Ios8 failed update now iPad 2 is frozen, with iTunes icon on screen

My kid saw that the iOS 8 update was available for my iPad 2 and he proceeded to try to do the update but after a while when he checked how it was going there was only a black screen with the iTunes icon in the middle and what looks like a cord pointing to it.
At first we had tried to do the update wirelessly but after I saw that sign I assumed that the iPad wanted me to plug it to the iTunes app. I tried it in my old laptop where i had my iTunes account and the update failed to download again. I then tried it in a brand new iMac that I bought a few weeks ago and where iTunes was not previously installed but the update keeps failing every time and it gives error code number 9. It says to check for the latest version of the iMac iOS and also the latest iTunes which i have both of so I do not think that that is the problem. It also talks about security software interfering with the connection but like I said before this is a brand new iMac and I have not installed any security software yet.
Any ideas on how I can get my iPad working again? I don't care if I keep the old iOS for now but I just want it to work again.
Thanks in advance

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.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

My Ipad 2 have frozen with itunes icon alot , I bring to apple store fix it alot , but bring home use only a week , ipad have same broblem again , I very tired and mad because I pay alot money for apple but they give me bad ipad , future I thing about samsung tablet . Now my ipad still have a problem I am very upset this ****.

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

Was reading book official appearing pop up came up asking if I wanted to upgrade-I pressed to do it and iPad is frozen with iTunes image and image of charger cord

Was reading book on iPad
Pop up asked if I wanted to upgrade- probably stupidly I agreed- now iPad screen is frozen with ITunes symbol and image of charger cord on screen- tried turning it off - no help.

Carolyn explained how to reset the iPad. You don't need a tool or clip to do this...just your fingers.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
I do not think that is going to work, but try it.
You are getting the connect to iTunes message and that usually means that your iPad needs to be restored.

HT1430 ipod is frozen with itunes symbol on screen and picture of USB cable

My sons ipod is frozen with the itunes symbol on it and the usb' cable pictured. I can't turn it off. Ive tried resetting it and the apple symbol appears but this picture reappears.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Anyone know how to restart the phone in this state?

Hold down the top power button and the round button on front at the same time until it shuts off. I then had to Connect to itunes via usb. and had to do a system restore. That fixed it for me.

Can you describe the situation rather than just state that it isn't working. That doesn't tell us anything at all except that it's not working. We have no idea what you are doin or what happens when you try it.
