  • Has anyone been unable to restore their iPad after attempting to upgrade to ios5? error 1

    Has anyone been unable to restore their iPad after attempting to upgrade to ios5? I get an unknown error 1 message. Thanks.

    I have the same problem. Something happened during the download and froze iTunes. After spending three days searching these forums with the dead iPad, the only thing I got to work was to try downloading iOS 5 using my sons computer. This worked. However I cannot now get my computer's iTunes to sync with my iPad.. It contains the same error message (1602) and has the same problem as before. It is not an antivirus problem. I need some help too

  • I have mislaid my original Apple ID which means I am unable to restore my IPad from factory settings

    I have changed my Apple ID from the original ID that I used to set up my IPad & I haven't kept a record. This means that I am unable to restore from factory settings after an update error.

  • Unable to restore my iPad via iTunes

    Hi guys,
    I am looking for help to restore my iPad. I tried to restore my iPad via iTunes on PC in the morning, however, the process of downloading Apple software update was stopped at the last mintue as it was almost completed. iTunes popped up " Time out" and the whole process was sucked. I tried to redownload this Apple software update three times and I spent my whole moning from 8am to 3 pm , I still could not complete the downloading.
    After failing to restore my iPad, my iPad still could be turned on but my ipad become garbled. I totally don't have any idea what it was going on my iPad.
    I had no choice. I only could restore my iPad by settings > general > reset > erase all content and settings. Without connecting iPad to iTunes on PC, my iPad could be restored smoothly within only 10 mintues via WI-FI.
    I am so frustrated on iTunes. Is there someone who can tell my why I can not restore via iTunes on PC? I haven't encountered this problem before, it only happens after Apple releasing iOS 5.
    Thanks a lot!

    Have you tried disabling the antivirus during the download?

  • HT201274 I am unable to restore my iPad. The help screen says to select my device but this is not shown "near the top of the iTunes screen" which is what the help file states

    Help file is misleading. To restore, I have connected to my Macbook and stat-rted itunes. The screen per the help file does NOT appear on my Macbook itunes software

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

  • TS1591 If I am unable to restore my IPad, what next?

    The battery on my IPad dropped quickly to 1% from 5% AFTER I had put it on charge - it then flicked betwen my password screen and the Apple logo.  I left it overnight and by morning I had the 'connect to ITunes to restore' symbols and message - I connected my I Pad to my PC with ITunes and followed the instructions on screen, I did this and was able to click the restore button onscreen in ITunes on my PC.
    However, it would not allow me to restore my settings presented me with an error message, telling me to check my netwrok connections and or try again later - i have had multiple 'tries later' and still get the same message - I also am not convinced my I Pad is charging!
    I have tried:
    - changing plugs
    - changing adaptors
    - trying different computers - lap top and PC
    - checking my broadband
    There must be power going to my IPad to inform me to connect to I Tunes but I need help !!!!!!

  • TS3694 I am unable to restore my iPad. Unknown Error occurred (3004)

    I am unableto restore my mini ipad. The message "The iPad, "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (3004)

    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes can't contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software isn't interfering with ports 80 or 443 or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow these steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (go to "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you're using a proxy, try again without using a proxy.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
    Error 3004: If you're using a Mac, you may be able to resolve an error 3004 by quitting iTunes and using the following command in the command line: dscacheutil -flushcache.

  • I am unable to restore my iPad. iTunes keeps coming up with "unknown error (3004)" I have updated my Windows, tried searching for apple updates, but keep being told "cannot connect to apple server" HELP PLEASE

    The whole problem started when I was syncing my iPad to update it. iTunes for some reason, put it into recovery mode. I have done all the hints and tips for the error code, checked my internet connection & tried to restore on another computer, but it required an update of iTunes and would not connect to Apple server either.

    Here is the work around:
    When and if you get the same error it will prompt you to select one of three choices:
    You have to select the LAST choice ---either Cancel (if you do this you will keep going around in circles), Restore to YOUR settings (which is really a trick question), or Restore to Factory (sorry I can't recall exact language)
    Then in itunes select your ipad under "Devices" if it doesn't automatically...(YOU CAN SKIP TO #5)
    There will be 3 Boxes in the "Summary" screen for you to choose from:
    VERSION: DO NOT SELECT RESTORE, BACK.. I selected "Back up to this computer", OPTIONS: click on which ever box you desire (I did #1 & #2). Then I selected "CONFIGURE UNIVERSAL ACCESS" and hit "OK".
    In the bottom right hand corner you will see two choices, select "SYNC" and your ipad & computer should start the syncing process which could last a LONG time depending on how much data you have backed up.
    Sorry if this doesn't work for you but it's working so far for me! Good luck...and Apple please don't do this again! So very confusing!

  • Unable to Restore my iPad after software update

    I just updated all Apple software and went to sync my ipad with itunes...it would not allow me to restore with my back-up information it kept saying there was an error while trying to restore. It gave me 3 options, cancel Restore to factory settings, or Restore with back-up (or something like that.).
    The only option I had was to restore to factory settings in order for me to get past it after the 10th time. I powered off (held off switch for 10 seconds) let it stay off for 5 minutes. I also powered down my Windows PC and then reconnected my ipad and tried to restore again. It still gave me the same error. So it looks like I have lost all of my applications and everything I had.
    I am now trying to sync again to see what I can do to retrieve all my data but it automatically canceled my sync!!
    Help!! All of this because I tried to update to the new software? I LOST everything!!!!!
    Please help me get my ipad back the way it was (all of my apps and personal information)!
    Thank you to anyone with answers!!
