"There is a problem with your device"

even i m getting the same screen as shown by sliders.....and i am from india..i updated it on the night of 13th at 15 minutes to midnight IST...and now my ipod touch is stuck with the error message :

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH YOUR DEVICE (can't believe it!!!!seriously..it was workin just fine before the update)

we're sorry the device you connected may be damaged and cannot be activated for service.we recommend you to visit nearest apple store for more information.

please guys any help would be very much appreciated..and plz just tell me that my device is fine and its a problem with the apple update..thanx neways..!!

I ran in the same issue this morning with my iPad 1 @ 9:30am Sydney AEST (GMT +10)

I have spoken to Apple Care who has no idea what this error msg is but have booked me in this Monday to have it checked or replaced at the Apple Store due to hardware issue.

I do hope it is an activation issue and fixes itself real soon so we can all have our i devices back up and running again.

I am really regreting trying to update from 4.2.1 on my iPad 1 to the 4.3.3.

My story is the same as all of yours.

It bricked, I tried it on a different computer, it looked like it worked, and now it tells me there is a problem with my device.

This is my first Apple product, I never understood the Apple hype before I got the iPad, and frankly, I still don't.

I do like the iPad for reading, internet, music, but I don't think I like Apple constricting how I use everything. Anyway, that is off topic, I think I am frustrated.

The thing is, I do all kinds of stuff on windows computers, but I was a good boy with my iPad, I didn't jailbreak it, I paid for my apps, etc.

It is a really frustration that the problem was caused by an Apple update, not jailbreaking, or virus, or even hardware failure.

Same stuff is happing to mine and I am from the United States. It looks like this just recently affected people. I hope they can get this settled with out costing me money for their mess up.

**** APPLE. I DONT WANT THIS ****** BRICK.

Hi Peeps

Got the same error when trying to sync ITunes with my 'new' iPad2 64gb. I had just bought the iPad privately and thought that maybe I had got 'rolled' by the seller. Anyway, it was only 1 month old so I booked a visit with a Genius at the local Apple Store.

Before doing this, I had tried doing a forced restore which didn't work - I ended up with the same error message.

So the result is that Apple will replace my iPad2 for free. He said it was either a firmware or hardware issue.

Same problem with my ipad (from France)! Apple hurryyyy fix it!!!!

Hi,

Nothing we can do?

I will try contact apple for this issues and see what are they solution for this.

For those who already try please update the result as well. thanks.

Same problem here.

I use my iPad only with my iMac.

I have separated my Windows devises from my Apple-devices,
so that they only share e-mail/calendar/dropbox.

Today I lost confidence in my iPad and it will never more be trusted to handle work-documents.

I'm from Thailand, I've got this problem too. After I restore to 4.3.3 and iTune show me it's complete but it cant even activate.

Seems you guys had this problem 2 more days already....when will Apple to something!!!!

I'm located in france, it's 10;40 AM here on 14th of may and I have exactly the same problem as yours !!!!

I juste updated my ipad from 4.3.2 to 4.3.3 and after restoring it just kicked me off when trying to activate and show me the same message you guys have : "there's a problem with your device"

my ipad 1 was perfectly working before this update... Apple please be more reactive, it seems that the problem is still on going since 2 days now !

I fear that until monday nothing would be fixed...

I just was going to make a birthday present... and they've spoiled this! #!@#!@!!!

I'm just updated 4.3.3 for my i4 this morning (Thai local time) and it's fine.

But after that I continue to update iPad---😠

Yes, as we know.

guys,,,,,, same **** am from australia and its been now 4 hours i rang apple support and the guy said no idea what the **** are you talking bout..... he booked me in for monday, thank god i didnt update my iphone 4 otherwise i cant recieve or make calls at all. i hope its not as what happened to sony..

SHAME ON YOU APPLE

SO,

IN CASE APPLE JUST UP AND DELETES THIS THREAD, I'VE SAVED ALL PAGES AS PROOF THAT IT'S NOT OUR FAULTS.

I SUGGEST YOU DO THE SAME, BEFORE THIS THREAD IS DELETED.

WE PAID 500-600 $$ FOR THESE DEVICES, AND WE DESERVE A FIRMWARE UPDATE THAT ISN'T FAULTY.

PLEASE DO THE SAME.
