    Got everything loaded, apps are back in place, whew! Only thing now is that iTunes keeps opening on its own!!! And when it does I can’t access any of the menus. Bloody weird.

    Just launch iTunes. Connect your iPad and it will download the right one.

    Hey Johny, I just answered the same to Tcatcrb; iPad 2 is for WiFi; 2.2 for GSM and 2.3 for CDMA.  In my case I have a 3G iPad, so I’ll be using 2.2!

  • Tcatcrb

    Thanks. That helped.

    iTunes was giving me errors though so I wanted to use the other file

    You don’t need to double click it. Open iTunes on your computer with your device plugged in while it is in DFU Mode. If you have Windows then hold down your shift button and left click restore. (If it’s Apple then I think it’s Option or Alt.) Then choose your desired custom firmware. If you need anymore help add me on Skype Uneicas. :3
