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.

  • Recent iOS update has made my iPad 2 unusable. The screen locks up. It's very laggy and web pages do not load correctly.  Is there a fix for this or are they even working on a fix.

    Recent iOS update has made my iPad 2 unusable. The screen locks up. It's very laggy and web pages do not load correctly.  Is there a fix for this or are they even working on a fix.

    Try some basic troubleshooting:
    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    (B) Try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    (C) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
    Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

  • My ipad has a black screen and won't start, any ideas?

    My Ipad 1 has a black screen and won't start, any ideas?  It is charged.

    If Paul's advice doesn't work try this.
    Hold down on the sleep button AND the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart.
    BTW ...In order to start up under normal circumstances you only need to hold down on the sleep button for a couple of seconds or so until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

  • IPad 3 won't start up (broken screen aswell) and when restoring/updating gives errors 3194 or 4005

    Like the title says, I have an iPad 3 from a friend which has a broken screen and won't start up anymore. He is not sure whether it's just the screen or
    something else aswell. So I'm able to get it recognized by itunes if I put it in recovery/dfu mode. Then I try restoring it but I get the error 4005 most of the time.
    It has nothing to do with the solutions given when I search for error 4005 on google (like hosts file and stuff) because I can easily update my iPhone and my sisters' iPhone. With a program called TinyUmbrella I'm able to get it recognized in iTunes WITHOUT the ipad being in recovery mode, because the program has an option to kick it back out of recovery mode. Then I'm able to access the pictures and delete apps all that stuff in itunes/windows, but I still do not get anything on the screen. So then I tried updating to ios 7 because the iPad was still on ios 6.1.3 but then I get error 3194 which is kinda the same as 4005. Also tried restoring but that gave the same error.
    So now i'm unsure whether the iPad would work if I replace the screen, because it seems to function properly when I can kick it out of recovery with TinyUmbrella. But then I thought, even if I did replace the screen, I still wouldn't be able to update the OS or restore? I don't want to waste my money replacing the screen if it won't even work afterwards..
    Yes I tried different usb ports, yes I tried different cables, yes I tried the hosts file thing, I don't have an antivirus installed (only 'antivirus' I have is malware bytes, windows firewall is off, tried on a different computer, tried on a mac, ... I don't think this is the reason because my iPhone updates perfectly.
    I did notice though that when restoring when the iPad is in recovery that it would say "waiting for ipad" but then my windows pc says "usb device not recognized" , maybe this has something to do with it?
    Solutions please?
    Thanks in advance

    A PRRAM reset did the trick.

    This Mac mini is a refurbished one, so probably had some old settings from being connected to something different before.
    The TV now is recognized properly as 'Philips FTV'.

  • Help ipad 1 won't start up ?

    My Ipad 1 won't start up, after the apple sign I just get a scrolling circle in the middle of the screen. It eventually switches itself off. Any ideas what I can do or is it finished ?

    Try this  - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

    My iPad 2 won't start even if I already went through pressing the home and start buttons simultaneously. I also tried charging the batteries for more than 30 minutes (done this procedure twice) but it won't still power on. What should I do next? Could it be a hardware issue then?

  • HT4623 My wife has an older ipad.  How do i know if it's IOS 5 or later? It doesn't show I have an update.

    the ipad states the version is 4.3

    If that's what iOS the iPad says then that's what you have.
    If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
    To update to iOS 5.1.1 for the iPad 1 or iOS 7.0.4 for iPad 2 and later you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).
