IPad 3 frozen after restoring in iTunes

I'm new to this...less than a month old iPad. It has been frozen for 18 hours after trying to restore in iTunes. I have read discussions and nothing works. Any ideas? Thanks.

Force iPad into 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.

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Without the previous owner's Apple ID and Password, you will not be able to activate the iPad.

  • Home button is not responding on iPAd even after restoring it

    One thing you can try is to reset (reboot) the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart in a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.
    If the Apple logo never appears, you may have a broken button.  If your iPad is less than a year old and still in warranty. Apple should repair or replace it.  If it is convenient, show it to an Apple Store Genius.  Otherwise, look for a nearby Authorized Apple Repair Center.

  • IPad frozen after attempting to restore earlier version

    My iPad is frozen after I tried to restore an earlier version - 20 Dec 2012 - via my laptop. I have used the on/off and centre control together to try and re-boot, but the apple returns and no further action occurs. Connecting it to iTunes via the laptop does not work as it appears the laptop does not read that the iPad is connected. Any suggestions?

    Are you using iTunes to restore it? Were you getting error messages? If so, what were they?

  • Restore from Icould, after restoring from Itunes?

    I just got a replacement Iphone.  When I was restoring it to my settings, It had an option to restore from Itunes, or from Icloud.  I choose Itunes but now that it is restored I realized I should have chosen Icloud, is there a way to re-do this?

    Reset to factory and then do another restore.

    ipod touch still frozen after restore

    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.

  • Completely FROZEN after restoring ??

    My ipod froze and i tried to reset it several times using the menu & select buttons as instructed.
    I also have let the battery die & recharged it fully - it was still frozen.
    I have now RESTORED my ipod which seemed to work fine using the latest updater but the ipod screen is now frozen on the language choice setting. Itunes has let me put all my tunes back onto the ipod but obviously cant check this as its frozen on the language setting stage. It wont allow me to do anything... Please help - DESPERATE NOW !!

    ME too! In order to get rid of the !folder I restored using the Jan10 2006 updater. All seemed to be going well but it sticks on the language screen and no button will work. It is like it is stuck on hold or something. When I reconnect the ipod after doing the flash charge with the AC adapter my PC recognizes the ipod and appears to be downloading songs but again it is stuck on language acreen and all buttons are stuck. Of course it was 2 weeks out of warranty when the thing started malfunctioning. Tried resetting of course-no luck.
    I was using FOXFIRE browser but then used Explorer with the same results it that matters. PLease Help!!

  • Lost all my purchased Apps on iPad Air after restoring

    Hi,
    My iPad just locked itself for some what ever strange reason, and told me to connect it to iTunes. I did so, and it still wouldn't turn on. I tried turning it off and then when turning it on again, I held down the home button (like I was instructed to at Apple Support sites).
    When my iPad then came back on, I had to restore it, and all my apps and notes made in pages, were gone.
    After a little while of trying to figure out how much I had lost (I bought this iPad Air about 1 month ago), I realised it would not connect my apple ID to Apple store.
    Therefore I can not get back any of my previously purchased apps (Pages, Keynote, Visible Body etc)
    I tried to look for them on iTunes to see if they could be synchronised there, but without success.
    Otherwise the iPad is acting a little strange. Before it had a silent icon in the menu you can pull up from below, and now that icon is missing...
    Does anyone know how I can fix this or help me?
    Appreciate all help,
    Kind regards, Sara

    Hi katz2010!
    I have an article for you here that may help you find those apps again:

  • How can I recover my game after I restored my iPad? The game was online so I thought it won't be affected even if I restore my ipad. After restoring, and downloading my game, it started to level 1. Please help. I've been playing that game for about a year

    My game was 'fashion story' and currently level 90. But after I restored my iPad, it went back to level 1. Please please help

    Do you have a backup of the device before you restored it? If you have a backup, try to restore the device from that backup.
    If you don't, I doubt that there's anything anyone here can do for you. Seems as though your save game, (despite being an "online" game) was wiped out with the restore. I'd say the vast majority of online games still do keep your save data on the device and NOT in "the cloud".
    In this case, a backup of the device would have helped you out...it's always wise to backup your device before proceeding with a restore, especially if you plan to restore the device as new.
