Corrupted during download?

Then you have the wrong one or you are selecting the wrong saved file. If you are not doing so already then do the files one at a time. If one doesnt work then delete it before saving the next to the folder. There really are only two files to choose from if you have only the wi-fi version. Be sure you are selecting the 6.1 and not 6.0.1.

I knew you could do it!

Im about to use Rayny28 solution, hope mine work, wish me luck.

When is apple going to fix this problm?

pls help me i have been doing this for 4 days im sooo ****** i have windows 8 and every file i download does not work what am i doing wrong!!!!

never mind i just did it thank u guys ohh man it works

I'm pretty sure I have the right files... I've even tried downloading from other sites, other than the Apple site.

The file, if I recall correctly is on this link:

http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS6.1/041-6476.20130128.Hrb56/iPad2,1_6.1_10B141_Rest ore.ipsw

So... It's the right build number... Something is borked on Apple servers somewhere...

Help?

That's the file that worked for me. Not sure what the problem is.

So... after 20 or so tries my iPad 2 was restored using that file...

This is some serious problem with those Apple validation servers...

I'm really starting to have a problem with Apple. I thought these forums were supposed to help users that are having problems and to help others offer solutions to one another. I also posted the fix I found on another thread and just rececived a nasty-gram from Apple saying they removed the "post from Apple Support Communities. Software licensed by Apple may only be distributed by sources approved by Apple."

It will probably be gone from here soon as well.

Ricardo,

Was this the error you were getting? I hope so.. I'm on "retry" No. 15 right now with no luck.

After an hour of trying to download and extract files in order to restore my ipad 2 from the latest software update, I read a thread that suggested using google chrome vs internet explorer, following that advice was successful! I had to make the file into a zip so I could extract as instructed by another helpful user on this thread, and only then did I see the necessary ipsw file and was able to continue the restore. It's quite frustrating when you try to improve your device with the suggested updates and find issues along the way, but thankfully there are a bunch of smart people here to help walk the rest of us through the "I'm going to throw this **** thing through a window in a minute" mode, and provide solice in a very annoying situation. Thanks for the help and advice.

no
