IPad 2 8.0.2 won't update to 8.1.1 screen stuck

iPad 2 8.0.2 tried to update to 8.1.1 via wifi but says it should be plugged in directly to computer
So I directly plugged into my macbook pro with the latest version of iTunes.
After downloading and extracting the software, it came with an error that said it cannot update to that version.
Now the iPad itself is stuck on the screen that says plug into iTunes.
When i plug into iTunes it keeps trying to update to latest version and says it can't.
Even when i click on restore (I made a backup before trying to update) it won't restore, it just says its trying to restore to factory settings then it tries to update again and says it can't with error message.
Looks like my iPad 2 is bricked from an update that supposed to help it.

I'm not sure this will help but rebooting is always a good first step. First reboot your computer then start iTunes again. Also reset your iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the buttons and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot. If these two don't help take a look at this Apple support page,

  • HT4623 iPad has iOS 5 and won't update to 7

    Whenever I go to the software update in the setting, it claims that the software is all up to date. It says the same thing when I plug it into iTunes. Any suggestions on how to update it?

    I assume this is an original iPad? If so then iOS 5.1.1 is the last release of iOS that will work with that model. You need an iPad 2 or later to run iOS 6 or 7.

  • HT204266 Hi.  My iPad all of a sudden won't update or let me download apps.  It says i have to connect to connect to the Canadian store.  My iPhone and iMac still work fine.  How do I fix this?

    Never had any problems before.  Now it asks me to connect to the Canadian site.  How do i do this?  My iMac and iPhone still work fine.

    To change the store ....

    Tap your ID
    Tap View Apple ID
    Enter your password
    Go to country/region in the popup window to change the store

  • IPhone won't update to 6.1 and is stuck in recovery mode

    I attempted to update my iPhone from 6.0.1 to 6.1 today; however, in doing so iTunes informed me that the update could not be verified. Upon receiving this message, I thought that my phone would just go back to how it was, but that wasn't the case. The iPhone 4s is now stuck in recovery mode. It just keeps shutting down and going back to the apple logo. In addition to this, I am unable to put the phone in DFU mode due to the fact that my power button randomly stopped working a few weeks ago. Any ideas on how to regain use of my iPhone? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I'm having the same problem, I tried to update to whatever the last version was as I hadn't got that 33mb update yet, during the process my phone froze. I tried to unfreeze my phone by giving it a hard reboot (holding the home and power button) but now my phone is stuck in recovery mode.
    I tried various programs that provide a "recovery mode fix" none worked.
    Manually downloaded the latest ipsw as I failed five times from 5AM to try and get iTunes to download the latest version and restore my phone.
    When I try to restore to iOS 8 I get "this iPhone could not be restored (error 2003)" and it has been like this for 12 hours. 12 hours I've been without a phone and all I wanted to do was update my software? What a joke. I have no idea how I'm going to fix this as literally everything I have tried has failed.

  • Exchange unread count won't update for mailbox with 1000+ unread messages

    Hi - I'm having an issue with mail on the iPhone and iPad where my Exchange inbox won't update after downloading a 1000+ new messages on Saturday. I marked them as read and moved them to another mailbox on my Mac but they're stuck in the inbox on my iPhone even after restarting phone and deleting account and re-adding it. I am able to download new messages and they are updated properly.

    Things updated after I switched from check manually to check every 15 minutes. Weird.

  • Why won't my ipad connect to the wifi after I updated it to ios 7.1.2

    Never have I ever been so upset at an electronic device
    If I had know my iPad would cause such distress after this update I wouldn't have attempted it.
    Because of this bloody update a plethora of problems have appeared and I have no clue how to fix it.
    Firstly at around 4 this morning the wifi connection was spotty so I had to keep on reconnecting, but that was fixed by getting closer to the router. I thought "problem solved no biggie right?" WRONG! I left my house and came back expecting the wifi to connect again, but that was a fail.
    SOOOOO I figured I needed to forget the network and log back in. That didnt work. I should not have done that. I should not have done that.
    I got the *Unable to join the network. Dismiss* crap over and over and over again!
    So now I figured I'd look up some help! Why not give it a go! So i got that whole (general-  reset- reset network) with or without turning on airplane mode bs. Didnt work. Trust me I tried both.Twice.
    Since that didnt work I figured a reboot would. No. I turned my iPad off so many times I probably gave the poor thing whiplash
    Now this has been going on all day and I finally gave in an hour ago and decided if I restore it to the ios 7.1.1 it'll work again.
    Well it must be my freakin birthday cause guess what? You have to turn off your icloud's "find my ipad"to restore and to do that you need a........ wait for it................. internet connection!!!! Brilliant. Just. Brilliant. -_-
    Do you FEEL my struggle yet????
    all my problems...... they all lead to that dang wifi connection. Fml.
    Any of you magical smarty pants have any help for this poor unfortunate soul.
    it would be much appreciated.
    Amnesty

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
    http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
    Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

  • My wife's iPad 2 won't update to IOS 5 on her iMac, my iPad 2 updated fine on my Dell PC- what gives?

    My wife has a new (less than 6 months old) big beautiful iMac (of which I am extremely jealous-but that has no bearing on the conversation at hand) but every time she tries to update her iPad 2 to iOS 5 on iTunes she gets the error code 3259 at the very end of the 40+ minute download.  I own a Dell (over 1 1/2 years old) running windows 7 and I updated my iPad 2 to iOS 5 when it was first released with no problems.  I checked the message boards and they said that they were most likely experiencing an overload of people trying to download off the servers and that was causing the download issues.  So I waited and tried again....and again....and again....and, well you get the idea. 
    I can not fathom how my PC updated fine but my wife's iMac (running the latest update of Lion and yes she updated iTunes and did the firewall settings correctly) can't/won't update it to save her life.  Does anyone have any ideas????
    Thanks,

    Hello jaideniv,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    First I would recommend this article named Can't connect to the iTunes Store found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368. It will get you started with troubleshooting iTunes Store connection issues on the computer and the phone.
    If needed there is a more advanced article named iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297 that I would next recommend.
    Take care,

  • TS3274 iPad won't update apps...

    I'm having trouble with my iPad - Won't update Apps...

    Many people are having this problem for the last couple of days. This is a problem that Apple has to fix. If you look around the forum, you will see many, many discusssions about this and they have been going on for a few days.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this is a workaround - for the time being.
    If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    5. Select update on the Apps
    This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store.

  • I'm using an ipad mini and facebook won't update. What's wrong with it?

    I'm using an ipad mini and it won't update facebook. There's no other updates to do with it and I can download apps. I've had the ipad since about the end of august sometime.
    Thank you

    There are a number of other posts about not being able to download the update to the Facebook app, and I also can't download it (on my iPad nor my computer's iTunes) - I assume that there is a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix

  • The Apple ID has been changed on my iPad but the apps won't update with the new id and password, including the apps that came with the iPad so I can't delete and reinstall with new Apple ID

      What do you do if you have bought a used iPad and the apps won't update without the original id and password.  Can't delete the apps that come with the iPad and reinstall them so what do I do?

    Correct. An app can only be updated under the Apple ID that was used to orginally acquire the app. If that is a problem you can delete the app and download again under the new userid. If you paid for the app you will have to pay again. Your old Apple ID does not go away so there is no reason to not use it to download the apps.
    You cannot delete the apps that came with IOS. If you want to "hide" the apps simply put the apps into an application folder by dragging one app onto another. You can do this to all the IOS apps.
