Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes

Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes to do a restore. I have tried to do a reset using the sleep button and home key and all I get is a white band across the screen and then it boots into the main system but it is just a series of white lines going across the screen, how can I do a restore on this?

Hey dbwithers,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPad after attempting to update to iOS 8. To isolate these issues, let’s try placing your iPad in recovery mode and attempting a restore with iTunes:

My ipad air touchscreen has stopped working to touch

My ipad air touchscreen has stopped working and so i can't shut down, or login. How can i resolve this?

Have you tried to give it a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 secones. If you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and see if your touchscreen is working.

My iPad's(bought from USA)built-in mic has stopped working & I'm in Egypt

3 months ago I was in the US when I bought an iPad2 and it was working just fantastic then I returned back to my home country Egypt and all was still great then all of a sudden after conducting a firmware update the built-in mic has just stopped functioning normally and has started to record 95% loud static + %sound if I SCREAM into the opening (very low). After searching the forums I could see that this has happened to many others .. but they all simply went to the local apple store and replaced it .. there is no apple store in Egypt as far as I know, only apple resellers. I would like to know who to contact to get this problem handled and my iPad2 either replaced or fixed. Thank you.

http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/contact/
I suggest to start there at the link i put and you'll have a few options. Down a little bit after you see the U.S number you'll see a link for other country numbers use the one you need and call them directly for the best help.

Mic has stopped working after iOS 7 upgrade ?

After the upgrade to iOS7 the microphone on my ipad has mysteriously stopped working. Any fixes?

I had the same problem and i found the solution here, its ridiculous but it solves it
iOS 7 now requires applications to specifically request access to the microphone, and a new “Microphone” section under the Privacy controls allow users to view a list of those apps that have requested access and toggle the access on and off for each app, similar to how other the other privacy options work.

My mic has stopped working, what can i do?

I don't know if it loose or broken from being dropped but i suddenly stopped working, I can't hear anyone from incoming or outcoming calls and they can't hear me, when i ring someone i can't even hear the dial tone or it calling, but when i put my headset in and mess about with it and push against it, it started to work slightly but not much, but i can hear my music through the headset.
what can it be and what can i do???

i would try to restore the device as new then if that doesnt work apple can replace it for nothing if under the warranty if not it is 149$

IPads spotlight search has stopped working

I have updated to ios5 and the spotlight search was working under ios5 at first but it has suddenly stopped. I can type a word in the search bar but then nothing happens. I have tried a reboot (holding down the home and sleep buttons) and ensured that all the search categories are checked in settings.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

i have the same problem! its very frustrating! Ive done all i can do to fix it, including turning the ipad 2 off, doing a hard reset (rebooting) multiple times, turning off and on all the categories in the spotlight settings menu, and get nothing in return.
After each reboot, spotlight returns some results for your first search, but then, if you want to search for a second thing, were back at the beginning, meaning, no search results at all. So, if i want to find something using spotlight, i have to turn off the ipad all the way, and then after it starts, use that single chance that i get after it wakes up to search for something. The second time, it just doesnt show anything anymore.
Suggestions? I have a 32 gig ipad 2, and this started happening after i upgraded to ios5, if that helps.
Theres no troubleshooting for something like this in the ipad 2 manual....

Hello, my iPad's power button has stopped working. Does anyone have a solution as to how I can make it work again

Please help. My iPads power button has stopped working. I cannot take it to sleep mode or switch it off

Try a reset even though the Sleep/Wake button is not woring.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

My microphone has stopped working on my ipad 2 16GB 3G. How do I get it to start working again?

I am not sure when it happened but my microphone has stopped working on my ipad 2. I downloaded an application from the App Store called Starmaker for my daughter. When she tried to follow the start up instructions, she could not make a demo recording as there is no sound.
My daughter and I have used the recording/sound facility before as, when away from, I have used Skype and my daughter has used the talking animal apps.
I have tried a hard reset and tried to clear the microphone by blowing on it and using the hoover attachment to clear it but unfortunately there has been no difference.
I would be grateful for any advice you have to clear this problem, so I can have the full use of my ipad again.
Thank you.

If you have a passcode on the device and you don't know it, then thats another issue. For that, the ipad will need to be restored. This may or may not also resolve your mic issue.
You didn't say wether or not the mic fails with just this one app, or with facetime and skype as well.
Try this audio recording app if needed to test further

I'd stay away from using anything like a vaccuum on the ipad, but clean air might work
Try backing up the ipad to both icloud and itunes first.

After backing up your ipad, then try restoring it, first set up as a 'new' device.

I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working. But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures. Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working. But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures. Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

When in iTunes on the computer,my our ipadmshould show under devices.
Click on your ipadmunder devices then go to music at top center of the iTunes window, check what you want to sync for music. You need to set it to a folder if I remember which would have your music in it you want synced.
Same with PDF files.....there should be an option for data or even PDF files at the top center area of iTunes when the iPad is clicked under devices.
If your iPad does not show or you cannot click on it under devices which is in the leftane of iTunes, the iPad is not being seen by the computer.
Try unplugging the USB cord from the laptop then give it a few and see if the computer picks it up.

