Cannot restore the iPad 2 on iTunes

My iPad 2 is stuck in the loop of Doom... continues to try to restart, but won't, try infinitely.  I connected to iTunes.  Update was not an option, but he tried to restore.  I tried twice, and after each attempt, iTunes gives the error message "this iPad could not be restored.  This device is not eligible for the requested build. "I guess that's too old for the restore iTunes tent sotftware?   How to restore an old model?   I prefer an old iOS, so this isn't a problem.  Thanks for your help!

This might help: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

If you see error 3194, error 17, or "this device is not eligible for the requested build" in iTunes - Apple Support

FYI: The device will restore the most recent version of the iOS that supports your device.

  • Mini Mac does not connect to restore the iPad 2

    I work in a public library, and we have several iPad 2s who lend us out for our guests to use. Between each user, restore us the iPad to factory default with a mac mini, then reinstall our applications from the iTunes backup. Since we have upgraded to iOS 9.2 a month ago, we had trouble getting the restore process of working part. When we try, we get this error message: "there was a problem downloading the software for the iPad. The requested resource is not found. »

    The mini connects to iTunes and can surf the web without any problem, we do not have any anti-virus installed on it, and we tried to connect via our LAN and WiFi. We have the latest version of iTunes and the latest iOS on the mini. We rebooted the mini many times. I checked the file hosts, in accordance with the instructions from apple, and apparently is not the issue. I am able to restore the iPad on a Windows PC and then move them to the mini to apply the settings of our saved backup, so I think the problem is with the mini itself, although it now occupies about 3 times more time to reinstall the applications as before.

    We've been ready ipads in recent years without any major problems and have made no changes to the default settings of the mini otherwise to update the iOS. Restore the iPad is the only thing we use the mini for. I would appreciate any advice.

    What OSX version and what version of iTunes?

    You say Mac mini Mac OS X (10.7.5)

    The last OSX is 10.11.2 and iOS 9.2 requires at least 10.8.5 to get the required iTunes version

  • Restore the iPad App via Time Machine?

    Let's see if I can explain it clearly without writing a novel...

    We used iBank on a series of iPads in Quicken replacement.  iBank was wonderful.

    A few days ago, we decided to accept the upgrade to the new version of the App.  The upgrade has changed the name of the application of Banktivity 5.0.3.

    After the update the app is more responsible, is back with ' an error occurred during the migration of permanent storage' and when we hit OK you get the spinning wheel of death, eternally.  Fearing yet another Apple HW question I made the mistake to immediately an iPad manual backup because I did not know when the last of them automatic was and I didn't lose anything else on the iPad.

    The iPad is running 9.3.1 model number MD516LL/a H/W.

    We have iTunes to save 'automatically' iPad 'to this computer.  We do not use the cloud.

    I had an exchange of mail with the support of the IGG, but when we walked in the restoration of a previous automatic backup on the iPad, they were out of their depth.  I have no complaint with their support, they do not know where are stored the backups or how to proceed.

    So, that's where it gets interesting/frustrating.

    I try to use Time Machine to restore the App from a previous version in iTunes and then sync to iPad.

    I do not see the backup files to iPad specific laptop I use for backup "automatic" iTunes "to this computer.  I see the list of applications on the iPad iTunes in the ' users > Shared > iTunes > directory of Mobile Applications.  I'm going back in time in Time Machine to find the last backup the previous version of iBank has or Banktivity iTunes before 5.0.3... in the hopes of restoring just that specific app and data...

    ... Previous Time Machine backups have iBank or Banktivity listed in the applications!  I have looked far and sought to my heart's content, but none are here.  All other applications will appear in the list, but not iBank or Banktivity.  Now, I'm stumped... Why would not appear anywhere in the last backups?

    Having lost all historical and current in the iBank data are a pretty big disaster if I don't want to take the risk of ruining more by doing a partial or full restore iPad without understanding why the previous of iBank versions and/or Banktivity do not appear in the lists before the last manual of Time Machine backup?

    The iPad is an ideas, thoughts or suggestions would be most appreciated.

