Error -1 could be cause by USB connection, network problem or hardware issue. You can check the following tutorial to fix it: http://www.3u.com/tutorial/articles/694 ... in-3utools

What good phrase

Not sure I see the issue. When I open the board--i.e., "Suggestion Box"--I simple click on the little box by the thread title that says "NEW", and it takes me to the first unread post.

Did I mis understand what it is you were looking for?

Try to force restart your iPad. Then use iTunes to restore the device or bring the device to the factory settings. Of course, the one-stop solution is to employ professional iOS system repair tools such as TunesKit iOS System Recovery, which can perfectly fix your issue while causing no data loss.
