IOS 6 update didn't finish - iPad now a brick

I updated my phone and iPad by connecting to the computer with the USB. My iPhone 4S update went smoothly, but my iPad (3) stalled when the progress bar was at 1/3. It han't moved in hours. I attempted to put in recovery mode by holding the home button down whle re-attaching to the computer, but it simply returnd to the screen with the progress bar and stops at 1/3.
The iPad appears to be now a brick.
Any ideas?

I succeded by:
1) disconnecting and turning off the iPad
2) plugged the iPad back into the computer
3) press and hold the top and home button until the iPad said to connec to iTunes
4) launched iTunes and updated, then restored the entire iPad
5) whewww!
I THOUGHT I tried this before, but the second time I tried it on another Mac (but suspect that had nothing to do with it). I may not have held the two buttons down long enough the first time to get the message on the iPad.
Good Luck!

  • Will my pictures be deleted? iOS 7 update didn't work.  Now it's telling me to do a factory reset.

    I went to update my iPhone to the iOS7, and right after the backup part at the beginning, something happened and it said "An unknown error ocurred. Could not complete update" so my phone just stopped working and when I went to connect it to iTunes again, it tells me that I need to restore it and do a factory reset.  Is this going to delete all of my pictures?

    Something went wrong with the update, this can and does happen with every version of iOS.
    There is nothing wrong with the update.
    Simply restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
    If iTunes is stating it will take hours to update, that indicates an extremely slow Internet connection and is likely the reason the OTA update failed.

  • HT4623 I was updating my iPhone 5 through iTunes. I think I lost Internet connection so the update didn't finish. Now my phone has a weird icon on the screen and says iTunes in a circle and I can't do anything. Suggestions?

    Help. After trying to update I ended up with a locked iPhone. What should I do?

    Im sorry to hear that. You need to restore like brad said.
    But you can restore from a latest backup from itunes after restore. I hope you had a recent backup made.

  • Help please. Iphone was Backed up yesterday. But today's didn't finish. Now, I have a file but it will not allow a restore from said file. And yesterday's is gone. What the hello do I do?

    Help please. Iphone was Backed up yesterday. But today's backup didn't finish. Now, I have a file (marked today) but it will not allow a restore from said file. And yesterday's is gone. What the hello do I do? IS there anyway to get my sms back post restore/update?

    The problem is absolutely not Reader. The problem is that FireFox has stepped in front of Reader and handles all the PDF stuff - wrongly in your case. FireFox is DESIGNED to take over PDF files. But it is not capable of doing IRS forms!
    To start with go back to IE for these forms. When you save them to disk DO NOT DOUBLE CLICK ON THEM until this is fixed. Just open the in the normal way - start Adobe Reader and use Open from the File menu.

  • After 11.1 and ios 7 update, cannot log into ipad. says apple ID already in use. no issues prior to updates.

    After 11.1 and ios 7 update, cannot log into ipad. says apple ID already in use. no issues prior to updates.tried both primary and backup emails. says both already in use

    randers4, thank you for the suggestions.
    1) I have contacted Verizon and they are not blocking "premium" or 3rd party text messages.
    2) The Apple ID login issue occurs regardless of wi-fi network location, or even if I am not on wi-fi at all. Router settings are irrelevant to this problem.
    3) I have already played around extensively with date and time settings. This did not fix any issues.
    Any other suggestions? I had another call with Apple support and they are of the opinion that I may need to have the phone totally replaced, which is unacceptable unless it is free of charge.

  • Updated Scrabble on my iPad now it crashes when I open app, how do I fix without losing games I am playing now?

          Updated Scrabble on my iPad, now it crashes when I open. How do I fix, without losing games I am playing now?

    I have a similar issue.  I have the CS4 Design Premium with all updates on an iMac running 10.6.  All Adobe apps work except for Flash 10.0.2.566.  All apps worked perfectly under 10.5.  Within seconds of loading a file or clicking 'New' Flash terminates generating an Apple crash report (see exerpt below) - not an Adobe crash report.
    Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
    Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000004
    Crashed Thread:  0  Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
    (BTW, sometimes a normal Quit is interpreted as a crash by the other CS4 apps.  Could this be related?)

