IPad Mini frozen on iTunes logo

To clarify my previous post, my (first) iPad Mini is frozen on the iTunes logo.  I had previous synced with my PC to do a backup, without a problem, but accidentally disconnected it.  My iPad screen froze.  I cannot turn it off as the Sleep Bar does not appear.  The Home button doesn't work.  I have tried reconnecting the iPad to my PC but iTunes does NOT recognize that it is attached. I only have IOS 7 and didn't have the space to upload Version 8.  I have just bought a new iPad Mini 3 with plenty of memory (64G) but want to keep the first one for my Grandson.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Normally, a device reset should be tried as it *may* alleviate the issue...but to do so requires a working Home button, which you state does NOT work on the device. I'll post the instructions regardless...maybe you can accomplish it by pressing the Home button in just the right way (whichever way that might be) while doing the reset. Try numerous ways...
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
If no luck, I'd suggest making a Genius Bar reservation for a free evaluation of what the issue may be if you have an Apple Store near you. Maybe they can knock some sense back into the device.

You'll need an Apple ID to make a reservation.

  • Ipad frozen with itunes logo. reset did not work. reinstall itunes on win xp did not work

    ipad frozen with itunes logo displayed. Tried reset both ways. reinstalled itunes on Win XP all without success. Any hint?
    Thanks

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Just want to be able to listen to iTunes on my iPad "wirelessly"

    Yay!
    I discovered this lovely little forum entry that solved my problem!
    (Remember this is for Windows, I'm not sure if the same will work for Mac)
    This is what you do:
    1: Have iTunes up and plug in your iPod.
    2: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons down until the iPod shuts down.
    3: When the screen is blank, release the Sleep/Wake and just hold the Home button down for about 15 seconds.
    4: After then, iTunes will recognize an I iPod in Recovery Mode.
    5: That's when iTunes will ask you to Update/Restore your iPod.
    I'm pretty sure those are the steps.
    (If anything is wrong, can someone fix it, please?)
    But that really does work.
    The writer said that his iPod was "stuck on the apple screen, and not going anywhere after that."
    That was my issue, so hopefully this will work for you!

    Ipad mini cycles from apple logo to start screen and wont stop. Will not shutdown. Cycles every 5-8 seconds. Thanks!

    I'm having the same problem.  Since it's the same problem, I thought I'd pigtail on this thread, rather than clutter up the forum with a duplicate.  I can start a new thread if this is not appropriate.
    I have tried a reset, using the sleep/wake and home buttons, with no success.  I have also restored to factory settings, then restored to backup.  It's still rebooting itself.

    This problem started today.  I updated to 7.1.1 soon after the update was released.

  • I updated my itunes for my ipad while connected to my computer.  now my ipad shows only the itunes logo, an arrow, and a usb cord.  it is frozen and nothing works, HELP!

    I updated my itunes for my Ipad while connected to my computer.  Now my ipad is frozen on an iTunes logo, an arrow, and a usb cord.  Nothing seems to fix it.  What can I do.  All my business calander, etc is stored on my Ipad.  HELP!

    I don't fully understand what the System Reset does but I've found that it cures many ills.  It's easy, quick and harmless:
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
    A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
