Q: My Ipad 2 is stuck in recovery mode after the update 6.1

Do the restore first, if that fails to contact Apple with the mentioned error codes then edit the host file and retry.

No, use your current iTunes installation.

hello, im saving the #'s at the buttom of the file host but i can not save it, it says that i dont have a permission on the administration.. help pls..

Techmadness please help me.. :(

Eztine20 and everyone else.

My post are being edited by Apple and I've had a second nasty email from them stamping their feet about me providing a support method that fixes their faults.

I will no longer be supporting this topic on these message boards.

Please look at my profile and email me directly at the address there and I will support you separately.

So that this post is not removed I offer this help free of charge as I do in here.

Best regards to all,

TM

Wow, they even edited their own message out of that one!

Well, I've had over a hundred people contact me with their apple problems, if the numbers increase I may actually allocate someone on my tech team to do this full time for a while.

Brookner, you cannot pm I this community (that I am aware of). You can email me outside of this forum at the address in my profile.

Gracias TM..!!

Lo logré..!!

Disappointing that the post offering assistance has been deleted by Apple...this exact issue happened to me a few months ago, after trawling through numerous forums, following the instructions from Apple and 90 minutes on the telephone to a Tech I drove to Adelaide (I am in Rural SA) to have my iPad 2 assessed by a Tech - 10 days later I was given a replacement.

I am now on vacation in the UK and (foolishly) applied the update 2 days ago only to have EXACTLY the same issue with the replacement iPad 2.  Seriously unimpressed.  Now I am stuck with an inoperable iPad until I return to Australia in a few weeks.

Apple - I note almost 40,000 people have viewed this thread so it is clear those posting here are not alone.  If there is a fix why on earth have you deleted it? Your reputation for providing exceptional customer service is being eradicated by some very poor decisions.  I suspect Steve Jobs may be turning in his grave.
