You are using Windows, right? I suppose you could try downloading iOS 7.0.2 via direct link. Here is a Blog that collects these direct links from Apple: http://www.redmondpie.com/ios-7.0.2-download-for-iphone-5s-5-4s-4-ipad-ipod- touch-released/ Find the direct link for your model of iPad (if you look at the URL, you'll see that the links all come from Apple.com). Download the software and ensure that it has an .ipsw extension. Sometimes, Windows supplies another erroneous extension like .zip instead so be sure to rename if that's the case. Put the file in c:\users\username\AppData\roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPad Software Updates. Now repeat the procedure of putting your iPad in recovery mode and try to restore the software again.
Failing this, I'd suggest booking a Genius Bar appointment.

Have it in recovery mode now again and so far so good. Tried twice last night, but it gets to a certain point in the download and stops making a ding on computer like it spit out the usb. So far no ding. 41 minutes. OOPS, did it just now. Says I need my passcode? Ug! Ug! Find my iPhone says "administrator's iPad not on find my iPad. Will try again, but any other ideas? Could just cry! All I wanted was it to look like my phone! Wonder why it took the wrong passcode. reggie and Allegra -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
