Tried to update my iPad wifi+3G tonight. Got error message in iTunes:
The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1014).
I'm stuck now and can't use my iPad because the iPad goes to recovery mode, and when I try again, the same thing happens. Have tried about 6 times. One time, tried and I believe succeeded in getting into DFU mode - dark screen on iPad while iTunes said it had found a device in recovery mode - but that restore ended up the same way.
No iPad now. Bummed. Is this hardware? I hope not. Please help if you know anything about this. I can find very little about this error.I am still unable to restore my iPad, and it is therefore still not usable.
Here is the loop I have been going around - NOTE - this is not a recipe for success here - I'm just describing what I'm seeing and doing detail, in the hopes there will be an additional clue here in how to fix things:
1) Select files in ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates/ and drag to trash (there is a single ipsw file). (Note, I also trashed my iPhone Software Update file from last night, on the thought there might be a cross-up somewhere - made no difference).
2) With iPad plugged in, showing "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode" on Mac, and showing Recovery Mode graphic on iPad (USB cable -> iTunes), get iPad into DFU mode as follows:
Hold down iPad Power and Home buttons until iPad disappears from iTunes screen.
Release iPad Power but continue to hold Home until "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode" on Mac, but now with a dark screen on iPad (no USB cable -> iTunes graphic on iPad)
3) Click Restore in iTunes, then click Restore and Update in the Are you sure… dialog in iTunes, then click Next, then click Agree in iTunes. iTunes shows Downloading 1 item, iPad Software Update (7 minutes remaining).
Note: iPad screen still dark all this time
After the download completes, there is a bunch of activity in iTunes, with messages like (probably didn't capture all these messages):
extracting software
verifying ipad restore with apple
preparing ipad
waiting for ipad
preparing ipad software
Eventually a long progress bar shows up on iPad
The progress bar starts to move with messages like this in iTunes (pretty sure I did not capture all the messages here):
Restoring iPad Software
Verifying iPad Software
Verifying iPad Restore
Finally, the iTunes dialog end up like this:
iPad:
Restoring iPad firmware…
and the progress bar on the iPad gets very near the end, but not quite. It sits there for maybe a couple of minutes.
Then, in iTunes, this dialog appears:
The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1014).
and on the iPad, the recovery mode dialog appears (USB cable -> iTunes graphic).
I've been around this loop a number of times now.
Not sure where to look for error messages in any log files on my mac.
Any other ideas?
Thanks for reading. Sad I don't have an iPad anymore... -
greetings.
I just tried to restore my first generation iPad and got the following message:
The iPad could not be restored. Unknown error (40).
has anyone else had this and found a wasy to bring the iPad back to life?
I have tried all the trouble shooting ideas that iTunes led me to... very sad...
many thanks,
Shannan.Try and force your iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer only
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times. -
HELP! Firmware update failed. iPhone could not be restored Unknown 6
I wanted to upgrade my iPhone's firmware.
Plugin, backup, sync, etc, update downloaded and it began, extracting, preparing iphone, preparing software, then finally restoring iPhone.
IT NEVER FINISHES, I get an error code unknown 6, could not restore iphone.
I repeat, same thing every time.
I uninstall iTunes, even deleted my backup so everything is gone, reinstall, same thing
Created a new user account in windows so that it is forced to redownload the update, guess what, same thing.
Has anyone else encountered this problem and did they resolve it?
Thank you so much
MattI thought I should chime in even though some of the issues have been addressed.
I downloaded 2.0.1 yesterday evening. The download was relatively fast. The upgrade process began.
I am generally very finicky and always want to watch the progress meter. I have noticed that with Apple products (as Microsoft), the progress meter's generally mean nothing.
… Fast-forward about two hours. I come back to the computer and the upgrade is still doing its thing. It was stuck at the Restoring iPhone Software section. The iPhone became a brick the phone displayed the lovely connect to iTunes graphics.
I decided to kill the session and try again. iTunes began the upgrade yet again, but this time it stalled at the section right before Restoring iPhone Software.
I spent a good four hours working on this thing. I downloaded the latest iTunes hoping that would solve the problem. Again, no success. I also tried deleting the USB driver with no luck.
I went to sleep on the third attempt thinking it is taking its sweet time. I wake up at 3AM or so, and it is again, stuck on the last bar of Restoring iPhone Software meter.
It was at that point I decided to try something different. On a whim, I install iTunes on another computer. I plugged in the iPhone, downloaded the upgrade, and in about 30 minutes the upgrade completed successfully. I actually got a more consistent progress meter on the various updates. The iPhone restarted and iTunes recognized the phone instantly.
I plugged it back into my primary machine, which was giving me trouble, and everything is hunky dory.
*So, if you guys have been trying everything and are going insane, perform the upgrade on another machine.* It solved my problem and three other users’ issues that were having the same problem at work. -
a message comes up when i plug in my iPod shuffle (version 1.0.2) and when i click to restore and update message comes up saying iPod could not be restored unknown error occurred (1430)

