Error 9 (repeatable) after ios update on ipad 3

Hi,
I tried to update my ipad 3 to the newest ios and it crashed. Won't turn on anymore, resetting keeps ending in Error 9 (two different machines, three different cables). Any chance to get that god **** thing going again? The ******* genius bar offers me exactly one afternoon to drop the bricked piece of metal, but I have to work. I am really frustrated.
Thanks and please don't link to the stupid "Resolve iOS update and restore errors" page, nothing on there helps me.

Thanks, but no help. I sort of took over this thread here, where you can see what i tried:
UPGRADE KILLED MY IPAD
Also: I am not going to wait half an hour in front of a ******* apple store to have them tell me that it is a hardware error (it is not, worked perfectly fine before the update, no other way than being triggerd by it) and that they will kindly replace it for 350 bucks (wait, is that the price for a new nexus 9? oh, it is!). I am not an idiot. It's still hard to grasp how people accept that kind of "support" by a company that likes to present itself as industry leader.
Appreciate your help though, really.

    Dear Apple Support,
    Good day to you.
    This is to report the problem i encountered when i updated my Ipad mini to the new IOS 8.1..
    After the update my Ipad restart and after that it appears a picture that need to connect to itunes and need  to restore. So i connect it to itunes and wait to restore my ipad mini because it is not opening.
    After restoring it my ipad is now opening and it is like new that i need to set up again.
    I set up again until i reach the apple id and password.
    I put my below apple ID and password to unlock my ipad but it didn't work. The message i receive is "the apple ID cannot be used to unlock this Ipad.
    What will I do? Please help.

    Dear Leslie J.,
    Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iCloud and iMessage on an iPad mini named “Leslie Joye's iPad”.
    If you have not recently set up an iPad with your Apple ID, then you should change your Apple ID password. Learn more.

    1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
    2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.
    Is your iPad working?

    If you have been syncing with itunes on a computer, then should not be a problem. If you've never dones so, then you should. If you don't have a computer, then at least set up icloud on your device and perform a backup in icloud.

    We were able to update iPhones but get an error message when trying update our iPad. Ay suggestions?

    What iOS are you currently running?
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • After I update my ipad to the newest verison, I cannot purchase any games from apple store, what can I do?

    After I update my Ipad to the newest version iOS 6.0, I cannot buy any apps or games throught apple store.
    I remembered when I install the new version the device asked me if I want to use iCloud and I clicked "No",
    is it the reason I cannot download anything from apple store.
    Error message : Please contact itune for support.
    Could you please tell me what should I do now?  I want to buy the game very much!!

    Try a reset:
    1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together)
    2. For about 10 seconds
    3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)

  • Can't connect to wifi after IOS update.  Do you know a solution?

    Loaded the new update and now it is sporatic connections with the wi fi.  I have unplugged the router and all that, still no luck.  It will work normally very briefly, but only briefly after I unplug the router, etc.
    Do any of you have a solution to fix this?
    Thank you!

  • HT201210 Error when trying to update my ipad

    I got an error when trying to update my ipad saying it could not be updated and gave an error 6.  Has anyone else had this happen and how did you rectify it?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    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.

  • My daughter said that after she updated he Ipad to io6, my Icloud info appeared on it. She does not have my password so how could that happen? How do I make sure it gets off there.

    My daughter said that after she updated her Ipad to io6, my name and other info appeared on her device. She does not have my login info so how could this happen? Her Mom purchased the device not me. The two devices have never been synced and never shared the same WiFi. How could this happen and how do I get it off?

    It could only happen if your iCloud account was set up on her iPad when she updated to iOS 6.  To fix this she needs to delete the account from her iPad and set up her own with a different Apple ID.  (Deleting the account will only remove it from her iPad, not from iCloud.  Your device will not be effected by this.)
    If she was syncing data with your account such as contacts and calendars, her data would have been merged with yours and would now appear on both devices.  In that case, she needs to go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPad.  After everything is turned off, she should scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, she should set up a new iCloud account on her iPad using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.  You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the unwanted data (such as deleting her contacts from your account, and vice versa).  These changes will be reflected on each device.  When finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data on them.
    If she wasn't syncing her data with your account, all she needs to do is go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then set up her own with a different Apple ID.

  • How can I improve picture quality...now grainy after IOS update!

    How can I improve picture quality...now grainy after IOS update!

    Hello, dreamer5th. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are some troubleshooting steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.  They are labeled for the iPhone; however, the steps also apply to your iPad.  Also, make sure to test the camera in well lighted conditions as this can affect picture quality. 
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

    If the issue persists see the last section labeled Issue not resolved.
    Cheers,

  • HT4623 After I updated my iPad using my computer, it has started to lag a lot and run very slowly. Why is it doing this and is there any way to make it stop lagging?

    I updated my iPad mini last night using my laptop (I usually update it on the iPad itself) and after the update, the iPad has been slow and laggy ever since. When I try to type something, it freezes up and may not actually show that i typed it for another minute or two. Even if I close all my apps and restart it, the problem is still there. Does anybody know what's going on and/or how to solve this problem?

    Try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary
