Hey,


You saved my life. I tried everything, even manipulating the host file on your PC, but still failed with the restore. Tried on 3 different PCs, at least 20 times, all in vein.


Then, as u suggested I turned off the firewall, and it immediately solved my problem,


Now my iPad has been restored, thanks to you. I was about to take it to the service to have it repaired, but now I don't need it. 🙂


Thank you again.
