IOS8 update failed on my iPad Mini

I went to update my iPad mini to iOS8 from iOS7 and it powered off and then on the screen it came up with an iTunes logo and a wire meaning 'Connect to iTunes'. I did exactly what it told me and when I connected it, it said on iTunes that in order to get iOS8 i had to 'restore iPad'. I pressed this and then it was downloading for about 2 and a half hours when a message came up on the screen saying that i had to restore my iPad which i was already in the process of doing while it was plugged into my laptop.
My iPad has been like this since iOS8 came out and now it is stuck in recovery mode and every time i try to update it, it says that there is some kind of error.
So basically my iPad is stuck in recovery mode and i have no way of getting out of it. It is crucial that i use my iPad for College so i need it right away.
Can anyone help me please?
As soon as possible.
Thank You.

I have the same problem....after the update failed and left me with the cable to itunes screen it would NOT connect to the PC windows....I have tried all sorts of thngs....all combos of buttons and re power ups...and restart including holding both buttons down....the itunes on PC does not see the ipad at all....help?????

Updated itunes to use ipad mini and itunes wont start up now?

i have a ipad3 + iphone4 + ipod touch and just brought ipad mini pluged it into itunes then itunes says have to update to use with ipad mini so i updated it like normal restarted pc and now doesnt work try reinstalling and repairing files still didnt work any ideas?

If anyone would like to know how to fix this, I discovered the answer.
I have no idea what IPv6 is and I care not, but apparently now, all of a sudden, Apple makes iTunes talk to Airport Express units using IPv6. However, it didnt bother to make the Airport Express units expect this first, so iTunes can see the Airport Express, but it cant talk to it.
Anyway, I found that you have to manually go into your Mac settings (scary stuff if you are a non technical person like me) and turn off IPv6.
To do this, go to "Finder > Go > Utilities > Terminal"
type
networksetup -setv6off Wi-Fi (hit enter)
Then type
networksetup -setv6off Ethernet (hit enter)
and magically your iTunes will talk to your Airport Express units again.
I presume at some point we will have to undo this as technology moves on and everything uses IPv6, so when that happens go into Terminal again and type
networksetup -setv6automatic Wi-Fi (hit enter)
Then type
networksetup -setv6automatic (hit enter)
Thanks Apple for that.

Unable to update or restore new iPad Mini 2. Get error 3014 on two different Macs.

Unable to update or restore new iPad Mini 2. Get error 3014 on two different Macs. This is a new out of the box iPad Mini 2. Am on a managed network, but have not had this problem previously.

First thing to do is make sure you have the latest version of iTunes on your computer.

Pages for ios8 won't download on iPad mini

Every time I try to update pages on my iPad min, it gets almost to the end and then stops. An error message pops up that states that there was an error downloading pages and that it can't download at this time. It downloaded on my iPhone without any problem but won't on my iPad. Any ideas why?

Thanks for the replay, James. Unfortunately, I don't think that's the problem. I've tried a couple of times today and I still get the same error: Unable to Download App "Pages" could not be downloaded at this time.

IOS 7.0.4 Update Causing my original iPad Mini to Crash / Reboot Several Times a Day

After running the 7.0.4 update on my original iPad Mini, now the device crashes / reboots randomly when I use it.
I have already tried a complete reset and restore. I redownloaded 7.0.4 using iTunes, setup as new but it is still happening.

I'm having the same problem with my ipad w/ retina display. Updated to 7.0.4 on Thursday or Friday and since last night been experiencing blue screen and random restarts.
Until recently it seemed to be linked only to the 'clash of clans' app, but now it is happening on the App Store too.
I contacted apple this morning, after an unsuccessful attempt at complete restore and set up as new ipad. They advised to restore a pervious back up and delete the clash of clans game. Did this, and now I'm getting problems elsewhere which suggests it isn't a compatibility issue with the OS and game.
Also in the same boat as you as I got it on November 2nd, launch day, and out of warranty by 2 weeks. Hopefully they can sort this either by fixing a bug in the OS or repairing my device as it's served me well with no issues for the past 12 months.

IOS8 update failed on my iPad2, now stuck in recovery mode

Hi there
I am in a bit of a pickle! This is what happened:
1.     Plugged my iPad2 into iTunes, downloaded iOS8 and it began to install;
2.     iTunes downloaded the software and began to update iPad;
3.     Device showed Apple Logo and progress bar BUT then update failed. iTunes informed me it failed, clicked OK. iPad stuck and did not recover;
4.     Did a hard reset;
5.     iPad showed Red iTunes logo and said to connect to iTunes;
6.     Connected to iTunes which stated: iPad Recovery Mode, If you are experiencing problems with your iPad, you can restore to original settings by clicking Restore iPad
7.     Clicked restore iPad - warnings about losing data etc...
8.     iTune redownloaded iOS8,
9.     After downloading iTunes went back to the iPad Recovery Mode screen,
10.   iTunes redownloaded iOS8
11.   goes into an infinite loop back to point 6 and round and round we go.....
If I leave the iPad it exits recovery mode and tries to restart - but black screen after apple logo.......
Going back into recovery mode - it does the same again.... no joy...
I'm really stuck - thankfully have a backup, but does anyone have any suggestions?????????
Thankyou!
PS - iTunes, and OS Mavericks is fully up to date...

