Q: Help, iPad2 stuck in a loop and wont restore

Yes I tried that, that's what I meant by hard restore, I meant hard recovery. it went through almost the whole process then just kicked off and itunes went back to the "home" screen with my music and my ipad went back to looping. A friend said to remove all ipad stuff from my computer and try downloading the ipad restore again because sometimes it gets corrupted so I tried that this afternoon and after the download it came up with error 3004 but at least my iPad is not looping anymore it is just a black screen but still can't get it operational. Thanks anyway.

Yes, I've tried all that, the only thing I have not tried yet is restoring it on another computer because I don't have another one and haven't asked friends that have itunes yet.That is my last hope. Oh by the way it has gone back to the looping again.

I assume the most recent 8.3??? but not positive.
