unable to restore ipad and will not start

I tried to restore ipad to manufacturer's settings, and it started to do it, and then iTunes gives me an alert, it cannot complete the request for some make up thing. Any clues? mu iPad is dead. It keeps telling me to connect to iTunes, iTunes extracts the software and then it quits.

Are you currently using a devloper version of iOS or is the device jailbroken?


Try this


Make sure OS and itunes on computer is updated.

Unlplug ipad from computer but leave other end of usb cord plugged into pc.


Press the power button until the ipad shuts down.


Hold home button on ipad and at the same time plub usb cord into ipad. DO NOT LET GO OF HOME BUTTON


You should see a pop-up message in itunes stating, 'itunes has detected an ipad in recovery mode....'


You should now be able to restore

If that doesn't work, try another usb port on computer, disable all security software, or try another computer
