When trying to restore my iPad (2?) it turns back on, also I have forgotten my password which is also stopping me from restoring it.

Okay so the battery on my iPad doesn't work, I'm not sure why but my iPad only works when it is on the charger, I have left it on the charger all day but it still stays at 1% battery. Also I'm in a bit of a pickle as I have also forgotten my password (For the iPad) and I am currently trying to restore the iPad. I have tried restoring it and it has the symbol saying "Connect to itunes" while being on iTunes and restoring/updating the software in my iPad my iPad turns back on, and then iTunes requests the password for the iPad (which i have forgotten) and it is unable to complete the update. So yes I'm not sure why the battery doesn't work, it may have been a charging problem? idk and I also have tried all the passwords I would know. I ended up locking my iPad out for 600 hours ish. Also before I had the sudden urge to use my iPad it had been unused fpr about 2-3 months. I'm unsure of the operating system, I suspect it is iOS.6.1? or earlier.
Also I have a new PC so I haven't backed it up before or synced it on the new PC, I don't really mind losing and data.

Not sure if this also helps but I think my iPad is iPad 3, I have the small charging outlet.

HT201210 Error when trying to update my ipad

I got an error when trying to update my ipad saying it could not be updated and gave an error 6. Has anyone else had this happen and how did you rectify it?

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 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. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/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 iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

When trying to update my iPad 2 to iOS 7 I keep getting the message that it has stopped because the file is full. There is plenty of room on the iPad. It also says to check the settings. What do I do now?

When trying to update my iPad on iTunes I keep getting a message that the download has stopped because the file is full. There is plenty of space on the iPad. Also, the message says to check the settings. What am I supposed to check in the settings? What do I do now?

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

Does anyone get failure EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) when trying to Sync your Ipad with Itunes ?

Hello,
I encounter a problem when trying to sync my iPad.
The problem occurs after a few seconds when syncing and after that everytime when trying to open iTunes.
I did not install anything in particular and have still over 20gb of free space on my hard disk.
The first lines of the error message are displayed below.
I have tried everything I found on the internet (such as deleting a specific font in my font library), but nothing really made the error disappear.
Did anyone encounter the same problem and got rid of it ?
thanks in advance,
mathieu

I have the same problem recently.
I emailed them, and a tech/support person emailed me back and told me it was a potential third party app causing it.
She said if you have any: web accelerators, firewall, or other stuff running it would cause it, but I tried to disable and unistall programs and still the same problem.
Also I tried to uninstall and start fresh and same deal, even with a new stand alone version, same problem.

When trying to sync my iPad to my computer, I get the error "the iPad is synced with another iTunes library.

When trying to sync my iPad to my computer, I get the error "the iPad is synced with another iTunes library. An iPad can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time." I only have one iTunes account, so I am a little confused. If I select the option to "Transfer Purchases, I get an error message that says "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
Any suggestions is appreciated.

Have you synced to this computer before?

I keep getting "the network connection could not be established" error message when trying to update my iPads and iPhone to iOS 5.1

I keep getting "the network connection could not be established" message when trying to update my iPad, iPad2 and iPhone4 devices using either my iMac or MacBook. The Macs and iOS devices are apparently working correctly otherwise. Problem started about a day ago when I connected one of the iPads to my iMac and iTunes notified my of an update for the device. I tried and got the above message. Tryied other iPad2 and iPhone4 and get the same message. Also, get same message when trying to update using the MacBook. My system SW is 10.7.3 on the iMac and 10.6.8 on MacBook. iTunes is version 10.6. Have gone thru the check list of things to check and have re-started. Would appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

Another user named Springbk posted a fix that worked for me as I was having the same problem today:
I Changed my DNS settings to OpenDNS
On a Mac go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES>NETWORK>ADVACED>DNS
change DNS by adding ( + )
208.67.222.222
then
208.67.220.220
click okay/apply after. then try the update. after the update, just delete the two open DNS server numbers. should revert back to your old one.

Try to go to Settings and then Store. Tap to your Apple ID and select View Apple ID. Now choose to check your payment information and when you're done tap Done. I had to rewrite my three digit code of the credit card and now it works.
Oh, I also activated Genius for Apps but I don't think it makes any difference.

Boy sure what you are doing but the current iOS level is 7.1 not 7.0.4.
You cannot update to 7.0.4.

When trying to activate my iPad 3 I get a message that the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Does anyone know how to help me activate my iPad?

When trying to activate my iPad 3, I consistently get a message that the activation server is unavailable, Please Try Again. Does anyone know how to help me?

It is not bricked... I think I finally found the way: http://www.imore.com/how-fix-activation-errors-iphone-after-installation-ios-7-b eta.
The above artical started to help.. but eventually I did the following:
1) put device into DFU mode
http://www.imore.com/tip-put-iphone-ipad-dfu-mode
2) when connecting ipad to itunes, itunes was aware of DFU mode. Just selected the update and itunes downloaded the correct new OS (iOS 7.0.2) and did it's thing.
Note: there was no need to download an older version of iOS. In fact, I was always rejected when attempting a downloaded ipsw. iTunes always said, "This device isn't eligible for the requested build".
Device Info: iPad 3 wifi. Software was iOS beta 7 (7 release 5 I think).

When trying to restore my iPad (2?) it turns back on, also I have forgotten my password which is also stopping me from restoring it.