My brother gave me his old iphone when the touch screen went out on mine. It's in great shape but when I received it, it says that it needs to be connected to itunes to be restored. I have done this and it goes through the whole process then says iphone "iphone" could not be restored. unknown error code (-1). There is not a -1 code on the list and I have tried most of the suggestions.
Does my sim card need to be in when I am doing this? And any other suggestions?I did put it in DFU mode but its still not working, although everytime it shows your iphone needs to be restored. Kindly help.

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! -

I upgraded my new Ipad to OS to 6.0.1 today.
Right after update visual feedback on app store was simply not there.
You press install, it does not give you the "now installing" feedback. Yet you find out that the program is installed after couple of minutes!
Right after this I started to wish for 6.0.X or so...
Then I tried Nasa Spacecraft 3D app which was already installed.
The program run fine, then while the camera was active, Ipad decided to reset itself... over and over and over again...
I did the home and sleep button gimmick, no result... never booted up again but got stuck in reset over and over again mode.
I tried to connect to itunes and recover the pad but not use... The following image is the heartbreaking message from iTunes...
When you press "More Information" you simply get to reach this topic which is seemingly unrelated, yet I posted this here..
Will take it to the service first thing tomorrow, but Apple is about to lose a lot of hard earned credit on my sideGuys,
I am facing simlar issue. Could you pls let me know if are able to solve your iPad issue. I also download the iPad2_2_4.3.2_8H7_Restore.ipsw and tried to Restore using shift-->Restore and selecting the downloaded file. Following sequence take place:

HT201210 IOS 7 Update failed, then could not restore
Update of I-pad unsuccessful, then a dozen restore attempts unsuccessful from 2 different PCs. Same error message each time: "Ipad could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).
I now own an I-Brick. Thanks for the "update" Apple.This worked for me
Go to this site - http://www.ipswdownloader.com/. Enter your device, the model, and under the firmware menu, pick iOS 8.0. Then plug your phone into iTunes, and with the device window open, hold alt/option for Mac and shift for Windows while you click Restore. Next, select the .ipsw file you just downloaded, and wait while your phone wipes itself clean.
from there you can restore to this newer version and later you can restore the date from the backup -

Premier 9.0 Update failed. Could not apply the updates
I just did a reinstallation of Premier and made an update via Adobe update. I get this error. Update failed. Could not apply the updates. The error log can contain informtion to help you identify the problem. Then try to update again. Contact Customer Support if the problem persists.
The error log
Update Software for Premiere Elements 9.0.1
An error occurred while downloading this update. Cancel and try again later. Error: U43M1D207
I have tried several times but i can't solve it.
Does anyone know any tricks to love this

This question has been asked several times recently.
Do not bother with the issues of Premiere Elements 9.0 Help Menu/Update. Waste of energy. These updates involve only 9.0.1 and Camera Raw up to no more than 6.5. There is no more to be gotten after that.
The remedy is quick and easy.
Download and install the 9.0.1 Update from Adobe. You can do the download and install with Premiere Elements 9 closed.
If Windows
Adobe - Premiere Elements : For Windows : Premiere Elements 9.0.1 update
If Mac
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4930
If you need Camera Raw 6.5 Windows (See instructions for manual install)
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.5 update
If you need Camera Raw 6.5 Mac (See instructions for manual install)
Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 6.5 update for Elements 9
Please let us know if that worked for you. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.
