Cannot prepare iPad Mini iOS 8

Apple Configurator is v1.6. If do not select a backup to restore during preparation then without fail the device will freeze on the Apple ID screen on the iPad. Reboot leaves it stuck on the Apple logo. If I do select a backup to restore (latest being a 7.1.2) it will reboot itself and be stuck on the Apple logo. This is extremely frustrating as no literature was provided proactively beforehand, and we cannot stay with 7.1.2. The process was working flawlessly up to 7.1.2 and v1.5. Now if I try and prepare an iPad I have to restore via iTunes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

These particular iPads are being prepared for the first time, with the intention to supervise. Approx 40 other iPads have been prepared/supervised from this server in the past (Pre iOS 8)

    Why can't I open i Tunes and App Store in Settings Menu on iPad Mini IOS 7.1.2?

    What happens when you try?
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

    Pls help m out.
    thanks

    Connect the iPad to a charger, let it charge for half an hour, then try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.
    If that does not work, start iTunes on your computer, connect the USB end of the cable, then press and hold the power button on the iPad and connect the other end of the cable.  Hold the power button for three seconds, and while continuing to hold it, press and hold the home button.  Continue to hold both buttons for ten seconds and then release the power button but continue to hold the home button for another twenty seconds.
    When you release the home button, iTunes should now see the iPad and allow you to restore it.

  • Hi Apple! I am having a few problems with my 6 month old iPad mini (ios 7.1.1). I am using my iPad and then some time later it just restars! Don't know why and it just keeps doing it! Please fix or if I restore my iPad will it do any good? Thank you

    Plug your iPad into your computer, open iTunes, and click Restore. This will reset your iPad to factory settings, so make sure everything important is stored safely. Once the restore is complete, do NOT restore from your backup.
    If you still have problems, take the iPad to the Apple Store or another AASP (Apple Authorised Service Provider). If you're still within warranty, any service will be of no cost. Check your serial number here or find your receipt.
    Hope I've helped!
    PS: This is a peer-to-peer forum. Apple generally doesn't pay attention here.

  • Ipad mini iOS 6.1.3 application update

    My ipad mini iOS 6.1.3 reflect 5 application updates.  When I access the panel to install the updates it is not reflecting any updates.  How do I fix this?

  • My iPad mini iOS version is 6.0.2  I can't upgrade to iOS 7.  Message displayed is "Verification of update failed because you are no longer connected to the internet."  This happens while I am connected to the internet.  What should I do?

    My iPad mini iOS version is 6.0.2 which I can't upgrade to iOS 7.  Message displayed during verifying upgrade is "Can't verify upgrade because you are no longer connected to the internet". This happens again and again though I am connected to the internet through wifi.  What should I do?

    Reset the iPad and try again. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Reset your router and try again. Unplug your router from power for about 30 seconds then plug it in again.
    Try another WiFi Network. Go to a friend's house, a library, anywhere else that you can use a trusted WiFi network.
    Try updating using iTunes on your computer.

    Sorry, downgrading is not supported by Apple.
    You can look in your notifications and poke through your settings panel. There's a ton of stuff defaulted to on that you may not need, such as background app refresh and background updating of apps.

    Why iPad mini battery drain so quickly in sleep mode? about 35% in 7 days sleep mode (100% to 65%). Compare with my iPad 2, 7 days in sleep mode, only 2%! (100 - 98%). is it because differences in iOS? iPad mini iOS 6.0.1, iPad 2 iOS 4.3.3. I'm really frustating because of this. thanks for help

    What kind of ipad mini / ipad 2 you got?
    AFAIK,
    1. ipads drain battery with 3g/4g on (regardless on wifi or not) 1% overnight.. so for 7 days .. 65 is about correct.
    2. Are your ipads setup to receive remote push notification? (more push = more battery drain.. as the screen lit up)
    3. With iOS 6 vs iOS 4 .. there are more stuff running in the background and more toggles.. that could also contribute to battery drain.
