Ipad software update server sould not be contacted

Hey Guys.


I have had my ipad for a while now. Recently, when i turn it on it is stuck on a frame. The frame shows a usb connecting to the itunes logo. When i go to plug in my ipad to my Win7 laptop, an Alert message pops up.

"iTunes has discovered an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes."

I Click on the restore button and it tries to contact the software update server but fails and provides this message.

"The iPad software update server could not be contacted."

I have tried many times and looked online for solutions. Such as this http://modmyi.com/forums/general-iphone-chat/720564-those-error-1638-update-serv er-could-not-contacted-error-try.html

I downloaded the latest itunes and everything but my iPad will not restore.


Would really appreiciate it if one of you managed to get this iPad back up and running. Thanks

iPad, Windows 7
