My ipad mini 3 has hung during upgrade to IOS8

Hi connected my ipad mini to my laptop to synch and then download the new IOS8.
However, after it finished synching and during re-start the ipad mini has "hung" - it. I see the apple logo and a white bar that looks like its about 90% through the upgrade.
when I look at iTunes my iPad doesn't appear in the side bar....
How can I restart my iPad?
Is it ok to do this?
Help!

Hi NiamhPatterson,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article below provides more information and a resolution for the issue you described, where your iPad mini is displaying an Apple logo with a progress bar below it.

I hope this helps.

TS1398 My new IPad mini has poor wifi reception. Goes in and out. My IPod, IPhone, Ipad1 and Ipad2 work finer. I think it has wifi antenna issues. Does anyone else have this problem?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

Have an iPad mini with latest software upgrade 8.1.2. Verizon Messaging on use after working for 1 yr. deleted app and downloaded fresh app. Same problem. Neither Apple support or Verizon store support could find problem. Sometimes can type txt befor it

Have an iPad mini with latest software upgrade 8.1.2. Verizon Messaging app crashes on use after one year with no problems. I deleted the app and downloaded a clean version. It crashes whether or not I have any apps running in the background. Sometimes I can type part of a message before it crashes. Other times it crashes as soon as I try to use the app at all. Neither Apple Support nor Verizon store staff could find any reason for the problems. Any ideas??
THE TEXT SHOULD SAY THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE APP CRASHING Message was edited by: Steady_RI

Steady_RI, thanks for keeping us posted. Did you uninstall that application by pressing/holding down the icon until the (X) appears? Tap the (X) to delete it. Once the application has been deleted, you will need to reset the network settings on your device in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Power that device off/on and then download the application again. Additionally, we also recommend that you disable Wi-Fi and connect to our network to test the messaging feature again.

Since ios8 my ipad mini has a mind of it's own

I have an iPad mini (14 months old). downloaded the ios8 software on the weekend and since then my iPad is acting on it's own ie
- changing apps
- inserting characters
-creating new web pages
- at one stage I couldn't log in as when I entered a 4 for example it highlighted a 7 or sometimes three &'s
Phoned apple who told me to reinstall the software by linking to itunes. Backed the data up and did a full restore.
The iPad behaved for less than 24hrs and has started it's tricks again.
Very frustrated and how typical I am 2 months out of the warranty period.
Can someone offer some sound advice please.
Thanks

Probably you would not want to restore it from a backup, but set it up as a new device. You can re-download your iTunes purchases (apps, music, movies, etc.), and then manually set up your email, iCloud, etc. But it may be something on the backup itself that is the issue. So, restoring from a backup would just put you in the same boat.
Also, I think a trip to the Apple Store with both devices would be a good idea. They may be able to sort it right away. Sometimes it's easier to effectively troubleshoot an issue when you have a device in front of you.
Any chance you have any 3rd party apps (apps not from the App Store) on the device? These could also cause issues.

If iPad mini has the basic iPad 2 hardware, why can't use Siri on iPad 2?

If iPad mini has the basic iPad 2 hardware, why can't use Siri on iPad 2?

Wrong on all counts. Well except for the A5 post.
The 3rd Generation iPad and iPhone 4s both have an Audience chipset for noise suppression/voice recognition that the iPad 2 et. al. do not have. The iPhone 5, 5th Generation iPod Touch, 4th Generation iPad and iPad Mini are using a different type of hardware based noise suppression/voice recognition that is an improvement over the Audience chipset (hope you didn't have Audience stock).

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.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Ipad mini is hung

Hello
My Ipad mini is hung on an application, and I cant do or change anything. What do I do?

Try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. About 20 seconds or so. See if you can get it to reboot and clear up the stuck app

IPad mini has a dark line down middle of screen?

Restoring or resetting wont work. take it to the apple store to have it looked at

My ipada mini has over heated and its not starting

What do you mean by 'frozen' ? Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to work ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My ipad mini has many emails which say 'no content' and are not deletable. What are they are how do I delete them?

My ipad mini has many emails which say they have no content and I cannot delete them. The emails do not show up on my MacBook Air. What are they and how do I get rid of them?

Close the mail app and reset the iPad. Closing apps instructions are for iOS 7. If you're not running iOS 7, I assume that you know how to close apps in iOS 5 or 6. If you don't know how to close apps, just reset the iPad.
To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
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 Mini has started zooming and opening apps on its own

Ipad Mini has started zooming in and out and opening apps on its own. I have gotten back to factory settings and it is still happening. Help!!

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
* No data is lost due to a reset

Ipad mini has disabled!!!

my sons ipad mini has disabled. the screen went black as he was playing on it and wouldnt turn off. I managed to turn it off by pressing the sleep and home buttons together for 10 seconds and now it wont turn back on. I have plugged it in to charge to see if that makes any difference but it just keeps beeping while it is plugged in. please please help as this was a christmas present off his dad and i really dont want to have to tell him that my son broke it!!!!!

Looks like the computer is restoring your iPad.
Suggest you do not disconnnect iPad until computer say that the sync is completed.
After that try to reset by press the Sleep and Home button until you see the Apple Logo.
There is a possibility that there's a problem with your iPad screen.
