Thank you

This is clearly the best option to update, as you can then keep your data. Good solution. If it works with an update it's just perfect. If it still only shows white screen with Apple logo, then you can try a restore.


Yes, it downloads software to the iPad, it takes up a few gigabytes, so it may take some time. You can always write here again if you have more questions and I cross my fingers that an update was successful.

Hmm okay, It was not the screen we wanted to see. Try "start diagnostics"


EDIT: Sorry for the long response times, but I get limited by posting limits rule.
