Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes

Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes to do a restore.  I have tried to do a reset using the sleep button and home key and all I get is a white band across the screen and then it boots into the main system but it is just a series of white lines going across the screen, how can I do a restore on this?

Hey dbwithers,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPad after attempting to update to iOS 8. To isolate these issues, let’s try placing your iPad in recovery mode and attempting a restore with iTunes:

  • HT201413 my ipad stopped working and will not start error message 1601 comes up when i try to restore any one have advice on what to do

    my ipad 4 stopped working, it will not switch on, charge nor will it allow me to restore, the errror message 1601 comes up when trying to restore does anyone know how to help as i am not near an apple store to get help

    You have already seen this for Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes.  This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process.  This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
    For a new machine Error 11 !
    Check Hosts file if it is diverting iTunes away from Apple servers.

  • My IPad original's wifi stopped working and won't connect to any hotspot.  What should I do?

    I have been using my IPad regularly and it would connect wifi at any hotspot including my home.  Now over the last couple weeks, it will not connect to any hotspot and says it cannot find an internet connection.  I have reset my wifi in the settings and updated the operating system to 4.3.5; and it still will not connect.  Before I take it in to be fixed, any other suggestions?

    You can start with this support article about troubleshooting WiFi on an iOS device.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
    Normally I would also suggest that you update your iOS to version 5 which is out now, but you may want to hold off on that and see if you can resolve the WiFi issue with the troubleshootings steps in the article first.

  • My iPad 2 won't power up and will not recover in iTunes

    My iPad 2 will only power up to the Apple screen and then after around 60 seconds of being on that screen it switches itself off and starts again.
    I have tried to recover the iPad through iTunes by pluging the cable into the laptop, pressing and holding the home button and then connecting the cable to the iPad. iTunes detected that the iPad was in recovery mode and started a software download, even though it said the software was up to date. About halfway through the 25 minute update iTunes gave a message stating 'iTunes could not connect to Terrie's iPad because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter the passcode before connecting it to iTunes'. I can't power the iPad up to enter the passcode, so I can have iTunes restore it! Any idea how I can get around this?

    Hi,
    From what you've said, I can only suggest two things:
    1) Do a reset by holding the on/off and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears, or in this case, for about ten seconds.
    2) If that fails, visit an Apple Retail Store or an Apple Approved Service Retailer.
    Hope this helps, and good luck!

  • Been using CC2014 since introduced. The day of AdobeMax and "big announcements" CC app stopped working and will not install.

    I am on a Mac Pro, OS X 10.9.5, 16 GB RAM
    I have been a fanatical Adobe devotee since 1989, but now I am beginning to see the value in other software packages.
    All Adobe design programs (AI, PSD, ID) work, except CC app and Adobe Application Manager.
    On the morning Adobe Max occurred, the CC drop down window in the main menu bar was suddenly empty. At first, I could see the black and grey bars at the top, but the only options were Quit and Help. Applications were no longer visible, or Behance. Now I do not even see the icon.
    Interesting note — All the while, I am receiving a pop-up window saying my CS6 Application Manager is corrupt (!?!).
    I have installed CC and AAM dozens of times. I see no evidence that there is a CC app installed. When I double click AdobeApplicationManager.app, I am required to type in my password, but nothing else happens.
    I gave control of my system to an Adobe techie (while he trashed some files and installed CC again), but he told me to log out and back in, but I lost connection with him (after 4 HOURS). Anyway it made no difference.
    In System Preferences ---> Users and Groups ---> Login Items (where you can click a box for a program to NOT start at login), Adobe Creative Cloud is in the list with a YELLOW WARNING SIGN meaning it cannot find that program.
    BTW, when I try to update programs from within the programs, absolutely nothing happens.
    Any ideas???

    Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum.  Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is.  Apple is not here.  It's users, like you. 
    If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

  • HT1339 I'm not sure what I did, but my computer asked me what I want the ipod to do, and now it will only look for photos or videos on my device, and will not connect to itunes to download songs and podcasts.

    My computer asked to what I want the ipod to do. Now it only looks for videos and photos, which it does not find. I can't sync my podcasts or music to the device. Not sure how to fix it. It is an ipod touch.

    Connect your iPod to the computer (and iTunes) and look on the Device/Music pane, as below:
    You need to have Sync Music ticked, as shown.
    If you have Entire Music Library checked, then all your music should go back onto yuor iPod.
    If you have chosen Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres, you will see additional options for choosing which of those choices you want.
    If you make any changes here, you may need to click on the Sync, or Apply, button to make the changes happen.

  • My ipad mini just stopped working and will not turn on again.

    I tried holding the home and power buttons, but one of two things happen; either the white apple comes up (and shuts off) or the screen goes to the "iTunes" screen (and shuts off).  What gives?  It's charged to approximately 90% and I am right in the middle of an awesome

    Ok, it is charged enough and tries to reboot but gives up.  Try plugging it in with the wall charger and then try the reboot and see if it progresses past the logo.  If it still won't restart, take it to an Apple store genius bar for testing by the techs.

  • My ipad air touchscreen has stopped working to touch

    My ipad air touchscreen has stopped working and so i can't shut down, or login. How can i resolve this?

    Have you tried to give it a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 secones. If you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and see if your touchscreen is working.

  • HT6058 ipad 4 downloaded 7.0.4 and "wifi will not connect at work" and "will not keep password at home?"

    Since I downloaded 7.0.4 onto my iPad 4th gen. the wifi has been unstable. 
    The wifi will not consistently connect as a "guest" at work and will NOT maintain
    the password for my wifi at home.  Prior to the update to 7.0.4 this iPad never
    had any wifi issues!  I have tried all of the tactics of resetting wifi, re-downloaded the entire
    7.0.4 and with the same wifi issues?  At this point my iPad is useless to me without wifi!!!

    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 droping 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

    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.

    Hello wedge60,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning device recognition issues:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    If you haven't connected your iOS device to this computer before, unlock the device and tap Trust. Learn more about the Trust This Computer alert.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Restart your Mac.
    Make sure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
    Check USB connections. iOS devices need USB 2.0 to work properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, check the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Try another USB cable.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    BobbyD
