Tried restoring my new ipad using itunes.   "The ipad "ipad" could not be restored.  an unknown error occurred(1611).  What now?

Tried restoring my new ipad.  ipad could not be restored.  error 1611.  What now

I just had the same problem but managed to restore by:
- Download latest version of iTunes.
- Right- mousebutton on the iTunes-icon and choose "administrator"
- Use usb for ipad (docking).
- Use usb directly into pc, mac. Don't use from screen.
- When iTunes is "preparing iPad for restore" and the apple-symbol appears (that was the moment my iPad stopped to continue the restore), then push the rest and start button once at the same time. My iPad started to restore.
Good luck!

    Can't authorize my account.

    Good Afternoon, kulafuss,
    I'm not sure if your two questions are related, but let's start with the steps to authorize your your computer for iTunes:
    Authorize your computer in iTunes - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201251
    Authorize your computer before you use it to sync or play content that you download from the iTunes Store.
    When you authorize your Mac or PC, you’re giving it permission to access your apps, audiobooks, books, music, movies, and other content. You can authorize up to 5 computers, which means that you can play your content on 5 different computers. You can authorize a computer only through iTunes on that particular computer. You can't authorize a computer from another computer or from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.How do I authorize a computer?
    Open iTunes on the computer you want to authorize.
    Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
    You might need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
    Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
    If iTunes asks you to authorize your computer again, it won't use a new authorization. iTunes uses the same authorization for the same computer. What happens if I run out of authorizations?
    If one of your 5 authorizations is on a computer you don't use much anymore, deauthorize it. If you've sold or given away a computer that used one of your 5 authorizations, you'll need to deauthorize all of your computers and then re-authorize each one you still use.
    Windows users:
    If you didn’t deauthorize your computer before reinstalling Windows or upgrading your RAM, hard disk, or other system components, your computer might be using multiple authorizations. Try deauthorizing your computer a few times until it’s no longer authorized, then authorize your computer again, and it will use only one authorization.How do I know how many computers I've authorized?
    If you've authorized more than 2 computers, you can see how many are authorized.
    Open your account in iTunes and sign in with your Apple ID. (Or, open iTunes, click Store > Sign In, and enter your Apple ID and password.) In the Apple ID Summary section, you’ll see the number of computers that you’ve authorized with your Apple ID. You can’t see the names of those computers. 
    Do I need to authorize my iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch?
    No. You don’t need to authorize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but you do need to associate your iOS devices with your Apple ID. Your iOS devices don’t use your available authorizations.Get help
    Learn more about iTunes authorization.
    iTunes keeps asking me to authorize when I try to play my content.
    I need to deauthorize a computer or deauthorize all computers.

    The resource below will provide some intial troubleshooting steps when you receive error messages when updating or restoring iTunes software.  
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-ng/HT201210
    You can fix most update and restore errors with a few simple steps. Try these first:
    Update iTunes.
    Get the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
    Update your OS.
    Install available updates for your Mac. If you have a PC, you can get PC software updates from the Microsoft website.
    Check your computer’s security software.
    You might need to update, change, disable, or uninstall software that’s causing an issue.
    Unplug extra USB devices.
    Keep only your iOS device, keyboard, and mouse plugged in directly to your computer.
    Restart.
    Turn off your computer and your device. Then turn them on again.
    Try again.
    Update or restore your iOS device again.

    thanks

    if itunes can no longer pickup your ipod, and you cant even do anything to your ipod, your best option is to either call apple care, or just take it to the nearest apple shop. i had a similar problem, mines currently at apple care repairs and they might just end up giving me a replacement.

