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:

On the other hand, if you are getting a specific error code when you attempt to restore, then this article may be more useful:

  • HT4623 Ipad air cannot start after ios update

    Hi, my I pad air switched off and cannot turn back on after i accepted the install of the latest ios  version. can anyone help to switch the ipad air on .

    Did you try resetting the iPad?
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • IPad 2 battery drain after iOS 5.0.1 update!!!

    iPad 2 battery is draining way too fast after the 5.0.1 update - I've lost over 10% just browsing the apple site over wifi for about 10 minutes - with no other apps running. NOT ACCEPTABLE APPLE!!!
    Same issue with my iPhone 4 that went from 62% when I went to bed last night to completely dead this morning - unused!!
    Apple - roll 5.0 back out to replace this battery leech. I need to be able to actually USE my products.

    Same issue here! I've been reading on my fully-charged iPad and the battery is down to 78%. Never did this before the latest update. Yesterday, iPad quit before my usual evening reading!  Any solutions!
    I have personally seen the problem and corrected it on numerous models now including the 4S, 4, 3GS and iPad 2s.  Corrupt system level settings created by an iOS 5 bug in the original release that caused battery recalibration issues, etc.  Just installing the update does not fix the issue in most cases (sometime it initially can be worse).  You need to clear out those settings and recalibate the battery.  For those still having the "standby battery drain" issue follow the procedure below in order.  It does fix the problem in most cases.
    Go through these steps to address the battery after updating to iOS 5.0.1:
    1. Reset all settings (settings app-> general-> reset)
    2. Go through initial setup steps (lang, wifi, siri, enable location, etc) and choose setup as new phone (don't worry your apps, data, contacts, mail will still be there). At this point, Do NOT restore from iCloud or iTunes (It can copy back corrupt settings)
    3. Turn off system location services timezone and iAd
    4. Fully discharge battery  (tilll it shuts off with the spinning wheel)
    5. Fully recharge battery (overnight if possible)
    In my experience this improves the Standby battery drain issue significantly in most cases.  It reduces drain from 2-4% or more per hr to 0.5% or less. It has worked for many, many users now. If it does not work after a few try's you may have a real battery or hardware issue and should contact Apple.  Good Luck!

  • My iPad Air  is lagging after ios 7.1 update

    I noticed that the animations of opening and closing apps take longer than they did previously before update. I also seem to have the same issue with my iPhone 5, too! I thought the whole point of the update was to speed up my devices with the newer operating system, but alas, no.

    iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad
    http://appletoolbox.com/2012/07/ipad-running-slow-how-to-speed-up-a-slow-ipad/
    If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • IPad 2 iBooks unresponsive after iOS 8.1.1 update

    After updating to iOS 8.1.1 on my iPad 2 this morning, iBooks fails to launch properly. It seems to freeze with a blank screen (no Library), then the iPad goes back to my home screen. Double-pressing the Home button shows my iBooks Library window, but when I switch to it iBooks is completely unresponsive.  I have shut down and restarted my iPad, but the same thing happens.
    Any suggestions?

    Owner of an iPad 2 here with iOS 8.1.1. It sounds like the iBooks app has been corrupted somehow, as it works fine on my tablet.
    Did you upgrade from iOS 7 to iOS 8 on the iPad over the air? The reason I ask, and this applies to ANY operating system, is that garbage from an older version can be carried through into the newer version giving exactly the kind of problems you describe. I would recommend that for any new major release of an OS to scrub the device and set it up as a new machine. This is a short-term P.I.T.A. but it does help preempt these kinds of niggles.
    In your case let's try the non-drastic approach first: if you can, uninstall the iBook app and then reinstall it via the App store. This usually fixes minor annoyances, but if the iPad persistently misbehaves, nuking it via iTunes might be your best bet. Backup your stuff before you do that, though.

  • Can't sync iPad mini with iTunes after iOS 8

    iPad is just junk after iOS 8. I was  going to purchase a Mac book air this week, but now I don't know. can someone help me?
    I have tried re syncing several times. i backed up my iPad. The music synced, but most  photos & iBooks haven't. They are in my iTunes i just can't get to them.
    thanks,
    eileen

    Waiting for items to copy generally means there's some corrupted file that's gumming up the works. Often if you be patient and just let it sit and let iTunes do its thing, often it resolves itself.
    I had an issue with the music on my iPod. It took me about half an hour waiting and it resolved itself.
    Or you can try to sync your photos and books a few at a time and see if you can find the file that there's an issue with.

    My iPad Air is disabled after wrongpassword attempts.I didn't sync it with my laptop also. How can I restore it with out losing the data.

    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.

  • IPAD 2 NO SIM AFTER  IOS 6 UPDATE

    IPAD 2 NO SIM AFTER  IOS 6 UPDATE

    Ditto here. Updated to IOS6 and now my SIM isn't being recognised. Did a factory reset, got a new sim but still not recognising it. Phoned apple - cant downgrade. Disappointing as my Ipad2 worked perfectly until the upgrade.  Apple can you please sort this out? or is it some hardware in the Ipad2 that has made it incompatible?
    If anyone finds a solution please let me know.  I'm going to pop into the apple store and see what they have to say. I'm just outside my warranty but I've looked after the ipad2 really well and now it seems to have let me down.

  • HT201210 My iphone 4 crashed after iOS 7.1.1 update

    My iphone 4 (7.1) crashed after iOS 7.1.1 update. iTunes is unable to recover it. Has anyone encountered similar issues?

    Hello Rajesh,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with you iPhone repeatedly becoming unresponsive.
    I recommend following these steps for an issue like this (you can skip 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing):
    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.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:
