IPAD Mini Locked after iOS upgrade, tried reset on iPAD did not work, plugged in and device not appearing in iTUNEs for reset/restore

PAD Mini Locked after iOS upgrade, tried reset on iPAD did not work, plugged in and device not appearing in iTUNEs for reset/restore.  Just get an Apple Logo then a flashing blue screen as if it is caught booting up.   This has happened twice before and iTunes restore fixed it.  But this time device not appearing in iTunes.
Running iTunes for PC.  But as stated restore has worked before!  Any help greatly appreciated!!

Place the device in DFU mode and let iTunes restore the device to factory condition.

  • After IOS8 upgrade IPhone5s syncs with exchange but IPad2 syncs ONLY Mail and Contacts, NOT Calendar.  Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?

    After IOS8 upgrade IPhone5s syncs with exchange but IPad2 syncs ONLY Mail and Contacts, NOT Calendar.
    Also, my other tablet - Samsung TabS - has same issue - calendar wont sync. My IPhone and my desktop (windows) synch just fine.
    Google calendar syncs on all devices. Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?
    THANKS

    1.      Log onto Outlook Web Access
    2.      Top right hand part of the screen select "Options"
    3.     Select "See All Options"
    4.      Select "Phone" menu
    Check if you have 10 Devices registered.
    If you have, you need to delete one of them to add your new Smart Phone to Exchange for synching
    Check the "Last Sync Time" to indicate if this device is still active or not.

  • After i updated my ipad mini 2 to IOS 8.1.3 Wifi is no longer working

    Model: Ipad Mini 2 Retina
    Version: IOS 8.1.3
    My problem is that after i realize the update to IOS 8.1.3 my ipad keep saying me that im offline. I checked with my laptop and the wifi is working correctly. I need help with this an ipad without internet connection is almost useless, cant even connect in the office and my house.

    To expand if you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network(s) or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
    First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
    If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network(s). Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. Do NOT reset it. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
    If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
    If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

  • IPad Mini stuck after iOS 8.0.2 update: How do I recover my data?

    I purchased an iPad Mini with Retina display just before leaving on vacation 2 weeks ago and used it to take 100's of pictures.
    While waiting for my return flight home I decided to apply the iOS 8.0.2 update. WHAT A MISTAKE!!! Now, my iPad is stuck in Recovery Mode and won't boot up. I tried different utilities (Mac FoneLab, RescuePhone, iPad Data Recovery, iFoneBox, ReiBoot), but none of them worked.  
    What can I do to recover my pictures? I have no backups.
    Note: I set a simple passcode on my iPad. So, I think my data is encrypted (but I'm not sure).
    Thank you in advance
    -- Daniel

    YOU ARE IN RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTunes and plug (very important)
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note: Data will be lost

  • IPad 4G locked after IOS7 upgrade - Mega Bug?

    I`ve just upgraded my IPad 4thGen. The whole process completed, then Ipad was rebooted and new welcome wizard was filled...
    First steps playing with new look&feel, nice...
    Switching between walls, fine...
    Reviewing Ipad`s Setup, fine...
    Then I decided to update some apps, so Clicked "Update all" and everything was fine until I get back to Home Screen, icons were shown not in order, a couple of them in different size, bigger than others, strange behaviour.
    Locked my screen and the unlock again but "Slider buttom" or "Numerical Code Pad" is not shown. I just can see my wallpaper, the time and battery level.
    I try to reset Ipad but pressing Lock buttom for a while doesn`t works.
    Someone with similar issue?
    @Apple Support staff, Can you help me?

    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.

  • HT204053 MY IPAD MINI SAYS ITS DISABLED IVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET IT TO WORK HELP

    can anyone please help me with my ipad mini it says its diabled?

    If it's disabled from entering the wrong passcode too many times, use one of the solutions at the bottom of this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.  The preferred one is under "If you have ever synced your device with iTunes".

  • Ipad mini frozen after ios 8.3 update

    I tried to update my iPad to iOS 8.3 today and the first time it was updating on the actual settings so I could still use my iPad but then I lost internet connection and I tried to update it today and it went black with the apple logo and a bar measuring the progress of the update. Anywyas,I'm not sure if it was about to complete or had completed but it went black with the Apple logo in the middle. I held down the home and on/off button at the same time and after a few seconds the screen goes black then the screen with the apple logo comes on then it goes black again. I then tried to turn it on by pressing the on/off button but it goes and stays on the screen with the apple logo so we're back to square one. I've tried holding them down a few times now but I keep getting the same result. Any help? The iPad first went into the logo about 6 hours ago. I thought it would take time for the device to process but seeing no result I tried the pressing both buttons method andnow iI'm asking if any one knows what I have to do? Thanks

    You can preform a DFU restore.
    Follow my steps:
    - power down your iPad
    - Hold down the home button and don't let go
    - Plug the iPad to your computer
    - Do not let go the home button
    - ITunes will prompt you that the iPad is recovery stage
    - Restore your iPad
    You should be all set and updated issue free.
    Cheers!

  • Ipad is locked after ios 7 was downloaded no passcode was set up before hand

    after doing the system update to ios 7 the ipad lock screen came up and didnt have a lock code set up for it cant get past it

    Thanks for the suggestion, Franz.
    As it turns out, on iOS 7 it appears as though you need to accept cookies in the Safari settings for the rest of the apps to work!
    I had all cookies blocked in Safari which was making Podcasts, Sky Go and NFL Game Pass hang. I changed it to block 3rd parties and advertisers only.....and they all work perfectly. Strange though, because that was never the case before, the apps seemed to work totally independent of each other.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Have an iPad mini with latest software upgrade 8.1.2. Verizon Messaging  on use after working for 1 yr. deleted app and downloaded fresh app. Same problem. Neither Apple support or Verizon store support could find problem. Sometimes can type txt befor it

    Have an iPad mini with latest software upgrade 8.1.2. Verizon Messaging app crashes on use after one year with no problems. I deleted the app and downloaded a clean version. It crashes whether or not I have any apps running in the background. Sometimes I can type part of a message before it crashes. Other times it crashes as soon as I try to use the app at all. Neither Apple Support nor Verizon store staff could find any reason for the problems. Any ideas??
    THE TEXT SHOULD SAY THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE APP CRASHING Message was edited by: Steady_RI

    Steady_RI, thanks for keeping us posted. Did you uninstall that application by pressing/holding down the icon until the (X) appears? Tap the (X) to delete it. Once the application has been deleted, you will need to reset the network settings on your device in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Power that device off/on and then download the application again. Additionally, we also recommend that you disable Wi-Fi and connect to our network to test the messaging feature again.
