Hey there charlottefromwilliamsburg,
I see that you are experiencing and issue when attempting to update your iPad. Here is an article for you that may help you address this error:
Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-kw/TS3694
I would suggest that you particularly pay attention to the information in the following section, which addresses error codes such as the one you have been given:
Check for hardware issues
Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

I attempted to upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1.1. I selected 'back up' from the phone in the device menu and iTunes confirmed that the phone had been backed up. I then installed iOS 5.1.1 which wiped everything on the phone & now I am getting the error "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".
I have tried restoring factory settings but iTunes simply will not restore from back up & I'm not sure what else to do!
Any advice would be much appreciated.I have the same issue and I KNOW my backup IS good. What happen is when you try to restore your phone apple says something like can I check for new updates and if you choose no, it just takes you back to the restore screen and a loop from then on. If you dont update from you phone then when you back up you will have the 5.0.1 back up and then when you update to 5.1.1 and then try to restore the backup from 5.0.1 it say it EITHER corrupt or incompatible.. It is incompatible and its hard as **** to restore back to 5.0.1. I followed the restore to a T and still getting errors. I lost all text history and have to reset up email. All just because I wanted a 1.2 Gigs of "other" space back.

Hi guys,
I backed up my phone on i cloud and now I am trying to set up my new Iphone 5 from the i cloud. I have got all my data and some very important numbers in the last back up.
Now when I try to back up from the i cloud it is saying back up incomplete. PLease guys I need some help in order to restore the data back on to my phone.
Many thanks.If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test: Go to...
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options. Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup. If that doesn't work, then this post will not help. If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup. If successful, keep repeating these steps. If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail. (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one. -
Today all my BookMarks disappeared in Safari, when I checked my iphone I watched them disappear from there and the same on my iPad. I then thought why not check my Parallels side and Windows Explorer. They were there for a few seconds and then also gone. Any ideas on how to restore and stop this from happening again? My iCloud setting are set for Safari sync.
Then you have misunderstood what iCloud is.
First. It is not a back-up service. It is a sync service.
That distinction is very import. A back-up service would have backed-up your bookmarks but iCloud's function is to synchronize your data, in this case your bookmarks, to all your devices. A backup service, by it's very nature, would allow you to roll back to a previous version of your data or file. No such roll back function is present in iCloud's services.
For example, if you add a bookmark to Safari on your Mac that same bookmark will be added to all your other devices that are connected to your iCloud account. Also, if you delete a bookmark it will be deleted from all those devices.
iCloud does not make a distinction between deleting one or all of your bookmarks and it will do the same to all your devices. It does not know that was not your intention. That is why it is very important to have Backups and Apple makes it very easy using Time Machine and a simple hard drive connected to a computer.
Let's see if your bookmarks have actually been deleted or if there is another problem.
Your bookmarks are stored in a .plist file the following directory, ~/library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
To get to that directory go to the Finder, select the Go to Folder… menu item in the Go menu and enter ~/library/Safari/ in the field provided. There you will find the Bookmarks.plist file.
Select it and hit the space bar on your keyboard to see a preview of the files content. Does it still contain references to your bookmarks? If it does still contain references to your bookmarks then something else is going on and we'll have to find a different solution. -
When setting up my email account on the iphone 4s- it just stays on verifying.
Any ideas whats wrong?
Many thanksThe verifying message can take longer than usual as it needs to obviously verify.
Sometimes the program can become way-layed and stop working.
A few suggestions i have to make would be:
Click the home button twice, hold down the apps until they shake, and delete the mail and settings applications open.
Then reload the email and try and verify again.
Another suggestion would be to hard reset the phone, which would involve holding the home button and the lock button together which evidently crashes the phone.
That could refresh the data and allow you to access your email.
Similiarly you could set up another email address using the same email operator and see if that works.
If it doesnt, it might be worth trying a different email address e.g. Trying googlemail or hotmail.
Not sure how you set up your email account but try either of these methods.
Go onto settings > Email, contacts and calanders > add account > Choose your email type > enter username and password.
The other way would be to go into the mail app and set your email address and password through that.
If all else fails, try downloading a 3rd party application which can run your email account.
e.g. I have a Googlemail 3rd party application which i find is more accessibly friendly.
Best of luck. -
HT3275 I get the message that backup failed because the volume is already in use. Any ideas?
My Time Machine for my iMac has suddenly developed a problem: on repeated attempts to do a backup, it returns the message that the backup failed because the volume is already in use. The solution to the problem may well be simple and obvious, but it'll be a revelation to me and any help will be gratelfully received.

It says the original file can not be located. If I do find it under documents it can not be accessed. (faded prilnt)
Probably not every one, but you will have to do it several times. Right click on the name of the song, show in window's explorer and when it can't it should give you a dialogue to find the song.
Once it finds one it'll offer to find more and you can locate stuff that way. -

Have just downloaded iSO6 to my ipad and now facetime will not work properly. It will take incoming but will not allow to make a call. Could anyone offer suggestions to the problem please?
Hi Deb,
Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go. You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:
