Translation:


I CAN'T TAKE MY IPAD OUT OF DFU MODE, IT CALLS ME ERROR 4042 IN ITUNES, IT'S ON A BLACK SCREEN, I CAN'T RESTORE IN ANY WAY AND IN ANY WAY. IN 3 UTOOLS I GET A MESSAGE "IT CAN'T BE TAKEN OUT IN DFU MODE."



Attempting a forced-restart may exit DFU (Restore) mode:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.





Apple doesn’t explicitly list error #4045, however, 4000-series errors are often associated with the host computer having difficulties contacting Apple’s servers. Communication difficulties of this nature are often linked with Anti-Virus and/or firewall software running on the host computer.


While you do so entirely at your own risk, try temporarily disabling your AV/Firewall software - and then repeat your attempt to restore your iPad.


Otherwise, you may need to seek assistance directly from from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using this link:

Alternatively, if you have access to another Apple device, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:
