IPad stuck in boot cycle

Hi
My iPad will boot, show the boot text then the apple logo and then gets stuck in the same cycle. I have tried to hold the home button as I connect the cable to it as per the recovery instructions.
Can you help
Thanks.

Hi sspencer18,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that when you turn on your iPad it shows the Apple logo and does not progress past that. I think you are on the right track trying to restore the iPad with iTunes. There are some specific steps to get the iPad into recovery mode though. Make sure the iPad is turned completely off before you hold the home button and connect to iTunes. Please use the following article for reference.

I hope this helps,

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    This may not give you any more information, but you might try booting into "verbose" mode

     You might want to try a hard reset before anything else:

  • Ipad 2 gets stuck in a boot cycle

    2 weeks ago, i left my ipad 2 to go to bed. when i woke up, the device had turned itself off. it was about 90% charged before i went to bed. upon attempting to turn it back on in the morning, the apple logo screen was reached and then some white text similar to cmd text appeared on the side of the screen. The text said something about NAND driver, memory= 0 and some other things i didnt catch. the device then restarted and got to the same screen again, before continuing to restart and display that screen.
    I attempted to restore the ipad via itunes (latest version) in restore mode and DFU mode. Each time i got the error 1611. Reading the error codes, i uninstalled my antivirus and itunes and reinstalled itunes. i then ran itunes in windows 7 compatibility mode as administrator. I still got the error.
    I took the device to my friends house who tried to restore it, in restore mode in a usb 2.0 port but got the error 1613 i think. After this we tried restore mode and DFU mode in a 3.0 port. these both failed and gave error 21. looking at this code, we then used DFU mode in the 2.0 port and the device restored and updated from ios 5.3 to 6.1.2.
    the device has worked fine for 2 weeks up until today when midway through a game, it turned off and i get stuck in the same boot cycle again.
    what could be wrong with it and what can be done? the device is refurbished and within its 1 year warranty.

    I just can't think of any other software fixes that might work since you have done everything imaginable and recommended by Apple - at least to the best of my knowledge.
    There is one sort of off the wall thing that you can try, but frankly, I don't think that it will make any difference at all. I have read here in the forum to let the iPad battery totally drain until it shuts off, recharge the battery for about a half an hour, and then try restoring again. I don't know if this is an urban legend, or if it really works. I don't see what difference that would make anyway other than you would be restoring the software after letting the battery drain.
    You have restored the iOS and downloaded it again using DFU mode and that hasn't worked. My assumption would be that there has to be some hardware issue going on. A faulty connection inside the device, a bad chip.... Something non software related.

  • IPad won't boot. Not stuck on logo. Can anyone help?

    The apple logo appears for 5 seconds then disappears. Then does this cycle over and over again. Only when plugged into the wall though. When plugged into a laptop nothing appears and screen is black. I tried a restore and it gave me an error so it did not work. What else can I do?

    Hi there,
    Unfortunately it sounds like you might have what is called a bricked or "nuked" BlackBerry.  There are ways to fix this, but it can take a couple of extra steps.
    Start off by downloading the OS from your carrier to your computer.  You can find your carrier's BlackBerry download site here: http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp.  Once you've downloaded the OS for your device, install it to your computer.
    Next, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\Apploader and open the Loader.exe file (note: if you have a 32-bit OS, there will not be an (x86) after Program Files).  Click Next to go to the Communication Port Selection page.  Now here is where you need to watch carefully and be on the ball to ensure it works.
    Take your battery out of the your BlackBerry and plug your device into your computer.  As soon as you see USB-PIN:UNKNOWN in the connection spot, click Next.  If you miss it, don't worry, just unplug the device and plug it back in again to start the boot cycle again.  Once you've made it to the next page, you should be good to go to reload the OS.  At this point in time, you can also reinsert the battery. 
    Then just follow the steps to reload the OS and you should be set.  As a warning though, if you have not recently backed up your device, there is a chance that you may lose the data on the device. 
    Good luck and let us know if you have any other questions.

  • IPhone 4 stuck in restart cycle?

    My iPhone 4 is stuck in the cycle of turning itself on, displaying the apple logo screen, then the home screen, and turning itself off and repeating. The battery charging sign appears next to the battery logo for the brief seconds the home screen ppears, but the device remains at 1% despite hours of charging. I've followed other advice about restoring the device and holding down the home and lock buttons to reset, but this has had no effect. Please help if you know anything that could fix this issue.

