iTunes 10 aborts iPad update with error 1631

Hi all,
I've just switched to iTunes 10 and tried to "search for updates" for my lovely iPad 32GB+3G (without using a micro sim). But iTunes 10 aborts my update reques with a errorcode 1631. The message is like that: "itunes was unable to search for updates for the network operator settings for your iphone."

iTunes 9 was working fine. My iPhone is working with iTunes 10 as expected.

So, what should I try, before downgrading to iTunes 9 again?

iPad 32GB+3G, Mac OS X (10.6.4), Not using a micro sim

I upgraded to itunes 10 (awefully long and slow process) and now my netbook cannot find my ipad. Windows Xp can. The ipad registers on itunes with the same cable on another computer.
I have followed the advice on the Apple support page
1. Have stopped and restarted the ipad service
2. uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 10
3. uninstalled itunes 9 and reinstalled itunes 10 (the itunes libary will not read and itunes fails to start)
4. have reinstalled itunes 10

And still itunes 10 will not find the device.

This has been a totally awful experience worthy of a microsoft vista award
