Hi, Folks:

I get one dialog box that says "Preparing …."
Then one that says "Backing up iPad" (this seems to take forever)
After a while, iTunes shows "Extracting Software" message in info area
Finally I get a dialog box "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build."
