I had the very same issue, couldn't go past the apple logo black screen. Tried this 3 steps and it worked for me.
Remember make sure the usb cable is plugged to the computer with itunes running then and only then press the device's home button and plugg the other side of the usb cable to the device without releasing home button then you'll see the connect to itunes screen on your device and you will be ready to restore your device.
I have tried all the steps in this thread and non have worked, my iPad mini is still stuck on the apple logo and will not go any further... and on my itunes it says "Waiting for iPad...", it can stay like that for an entire day and nothing, I unplug it from my computer and still stays like that till battery runs out...
Please help me!

That's what Apple Support is good for, in your case ...
Apple Support
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
I went to the Genius Bar two weeks ago and the person who "took care of me" simply said my iPad was dead and would not work again because the screen hardware has faulty, I decided not to give up and tried to charge it two days ago, and the screen turn on!! It went from error 4005 to error 3194 and now no error it's just stuck on that screen every time and itunes on the same message. 😕
Oh thank you thank you thank you!
This was the advice I needed. No one else specified to hold onto the home button until the iTunes icon appeared. You brought my iPad back to life and my life back to iPad.
🙂
What piroz said worked great for me.
Thanks PIROZ ! You are an MVP.

Thanks, I'm at least in recovery mode after thinking I had a bricked iPad.
Sadly still experiencing this problem on my iPad 3 despite trying all the excellent tips given here. Even iTunes won't recognise my iPad when I connect it to my PC via USB. Is there anything else I can try? I did phone Apple Support but they want a lot of money to even talk to me.
Thank you for the advice to hold down the Home button as I connected the USB cable. Worked like a charm. Now I wonder WHY it froze like that??
You are the man, Piroz! Thank you so much. That got me into recovery mode.
Hello,
I am not sure if you still visit this website, but my ipad "died" last night and I tried everything. I was heartbroken. I use it all the time. Today at work I did some web searching and came across your post. I saw that it helped people and I couldn't wait to get home and try it. It might seem silly but I have seen miracles in my life and I consider this one of them. I couldn't really afford to have it fixed. I had scheduled an appt. with an apple store which I am VERY happy to cancel. I just wanted to reach out and thank you. You made my day!!! Completely and totally!!! I appreciate you!
Sincerely,
Fellow ipad user
tnx a lot .
thank you SO MUCH for this. I tried everything, nothing worked, and this simple couple of steps did.
Thank you - this worked when the apple site was sending me to a store
Hi,
I noticed that if you are using Windows and are getting the (6) error, it may help to open Windows Explorer, when updating your iPad. I think it activates the the connection between iPad and USB port. Also make sure you have logged in to iTunes with your Apple account.
Same problem!
Any help. black screen flicker every 3 seconds when connected to computer. otherwise unresponsive
