updating to ios 5 error 1611 on ipad: Apple Support Communities. So why not just say what the problem is? I wish Apple would make friendlier error messages. They have always hidden meaning behind numbers.
I had the same error on my iPad when trying to upgrade via a USB hub off my screen. But connecting into a USB port directly on the PC worked.
You can’t use AirDrop over ethernet, so if you try to connect to a wired machine, it won’t work. Kellow goes into more detail below.
I might have found the reason behind the aforementioned behavior:
The AirDrop feature is apparently a Lion/AirPort-feature, and not a Lion/network-feature, meaning, if the iMac is connected to the network through a cable (RJ45), the above described behavior is the result.
The third issue mentioned, is apparently just how AirDrop works. AirDrop needs to be “activated” by Finder, which opens a ad hoc network though the AirPort. This does limit the use cases a lot.
Now, if only Apple would consider implementing AirDrop in iOS, the use cases would make a lot more sense…
This post at the Apple Discussion forums explains how to restore your iPhoto photos. Thanks laverne’s mom.
Your question had me wondering too and so I checked my Time Machine and couldn’t see where any photos were. I then pulled out a book I got when I first got my mac ( Its called The Missing Manual. I got it used from Amazon) anyway, if you open iPhoto, go to File then Browse Backups. It will show you the photos that have been backed up and are available for recovery. I hadn’t paid much attention to that before and am glad I discovered it now, rather than when I am in a panic over a lost or misplaced photo. Hope this helps you find what you are looking for.

iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore. Nicely done! I used this to help a friend restore the iPad to new condition.
WebSE – System 7 Simulation. This simulation looks perfect. I wonder how much time it took? Beautifully done.
Why would i use Facetime over Skype?: Apple Support Communities. This is a nice summary and good list of the pros/cons of different video conferencing software. Right now FaceTime is mostly used by consumers and small businesses, and Skype tends to be more popular for group chats and other more formal usage. I have used both and they are great.
Chelley Vician1 seems to have a working solution.
Ok, here’s what seems to have worked….but will need to monitor to see if this stays “stable”.
1) As suggested by King_Penguin in another Discussion thread [apple support > iPad > Using iPad > Discussions] (https://discussions.apple.com/message/15911962#15911962), I turned off iPhoto startup on the iPhone. Then ejected iPhone from USB.
2) Reconnected iPhone via USB. iTunes did not start up. Started up iTunes manually. Went to Summary page for iPhone, unchecked the “open iTunes” option, selected APPLY button. Let iTunes run its application process.
3) Then checked the “open iTunes” option. Selected APPLY button. Got a dialog box asking if I wanted “iTunes Helper” to be installed; selected YES. Let iTunes run its application process. Ejected iPhone. Closed out iTunes. Reconnected iPhone via USB. AND iTunes STARTED UP AUTOMATICALLY (yay!). Let iTunes do some backup and sync’ing. Ejected iPhone. Closed out iTunes.
4) Connected iPad via USB (on computer). AND iTunes STARTED UP AUTOMATICALLY (yay!).
I don’t know for sure that the iPhoto “automatic launch” was causing the interference, but it seems like the “uncheck/check” the “open iTunes” option seemed to re-set the problem that I encountered. I don’t want to say for sure that this issue is fixed, but it appears to be under control for the moment.
Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and assistance. Maybe this info will help someone else out now that it’s in the forums/discussions.
