It’s the second week now since my iPad freezes ! I’ve tried different solutions but unfortunately nothing seemed to be working! The problem started while I was updating my iPad to IOS 5. I started the update with my iPad plugged into my Laptop USB and iTunes stuck in the middle of the update. at first my iPad crashed I wasn’t able to restart it or even to reset it! When I plugged my iPad to my laptop again iTunes was not reading my iPad, it wasn’t showing at all. I spent some time reading through some threads in the Internet to find a solution for my problem. Then I came across a discussion board and I was able to use the DFU mode so that iTunes can recognize my iPad. and then it started recognizing my iPad.. but my iPad got stuck in the process of restoring! it’s like a loop when ever i hit the button restore iTunes starts again, and after awhile it says waiting for iPad!!!! 
after like 10 minutes with zero progress on iPad restore par indicator, the same error shows up on iTunes -> The iPad “iPad” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).
When I read about this type of errors and to be specific Error 9 Apple website indicates that this error occurs when there is something wrong with the USB connector and the solution got to do with USB isolation troubleshooting ! I am really confused I tried different laptops/PCs/USBs but nothing solved my problem. I am also confused about the fact that if my problem was a hardware problem like a damaged (iPad USB connecter). How come an IOS update harm my connector and why the hell it is damaged and charging perfectly at the same time?!!!
Other than that.. My farm at Farmville is not loading for two days now! and I am really pissed of, and cannot tolerate all the errors out there. it makes my life really miserable!