    Real applications are not stored in the backup (which contains the content of applications, your settings, documents, photos etc), restoration (backups are stored in ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/on a Mac, a backup is not designed to be readable by the user) would look to pick up the application of the section My Apps from your iTunes library - so looking for a old backup iPad in Time Machine won't help your find the app.

    As to why the app does not appear in your Time Machine backup of your folder "Mobile Applications", looking for the correct name of the application (the name that shows in your iTunes Apps my chapter cannot be the same as the file real .ipa computer/time Machine; some of my friends have very different names)?

  • restore the iPad

    I forgot the password of my iPad 2 and if it is disabled.  When I try to restore it by holding down the home button and plug it into iTunes I chose restore.  Everything seems fine until a box pops up asking if I want to allow 'this computer' (macbook pro late 2012) access to the iPad. I say 'yes' and he wants me to answer the iPad that still has the password box that must free.

    Why this is happening and what can do?  Thank you.

    Apparently you have never synchronized with this computer before. This happens the first time you connect the device to a new computer. A new computer for this purpose is the device has never been connected to any computer.

  • Cannot restore the iPod

    I read the discussion for corrupt iPod Classic and tried all of the listed suggestions.

    The iPod is not recognized by iTunes (latest version for my MacBook) and does not appear in the Finder.

    When you run the diagnostic tests, he said the "cannot open device" and underneath that says "ERROR!" «Stop diag»

    It does not appear in the disk utility so I can't try to repair the disk.

    I tried restoring the DFU on the MacBook.  When I did this and open iTunes, it appear a message about restoring the iPod and has continued to prepare for the iPod but nothing ever happened.  I left that he connected for at least 20 minutes.

    I also tried to plug it into our Windows laptop and it was acknowledged in the Manager of devices like Apple's USB device, but not in iTunes.

    Any other suggestions?

    See iPod displays an icon 'X' Red - Apple Support. Apple may not have much interest in the classic iPod service. The line was removed some time ago. I would normally say that you look at corrupt iPod Classic, but if the error message indicates that the drive will not mount so you will not be able to read the stats.

    See this recent post by Kenichi Watanabe - Re: iTunes save my iPod Classic 160 Gb -which gives a link to a possible replacement of DIY drive.

  • Cannot restore the backup to iCloud. Stuck on "remaining time: estimate.

    I bought an iPhone 6s a month ago. Saturday, the screen is dead - they said it was a bad card, so they gave me a new. Initially, the restoration of iCloud seemed to work very well, but some of my app data has not loaded up. These data are really important to me, so I thought I could restore the device again and see if it would transfer the data. Now it is stuck on "remaining time: estimated...» "FOREVER.

    I tried the hard reset a dozen times. I tried to restore back to factory settings. I tried to load the old backups. No matter how long I leave Restoration - I left it all night - I I found with the message "cannot restore backup iCloud," no matter what backup I use. I talked to Apple Care. No one can understand why it does not work. The guy at the Genius Bar said it might have to do with the fact that my carrier settings were not switched correctly when they gave me the new device. He has updated and was told to wait another day and try again. I did this. It STILL gets stuck on screen and didn't budge!

    What could possibly go wrong? Why does a job the first time and now this? The only thing I can think is that it is a problem of iCloud... So frustrating! Help, please!

  • Cannot restore the backup of the iPhone

    I just did a DFU restore on my iPhone 5s. I am running Windows 7. I have created a complete PC Backup in iTunes that is listed in the devices list in the preferences.  When I try to restore this backup on the restored phone, that the backup is not available in the drop-down menu of the backups.  Only my iPad is here.  I think that remember me something related to the backup that was created with an older version of iOS.  The phone 9.2, I think it was an upgrade after the DFU.  My iPad has 9.2.1 and I thought they were on the same version.  Anyway, how to restore the backup that is listed in the devices?  I have not either a backup for this phone.  I have to downgrade the phone to the previous version of iOS?  This seems strange to me.  Or maybe that I have to get the phone on instead of 9.2 9.2.1?  Any suggestion would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    As far as I know, iOS 9.2.1 is a beta, so maybe it's the cause.

    BTW, discuss software in beta on a public forum is not a good idea.
