Ipad won't start; trying to restore thru itunes, but get the message - can't restore because ipad is not set up. It was set up and has been in use for about a year. What do I do now?

I Have seen people report this issue when they try to sync their devices but in never seen it when trying to restore an unresponsive iPad. I would sguggest trying recovery mode now.

This procedure will totally erase the iPad so I hope that you have a backup that you can restore from....assuming that it works, that is.

My ipad won't start up. I downloaded iTunes on my pc while my iPad was charging - could this have caused the problem? I don't want to restore to factory settings and lose data. Any ideas or solutions? Thanks, Linda

FYI, your iPad will charge much faster if you plug it directly into an electrical outlet.
When doing the reset, as Jackkcc suggests, make sure you let go of both buttons fairly promptly after the apple image appears, then wait another 10 seconds or so for the iPad to start up. Note that a reset does not alter any data or settings.

IPad won't start.

Touch pad is not working and I cannot reset ipad. What can I do?

This morning my ipad won't start. No response at all. Have tried all the tricks mentioned on this site (various combination of holding the buttons for a long time), but no response.
Connected to the usual PC with itunes, and I can see and hear a reaction from the PC, but I get the message "Device driver not successfully installed".
Pressing the buttons while connected to the PC obviously makes some kind of reaction (connect/disconnect sound from the PC), but still the ipad will not wake up.
Have charged it for hours.
Any suggestions?

Try recovery mode as described here.
Note you may have to try to enter recovery mode more than one time to succeed.

Ipad won't synch after restore

I have noticed that the only way to address my wifi issues on my iPad, is to do a reset of all settings and then restore from a backup through iTunes. So when I tried to do that last time, the first part, the restore of the iPad works fine, but after automatIc restart, when iTunes is supposed to put all the media and apps back on my iPad, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPad as a restored one, and instead says welcome to your new iPad again.
All software is updated, I have tried multiple times, restarted my computer etc. Very frustrating since now I have an iPad without all my apps and media, and which iTunes won't recognize.
Anyone have any tips? Thx.

Thanks,
so hat so what is happening is that after the initial restore and restart, it should start synching and putting all apps and media on there. However, in this case, that second part doesn't happen, iTunes still says 'welcome to your new iPad'. When I click restore from backup that second time, same thing happens, it does a restore in about 10 mins, but then never synchs. When I unplug it, it has all my settings but just the 'basic/apple' apps (mail, safari, messages). When I plug it back in, it treads it like a new iPad, and want to restore from a backup.
I feel a little bit like the movie 'Groundhog Day', stuck in the same circle. I have done many iPhone or iPad restore but never had this problem.

Ipod touch won't start after restore

Ipod touch 3rd Generation- battery was completely dead after sitting for a week or so. I charged it but couldn't get it to turn on. Went into recovery mode, connected it to the computer and re-loaded everything, but when restore is done, the IPOD still won't start or display in itunes.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipad won't start after updating to ios 8.1.3

My iPad was working without issue prior to updating to IOS 8.1.3 yesterday. After updating, not only would the ipad not start, it produced intermittent tones. The tone heard when device is plugged into an outlet for charging.
I attempted to turn the device off but it would not respond. Afterwards, a reboot was attempted numerous times by holding the home and sleep buttons down simultaneously. Once the Apple logo appeared the buttons were released, the logo disappeared but the device remained dormant.
While connected to iTunes and emitting the connection tones, periodically the splash screen would appear momentarily then turn off. I was able to swipe the screen on one of these occasions. The device worked properly until it was turned off after use at which time it would not turn on again and remains unable to turn on. It does not respond to attempts to turn it off or rebooting.
Prior to the update I did backup the device in case something like this would occur. Since I appear to have exhausted all my options to get the device to work, I feel the only remaining option is to restore it to factory default. I would appreciate advice from anyone who may either have experienced this same issue and found a resolution, or can provide thoughts on how I should proceed please.
If I proceed with a restore to factory default followed by a restore of the most recent backup, will I lose any data during this process? This will be my first time to erase a device so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I would, of course, prefer an alternative resolution. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, Tony.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your iPad no long starts after an update and you have a backup for your iPad. It sounds like you will need to restore the device to factory and then will have the option to access your backup after the restore complete. The only information that should be missing would be after the backup was completed until the device is restored. I have included the steps for going through this process in the articles below.

