Need Help to restore iOS

[J. A.]

The iPad mini (first generation), Wi-Fi only, is iPad 2,5. That's what you have to select.

Sadly it says Barrys ipad cannot be restored as the firmware file is not compatible.

It's possible that your iPad is not a first generation mini, or it's Wi-Fi + cellular.

What's your iPad's model number? You can find it at the back of your iPad. It starts with an A, followed by four digits.

Hi
A1432

That's the first generation mini, Wi-Fi only, so your description is right. The model ID is iPad2,5. That's the ipsw-file you should have downloaded. 9.1 is still signed by Apple, so I'm wondering why it wasn't working.

Ive tried a few times using itunes , shift restore, then I select the file and get that message.

When I click more information it just takes me to the latest itunes store download , that I already have.

Sorry, no idea what went wrong there. The software should be the right one, the procedure you described is right when you use a Windows computer.

Not your fault. Maybe Apple is on to it?