  • When I attempt to upgrade an app in iTunes for windows, I get an error:  "Could not purchase.  An unknown error occurred (11111).  There was an error in the iTunes Store.  Please try again later"

    When I attempt to upgrade an app in iTunes for windows, I get an error:  "Could not purchase.  An unknown error occurred (11111).  There was an error in the iTunes Store.  Please try again later"
    I am running the latest iTunes 10.7.0.21 for Windows 7.
    This error occurs if I try to either update the app or if I delete it and attempt to redownload.
    I have an iPhone and an iPad.  I am unable to update the apps or install the apps from within the App Store on iOS.
    I do not have an AOL ID, as is a common issue with this type of error.
    From what I can tell, my Apple ID account seems fine.  I logged in, changed some information, and ensured my credit card is valid and updated.
    I can download new apps just fine.  I am unable to update or install apps I have purchased in the past.

    After 30 minutes this morning, no resolution. Then another tech support call this afternoon, 15 minutes in, was escalated to a Tier 2 (Senior) advisor. He said something similar to the above ("this is one of the strangest things I've seen"). He was chatted with iTunes guys and took all my info into the case and was escalating it over to engineering. Said they would be in touch.
    So, no solution...yet.
    Just to clarify:
    iTunes on Windows7: trying to update an existing app, or re-download a prior app, gives the (11111) error. Downloading a new (free) app worked fine.
    App Store on iPhone5, iOS 6.0.1: click on UPDATE, switches to INSTALLING...for a second, then switches back to UPDATE. No error message (and nothing in Diagnostic data).
    App Store on iPad 3, iOS 6.0.1: same as iPhone 5.
    Definitely account related.
    I have cleared the store cache, signed out and back in, deleted the credit card data, and re-added, rebooting PC and iPhone...nothing works.
    Will post if I hear anything back from Apple.

  • Why am I getting the message "project could not be prepared because an error occurred. (File already open with write permission)" when trying to share my imovie to media browser?

    Why am I getting the message "Project could not be prepared because an error occurred. (File already open with write permission.) when trying to
    share to the media browser?   I have done this many times before and never got this message.  This is very frustrating.  Can anyone help me?

    Hi
    Error -49 opWrErr  File already open with write permission
    Trash the preference files while application is NOT Running.
    Easiest way to find out if this is the problem is by:
    • Create a new User-Account
    • Log out of Your old one and into this
    • Re-try iMovie
    If it now works OK - then 99.9% the problem is iMovie pref. file that needs to be trashed.
    from Karsten Schlüter
    Some users notice on exporting larger projects from within iMovie that this operation is aborted with an 'error -49'
    This issue occurs only on MacOs machines using 10.7x
    try switching-off the Local Mobile Backup
    in Terminal copy/paste
    sudo tmutil disablelocal
    Re-launch Mac

  • The itunes application could not be opened. an unknown error occurred (1301

    I launched iTunes 9.0.1 today and got this error:
    "The itunes application could not be opened. an unknown error occurred (13014)"
    An archived tip on the iTunes for Windows forum that suggested deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb. That didn't work, I also had to delete iTunes Library Extras.itdb. (For the record I renamed them instead of deleting, but the original post suggested deleting).
    Anyway, I thought I'd pass that on in case anyone else experiences this problem.

    I had the same error and I keep my iTune folder on an external drive due to size. I tried to create a sub-folder to temporarirly hold the itdb file(s) and give it a try. The system wouldn't let me create the folder, at which point I remembered I had left my mac on but unplugged to find the battery drained in the morning. Upon plugging it in, it came back but then told me I hadn't exjected my external disk. So, I figured there might be a correlation. I tried to eject the disk and it wouldn't let me though no programs were running. So, I went ahead an chose to "Force" the eject via the option it presented me. On the un/re-plugging the disk, I tried to created a subfolder and it worked. Before moving any files to it, I tried starting iTunes again and voila, it worked. So, I suspect the comment above about files being locked is what bit me. Hope this helps...

  • Im trying to put music on my iPod, but it keeps saying "iPod cannot be synced unknown error occurred". Whats wrong?

    I tried to put music on my ipod and it keeps saying "cannot sync ipod unknown error occured" whats wrong??

    First, 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.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the 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 iPod.  Again, say "yes."
