iPad stuck in a boot loop Dear Apple! I would like to ask about a problem called boot loop. My iPad has this problem since January. I watched a lot of videos about this, but didn’t work for me. I have a lot of data on it, so I dont’t want to reset it to factory settings. Please help for me! Thanks, Flórián [Re-Titled by Moderator]

iPad bootlooping after I tried to update it via Finder on my MacBook Hi! I have an 8th gen iPad 10.2 and I tried to update it to 16.2 recently via Finder on my MacBook (since it was throwing up failed-to-download errors via Software Update in Settings, it has 10GBs of free space so that shouldn't be an issue for a ~1GB update) and as soon as it started to prepare to update after extracting the files, the iPad just started bootlooping. It goes from the white Apple logo to the Recovery splash screen for a split second and then shuts down. This loops over and over until I unplug it from my Mac. I've tried updating and restoring my iPad with different cables, different Macs, and PCs and nothing has worked. I tried to restore it via DFU but that didn't work either, it just resulted in the same bootloop. I've had this issue earlier where it was resolved by using a USB-A to Lightning cable (not the USB-C to Lightning cable that comes in the box) but I don't have that anymore. I don't assume this is a normal thing everyone has to do do just to restore an iPad, is there anyone else who's had the same issue? Any help would be appreciated!
