IPad Air totally unresponsive after 7.0.6 download

I plugged the iPad air into my computer and iTunes recognized it, then I downloaded the 7.0.6 update. The update then gave an error message and aborted. Now my iPad won't turn on, and iTunes does not recognize it. Neither does my computer (windows 7, doesn't show up under "My Computer" anymore). I've updated both Windows and iTunes, but no luck. I've followed all the steps in both http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 with no luck. The iPad displays the apple logo and then that connect to iTunes screen and nothing else. Shutting it off with home and sleep buttons does nothing. Plugging it into the computer does nothing. Now what?

Unfortunately your iPad is in recovery mode now and the only way to get it to work is to restore it using recovery mode and that will totally erase the device.
If you have a backup, you can restore from the backup after the device is up and running again. Worst case scenario, you can download most of your purchased content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID that was used to make the purchases.
I don't know what else to suggest other than to use another computer or try various cables, and USB ports on your computer. If you have a friend or family member that is running iTunes on their computer, you might be able to restore the iPad using theirs. If that isn't possible, make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them to restore it for you.

You can't unlock it without losing data. It's too late for that now. You totally erase the iPad when you unlock it and you will have to start all over again. Most of your purchased content can be downloaded again.

Hi RWD2,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
To resolve your issue with Facetime freezing when you end a call, I would try the first three steps in the article below.

If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.

HT4623 I bought a brand new ipad air, but I am not allowed to download ie. pages and keynotes for free, as promised?

I bought a brand new ipad air, but I am not allowed to download ie. pages and keynotes for free, as promised?

The free only counts for devices activated after September. So first you need to activate the iPad (go through all the set up stuff), then, using the same Apple ID you used to activate the iPad, go to the App store and search for Pages, etc. When you download them you should see them for free.
Being free is tied to the Apple ID used to activate a device. For example, I bought my iPod in June, so I'd need to pay for the apps, which is why they're not universally free in the app store.
After you activate the iPad it may take a little time for the app store to realize 'yeah, just got a new device, this purchase is free'. I've seen people say they go right in, see it for cost, then go back in a little bit and the apps are now free.

I'm trying to download some purchased TV shows to my iPad Air. I keep getting the dreaded Download Error Tap to Retry Message. I've signed out of iTunes and back in. I've updated my software. I have plenty of room for them on the Air. Help?

I'm trying to download some purchased TV shows to my iPad Air. I keep getting the dreaded Download Error Tap to Retry Message. I've signed out of iTunes and back in. I've updated my software. I have plenty of room for them on the Air. We are taking a long flight this week, and I wanted to have something new to watch. I've read through lots of threads on this but I can't seem to find a good solution that I haven't tried.
If I can get them to download them on my iMac computer, can I then transfer them to my iPad? How is this done? (Please pardon an older lady's ignorance, and thank you for any assistance!)

Hi norlowski,
Do you already have the Kindle app downloaded to an iPhone or another iPad? Do you have "Automatic Downloads" turned on under Settings>iTunes & App Store for Apps on your iPad?
You might want to try touching and holding the Kindle App option in your Purchased list, and when it highlights, let go, and it will go to a a detail page for the app with another "Open" option on it. See if it will open from there.
If you do have Automatic Downloads turned on on the iPad, turn it off, and then go back to purchased to see if the Kindle is still showing as "Open".
Post back with results!
Cheers,
GB

My iPad Air is useless after iOS 7.1.2 update

I was updating my iOS to the new version 7.1.2, in my iPad air, and after while the screen changed to the iTunes icon in the center with the connector to plug in. I did the connection to my iTunes, followed the instructions, and a message pops up informing that my iPad could not be recovered. What I can do?
I already did this several times: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.

Hi BrLion,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the message your are getting. If you are able to connect your iPad to iTunes but are getting an error or alert message when you try to restore, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275
On the other hand, if you are getting a specific error code when you attempt to restore, then this article may be more useful:

IPad mini initially unresponsive after turning on?

My iPad mini is consistently unresponsive after I first turn it on from shut down. It opens to the lock screen, but I can't type my password.
I found that pushing the power button 4 times (two cycles of turning off the screen, then again to turn on the screen) will solve the problem, but it's really frustrating each time I turn on my iPad. Has anyone else experienced this?
I am presently still running the last version of iOS 6. Would updating to iOS 7 fix this? I have concerns about significantly decreased battery life with the new OS. Any advice or comments would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Kelly

Running iOS 7 has not significantly decreased my battery times from what I was getting in iOS 6, but there is no question that what I was getting in iOS 5 and comparing that to what I get now, there is about one hour's difference. I used to easily get 10 hours in iOS 5 and that gradually decreased with every update in iOS 6 and has continued to decrease a little bit in iOS 7, but I still get 8-1/2 - 9 hours out of a full charge.
As for the weird unresponsive screen issue, have you rebooted the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen?
Tried resetting all settings! Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. If you do this you will have to enter all device settings again, but no data will be lost.

Can't backup iPad air on iCloud after upgrade to iOS8 - no "backup now" button

Hi all, after upgrading 2 ipad air's to iOS8, I can't back them up, or restore for that matter. Going into the iCloud->storage->manage storage menu I can't find any backup or restore buttons anywhere.
anyone else have this problem?

With iOS 8 the backup button has been moved, it's now in the list of options on the Settings > iCloud screen (iCloud Drive, Photos, Mail, Contacts etc - Backup is the third last option on that list)
