Sorry to hear about your frustrating experience. It sounds like you may have already tried some of them, but there are a number of suggested resolutions to the 1013 error here:

Hope that helps and others may have additional ideas.

Best of luck and let us know how it goes!

I'm having the same problem with the iPad 1G. No matter how many tutorials or forums i read the " Connect to iTunes" symbol appears around every corner. Can yo help me get myself out of this nightmare, iTunes is the nightmare i'm referring to. The error code i'm having trouble with is 3149.

apple must fix this bug or what ever the prob with their system.. its a clean restore.. there shouldnt been any errors right?

Are your iPads JB? If so I can move this to the iPad Hacking section (where you'll probably get more/better responses) and leave a redirect in the Help area.

FWIW if you Google "iPad Error 3149" there are all sorts of answers and suggestions...including a video.

Okay, got it. The only other thing I've seen folks do is to delete their current backup (became corrupted) and then try to resync.

Open iTunes (without connecting your iPad). Click on iTunes > Preferences (top tool bar) > Devices. Click on the iPad in question’s backup and click the “Delete Backup” button. Then connect your iPad once again and see how it goes. More here:

Then there's a problem. I would contact Apple directly. They have first-class customer assistance and should be able to get things sorted out.
