IPad 2 crash post iOS 6.01 update attempt

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me restore my iPad. It’s an iPad 2 that I tried to update to iOS 6.01 yesterday. I clicked the update in general settings and then let it run in the background whilst also downloading the TED app, which I subsequently ran (I seriously doubt this is relevant, but on the off chance there is some conflict with the TED app that causes the iPad to die 20 seconds after opening it I thought I better include it). Shortly afterward, the iPad just suffered a complete crash , restarted and stalled at the ‘connect to itues’ screen.
I then plugged it into the macbook pro to connect to itunes, and itunes didn’t recognise it, telling me it had to restore it. I tried and it attempted to download an 806 meg update (which was written in as being iOS 6.01, which I assume is the total file size, but on the ipad itself it was around 46 megs - is that because it only changes the differences between the prior version perhaps?). iTunes got about 600 megs into the download and then stalled and then the ipad disconnected itself, so I switched it off, cancelled the download and then restarted it in the downloads section of iTunes without connecting the iPad until it finished.
I then began again, turning the iPad back on and then trying to restore it. This time, after the initial prompts about losing data etc, it just stalled at “preparing ipad for update” (or words to that effect) and wouldn’t budge. I looked up at these forums and it seems that this is generally a result of conflicts with anti-virus software, but my mac is barely used and has no such software. The only other advice I seem to get is to send it to the genius bar. I will if need be, but it just seems so unnecessary for what seems such a bizarre crash stemming from such a banal and low-load task.
If someone could please help I'd really appreciate it. I’m pretty computer literate and think with a reasonable enough step by step walk through I should be able to do this myself.
Also, if an Apple tech help person is here to solve this for me, can you please explain what could have caused this crash? Thank you.

Can't get icloud to restore after crash from ios 8.1 update, says server not avaible, any suggestions?

Had ipad2 crash during ios 8.1 update, tried different things to make it work, ended up booting as new. Tried on a couple different days to restore from clould and it says server not avaible, would love to get the info back, any suggestions?

Can someone tell me the implications of using the command RESET DATABASE on my system days after I did the open reset logs? I opened the database with the ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS in SQL not RMAN and I see the below note.....
Re: Can't get dataguard to recover after SAN crash.
To reset the incarnation of the target database in the RMAN repository, which means to do either of the following actions:
•Inform RMAN that the SQL statement ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS has been executed and that a new incarnation of the target database has been created. Note that if you run the RMAN command ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS (not the SQL statement with the same keywords), then RMAN resets the target database automatically so that you do not have to run RESET DATABASE. By resetting the database, RMAN considers the new incarnation as the current incarnation of the database.

IPad doesn't load, constantly restarts, and doesn't restore after iOS 8.1 update attempt.

Hello all.
I have an iPad Air 16gb with 4g Verizon Card. My iPad was working perfect until I attempted to update to iOS 8.1. It went through the normal update routine but when it restarted that's where all my problems began. It would go almost to where the iOS would kick on but I got the Apple blue screen of death for about 2 seconds and then it would restart. It's been going through these motions ever since never going into iOS. After doing some research, I finally found out how to emergency restore the iPad by turning it off and turning it back on holding the home button until the itunes/lightning plug symbols come on the screen. Plugged it into my computer, loaded itunes, and attempted to restore. I downloaded a fresh iOS 8.1 update and the iPad would turn off and turn back on with the update bar below the apple symbol. After the bar appeared, the bar remained unchanged so nothing even loaded. Then a few minutes later, I received "itunes could not connect to this iphone. an unknown error occured (0xE8000084)." and then got the "iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (4013)." Not really sure why it's saying iPhone either. I tried this three times getting the same result. I just tried restarting the computer and doing it again and yet I get the same result. Does anyone have any clue why this is happening and how to fix this? This is very frustrating because I'm in the military stationed in Italy but I'm about 3 hours away from the nearest Apple store and, not to imply anything, but they may not even speak English and having to take the train risking nothing getting solved. Any other ideas or help would be appreciated.

Hi rsa12985,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know that errors with iTunes errors and issues with your iPad not turning on can both be very frustrating and concerning. In this situation, with the unknown error 4013, I would suggest following the steps located in the attached article.

Wifi and cellular dropping out on iPad air after iOS 8.02 update

Hi
I have recently updated my iPad air to 8.02 and ended up getting problems with wifi and cellular data being very sporadic at best. Took it to the Genius Bar and they replaced it thinking it was a hardware problem. Turns out it is not as it updated again and it is once again sporadic. I tend to find turning it off helps temporarily but always cuts out and needs to be put into airplane mode to reset the connection. Is anyone else having this problem....this is the 3 rd time I have tried to post this as it has cut out and the connection has been lost each time.
I did speak to a customer service advisor over the phone and she thought it may have been wifi and cellular competing but I have turned mobile data off and it is as bad as ever if not worse.

