My iPad2 will not be restored with iTunes after trying to update to ios8.

My iPad will not update with iOS8 after I chose to update it. Now the screen is frozen with the signal to plug it into iTunes. iTunes says to restore the iPad, which I tried but it didn't go through. I just need to figure out how to get my iPad out of it if it's not going to work. Restarting it doesn't make the screen go away and my services are out of date! Ahh.

Hi mpatevol,
As someone who depends on my iPhone every day, I can understand how frustrating it must be to have an update cause an issue such as this. Let's see if we can get you back up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

    Hey Oynkus,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You state you updated your iMac to OS X 10.8.5.  Did you update iTunes as well?
    If so, you may find the calendar sync options under Info.
    Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad - iTunes Help

    Connect your device to your computer.
    Click the device button, then click Info.
    Select the items you want to sync.

    I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
    By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
    Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

  • HT201210 My itouch screen froze showing "plug to itunes" after trying to update to iOS6. Is there any ways to export all the pictures from it before restoring?

    My itouch screen froze showing "plug to itunes" after trying to update to iOS6. It still can be turned on and off. But the screen froze showing that message. I perhaps need to restore it. But is there any ways to export all the pictures from it before restoring?

    Only if y can get the iPod out of recovery mode with the program. Otherwise you will have to restore via iTunes which erases the iPod.

  • New Ipod touch will not sync up with itunes. No error message, it just doesn't sync

    I just bought a new 32 gb ipod touch and it will not sync up with my itunes. I don't get an error message or anything like that, it just does not sync up. HELP!

    Have you Authorised your Computer...
    Open iTunes and from the Menu Bar select Store...
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

  • Ipod touch will not show up in itunes after update 11.1.14.62

    After updating iTunes to 11.1.14.62 my 3 of my 4 devices will not show up in iTunes.  I have two iPod touch devices, an iPhone 4, and an old iPod Shuffle.  The only one that shows up is the iPod Shuffle.    Everything was fine until this latest update.  I've checked with other people and they're having the same issue.  I have Windows 8.1 64 bit.

    Hello weather1,
    I understand that some of your devices are not recognized by iTunes. The following article may help to resolve your issue:

  • My ipod touch 2g will not sync to my itunes after being restored

    I restored my ipod after it started having some problems where the sound would stop and the volume bar would dissapear like it was connected to a dock.
    I reset all contents and settings from my ipod and restored it in recovery mode on my itunes , i had to do  did this several times because itunes would no let me restore and i kept getting all sorts of errors.
    I finally got it to restore my ipod and update to ios 4.2.1 but itunes only recognized my ipod once and now it wont recognize it at all , i tried with different usb cables and on different computers and  none can recognize my ipod. Can anyone help ? Thanks

    See if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make the iPod visible in iTunes so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:

  • My ipod touch 4g ios 5 will not sync auto with itunes

    I recently downloaded ios 5 to my ipod touch 4g but now it won't auto sync with itunes. I have tried every thing!!

    After reading all the discussions I have decided the fault lies with the new ios 5 and until Apple comes up with a fix I will not resolve it. I also read in these discussions about problems with Audiobooks not showing up as audiobooks in itunes but as music. As an audiobook reader here is what I have discovered: I have an audible.com acct and so far I have noticed no change when I purchase and download a book from that site. The problem comes when I use Overdrive Media which uses DRM and WMA format. These show up in itunes but not in my ipod which means I can only listen to them on my pc or laptop.

  • IPhone 3GS will not fully sync with iTunes 9.2

    Just installed iTunes 9.2 (twice) and I cannot complete a sync of my iPhone 3GS. It seemingly stalls at Contacts or Calendar (varies on each attempt). Prior to this, my syncs would be speedy fast (less than 5 minutes.
    Any ideas of what I can do to fix?
    Thanks in advance

    I was sync'ing fine with iTunes version 9.1.2 and then I allowed Software Update to download and install 9.2.
    Then iTunes downloaded iOS4 and did the install/restore process on the iPhone. Somewhere after that I get the message during the sync process "The iPhone (my name) cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified".
    I deleted all the backups listed in iTunes, I unchecked the Sync box for everything so that the phone is basically empty, no Apps, music, movies.
    It still won't sync.
    Any ideas?

  • My ipod touch will not back up with itunes and allow me to update to newest software

    I am having trouble getting my ipod touch to back up with itunes and allowing me to update to newest suftware.  It has been backing up for over 3 days and the status bar has not moved.

    Terminate the backup. Close iTunes and disconnect the iPod. Reboot the iPod. Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    Error code 3014 question.  iPad 2 (WiFi only, 16GB) went into recover mode.  I am not able to restore from iTunes.  iPad had the latest software & iMac is latest as well.  iPad has very few applications... < 6GB used prior to this.
    Any help.

    Sorry but that was a completely pointless post.

  • In windows 8, Ipod touch suddenly will not sync up with itunes.

    I can see it in Devices on computer. The last time I synced up (in December) it was fine. Went into help in Itunes and followed instructions and restarted computer and no go. Both Ipod and Itunes are on latest update. The Ipod is gen5.

    Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?
