Q: My ipad 4 wont allow an update and it is stuck in recovery mode

My ipad 4 wouldn't sync because I didn't have enough room.  After deleting some apps, I tried again and it said I needed to software on my ipad first.  I started to do that and then when it was almost finished updating, it says I need to restore the ipad.  When I try to do that, itunes says I can't.  My ipad is now stuck in recovery mode. I get Error 3194, Error 17.  I tried to troubleshoot and it said to update itunes to 10.6.3.  I have and it makes no difference.