This is getting ridiculous. How long does it take to properly fix this issue. I have ipad air running IOS 8.02. I keep dropping wifi signal regularly throughout the day. I have tried everything to try and improve my connection but nothing has worked. Other products not running IOS 8.20 have a perfect sustained connection to my wifi so the firmware is definitely the issue. When are apple going to acknowledge and fix this issue that is affecting so many.
Roll on June because I'm done with Apple once and for all after many many years. No more iphone for me. Hopefully then I can receive calls without them going straight to voicemail, recieve texts quicker than an 8 hour delay and get voicemails quicker than 2 weeks later. Complete shambles and very poor customer service. Goodness only knows what those who rely on their phone/ipad for work are doing.

IPad Mini after iOS 8.3 update causes iPhoto 11 repeats

After upgrading both iPhone 5S and iPad Mini to iOS 8.3 I sync them to my Mac Pro 1.1 Lion there is a peculiar repeat of iPhoto 11 continually trying to load photos.
It counts the quantity then the iPad or iPhone dismounts. It remounts and it starts again. I shut the iPhoto down and restarted the app. It continues to do it. I will rebooting the Mac Pro and try it.
Heads for of you still running Mac Pro 1.1 with Lion.

You can preform a DFU restore.
Follow my steps:
- power down your iPad
- Hold down the home button and don't let go
- Plug the iPad to your computer
- Do not let go the home button
- ITunes will prompt you that the iPad is recovery stage
- Restore your iPad
You should be all set and updated issue free.
Cheers!

No cellular on iPad 2 after iOS 8.1 update

Lost cellular capability after updating iPad 2 to iOS 8.0, then 8.0.2. Have now Reset, Restored and Updated iPad to iOS 8.1 but still no cellular, only wi-fi. This problem has only occurred since since iOS 8.x. Is there a fix for this?

Hi,
I had the same problem for the past 24 hours.
I found the below advice resolved my problem completely.
Basically, rebooted mbp, restored iPad from previous back up = iPad 3 back to normal.
Phew...that was a tad frightening !
Hope it helps you....
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
Kind regards,

Accessibility zoom crashes since ios 8.2 update

I'm visually impaired and so I use the zoom feature for most of my experiences with ios devices. it is the main reason I converted to Aplple products. No other company that I've seen, has a zoom feature that allows me to zoom in on apps that don't support the pinch zoom. I have loved Apple since I converted.
UNFORTUNATELY! Apple tried to fix something that wasn't broken. Since updating my ipad 2 to ios 8.2 the zoom feature sporadically freezes. I'll be stuck where I'm zoomed in at and cannot move the screen around nor can I use the home button to return to the main screen nor will the power button allow me to turn the device off nor any other function. I HAVE TRIED tapping all combinatins of fingers in different intervals and yada yada yada. The only thing I've found to get me out of the mess is to do a hard power off with the power button and the home button. This can be very frustrating if I am working on something important or if I have to do it multiple times in one sittig.
At first I just attributed it to updating my old ipad 2 to an ios that it really can't handle UNTIL it happened to my iphone 6 plus (side note: larger screen a HUGE "plus" for those of us who use the zoom feature. Thank you Apple). If the 6 plus can't handke the zoom then there has to be something wrong with the updated zoom software.
IT happens in a variety of apps so perhaps its a compatibility issue . It happens a lot while using the Youtube app.
Is there a tweak or a fix I can do to solve this issue? Do Apple developers monitor this forum or is this just a place for costumers to gripe? How do I report this issue to Apple so that it can be fixed in ios 8.2x ?

I have the exact same issue, but on the new iPad and it's still not fixed in 8.3.
If anyone knows something I'd like to know too.

Safari constantly crashing since iOS 7.03 update

Since the iOS 7.03 update Safari crashes bringing up web pages or scrolling through webpages. It crashes so often that it is unusable. It was perfectly fine prior to the iOS 7.03 update. Is anyone else having this or a similar problem and any ideas on how to fix this?
The memory is cleared out.

Try Settings > Safari > Clear History and Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data.
If this doesn't work try restarting your iPhone:
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPhone shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
If no help try resetting your iPhone:
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
If no help try Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
If you still have problems restore the iOS 7 software using iTunes on your computer.

