HT201401 After updating to iOS 6 my iPad only has image to connect to iTunes. I plug it in and it says it is in recovery mode and have to restore to original settings.. why? what can I do?

I did the new update for iOS 6. Afterwards it says it had to restart and it did. Then the image saying to plug into iTunes appeared. I plugged it in and it says it is in "recovery mode".. Not sure what to do? I really don't want to wipe it clean, have it alot of info saved. What can I do? Can I take back the upgrade back? I need this fixed quick.

Your device is in recovery mode.  All data on it are gone.
Certainly you backed up your device before attempting something major like a software upgrade right?  If you didn't perfom this most basic of tasks, then your data are gone.

  • After updating to iOS 8 the iPad Air is getting crashed frequently including safari

    After updating to iOS 8 the iPad Air is getting crashed frequently including safari.

    Have you tried to reset it? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and see if that helps.
    You may need to restore your iPad. That's where you back it up, then restore it to factory defaults, then put your backup back on so you don't lose any data. Sometimes a fresh start clears out any glitches and can help.

  • After updating software on my Apple TV it is asking to connect to iTunes. Can't understand why?

    After updating software on my Apple TV it is asking to connect to iTunes. Can't understand why?

    You can try borrowing one. These cables are common for Android, Kindle etc. users.
    Here are some steps and notes to try:
    MANY people are reporting they've had to try multiple micro USB cables to find one that works. I got one that worked from a neighbor.
    For clarification, this needs to be a "micro" USB, not a "mini" USB
    Some people have also reported they've had to try the Restore process more than once.
    1. Unplug Apple TV and move it to your computer running latest version of iTunes.
    2. Quit iTunes if running.
    3. Plug micro USB cable to the back of the Apple TV.
    4. Power the Apple TV using  the AC cable.
    5. iTunes shoud either launch itself (a good indication that the micro USB cable you're using is compatible), or launch iTunes.
    6. Click Restore. Software will download and install (big file).

    Go to the Store menu in iTunes, and select "View My Account..."  When you get to the account page, click on "Deauthorize All."  This will clear the list of computers authorized to play your songs.  Then you can go and reauthorize them one at a time.

    3) Release the sleep button and keep the home buttton pressed untill your computer detects your phone.

    Them try:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • After updating to iOS 8 my iPad 2 does not keep my user name and password for isp start page

    After updating to iOS 8 my i pad 2 does not store the user name and password for my earthlink start page.  In past could go to bookmark and the start
    page would automatically come up.  Now I must enter the user name and password every time to access the personalized start page.  tried to find some settings that needed changing but no luck.  is this a problem with iOS 8     Earthlink referred me to apple   they could not help    any help here

    Hello nkrlw,
    It may be that AutoFill is disabled in Safari, or that Private Browsing is on.
    Go to Settings > Safari > Passwords & AutoFill and make sure that Names and Passwords is on.
    Go to your Home screen and open Safari. If Safari is black or dark instead of white or gray, Private Browsing is on. Safari doesn't save account names and passwords when Private Browsing is on. To turn off Private Browsing:
    On iPad, tap the the plus icon in the upper-right corner of the Safari page, then tap Private in the lower-left corner.
    On iPhone and iPod touch, tap  in the lower-right corner of the Safari page, then tap Private in the lower-left corner.

  • Has anyone had trouble with safari after updating to ios 8 on ipad

    I am having trouble viewing a web page through safari after updating to ios 8 on my ipad.  On the left side of my screen is a list of my favorites leaving only 3/4 of the screen to view a web page.  Before the ios 8 update when I clicked on the safari icon it took me to a full screen view of my favorites with icons.

    Same issue here, seems to be fine on text based websites, but any with images on struggle to load.
    im on 100mb fibre, and all sites work fone on other devices, just my iPad since upgrading
    its loads the site slowly, displays about 3/4 of the page once loaded

  • HT4623 How do I update my iOS on my iPad that has 5.1 ?  When I go to settings and update, it says everything is up to date as 5.1 iOS. :-(

    I need to update the iOS on my iPad.  There is no option under the settings, general section.

    A first generation iPad can't be updated past 5.1.1. Any device running an iOS version prior to 5.0 must be updated from iTunes on a computer, and if possible, the one it normally syncs with.
