its a ploy to make me buy new apple junk

Don't fall for it, give your iThing away and get an Android, or a Windows mobile device. Stand up for yourself.

My ipad2 is stuck on Itunes symbol and usb port... It will not do anything.No hard reset and my laptop doesn't recongize it anymore... It tells me to download again and everytime samething happens..

I have tried everything that they suggest nothing works. IPad 2 now only shows apple sympol and usb plug.. Will not hard reset.. Computer does not recongize it all anymore.. Please someone help me... My Ipad 2 is Stuck in this mode...

try this

1.press home and lock button until screen goes dark, and let go both bottons, so you have a ipad with a black screen/ leav it lik this

2. lunch itunes and update it

3 connect a cable to the ipad, with out connecting it to the pc by now

4. while pressing and holding the home button permanently connect the cable to the pc

it worked for me

That still does not work.

try another usb port this time, and reste couple of times before,

Tried to upgrade to ios9 on my Ipad and bricked it during the process.  Stuck on same page as most upgrades ("slide to upgrade"

Tried to follow Apple "fix" but it did not work.  Required that I turn of "Find My Ipad" first......kinda difficult when you are shut out of the system.

Seems that most of the problems are occuring with people who are upgrading from ios7 to 9 without having gone through 8.4.1.

I found the following "fix" online and was able to recover my iPad (including all 155 downloaded apps and all of my files and photos) in about 20 minutes.  I must say that before I bricked the ipad trying to upgrade to ios9  I had done a full backup.

Here is the link.  It requires downgrading the ios to 8.4.1 which allows the ipad to function.  You then link to iTunes and restore your apps before upgradinbg to ios9.  Went without a hitch.....whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone,

I have the same error. I have upgraded to ios9 version two days ago and now it does not start. When it starts to load and then it restarts automatically. I do not have a backup. How can I downgrade my version in order to run correctly. Please help me... Thank you

Thank you so much for the link. If you follow the steps, it works like magic. I t is VERY IMPORTANT to have ios 8.4.1, in my case using the ipad 2. It is now clear to me that you cannot upgrade from earlier ios ver to ver 9 without getting into trouble...

I had to force a restore to factory settings which recovered my Ipad still using IOS 9. However, I cannot connect my Ipad to ITunes to restore my backup of apps etc as I receive an error "my Ipad does not have the latest version of ITunes". As the Ipad has IOS 9 loaded I would assume I have the latest version of ITunes but I cannot find a way of knowing what to do. On the Ipad I have ITunes store as an app and no way that I can see to upgrade it.

I also became the victum of IOS 9 on my iPad. My iPad was completely wiped out.  Tried rebooting 5 times and connected to iTunes, nothing!  I can't believe Apple's poor job on this.