Post ios 4.3 update, Missing Music, Cannot Sync 13019 Error

I have an iPod Touch 64G, running 4.3.1 the problem dates to the first ios 4.3 update) and iTunes 10.2.1 on a Windows 7 PC.
Ever since I updated my iPod to ios 4.3, I have been unable to access my music from my iPod. Once I plug in my iPod to one of my computers I can see my entire library in iTunes and can play songs from the computer (the songs are only on the iPod and not saved on that particular computer). As the song starts to play, my iPod attempts to synchronize, but then I get the 13019 error. When I look for the songs on my iPod, the screen says I have no music.
I have tried the language switch and music fixes listed here
http://osxdaily.com/2010/11/24/fix-for-no-content-on-iphone-ipod-after-ios-4-2-1 -update/
as well as deleting my sole voice memo (another suggested fix in the forums) all to no avail.
The original sync'd computer (running XP) is temporarily out of commission until I replace a part. I have two other laptops (Windows 7 and Vista) which I'm using to access the music on my iPod. I would like to be able to access my music on my iPod without having to plug it in to a computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for replying. I have tried those techniques. I have deleted my voice memos . However because my sync settings are on manual I can't deselect the auto sync music option. I was able to sync my apps with this computer, but trying to sync Books leads to the same error.

IPhone 5 constant crashing after iOS 8.0 Update and Factory Reset!!

So...thanks Apple! You completely bricked my phone with the most recent update.
Status since 9/17....
* Performed iOS 8.0 update via iTunes on my iPhone 5.
* No issues whatsoever until Saturday 9/20 around 5pm
* Phone starts reseting incessantly about every 5-10 minutes.
* Performed hard reset. No luck.
* Uninstalled apps since update. No luck.
* Noticed upon some crashes the screen goes totally janky (maybe graphics chip failure?)
* This morning decided to run full factory reset, hoping all would be fixed.
* Resetting issues start almost immediately and are continuing.
I'm not too excited about going into the Apple store given all the iOS 8.0 issues and fan-boys buying the newest 6 (holding out for 6s if possible).
Has anyone else out there had a similar experience?
Thank you in advance,

SO, the constant reboots have stopped, but now have significant charging issues.
* % charge doesn't increase on multiple different charging cables
* hard reset doesn't solve

Try this first - 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.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

IPad Air Apps keep crashing after iOS 7.1 Update

Hi, I just upgraded to ios 7.1 on my ipad air. Everything was working fine before the update. But after, everytime I try to open any app, it attempts to start, but then immediately crashes. Even when I download an app from the app store, it still crashes. I have tried everything (restart, reset, hard reset, etc.) and I can't think of anything else to do but replace it which I don't want to do.

Hello jscott1997,
It sounds like all your apps are closing when you open them, even new apps are doing the same thing. I recommend starting by closing all the open apps on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
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 and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If it persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
And restore it from your backup with the steps in the following article. These steps will erase, and re install the iOS software, so that when you restore from the back up it is not restoring on top of the previous iOS installation:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
To start troubleshooting this issue, please go ahead and first force close all of the apps currently running on the device, and then reset it by following the steps in the articles below.

How can I get the volume to work on my ipad after the iOS 7.02 update?

The performance of my ipad plummeted after the iOS 7 and 7.0.2 updates. The apps crash and some do not work at all and worst of all, my volume does not work at all. Is there a way I can at least get the volume to work?
I was planning on purchasing a MacBook Pro but with all these issues I am reconsidering.

I have tried changing the volume both by using the volume buttons on the side and through settings. I have updated all the apps. Closed and reopened a million times hoping it was just a one time deal but I have had continuous problems since the update on my ipad.
I love the update on my iphone but for some reason the ipad did not adjust well. I really would like to get it fixed because I love my ipad but there is no use when the apps an volume do not work.

IPad unresponsive after iOS 8.02 update, doesn't show up in iTunes, hardware reset (home and standby buttons both held down for ten seconds) not working

I have a 32GB iPad mini that was purchased new in June of this year. A little while ago, I started the iOS 8.02 download while it was plugged into a wall socket using an official apple wall to USB plug and an official apple thunderbolt cable. I then left for 25 minutes to get some food.
On coming back, I discovered the iPad with a black screen showing the apple logo. I thought this was just an ordinary part of the update, it was restarting or something after installation, so I thought nothing of it. Then, after another minute or two, the screen flashed blue and then went completely black.
Puzzled, I waited for another second and the apple logo reappeared as if the iPad was restarting again. However, after a few minutes, this happened again. This has been going on for the last half an hour, and I was wondering has anybody experienced this before.
As I stated in the title, it won't show up in iTunes, and the hardware reset or whatever it's called doesn't work. Also, bear in mind I had issues syncing it with iTunes the night before and it also seemed to crash a few times last night, restarting the iPad and bringing it to the blank screen with the apple logo for a few seconds before going to the lock screen. That didn't happen at all this morning though.
The iPad is not jailbroken, however, it does have licenses for gba4iOS, which is still installed on it, and a VPN license installed on it by the Hola app, which I deleted but never bothered deleting the license for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Colin how are you?
I updated my IPAD yesterday and have the exact same problem.
Itunes does not recognize my ipad. Home and standby also doesnt work.
Also have the blue thing every few minutes and the apple logo but it never goes beyond it.
Have you solved the issue?