My ipad won't start, help?

Help....original iPad, 16 gig, won't start. Tried re-start (holding home and power buttons for 30 secs) won't come on. Fully charged. Perimeter of screen shows some light, nothing else. PLEASE HELP!!
P.

Try a reset:
1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together)
2. For about 10 seconds
3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
4. Ignore the red slider

Ipad won't start up after installing an update. Shows itunes icon with cord from the side.

ipad won'tstaart up after installing an update. Shows, itune icon and cord going tothe side. Cant make it do anything else.

That means that you have to restore the de ice using iTunes on a computer. There is nothing else that you can do to fix it now and you cannot back it up now either. Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes and restore the iPad.
IF you don't have a computer, find someone that has one running iTunes or go to an Apple Store and ask them to restore it for you.

My ipad won't start up. it's less than 1 year old. I've tried plugging it in and pressing the start button. the apple logo appears but then disappears and nothing else happens.

My IPad shut down this afternoon and now it won't start up. It's less than 1 year old. I tried plugging it in and pressing the on/off button. After holding the button in for several seconds, the Apple icon appears, but then disappears.

First, try this:
Plug it in to the wall using an Apple charger and Apple cable for several hours. The idea is to fully charge it.
Then hold the home and on/off buttons together for about 10 seconds. Hopefully the Apple logo will appear and it will start. Do not release the buttons until you see the Apple logo.
If it starts, great. If not, you say your iPad is less than a year old. If you bought it brand new from an Apple Store or Authorized Apple vendor, it is under warranty. Take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Center for diagnosis and repair.

IPod won't start after restore

When I got a new iPod touch 4G, I tried to restore it from a previous backup that I had on my computer. Unfortunately when the iPod was finished restoring, it wouldn't start up! All I got was the screen frozen at the Apple logo with an empty loading bar. I've tried everything from a hard reset, to moving the backup, but it just won't work. When it was synced to my computer (the only time it actually read the device without having to put it in recovery mode), it showed that it had all of the data on it on the summary page. However, the data was not broken up into music, apps, photos, videos, etc. It was only listed as other. I really don't want to lose my data, so I was wondering if there's any way to get the iPod to start with the backup still on it. I had restored to factory settings, and it worked fine, but I'd hate to lose two years worth of data. Neither the computer nor iTunes detected a corrupted file, and a computer system scan did not show anything either, so I'm not sure what the problem is. This has been going on for about a month, and any help would be truly appreciated.

IPad won't start up after attempting to reset it with Cydia on it.

I put Cydia on my iPad 2 (iOS 8.2) then I wanted to take it off as I got paranoid but after I tried to reset my iPad by pressing the home and lock buttons until it went off, now it won't come on. It is a blank screen with the Apple and a progress bar at the bottom but it doesn't show any progress. It's just one shade of grey. I did try to reset it using my iTunes. Got to the Summary page of the iPad and the other pages like Music and Apps etc was there on iTunes but nothing further on the iPad. Same screen as mentioned earlier.
Help!

Use Google and find out how to put your iPad into DFU mode (nice videos are available on YouTube) then Restore it in iTunes you will be able to use it again.

IMacs won't start after restore

I have a lab of 40 iMacs with different accounts and permissions for each class I teach. At the end of each term I restore all the Macs from one Mac that I keep clean and updated just the way I want it. This way I can start clean. The process has worked well until this term. With the new upgrade, I have a few computers that won't restart after a restore. I've tried again and they seem to be restored using disk restore, but stall out on a screen with an Apple. I get no clock like spin. A few have worked the second time.
I've checked the drive with disk utility on the CD/DVD and there seems to be no disk problem. Running permissions of the cd/dvd just hangs up.
Any help will be appreciated.

The Finder won't tell you the status of the clock batteries unless they are completely drained. Partially drained batteries can cause misbehavior like this. You have to open the computer up and remove the clock battery and test it with a battery tester to see they aren't partially drained.
