Trouble shooting the restore process iPad 2?

My ipad 2 is not taking the restore process, this is realy giving me a hard time. Please help!!

Try and force your iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

    Make sure that you pay attention to the section at the very of the article that talks about having never synced your iPad with iTunes. You may need have to restore the iPad that way.

    Hi Jo,
    Each router is a little different but here are the basics: login to the router using the administrator account, should have that info from the installer, and then you should find something like security settings, or it may be advanced security.  There will be a setting to the effect of limiting access, or it may say allow Mac address authentication, or admit the Mac addresses in the table...if that is switched on, you can just switch it off and that will allow any wireless device to attach.  If you want to keep it on, then you have to enter the Mac address for the device you want to use for access.  In the case of the iPad, go to Settings > General > About > WiFi Address (another way of saying Mac address).  Enter that very long sequence in the router's Mac address acceptance table and that should take care of things.
    Using the Mac address does not change any of the email settings, just limits attaching to the router in the first place.
    If you are already getting email, you must be attaching already so this should not be an issue.  If you are having email issues, such as receive but not send, you may not have the outgoing server set correctly: Settings > Mail > Account > Outgoing server name (usually an SMTP server) and you may have to go to the advanced settings to enter the outgoing password (normally the same as the account/incoming password) and then check to see if SSL is ON or OFF...most common email services say to set to OFF.

  • HT6029 Having trouble restricting the restore function on an iPad through Apple Configurator

    Having trouble restricting the restore function on an iPad through Apple Configurator
    I cannot find the setting the allow/disable this feature.

    Configuration profiles do not allow you to apply a static IP address to a device.
    Instead, it would be highly recommended to configure static IP addressing within the DHCP server itself. This would accomplish what you want without worrying about which proifle goes on what device, etc. Configurator can also export the MAC addresses to make life easier in setting this up.
    Right click the 'All Devices' in the Supervise tab, click Export Info > Device Information > WiFi MAC Address.

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • My phone switches off after showing horizontal lines on the screen during the restore process and then shows the error 9 problem. please help i am so stressed.

    Hello
    My iphone  4S switches off after showing horizontal lines on the screen cutting through the apple logo during the restore process and then right after my iTunes shows the error 9 message, this happened 2 days ago when my phone just switched off unexpectedily and has been in this recovery mode since then. i have watched videos on Youtube and i have disabled Firewall before starting the process, i think i have done almost everything. please help anyone what do i do from here?
    Just for interest sake i watched this video on youtube where this guy had the same problem  but the difference is that he had it on an iPad. he opened the ipad up and did something on the ipad, it took less than a minute then his ipad worked.
    I would appreciate it if someone would respond to this as fast as they can i am so stressed.
    Regards

    Error 9 is usually a security software issue.

  • I sold my iPhone4, and I need to restore it before shipping it. The buyer has asked that I don't install iOS6. Is this possible? Does the restore process force iOS6 onto the phone? Before I backup/restore it, it has iOS5.1.1 installed.

    When iOS 6.0 updating my iPhone and connecting my iPhone to iTunes the only option I have, is to restore my iPhone. But ufortunately, I did not back up my iPhone before the updating. Is there any way I can avoid the restoring process?

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • Trouble shooting the export function

    I am a new user to CS4 Premiere 4.1.0 as part of my master suite program bought 2 weeks ago. I can't find any trouble shooting help or explanation of error messages in the program's help section; I have tried most of the trouble shooting steps (other than reinstalling the entire suite) from the knowledge base on the Adobe site without any success; and finally would like someone on this forum to rescue my newly installed Premiere from disaster. Here is my problem:
    ---- when exporting utilizing the media encoder; after exporting and clicking on the encoder to start , the program would come back with the following error message " PProheadless has encountered an error. [..\..\Src\Remote Import Module. Cpp-250]". I can't find any reference to this error code and how to fix it on the Adobe website. I have tried to fix it for days now without any results. Without being able to fix this my programs are useless to me.
    Not finding any reference on the Adobe manual to the error code or how to trouble shoot the program is really demoralizing and disappointing to me. You can see PProHeadless as a program on the computer's hard drive but you won't find any reference to this program throughout the Adobe website.
    For reference my hardware specs. are: i7 920 CPU, 6 G DDR3, Asus P6T professional work station main board, 160 G SSD SATA C-Drive, 1 tera byte SATA D and E drives, the GPU is nvidia GTX 285 with 1 GB ram, 1000 Watt power supply in a mini tower, plus Sony Blue ray, OS is Vista 64 premium. The computer is dedicated to editing video. All programs are loaded on C; the D drive is used as working space and virtual ram. E drive is for storage. The only other program running is Avast anti-virus program. The file exporting problem stays even when Avast is uninstalled. All the devise drivers are Vista 64 compatible. The computer is brand new; dedicated to Premiere - not even Microsoft word is loaded.
    In addition to the above exporting problem, every time I switch between loaded programs such as between Premiere and Firefox, the cursor would stay in the "wait" mode, i.e. in a spinning circle,  for about a minute before turning into an arrow in Premiere. It almost feels like Premiere has to reload the ram all over again; this is really annoying and time wasting.
    If I have known of these issues, I would have bought a Mac Pro with Mac software in the first place.
    I would really appreciate some help from friends and experts on this forum. Thank you.

    Do you have a dynamic or fixed dimension table?
    Looks like you have a fixed dimension table here...
    Using -> [*] is to specify each instances of that object inside the subform specified... Here if you have more than one PSI into Row5 it would work... But as I understand you have to write only Avg(Row3.PSI, Row4.PSI, Row4.PSI)
    If you have a dynamic table and your row is only named Row1... each instances of the row would be Row1[0], Row1[1], Row1[2]
    So in your Average function you would only write :
    Avg(Row1[*].PSI) and it would return the average of each rows

  • I have to restore my phone but it doesn't complete the restore process.

    I did something wrong and it's making me restore my Iphone in Itunes. It goes through the process but once it gets to the restore process it goes a little bit and then just stops. I let it run for a couple hours but it never moved. I tried numerous times and each time it stopped. Please help. =(

    Let your iPhone charge on the Wall Charger for 30 minutes and then try the Restore again. If still problems, and you are still under the 1 year Warranty or have AppleCare, then take iPhone to Apple for fix.

  • HT201413 I keep error 9 when i try to restore my Ipod 5.It seems to be that my device disconnects during the restore process, then error messege pops up. I have updated the security settings on my pc and it still doesn't work.

    Error 9 pops up when trying to restore Ipod 5. The problem seems to be that my ipod disconnects during the restore process. My ipod is stuck in restore mode so I can't access its update serever. I have already updated my pc and its security settings. Is there anything else i can try?

    Hello AS234,
    This error is typically indicative of a conflict with installed security software.
    Configure your security software
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Common errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.

  • TS3694 my phone has switched off for the second time this week, however when connecting to itunes the restore process wont complete. the error is 2006 however i have tried a number of USB cords, and none seem to be working.

    I am in the noerthern [parts of australia and accessing an apple store is not possiable for another month. this is my only soucrce or telecommunication. please help

    This is what it says about error 2006
    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.
