"There is a problem with your device"

And.......it's fixed. 🙂

As a side note.. I found out today that Apple Stores cannot exchange your broken iPad1 for a brand new shiny one at the store. They are now sending them in for repair, and/or mailing you a new one. Supplies are dwindling they say, and most stores don't have any on hand.. big difference from when I had iPhone issues in the past, when almost 99% of the time they would just hand over a new one and take your old one. So definitely consider this, and be sure to find out what they are going to be able do for you before making the trip to the store..

The updates to this thread saved me at least 2 hours in the car today. That. Rules. Thank you 🙂

Solved in Malaysia also.

What a big joke from apple. I should change a shining Ipad.

I actually sent mine for warranty claim last night. Hope it's still with them now so that I can go collect it soon. Wonder if this happened to EVERYONE who updated their firmware or just some selected batches of iDevice?

Hi

As one of the OPs from Friday night ( seesm like a lifetime ago!) just to report that mine's finally unbricked too now. Not a pleasant experience but I'm glad it's sorted now - and thanks to you guys - without you I think I might have questioned my sanity!

I'm still getting sync issues with my Original iPad 3G. See image below. I'm assuming these problems are related.

I had this problem (India). my ipad was bricked. but then found a solution at:

1. remove the apple activation server ip from the hosts file (looks something like gs.apple.com)

2. restart your PC.

3. restart your device in recovery mode

4. Load the stock 4.3.3 ipsw from iTunes.

From Spain. Hi folks, my iPhone 4 4.3, during the day yesterday died from 13:32 until 19:10. What happened? I'm calling from work, as I now manage me that

I did a restore this morning and now it's working. Must have been the activation servers in my area (southern US).

Working fine in Brazil!

Apple, please ... take care with this kind of incident!

DO NOT ask us (CUSTOMERS) to go to a assistance

store without anything to do.

Sincerity with the customers is ALWAYS welcome.

My iPad 2 revived. I'm in Cyprus.

this is still going on

slightly ridiculous

this device is too expensive for this kind of stuff to go on, I thought apple 'just worked'

update to motto, "It just works...until it doesn't, then it's $29 for a new case and $79/hr for ongoing support"

theiving moneygrubbing ba$t....

I am also having the issue with my Ipad 1st version. it downloads it and then advises that it was not able to complete the download due to a network error though there are no issues. I have repeated several times after rebooting etc. but to no avail. looking for answers.

Hello I think i have a anwser i had this problem very recently and here is my advice. I first tryed reintalling itunes and called apple support for help. It didnt really help very much. But then i thought and found a way to update or restore it. I was trying to update on my mac that already had itunes so I grabbed my PC and dowloaded Itunes I then authorized the computer then signed in to my account. Then i simply plugged my ipad in and clicked update it downloaded the firmware and then went through to update process smooth with no errors. That is the way I did it I dont know if there is a way to go to Mac from a PC but you could always try. Good Luck

hosts file set to 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com (use administrator for notepad)

run tinyumbrella as (administrator)

run itunes

restore using latest itunes? doesnt matter

shift restore 4.3.3 point to the file.

Should be on 4.3.3 after everything is correct

ohterwise refer to redmondpie
