted. I went to http://www.recovery-ipad.com/iphone-stuck-in-recovery-mode.html  downloaded the software it unlocked my phone in a matter of minutes. Calls, messages, photos, apps, and voicemail was all there as if it never happened  If you leave it unregistered you don't have to pay for it works for either windows or mac. Hope this helps!

  • IPHONE 3G STUCK ON RESTORE AND UPDATE AFTER 4.2 UPDATE FAILED HALFWAY THRU

    I plugged my iPhone 3g in to iTunes and a new update was available for it (update version 4.2). So I downloaded it and started the update, and it got to the very last step and it quit and a pop out came saying "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored or updated. An error occurred (37)." And now it the iPhone won't even turn on unless its plugged in and even when it's plugged in it only shows the screen that says to plug into to iTunes, which just keeps repeating "iPhone is in recovery mode, needs to be retored to be used". And I have already done EVERY SINGLE TROUBLE SHOOTING STEPS REPEATEDLY. Nothing seems to work, if there is anyone that can help I would appreciate more than anything, this is my sisters iPhone, I was just borrowing it, now I broke it haha, I could really use someones help.
    I also have an iPod Touch 2g from a year or two back that had the same problem but it was completely black no matter what, holding the home and power button or anything wouldnt work. But it still says its connected but is doing the same thing as the iPhone, it won't restore, it quits right at the end and says the same error message.

    Your antivirus or firewall is blocking the update.

    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

    In other words, either your phone is jailbroken and you are sadly out of luck or you are trying to downgrade iOS.

    The search bar can be very valuable...........
    In using it, I found out other's have had this issue and it likely means you have a 3G iPad?  If you do, go into settings and turn off cellular data, then try to update again and you should be OK........

  • I have been given an Apple 3G which is in jailbreak.  After restoring and updating my phone will not accept any updates or restoration. Unknown error 1015. Please help!

    I have been given an Apple 3G which is in jailbreak.  After restoring and updating my phone to get rid of jailbreak the iphone will not accept any updates or restoration. Unknown error 1015. Please help!  I am new to all this and want to start using the phone legitimately.

    I believe from the situation you describe your iPhone 3g has the iPAD baseband 6.15.00 which is interfering with iTunes. Remember Apple does not allow downgrade of software typically. The current 3g firmware 4.2.1 has a baseband 5.15.04 which is lower than, what I believe your baseband is of 6.15.00. So to install the current 3g firmware 4.2.1 would actually be a baseband downgrade, which iTunes will not allow. So to fix your iPhone you will have to search the Web like diesel vdub said. There are no parts to buy and your iPhone will work again I promise.
