I have the same problem. Check updates for the iPhone is well and good, but not for the iPad.<</div>

Yep. Exactly the same here. I was just checking to see i iOS 4.3 was about yet. I do not have a SIM installed, and previous updates have worked fine. So, I've no idea why I am now getting this error message.

Hi,

If the firmware update was installed, there's no need to click update again.

Try restating your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.

Restart your PC.

Try again.









Carolyn 🙂

Just wanted to say it seems to be caused by an unfinished install... Here are my observations:

History
- Never had any problem with iPad with the exception of disapearing iBooks.
- Last sync was at least 2 weeks ago.
- I bought a few apps (on the iPad) and updated iTunes a few time (on the Mac).
- I decided today to fix my iBook problem with a re-install) and proceed with an update of iOS to v4.3 while I am there...

Problem
- I now get error 1651 every time I sync my iPad.

Solution
- I turned off FW on the mac.
- Re-sync the iPad: no error.
- I switched FW back on.
- Re-re-sync the iPad: no error.

Everything seems to be working fine.