My iPad 2 home button has stopped working I have tried the swivel from landscape to portrait whilst holding the button, I have tried holding the off button then the home button and I was told I could create my own home button in the settings but I can't!

My iPad 2 home button has stopped working all together, I have tried the swivel from landscape to portrait whilst holding the home button, I've tried pressing the off switch then pressing the home button, the other thing I was advised to do was create a home button in the settings under the accessibility option but I don't have the option I was advised to use under there! Help! It's really frustrating having to turn the device off everytim I want to switch apps and I really can't afford to send it away to be mended! Many thanks in advance

The accessibilty setting that was mentioned is:
* Enable AssistiveTouch
Enable AssistiveTouch which floats a virtual button on-screen which can mimic all hardware buttons on the device:
Settings>General>Accessibility>AssistiveTouch: turn ON
*Note* If you power off the device using the AssistiveTouch panel (tap the on-screen AssistiveTouch button, Device>Lock Screen (tap and hold to power off)), you will NOT be able to power on the device *if your Sleep/Wake (power) button is not functioning*. You will need to connect the powered off device either to a PC's USB port or an external charger to power the device back on.

A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working. When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem.

A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working. When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem, and this magazine's app opens just fine on my wife's iPad.
I have deleted the app and reinstalled it from the Apple store and that makes no difference. I have also done a hard reboot on my iPad with no result.
Any thoughts about what might be wrong?

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

ITunes has stopped working when syncing iPad Air.

Please: someone help me....
I am at my wits ends. I have spent 3 days trying to solve this, without any success. I have really time better off than sorting stupid software problems. (Someone had a great rant, so I won't rehearse it - but it seems to me that
if there is an issues, it should at least give some clear of what the software stops!!). It seems to me that no one (NO ONE) is owning this problem There are plenty of people who have the problem, and although some suggestions, it looks to me that
there are just that - suggestions.
I have posted my problem on the Apple forum. I have not heard. But it seems to me that we (I) don't even know if it is an iTunes or a Windows problem. and now I have no idea which way to go....
Rant two ends. The problem:
I have windows 7 SP 1. iTunes 12.0.1.26. I can imports CDs and play music. But when attempting to sync,"iTunes has stopped working". It stops (usually) step 6. No doubt many of people have seen the issue. I problem have
not attempting to update since updating iTunes 12. (On the side, I have not been able to update iTunes without deleting and reinstalling it for some. Accordingly, I update with some concern, and only updated to 12 because I installed a new (different
laptop), and wanted to keep the same levels.
The steps I tried
Sync iPad Air (iOS 8.1). Failed.
Tried to sync iPhone 5S. It stopped. I then looked through the apps etc in the phone. I noticed, that my photos were not being synced (I had an issue with memory issue some months ago - now sorted - and so checked resynced them.
Tried again, and worked. Hmmm. (iPhone is at iOS 8.1)
Made changes with the apps etc on the iPad to recreate the same good result. No success.
I deleted iTunes etc (in the correct order) and reinstalled. No success. tried a number of times. (one of the definitions stupid is to try the same steps expecting a different result)
Searched google, apple and microsoft pages. Read them all. No one seems to have a clear answer to the problem, let alone the solution.
Backed up iPad, and restored iPad. No success - and now, of course the thing is now in a totally uncertain state. It won't ask for sync, but if iTunes starts, the iPad carries on.
Deleted and reinstalled iTunes etc. No success. Tried again (and again? - I have lost track)
Someone suggested going back to iTunes 11.4. Tried that (once sorted out the library files have been changed). Now, same result. (it all worked happily previously)
Tried a hard reset on the iPad. No luck
Discovered one post suggest that QuickTime may be a problem. Deleted iTunes and Quick Time. Reinstalled iTunes. No success.
Discovered turingtest's post "Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows" . Followed the steps, including deleting the folders (only Program Files (x86)/common files/apple were there) and turned off AVG. Same bad result.
Status:
I am thoroughly out of sorts. And it is Tax time, which will not improve my temper.
iTunes 12.0.1.26 installed. iCloud installed
windows 7 SP1. The PC is not asking for any updates.
Qucktime not installed
iOS 8.1.2
iPad is probably useless, until problem solved - not all photos or apps downloaded
HELP!!
iPad Air, iOS 8.1.2, Windows 7

Try Googling "sync without iTunes".
There are free alternatives and there are not so free alternatives.
Btw, to check if AVG is causing the problem, you should uninstall AVG and not just "turn it off".
Also, can you describe how you go about uninstalling a program? For example, how did you "delete" iTunes?

"itunes has stopped working" after connecting ipad mini to computer Windows 7

itunes can play 2 out of 10 movies already on my computer. Otherwise, when I start to play the other movies, I get the notice itunes has stopped working etc.
Quicktime Player VERSION 7.7.4 can get to the Apple Store and order a movie. But when I insert my Ipad mini, itunes IMMEDIATELY "itunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I reinstalled lastest itunes 11.1.3 after uninstalling it, and placed it not on the C Drive, which is pretty full but on another drive. I use ImTooiTransferPlatinum to put muisc onto my ipad mini, not itunes.

also when I open itunes in safemode (using shift+ctrl), it works normally...
