Ios 8.0.2 update required a restore on my iPad mini :(

After the update to 8.0.2, my iPad mini ended at a screen with a cable and the iTunes logo.
So I have found a PC to install iTunes on and it told me I needed to restore. Fortunately that worked, but a bit of a pain in the....
Fingers cross my kids' minecraft worlds restore ok from iCloud otherwise life won't be worth living

What are you seeing on the iPad's screen ? If it's gone into recovery mode (does it show the iTunes icon and cable ?) then it's too late to take a new backup - prior to starting the update did you not take a backup, either to the cloud and/or to your computer's iTunes, that you can restore to ?

HT4623 Now that iOS is consistently being updated. Will the 1st Generation IPad be stuck with IOS 5? Eventually my IPad will be good for nothing as Apps start requiring the updated software.

The iPad 1 can only be updated to iOS 5.1.1. This is unlikely to change.
The apps you have will continue to work and there are still many apps which run on iOS 5 (or even earlier iOS levels).

I downloaded the new iOS 7 and i can't open safari in my iPad mini, what's going on?

I downloaded the new iOS 7 and i can't open safari in my iPad mini, what's going on?

You can't open it meaning it does not launch when you tap on the app icon? If that's what's happening try this and then see if Safari will launch.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
Now close Safari. To close Safari, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to Safari and then swipe "up" on the Safari thumbnail app to close it.
Now reboot the iPad. Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If Safari does launch and this isn't what you are experiencing - you need to explain in more detail what is going on.

Ios 8.0.2 sync after restore freezes after ipad mini restore

Its unbelievable the kind of buggy releases apple has started releasing off late! this is worse than microsoft!
i have an ipad mini 1st gen with ios 8.0.2, the UI was extremely laggy so i transferred my purchases, backed up and restored my ipad. now the app syncing never ends! it freezes on some or the other app each time i restart the sync. its getting on my nerve. i left it to sync all afternoon and this time it froze on pages (which was the 5th app being synced).
HELP!

Try the following:
Try logging out of your Apple ID:
Settings/iTunes & App Store/(tap your Apple ID)/tap Sign Out
Next, reset your device:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
After the reset, sign back in to your Apple ID:
Settings/iTunes & App Store, then sign back in using your credentials
If it doesn't work (I've now heard a couple of replies saying that it does NOT), you'll have to wait for a fix by Apple since this is a system notification.
The other option (which should work) is to restore the device as new (not from a backup), and move your content (data, settings, music, apps, etc) back to the device manually. You'll need a backup your content. This is a pretty big & involved task so you may just want to ignore that badge on your Settings app.

IPAD Mini Freezing up in installation mode as it is installing Update iOS 8.1.3 . I cannot turn off the iPAD Mini . How do I resolve this problem?

iPAD Mini purchased for Xmas 2013 is freezing as it tries to complete the installation of the iOS update 8.1.3. The screen his frozen on the installation mode and I cannot turn off the iPAD Mini. How do I turn off the iPAD Mini and resolve this problem?

Try a reset, hold the power button and home button until you see the apple then let go. Also, it is iOS 8.2 that you are trying to install since that is the current version. I had no problems updating my mini today so hopefully yours will go well too.

Ios8.2 since updating cant update apps or download apps on ipad mini with retina

ios8.02 and now ios8.1 ipad mini still not updating apps or allowing to download from store. circle spins and does nothing else .

Turn off any auto-update, if it is on, then tap.any of the "circle icons" showing that a download is in progress, in order to stop the download. Then go to the Settings and reset the Network Settings. After the iPad starts back up, then check to make sure no apps are currently in progress of downloading. If any are, stop them again, and reset the network settings again. When it starts up again, none should be in the process of downloading. Then from that point forward, only download manually and never more than two at a time. If it is more than 100 MB, then do only one at a time. If any gets stuck at that point, then stop the download and reset the Network settings.
That should take care of you for now. We'll see what another update brings ... IOS 8.2 (which might be the next one).

My macbook pro 10.5.8 cannot download the iTunes required to sync my new iPad mini. What can I do?

Is there a way that I can download iTunes 10.7 or any iTunes which will be compatible with my iPad mini that I am able to download on my macbook pro 10.5.8? I want to sync my music from my macbook pro, but I am denied because i don't have the latest version of iTunes which is not downloadable on my mac because it requires macbook 10.6.8 or newer.

You need to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6 and then run Software Update.

This is aggravating... restoring backup to iPad mini from iPad 3 doesn't restore apps

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4484316?start=0&tstart=0
I followed this, 3 times, and each time, the folders restore, the data in things like email and contacts restore, but none of my apps restore.
It's an iPad mini cellular version, if that matters. I plug in my iPad 3, right click on the device and select Back up. When it's done, I reset my mini, erasing everything, then restore from backup. Apps don't back up.

I just restore my used ipad mini and I can't activate it! Help me!

I just buy used ipad mini from Saudi and after I get back to my country, I restore it using recovery mode! It still need old owner email account assword. The problem is I can't contact the previous owner because email I delivered for him/her was failed to deliver! It seems he/she deleted his/her email account! Now, my ipad mini are useless! Please help me! Is Apple Store Service can make it activate for me?

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.
