Sure, they are extremely polite and use a lot of reassuring language but all those niceties are completely lost when they exhibit zero competence in resolving issues.

You were right Aaron, I spent better part of my day locking horns with series of Apple Support folks who seemed completely out of depth.

#Dfu mode apple configurator 2 update

It is likely you will need to replace the hardware, I will update you, currently, my device is being sent for repair, not by anyone related to Apple cause even the Apple Store people don't know their stuff and you can never get through to them if you call the store's landline, only God knows why even they place a number or that function there in the first place. I spoke to CS for 3 days straight no resolution, keeps asking me to plug in, CS doesn't even know what is DFU mode, told CS I tried on 3 different computers even on my different MacBooks and on a non-apple computer, results still the same. Someone the update has screwed up the system and if it's not within the warranty, Apple will just tell you bluntly to get a new device cause that is what they do best. It will be the same for their authorised repair shops be it the one at Plaza Sing or Wheelock. Because of the charges they quote, might as well get a new device. If not within warranty, best to repair with a third party or anyone you know who could do it. Trust me the apple support does not know stuff and gave me the wrong instruction, yet don't even want to be held responsible for it. That aside, if it's still within warranty, bring it to the Apple store but you have to schedule an appointment first and get all your Vaccine completed. All they do is Googled for it, like you and me, I mean if you wanna be a Customer Support, the least know your product knowledge to the best of your abilities. Trust me on this, I've been through it, they will just keep on passing it to the next person, even the highest of people did not know what this error was. The call schedule by Apple Support WILL NOT, I repeat WILL NOT give you the resolution. Sorry for the long rant, no Apple staff wants to assist, exhausted almost all options. Makes me question for the last 10 years of being an applefanboy, ive come to this, so yea.Īny kind soul able to point me towards a correct direction? Please dont ask me go authorise retailers or dealers or service provider, their charges is might as well i get a new device. iPad is lightly used, take notes for school and kinda need this urgently before exam week, but no one seems to have any empathy. So now after asking the whole line of APPLE related people, no one knows what is this error 4042. Lady told me yea yea yea Apple MBS knows with regards to this, guess what, DENIED entry, manager at MBS just mentioned, cant do anything, cant be help. Did asked her to call Apple Store MBS to seek clarifications if it is true I could enter nonetheless because one entrance was via the shopping centre which I cant.

Mentioned to her over the phone that I am fully vaccinated however my the window period for it to be deemed 'effective' has not taken place.

NOShe arranged for me to head over to MBS outlet.

Tried entering into DFU mode while plugged into my Imac, ok Success, detect the iPad, however, mentioned iPad in recovery mode etc etc so tried restoring and update, that is when Error 4042 came out.

Tried on different mac device, macbook pro, macbook air even my windows gaming PC but no effect. Connected via my iMac, nothing showed up on itunes. However, when I plugged in via a power source, it loops at the White Apple Logo. So the thing is this, the iPad could not be turned on. Here is my dilemma, it all happened after the last update on Tuesday, 26th October 2021.
