Updated iOS5.0.1 and iPad doesn't open at all

I updated my iPad with the new iOS5 version and after the loading image and the apple icon, it hasn't opened since. I tried opening it from the start button, but it won't react at all. I plugged it into my MacBook and opened iTunes and said that iPad is in recovery mode and I must restore it before I can use it in iTunes. The iPad has been ' dead' for more than an hour now...
Any advice, please?!

Even this Section...
If iPad won't turn on, or the display stops responding
iPad Reset
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time...
Wait for the Apple logo to appear on the screen. Usually takes about 10-15 seconds, but can take longer... - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons when the Apple logo appears.
iPad Restore
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. When the red slider appears, release the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue to press and hold the Home button for a further six seconds.

Hello John...
You may have a Safari third party add on installed that was compatible with the previous version of Safari but not 5.1. Try troubleshooting > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
FYI... this is a user to user forum. If you can't resolve the issue, information for contacting AppleCare here.

IChat doesn't open at all after update

So I've been reading all the posts about the problems with the video part of iChat not working after the update... but my iChat doesn't open at all. It says iChat in the top bar (Next to the apple) But nothing happens. The buddy list doesn't pop up and all the options under the pull down menus are gray and unclickable. (haha, not sure if thats a word, but we'll work with it ;] ). Anyways, if anyone has any idea how I can go about fixing that, that would be awesome.
Thanks!

If the iChat menu does not give you access to Log a Screen Name in to the AIM servers and the Window Menu does not list any Account/Screen Name then work through this FAQ

ITunes new version doesn't open at all. Gives error message

I downloaded 7.4.3 version of iTunes and it doesn't open at all. Gives error message. "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close."
I have previous version of iTunes in my spare HD, in the same computer, and it works perfectly fine.
I have unistalled and re-installed again and again many times including with the help of Apple Support help in the phone and came up with no clues of what's going on.
How can I get a previous version of iTunes to download to my PC? I have looking for a place on Apple's website where I could probably have my issue resolved, but I found nothing.
Thank you.

Thanks to Jim Zack, the problem is solved.

Can I update my brothers iPhone and iPad to ios5 from my computer or can he only update from his own computer that he currently uses to sync

Can I update my brothers iPhone and iPad to ios5 from my computer or can he only update from his own computer that he currently uses to sync?
Thanks joanlvh

You can update it on your computer, but then when he syncs it to his own it will say this iphone is already synced with another itunes account bla bla and will ask you if you want to sync it with this account. It will wipe anything you put on it using your own itunes account. BUT it wont wipe off the new iOS5

Mine is doing the exact same thing. 12 updates and I cannot select any of them for the past week.

Updated my ipad yesterday and today can't connect to the internet by wifi or cellular. Have tried on 2 different wifi routers, one by Verizon and another by Comcast. updated 2 iphone 5S and ipad mini today and all 3 work fine. Any suggestions?

Updated ipad yesterday to 7.0.6 and now can't connect to internet. Tried cellular, Verizon and Comcast. Updated 2 iphone 5S and ipad mini today and all work fine. Any suggestions?

Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?
If "No," first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

You can't update the original iPad beyond iOS 5.1.1 so if you were already running that version, there was no reason to wipe the iPad to try to update.
Won't work at all, doesn't tell me the whole story. Does it power up but not respond to anything? Does it not power up at all? Some detailed information in context would really be helpful.
IF the device will not start up, try a reset. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.

I would like to be able to download updates for my Iphone and Ipad on my work computer but my home computer has all of my music on Itunes. How do i downlaod updates at work without deleting all of the music which is stored on my home computer/Itunes?

I would like to be able to download software updates on my Iphone and Ipad at work without erasing my music. My home computer/Itunes has all of my music saved. is there a way to use two computers w/o erasing information? Or can i transfer the music from my Iphone to my work computer?

- An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. Yu can however manage music and videos among different computers by:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
- To change syncing computer, move all the media to compute r#2
- Connect the iPod to #2 and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note tha the iPod backup the iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?

Can anyone help with this?
Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad? Did it on icloud cause have duplicates on ipad and iphone also

Check icloud.com to be sure you contact list is correct there. If it is, just go to Settings>iCloud on your device and turn Contacts to On to sync the contacts to your device. If contacts are already set to On and you still see duplicates, you may be viewing a duplicate contact group in addition to the iCloud contacts. Open Contacts, tap Groups, then tap any groups other than iCloud to uncheck them, then tap Done. See if the duplicates are still there.

Trying to update my software (iPhone and iPad) it says my iTunes software needs to be updated, but it is already is. I try this over and over again. I've already reinstalled iTunes and have shut down and restarted my Mac several times. How can I fix this?

Trying to update my software (iPhone and iPad) it says my iTunes software needs to be updated, but it is already is. I try this over and over again. I've already reinstalled iTunes and have shut down and restarted my Mac several times. How can I fix this?

This is what worked:
"In iTunes, I signed out of the store. I exited itunes and restarted it, logged back into the store (with my apple id), then I pulled down the iTunes menu in the menu bar and selected Check for updates.
At this point it said that iTunes 11.1 was available and I'm downloading now " Quoted from a fellow user.
It fixed my problem.

TS1538 I have updated both my Itune and Ipad mini , however, when I click on the device icon (beside itune store), it disappear. Why does this happen?

I have updated both my Itune and Ipad mini , however, when I click on the device icon (beside itune store), it disappear. Why does this happen?

I'm not sure why this would happen. But I think I did see another post a week or two ago about this. Have you tried rebooting your computer and resetting your iPad.
To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

HT1296 tried to update both iphone 5 and ipad mini and itunes sent errors to both and now on each device it says to connect to itunes but nothing happens

i have tried to update both my iphone and ipad to the new software on itunes and both came up errors and locked me out telling me to connect to itunes but nothing happens

Try putting them in DFU mode. This helped me when it happened to my iPhone 5.
If you don't know how to do that there are plenty of tutorials on the internet. It only takes a couple seconds.
