HT4623 IOS 7 upgrade bricked my iPad

I kicked off and update for IOS 7 on my iPad last night and just let it run.  I grabbed the iPad this morning and headed off to work.  Now I try to start it and it is completely non-functional.

If it wasn't connected to power the update would have killed it and the update wouldn't have stuck.
Plug it into a computer and make sure itunes is up to date or you will have connectivity issues. See if you can get the ipad to turn on from there. If you can and the update didn't work. backup the divice and then restore it and follow the promots from there.
-Hope this helps

  • How do I get iOS 5 upgrade for my iPad?

    How do I get iOS 5 upgrade for my iPad?

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware.
    The third generation iPod touch and original iPad can’t be updated past 5.1.1.

  • HT4623 iOS 7 upgrade failure.

    I followed all these steps when upgrading to iOS7 but the upgrade failed. My iPad then prompted me to restore the device. The problem is the iPad is now stalled at the point where it is installing firmware (Error message 1) Apple says it's a hardware problem and they can't fix it but there was no apparent hardware problem when I had iOS 6?

    Suggest you both try the steps in "Update your device using iTunes" near the bottom of the HT4623 article pcrutt attached above.  Make sure you are using the current iTunes on your comptuer (version 11.1.1).

  • HT4623 ios 5.1 update on iPad 2

    My iPad2 shows no software update option on the General page. What can I do to update my iPad 2 to ios 5.1 without this menu option?
    Thank you.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. 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).

  • HT4623 iOS 6 upgrade on iPhone 4 from iOS 5.1.1

    Hey everyone,
    I have been trying to update to iOS 6 from 5.1.1 on my iPhone 4 and right before it finishes preparing to update after the download I get an error message " " , I have tried cleaning up memory and freeing up space, rebooting and resetting phone back to factory settings and still the same error message, help please!!
    Thanks you all!!

    No, you will not have 3D maps nor Siri nor Panorama.
    You will lose Google Maps and YouTube, but there is a YouTube app in the App Store. Supposedly Google is readying a Google Maps app.
    Downgrading can be problematic and is not supported by Apple. Do not upgrade if you have a problem with any of the items I listed.

  • HT4623 ios 7.1.1 and ipad crashed?

    After installing update ipad will not work. It simply shows that it needs to be connected to Itunes.  Itunes says i need to do a factory restore.  Is there a way around this?

    FORCE IPAD INTO 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
    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:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

    you should can count how many replies on this topic. how many of them encounter the same issue. "posts" is a wrong word here for sure.
    "AFAIK, they send you an email stating why your post was deleted. I assume you said something inappropriate for these forums."
    I did mentioned jailbroken phone and one way did work for me but the Apple Support Communities Staff is more like you always focusing on critisizing others other than giving help.

  • Harvard business review app no longer works with th eios8 upgrade on my ipad

    I made the mistake of loading the iOS 8 upgrade to my iPad and now I have two problems:
    1.  The iPad can't find and doesn't recognize our home wireless (my husband does not have this problem and did not do the upgrade).
    2.  The Harvard Business Review app isn't functioning properly despite killing it and reloading it, trying to find answers on their site, etc.  There are only blue words on a white background, I no longer get the daily new content and the magazines look weird.
    Would welcome any help.  Thanks!

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all videos and resync
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    How to Upgrade to iOS 7
    The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
    There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
    To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
    Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
        1.    Go into the iPad's Settings.
        2.    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
        3.    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
        4.    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
        5.    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
    To upgrade using iTunes:
    First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
    You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
    Now you are ready to begin the process:
        1.    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
        2.    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
        3.    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
        4.    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
        5.    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
        6.    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
        7.    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
        8.    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.

  • HT4623 Went thro upgrading process for my mini ipad from version iOS 6 to iOS 7.At the end came to Terms & Condition section which prompted options "Agree" or "Disagree" at the bottom but on touching "Agree" there is no response at all & the ipad is unres

    Tried to upgrade my mini iPad from its  original iOS 6 version to iOS 7. All nearly completed but I can't get past the "iCloud Terms & Conditions" & "Privacy Policy" page as prompting to "Agree" or even "Disagree" at the bottom of the page does not let the iPad progress (or even backtrack) to any other display!
    I can actually see the GHOST PAGE titled "Find My iPad in iOS 7" concealed partially below the "Terms & Conditions" page.
    Since touch-prompting "Agree" on "Tems & Conditions" page failed to get any response,I also tried prompting "Disagree" in the hope that the upgrading would cancel or withdraw so as to go back to a perfectly working order version iOS 6 as before but unfortunately NOTHING AT ALL is happening & the iPad has become totally unresponsive.  Can anyone please guide me as to how to Restore my iPad to its working state as before?

    Try reset iPad and continue with update.
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • HT4623 iOS upgrade has killed my iPad, it won't start anymore.

    I just accepted the iOS 7.0.2 upgrade and my iPad has died. All I get is an iTunes logo mid screen with plug/lead graphic and an arrow pointing to the logo.
    I've tried all the buttons and even tried a reset, holding both down for 10 seconds, but it's as dead as a Dodo. I'm really wishing I hadn't agreed to this upgrade, can anyone help please?

    I know the symbol means it's required for the upgrade to complete it needs to be hooked into iTunes to have it send off information.  The computer must be connected to the internet and upon seeing that symbol the iPad has to be connected to the computer.  If that doesn't work what I was honestly do is set the iPad down and let it kill its own battery and then the next day plug it in to the computer and listen to it for the sound of a connected device and let it power itself on.  If those don't work then you will have to take it to an Apple Store to have it unlocked.
    @Custom17 I would have been able to answer that for you, or at least give you the same answer they're going to give you.  The reason it "jumps" all over the place has to do with the spatial effects built into the iOS.  When the lockscreen is on and you tilt the phone you should see the lockscreen moving (I found the factory "Starry Sky" lock screen is the best example of this.  The operating system works with layers building on it so it can manage the different applications going, think wedding cake, so something happening in the background or a wallpaper that doesn't agree with the OS is going to cause little jerks like that.  The black square can also be attributed to this, and both issues should be fixed quickly we all hope.

    Trying to do an IOS upgrade on my IPAD 2. It was running then came up with an ITUNES icon and just sits there.  How do I complete this upgrade and get my IPAD back??

    It sounds like it's gone into recovery mode. How were you trying to update it, directly on it of via your computer's iTunes ? If directly on it then have you tried conencting it to your computer's iTunes ?

  • After IOS 8 upgrade IPad 2 don't start

    Hi,
    After IOS 8 upgrade my IPad 2 don't start and just show this screen and nothing works.

    My ipad2 is having the same problem.  I can get it to start up by plugging the charger in.  I can then unplug it and it is working - but very slow and prone to randomly shutting things down.
