Greetings Leona10,

Thanks for getting back with us and trying those steps. I have something for you to try.

You mention that you are getting error 27. Please see this support article for help with this error: Get help with iOS update and restore errors , specifically:

Check your hardware

If you see error 53, use these steps.

If you see one of the errors below, you might have a hardware issue:

  • 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16
  • 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 56
  • 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667 1669

Here's what to check. Try again after each step:

  1. If iTunes is already open, quit and reopen it.
  2. Check your third-party security software.
  3. Make sure that your USB cable, computer, and network are reliable. Then try twice more to restore your iOS device.
  4. Check for outdated or modified software.

If you still see the error, contact Apple Support.

Cheers.

I had to use the most drastic option and choose to restore my iPad!!m it finally worked and I am so relieved!!

i was about to go to iCloud and do a back up..... Most of my apps and notes have come back but I do not see any Photos or albums???

HOW do I restore my photos? Is there a separate step beyond just doing to the ICloud backup??

thanks so much!
