IPad 2 bricked after installing iOS7

I installed iOS 7, and it worked fine for a day. Then suddenly my iPad crashed, and went into a loop where the Apple logo would appear and then it would try to load. So I put it into recovery mode and plugged it into my computer to restore it. It would start installing and then I would get an error message that said "iTunes could not connect to the iPad because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter the passcode on the iPad before it can be used with iTunes."
I can't put the passcode in because I can't get passed the Apple logo. I also didn't have iCloud installed, so I can't recover it that way. Is there anyway to fix this? Do I have to send it in to Apple? Please help I need this for school!

Not good when you are 100 miles from the Apple Store. iPad said it was time to update the thing. Pushed the button and next morning it is locked up. Cannot get the restore to work because I only have an apple on the screen. Cannot enter the code. No fun.

Reseting all configurations, cause i don´t want to lose any infos and I don´t know exactly what im going to lose.
Any suggestions? Thank you!

After installing ios7 my ipad keyboard is very slow for texting, emailing and entering passcode. very slow

after installing ios7 on my ipad the keyboard is very slow, delayed. text, email and passcode.

Hi Knackerman, I was racking my brain trying to think how I did this and then I remembered that at the time because of other problems I was having with my iPad and it was under extended warranty, they offered to replace it for me.
When I went to collect new one they asked if I wanted the to download iOS7 and they replied, NO, I did not, well that was enough for me and I told them to please leave it as is.
I just ignore all the reminders I receive to download iOS7 on my phone and iPad.
I am very happy with my 6 version.
I am very sorry I am unable to help, I know how you feel, I hated it, it caused so many glitches to my otherwise perfect iPad before instalment.
Overall though, I think Apple has to shake itself up, they are getting left behind in the Samsung wake.

Any chance I can recover the photos and other things on iPad after installing iOS7

After installing iOS7, my photos, all apps/games had gone. I can see the photos from a data recovery programme but couldn't recover them. Any chance that I can restore the previous version and recover all the data?
I didn't back up as I have changed laptop recently too, so the last back up time was long time ago.

I updated on iPad. As I had new laptop, so I didn't back up anything on the new laptop, the old one was long time ago, so photos taken recenlty had all gone. I can see the photos from a data recovery programme (trial) but is there any way to recover them without buying the programme?

After installing iOS7 update ipad sought passcode disabled restore dead! Now what?

After installing iOS7 update my ipad magically wanted a passcode to open. I tried several of my usual passwords but none worked and it disabled for increasing lengths of time. Eventually after reading up a bit about it I strated to restore it to factory settings but was interupted your this process and was unable to complete it fully (to be honest I'm not keen to do this anyway as I don't want to lose all my data - photos, and fail to see why I should simply becasue of a bug in iOS7). Now my ipad is totally dead and will not respond to anything. What can I do now?

It is still not working. I have had Apple support on the phone twice as each time I get through the restore process it comes up with an unexplained error (3194) which they keep telling me is because I have a firewall preventing it from happening. This is wrong because I have removed the firewall and it still comes up with the error message and will not restore. I now have to take it to the guys I have had look at my computers from time to time to sort it out (presumabley at my cost). If and or when it gets to the point to restore, yes I can restore from iCloud an should get all my data ok but I shouldn't really have to go through all this drama as the iPad is only very new and still under all of it's warranties etc Completely unimpressed with this whole thing.

IPad 2 won't connect to iTunes after installing iOS7

After installing iOS7 wirelessly, the connect to iTunes logo pops up. I'm currently just using my iPad as a web browser/e-book reader so I really have no care to what happens to any of my music and apps so I didn't back it up. Also, my current laptop doesn't have iTunes on it since my brother and I swapped laptops because I had to reinstall Lion on my Mac, so I had to donwload and install iTunes.
I tried the sleep/wake + home shut down and holding the home button after connecting to the usb and it still doesn't work. Then I tired running diagnostics, it said that it can't connect to the internet (eventhough here the ef I am) and there are no USB ports (eventhough here I am effing using my working usb wireless mouse).

Hello LaGeas,

Try to reset the device:

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.

During the update, you must have entered a 4 digit passcode. You must use the same 4 digit to unlock.
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

My Wifi connection on my ipad has slowed since installing IOS7?

I've tried all the reset options; 'forget' wifi connection, airplane mode, reset (network and all settings), then turn off airplane mode and reconnect wifi. No resultThe other option I've been offered is to change settings on my router. Unfortunately, that's impossible if my Safari search engine won't work because of the weak wifi connection so I can't access the router through my browser. Incidentally, my iphone 5 and MacBook are experiencing no such problems and the problem only began on my ipad after installing ios7. So is it not time for Apple to get their finger out and solve this anomaly?

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. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
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 drooping 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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