It's not possible to revert to a previous system. You're failing and it won't work, because it's not possible.
If you want to give your operating system a fresh start, here's how to do it ... reset to factory default ...
Follow this procedure for a Troubleshooting Methodology ... basically reset to factory default condition -BUT- be sure to do the following methodically and also to follow the part with Apple Support!
First you want to make sure you have several backups of your data and done with a couple of "different" sources. Be sure to understand what data is backed up and what is NOT on iCloud Backup and iTunes Backup. Use a variety of methods for backup ... you might check into Dropbox, in addition to your Apple options.
Then turn off your desktop anti-virus software when using iTunes for this reset to factory default. After you do that reset, then leave your iPad in its factory default state and see how it operates then. If you encounter any problems in that factory default state, then take it to Apple Support, and let them know that you have just reset it to that state with iTunes and have not put any of your data back on and it is operating in this fashion (whatever the problem is) in that pristine state. Make sure you keep that trouble ticket number, because if it has to be escalated through Apple Support, you're going to find all communications tied in with that number. If the lower level help isn't able to help you, then escalate it to a higher level to examine the problem. Keep at it with that trouble ticket number until Apple Support arrives at a solution to that problem. Be methodical and keep at it.
On the other hand, if everything is okay with the factory default condition, then restore your backup. Some people have discovered that the problem resides in the apps or something in the restored backup. If that's the case, then it's going to be trying and difficult to find out which developer's app is causing you the problem. And ... it's true ... that a developer not following Apple's instructions and guidelines for his app can CAUSE YOU TROUBLE. This kind of thing does happen from developers, especially when a new system upgrade comes out, because some developers ignore what Apple tells them about changes coming, and what they do BREAKS SOMETHING.
This is a troubleshooting methodology that you are going through. See it through to the end.

When I try to update apps on my iPad mini, I tap the "Update" button, but the app just opens and doesn't update.

I have an iPad mini, 16G, WiFi only. My operating system is iOS 7.0.3. My problem is that my App Store has stopped updating apps. And it's not like the update starts, but never finishes. It doesn't start at all. I touch the "Update" button, and the app opens instead of updating. I have 9 updates now, and none of them work. And the rest of the App Store is working fine. I have no problems searching for apps or downloading new apps. It's just the updates that don't work. I had thought that maybe I needed to update my software and then it would start working, but I can't. The available software update requires 5.9G of storage, and I only have 1.6G. I also thought that maybe there was not enough forage to update the apps, but if that was the case, then it would tell me that there is not enough storage instead of opening the app. Does anyone know how to fix this? I really need to update my apps!

Hey there nstephanie0625,
It sounds like you are unable to update your apps in the App store because they launch, rather than update. I would recommend starting by signing out of your Apple ID in Settings:
iTunes: Using the iTunes Store for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Create New Apple ID on your device.
Then quit all the running apps on your phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

HT4623 my daughter was trying to do an ios update on her new ipad mini it now says to plug into itunes she does not have a seperate computer for that, the reason for the ipad can anyone tell me how to fix this or how to reset the ipad

tried to do an ios update the ipad mini is now asking to plug into itunes, have now seperate computer to do this can not get any other screen to come up on ipad can the ipad be reset or how do I fix this

If it's showing the connect to iTunes screen then it sounds like it's gone into recovery mode and will need to be connected to a computer's iTunes in order to be reset. Does neither she nor you have a computer, and if she hasn't has she been backing up to the cloud instead ?
Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether content is still in the store, she might be able to re-download some/all of her downloads via the Purchased tabs in the App Store and iTunes store apps

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.

Since update the calendar on ipad mini REMINDERS has vanished

HOw do i gelt back the cale dar in Reminders on ipad mini. Not there since I updated 2 days ago.

See the troubleshooting on this http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4000
Resetting the sync settings (switched from sync 1 month to sync all) and turning the Reminders icloud sync on & off restored mine. I also noticed beforehand, that all my lists were there and everything was in the "completed" list, which I usually keep hidden. No idea why they were all marked as completed, but they were there.

I have a friend trying to update iOS7 using an ipad mini but during the process there is a message failed to update...whats the best solution for this??

need our help guys...thanks and more power

Apple's servers are being hammered by everyone and his dog trying to get the update the minute it was released. I'd suggest he/she wait a few hours, or perhaps until tomorrow, and then try again.
Regards.

Ios 8.0.2 update failed and forced iPad into recovery mode.

I attempted to download and install the 8.0.2 update to my iPad without using iTunes. At some point during the install, it failed and sent my iPad into recovery mode asking to be plugged into iTunes. I have pugged into iTunes and attempted numerous times to restore the device to factory settings. iTunes will spend a couple hours downloading the update and then fail to install it. One time I got an error code that said "The iPad could not be restored. An unknown error occured (3014)".
My iPad's data is now lost and I can't get it out of it's locked up condition. It's become a very expensive paper weight. Yes, I 'm outside of warranty. But my device's hardware was working perfectly before I tried to install their new software. Does Apple do anything to help?

Hi baleslie,
Thanks for giving the details of the error you are getting. That would frustate me too.
Recovery from the error "3014" is discussed in this article
Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
It primarily sounds like an issue contacting the update server. Please check it out.
Take care,
