The iPad “Alex’s iPad” could not be restored.

Asked By Jonathon Head 30 points N/A Posted on - 11/10/2012

I failed to get my iPad “Alex’s iPad” restored  either for an  “Internal Error” or for an “Unknown Error”.

It took place while iOS 5 Install is in progress. 

 

The iPad “Alex’s iPad” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (3004).

Can you say how I can handle this unwanted problem?
