iTunes 10 Aborting iPad Update Searches With Error
Posted: September 7th, 2010.
If you have downloaded Apple’s latest iTunes 10 multimedia software, you are likely to see some errors while you plug in your iPad to the device. Many users have been complaining that searching for updates on iTunes 10 with a plugged-in iPad results in a discontinuation of the search along with an error message 1631 that reads, “iTunes was unable to search for updates for the network operator settings for your iPhone.”
It is either a typo with the error message or it is that the iTunes is unable to differentiate an iPhone from an iPad. Either way, the error is not very significant at the moment considering that the next iPad update is not expected before November of this year. Nevertheless, this is another embarrassing bug that has afflicted Apple products in recent times.

I received this error yesterday when I tried to update my iPad (32GB Wifi and 3G) in iTunes 10. The error keeps returning, even after I restarted my Mac Book Pro.
So far I haven’t found a solution. Hope it’s a bug Apple fixes before the next update to iPad in november.
I also updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 4.1 without any problems.

ik heb hetzelfde probleem na update itunes 10
alles verwijderd opnieuw geinstaleerd maar blijft melding geven fout 1631
ik heb daarna itunes 9.2.1.5 opnieuw op een andere pc gezet en mijn ipad gewist en er opnieuw ituns 9.2.1.5 opgezet en nu is alles weer goed
maar niet meer itunes 10 opzetten daar zit de fout in

error occurs only when you have a 3G ipad and no sm card inserted as well as itunes 10: two fixes insert a sim card eve if its not active, this will bypass the bug: another solution is to downgrade to itunes 9…

Not seeing this issue on my machine at all. Running iTunes 10 on a macbook pro and a 64gb iPad. Are you running on Windows?.
Otherwise I would see the fix as let the sync run and then do your searches…
