IPad crashed after attempting to install iOS 5.1

I attempted to update my iPad to iOS 5.1.  When I did, I got a blue screen.  I can not start my iPad, and it appears to have crashed.  It won't even start up enough to restore.  Any ideas?

I tried that.  The iPad doesn't boot up enough for iTunes to recognize the iPad.  I get an apple for a few seconds, and then the blue screen (sometimes green). The only way I can get the iPad to start/shutdown is to hard boot it too.  Sometimes I get a line through the screen before it goes blue.  The iPad was working great until I attempted the update.

  • Computer crash after attempting to install SP2!!?!

    Hello, I have a question for you all because I've been encountering problems all day with this "service pack 2" that's needed for the iPod touch...when I tried to install it earlier, it crashed my computer (windows XP) and I ended up on the phone with Dell tech support for several hours..ended up having to re-install XP and all this other stuff, but it almost blew out the whole hard drive!
    Anyway, I'm worried that if I try to install the pack again, the same thing will happen...also, I'm worried that if I do get the pack to install, I'm going to have to re-install iTunes (I do have the newest version available now) and I will lose all of my music from my mini. Anyone have suggestions? Thanks ahead of time!

    You will have to force the iPad into recovery mode and data will be lost unless you have a backup.

  • HT204204 My phone crashed after updating it to IOS 8. I can't use it cause its stucked on the start up menu, the apple logo with black background.

    Hi to all,
    I hope someone can help me. My phone crashed after updating it to IOS 8.3. I can't use it cause its stucked on the start up menu, the apple logo with black background. Even when I restart my phone, it is still stuck on the start up menu, the black background with apple logo in the middle.

    Slone,
    I finally decided to turn this annoyance into an opportunity.  After a lot of experimenting I found that my iPad was just fine under 7.1 if I simply restored it as new.  I have a lot of time on my hands and I had 1424 apps on my iPad!  This is why every attempt to restore took so long.
    I decided to restore as new, spend a day restoring the apps I really used.  Doing so gave me a quick iPad with only bout a quarter of the storage used.
    Granted it was a pain in the arse, but I wrote it off as in the old days when you had to do this with windows 95 just to keep a stable system.
    I DO have some data in a few files of the now unused backup but a quick google search finds a couple Mac programs out there that will allow you go extract audio recordings, app data files etc. from the backup.  I'll do that someday if I even miss the files I've probably forgotten that are there.
    Anyway, there was nothing wrong with my hardware.  I think there were just some troublesome setup items that 7.1 didn't like.  Once set up as new, the ipad was fine.
    Good luck!

  • IPhone 4 Stopped Working since attempting to Install iOS 4.2

    Hi, I have attempted to install iOS 4.2 tonight and it seems to have stopped my phone from working.. All i have on the screen is the iTunes icon and an image of the USB cable?
    If i connect my iphone to my laptop it makes a beep (3 times) and then nothing happpens.
    Before i downloaded and tried to install iOS 4.2 my iphone was working as i would expect it to on iTunes 10.
    Can anyone please help me get my phone back and get me updated?
    Thanks guys!
    Steven

    i would not be that hot on windows platform, but i wonder would a restart of your laptop help ?
    did you manage to download the 4.2 file ?
    if so was the phone connected when it was downloading ? its possible itunes has indeed downloaded the 4.2 file but the phone is stuck in recovey mode. if so then you can download tinyumbrella and when you run it there will be an option to kick out of recovery mode. might be worth a try.
    NOTE
    if you run tinyumbrella it may add the gs.apple.com entry to your hosts file, so
    if you use tinyumbrella to boot iphone out of recovery, make sure to disable "edit host file" in advanced options or it'll re-write it each time you launch it and youll have same problem again....
    one other thing, you say you " searched " for the gs.apple.com entry....did you actually open the hosts file in notepad and look ?
    if possible can you post up a screenshot of your hosts file.
    sorry for all the questions but it might give me some clues
    ps
    you could try this courtesy of Leonard.dk on another thread...
    1. connect the dead phone to another pc with itunes turned on
    2. follow the notifications on that itunes
    3. restore the phone
    4. disconnect the phone after the restoration without clicking any buttons of that itunes
    5. connect the phone to my own pc
    6. my own pc can recognize the phone and itunes will try to restore the backup of my phone
    7. restore from the backup on my pc
    8. sync everything (tick all the apps in itunes manually since there is no such button to select all) and reorganize all the apps
    9. after ca. 25 min, the phone is back to the previous sw version

    Hi...
    After I have wait for 30 minutes without do anything, the wifi interface worked.
    I don't know if Apple could fix the issue on their site or the reboot of the Iphone solved the problem.

    I will post the informations after finish the installation.

    How do i install iOS.  5 on my iPad 2, How do i install iOS.  5 on my iPad 2

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Note, this will upgrade the iPad 2 to 6.1.2.

  • The new version of iBooks will not open on my iPad(3gen) after it was installed. Reinstalling makes no difference. It opens then closes right away. Any fix??

    Anybody else have this problem?

    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.)