    Well somehow, I was miraculously able to get my phone into DFU mode by connecting the phone to the computer and holding down the home button. I kept holding down the home button for about 5 minutes, hoping and praying, and bing! iTunes on the computer detected the iPhone 4S in recovery mode! I swiftly downloaded iOS 8 to take advantage of this miracle, already accepting that I had lost all my data from the past three months, but it was to no avail. The phone began to install the update after extraction, but the phone froze with a thin blue line across the screen and reset itself back to DFU mode. iTunes said that there was an error (9) and that the update had failed. I tried again, failed. And again, failed. Rang Apple support and went through the tedious process of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, creating a new administrator account on my PC, disabling system services and only allowing Apple to boot on start up, even to the extreme of sharing my screen to the apple support tech guy. Last resort was trying a different PC, but that failed too and they confirmed that it was most likely a hardware issue (this was after 4 hours of testing and waiting on hold on the phone, mind you) I was put through to a head officer at the support centre and I've now been booked into my closest Apple retail store so that my phone can get a check over for physical damage or unauthorised modification (of which there is none because my phone is in absolute pristine condition). I'm hoping that they can give me a replacement without cost, but that is unlikely...

  • Blackberry Z10 stuck at boot screen

    Some hours ago, after receiving a call and tried to save the number, my Z10 went off and did not come back on. I did the hard reset and when i fixed the battery back in, in the boot screen, when showing the loading logo, the visibility slowly vanishes till it vanishes completely. Sometimes, it would get stuck in the blackberry screen. Its stays this way for some minutes and then restarts and gets back to the same state again... I have tried leaving it plugged to the charger and pulling out the battery and that did not work. I have also tried reloading the software through Blackberry link, after downloading the update and tries extracting the software, it fails at that point because the phone restarts on its own. Please whats can i do about this??

    Hello,
    You should attempt the use of an AutoLoader:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
    Sometimes those can succeed at reloading your BB10 OS where other methods fail. You might have to try multiple times, leaving your BB connected to your PC and attempting things at different stages of the booting cycle....hopefully the AutoLoader can connect to the BootROM and cause the loading process to begin.
    Good luck!

  • HT201412 My iPad will not boot up, has a think logo running but will not start. Any ideas?

    My Ipad will not boot up, has a think logo running all the time...any ideas. Also had trouble upgrading to ios.6 the computer is not the original one I synved my ipas too. It started OK then failed. Now it will not connect at all to computer...comes up with an error.!!!

    Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer. Hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release Power button, keep holding Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually about 20 seconds time. Restore iPhone Firmware.

  • My HP Pavailion 15-n020tu Stuck at Booting in Windows 8.1 Pro when I enable Hyper-V?

    Hi,
    I'm using HP Pavailion 15-n020tu Stuck at Booting in Windows 8.1 Pro when I enable Hyper-V. And I have to enable Hyper-V to test my Windows Phone Apps in MS Visual Studio? Mty friend Dell Laptop does not facing this problem with same configuration which I have. Then why me are facing this problem?
    Help Me?
     I tried on Windows 8 Pro but again same problem. 
    So many things I tried updating Windows, Updating drivers but failed.

    Hello @Vikas_Kumawat80,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! 
    I understand that you are looking to enable Virtualization on your notebook computer, and I would be happy to be of assistance!
    While I do not have any experience with Virtualization, I do recommend taking a look at this resource on How to Enable and Use Client Hyper-V, as well as Run virtual machines on Windows 8.1 with Client Hyper‑V. I am not certain if this processor has hardware virtualization support, it appears that Windows 8.1 pro and enterprise may have built in capabilities.
    If you require further assistance on this, you might have to contact Microsoft on the topic.
    I hope this helps!

  • HT4623 My phone is stuck on booting screen!

    When i remotely updated my phone , It restarted it and it was stuck on the booting screen. I pluged it into my computer , And it gave me the option to restore , So I just tried to restart it again and it was stuck in booting screen so i decided better to restore my phone than have a brick , So I plugged it back in to my computer and my computer dosent recognize my phone at all. What can I do?

    I was able to fix it by putting my phone in DFU mode by holding the sleep button for 4 seconds , and without realeasing the sleep button holding them both for 12 seconds and then without releasing the home button letting go of the sleep button and holding for 10 seconds or until my computer saw it (My phone was plugged in the entire time)

  • IPad doesn't boot!! Apple logo freeze!!

    Hello,
    I've received one iPad that has been used by one of my Staff Directors. Now this iPad is going to be used by another person, so like ever I've reseted all the content (data, configuration, etc), but now the iPad doesn't boot and it is all the time showing the apple logo (it seems that the reset was fine, at least the process bar arrived to completed it and the iPad rebooted itself).
    My Macbook PRO doesn't recognize the iPad when I am connecting it by USB cable, I've tried to hard reset as well with the same result: iPad is freeze booting with the apple logo.
    So I can't connect the iPad to my Mac, so my iTunes can't recover the iPad, with the hard reset I obtain the same result...
    What can I do? Could you help me, please?
    Thanks in advance,
    Best regards

    First try to do a reboot, hold down sleep button until you see the slide to turn off screen. Do that, the hold down sleep button until you see apple logo pops up. If that does not work, then...
    Google "put iPad in recovery mode". This should allow you to connect it to iTunes, which should ask if you want to restore your iPad. After that, you may be asked if you want to restore from back up. Say NO, since you want a clean slate.
