IPad 2 no longer works after iOS 6 update was interrupted

I have an iPad 2, of which I chose to update through settings>general>software update. I hit install and after the progress bar filled up the screen turned off. I panicked thinking it shut off so I held the power button. Now the iPad loads the Apple logo for 15 seconds and turns the display off and repeats this cycle infinitly. I put the device into recovery mode and it had the iTunes logo, I plugged it into the computer and I then clicked restore, it then asked to restore and update, however after it claims to extract the software it then displays an error message saying "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build." How will I ever manage to fix this? Someone, please help!

Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • Voice memo on iPhone 4 no longer works after iOS 6 update.

    Since updating to iOS 6, voice memo no longer works.  It kills itself upon launch.  If it doesn't do it automatically, it does it once I hit any of the buttons in it (i.e. record).  I've tried hard reset and regular restart.  Haven't tried restoring because I noticed it on my way to work.
    Anyone else have this problem? 

    I went to Apple and they helped me restore my phone to see if that would solve the problem and it did.  Essentially restoring wipes your phone and you start from scratch.  I was able to "restore from backup" and so I didn't lose anything. 

  • IPad will no longer sync after iOS 5 update

    I updated my Original iPad to iOS 5 and now it no longer syncs; it stays stuck at the preparing to backup step. This happens whether I try it via WiFi or via the standard way with the cable.
    I'm thinking I should do a Restore from Backup and get it back to iOS 4.3.5.

    I've been stymied at this backup failure (and thus sync and update since both go through the backup process first) for a long time, ever since release 4.3.3 or thereabouts.
    Stay with me, please; this was part of my recent troubleshooting process.  I tried using the new install of Safari and sure enough, it only loaded blank pages.  iTunes (new release) Help also loaded only blank pages and then reported "computer not connected to the internet".
    In seeking a resolution to the Safari connection issue, I came across this advice from Mike41: "If anyone runs across my post of 7/21/2011 regarding Safari 5.1 not connecting to the Internet on my Windows Vista system, BorisKon suggested I run a command prompt window as administrator and execute the command "netsh winsock reset" (then be sure to reboot). I tried this and now Safari 5.1 can access the Internet. See the discussion athttps://discussions.apple.com/message/15734035#15734035. I had to reboot for the command to take effect. "
    I did this on my system and now Safari, iTunes, and the iPad backup all function 100%.
    Start/Run/"cmd" without quotes.
    Type "netsh winsock reset" without quotes.
    Reboot the computer.
    Happy, happy, joy, joy...

  • HT6154 rear camera on iphone 5 not working after ios 8 update why?

    My iPhone 5 rear camera is no longer working after ios 8 update its just black I can see the flash choice the hdr and the timer but other than that it is a black screen

    Hi there fjci2003,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch 
    You see a closed lens or black screen
    If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

    iPad app no long works after upgrading to iOS 7.1.1

    Did you try deleting then reinstalling the app?  Sometimes developers will need to update their apps for compatibility.  If it still doesn't work after reinstalling, wait a few days to see if an app update becomes available.

  • Imessaging doesnt work after iOs 6 update, can't send or recieve messages. it isnt the wifi since everything else is working. have tried every solution possible. help?!

    imessaging on ipod touch doesnt work after iOs 6 update, can't send or recieve messages. it isnt the wifi since everything else is working. have tried every solution possible. help?!

    Short of a reset to factory settings I've found making sure iMessaging is not left minimised helps. It doesn't seem to keep its connection. So, by closing after each use this helps. I've been doing this since I logged out of iMessaging at least 1/2 doz times and even changed my apple id pw as this had ceased to be recognised. I get fewer send failures now and don't have an inactive send button so much. Having said this its all a bit of a work around as iMessaging isn't behaving as it once did. If over time not resolved will do factory reset. All the best.

  • Apogee Jam No longer working after 1.1 update?

    My apogee jam is no longer working after updating to Garageband 1.1. I have an Ipad 2 with firmware 4.3.3.
    Specifically what happens is:
    1. I open the garageband app
    2. I select the guitar amp
    3. I plug the Jam chord into Ipad (guitar is already connected to cord)
    4. Jam light goes green, blue, bright green then green
    When Jam light goes bright green, the monitor button in garageband goes dim and doesn't work.
    I've tried plugging my guitar in first, then starting garageband, no difference in results.
    I have tried turning the monitor "on" prior to pluging in the jam, when I do this the monitor/sound gate window stays open until the Jam bright green goes on, then it disappears and the monitor button goes dim.
    Outside the garageband app, the ipad does recognize the Jam in settings, general.
    What's worse (for me...) is that I backed up the Ipad in itunes thinking that app data would also be backed up (as I read that in a description of backup). I then deleted garageband from the ipad and then restored it from itunes. Guess what, lost all my songs... Bummed out... Why wouldn't my songs be backed up???
    Anyway, any ideas on the Jam issue would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping I am just overlooking a setting?

    Unfortunately, I don't believe that Apple keeps prior versions of Apps available at the store. GB was the first app I purchased there day one of my Ipad, incredibly worth the $, and I did actually look to see if you could go back legitimately.This is just one of the many reasons to JBreak your devices, so that you can go backward if you need to. This is a perfect example of why Apple should make prior versions available, but they think they know it all and never make mistakes, so that will never happen. Again, this is why folks take things into their own hands and why the scene exists. There are plenty of abuses, more than not IMO, but here is a perfect example of how people are screwed and can't use their Jams any longer without a JBroken device. They obviously know that this issue exists, they have employees on these forums. It will be months if ever they fix this issue, because the number of owners of Jam, although in the thousands, is small potatoes compared to the Apple owner universe. I believe it will only be fixed if Apogee is able to put enough pressure on Apple. If you see the Jam removed from the Apple store and GB site you know that Apple is choosing not to fix it, because they won't sell or promote it directly and then have to deal with complaints and returns. But even this will happen slowly...
    Actually it occurs to me that Apogee may have to redesign the Jam AGAIN in order to get it working with 1.1 on Ipad 2 and Iphone 4s (devices with the newer processor). I wonder if they will recall or replace the Jams for people who now have Jams not compatible with Garageband. Again, Apple should be posting a warning for Jam owners on the Garageband download page, but that will never happen because Apple doesn't care about small potatoes.