  • Need HELP...Flash Trial didn't finish downloading-now can't find it

    I just downloaded the trial version of Flash from the Adobe
    website, but for some reason the download didn't finish or the
    installation of the download was interrupted/causing it not to
    finish. Now I can't seem to find Macromedia Flash on my
    computer...I see the Macromedia file under my All Programs list but
    the only things in that folder are the ReadMe file, Macromedia
    Extension Manager, and Macromedia Flash 8 Video Encoder. I think my
    problem is somewhat kind of simple...it took it about 15-20 minutes
    to download the trial version from Adobe's website...something just
    happened towards the end of the process (I think the battery
    started dying & by thhe time I realized it, my computer had
    already shut off). Is there a way to recover the
    download/installion process after something like that happens? Any
    help that anyone can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Michelle

    Ok, it's most likely sitting in your tempoary internet files.
    To get there you'll need to click onto your start menu then find a
    tab called controll panel. When you click on that a window will
    open with lots of differant options, (you want the one called
    network and internet options.) Another window will open, click on
    internet options.
    A smaller window will open. Click on the settings button in
    the genral tab, ANOTHER window will open, click on tempry internet
    files and scroll through the files untill you find a file from
    www.adobe.com finishing in either .zip or .exe, hope this helps you
    out a bit!! (good luck)

  • HT4623 I don't know what has happened but the update didn't work and now it asks me to restore the iPad. I don't know whether I should as i'm too scared it will delete everything i had on my iPad. What should i do if i did backup my iPad before the update

    So i have a serious problem regarding the iOS update on my iPad 4 and i don't know whether i should restore it because i'm scared it will loose all the data.

    You are saying that you DID backup your iPad so there should be no worries at all. After you restore the iOS, you can restore from the backup - and sync with iTunes, if you are using iTunes - and you should be fine. If you see the iTunes logo and the USB cable on the screen, you are in recovery mode.
    Read this for more information.
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple
    If you didn't backup your iPad, there is nothing that you can do about it now. You will lose everything when you restore. You can add you purchased content back to the device using the purchased tabs in all of the iStores or you can sync your content back to the iPad if you use iTunes.
    No matter what, you have to restore if you want to be able to use your iPad again.

    Hey mfrouns,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like your iPhone is not recognized in iTunes when connected to your computer. To troubleshoot this issue, see the relevant article for your operating system:

  • IOS 8 update did not installing iPad Mini, space still used by installer, not recognized by Software Update, says I need to make more space again

    I Cleared room on my iPad Mini for the iOS 8 install, downloaded the installer and started he install. Device restarted rather quickly after turning off for install, did not update. When I went back to Software Update to try again, it says I need to redownload the installer and I now am using the ~1GB of space taken up by the original install file and need to clear that much space. Any way to either get my iPad to recognize the install files or delete it so I can try again?

    Hooked it up to iTunes to update. The first time I tried, an error popped up that said there was an error with the firmware, so I reset my iPad Mini and tried again. This time it updated fine, no errors. Thanks for the help.  Also, the original update file is now deleted. Because I have that space back.

  • What is wrong with wifi after iOS 6 update on the new iPad ?

    Since I upgraded to iOS 6 my iPad ***** at connecting to Wi- Fi.  I have been using iPads since the original launch and I currently own the 3rd gen iPad. Since the upgrade to iOS 6.0 the performance of Wi-Fi is terrible. My iPad often cannot find networks that were working less an hour earlier. The only resolution to this issue that i have found is to consistent is to power off the iPad for a few minutes and try again. Sometime I have to do this 3-4 times to get Wi-Fi working again.  I have seen other reports of similar problems in web forums and in tech news. What is Apple doing to resolve these issues?  What is the expected timeline for a resolution? 

    This is an iPad user to user forum and Apple doesn't read. So we have no way of knowing when an update to iOS 6 will be released.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
