After iOS 7 update my iPad mini is stuck in recovery mode

You can try and Reset iPad

Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

No.

iPad Recovery Mode = http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097

Note on Recovery Mode.

You may need to try this More than Once...

Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...

Once you have Recovered your Device...

Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...

If a reset doesn't work, you will have no choice but to force iPad into Recovery Mode

1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.

2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.

3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.

4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.

5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

Did you disconnect the USB cable, turn off the iPad and hold down the Home button?

Suggest you try using another computer to recover your iPad.

I updated my iPad mini to iOS7 and it worked fine for a while, but since then, it keeps rebooting and rebooting... This is NUTS !!! What can I do??

I had the same problem with my iPad Retina Display, since I am on a Mac I used the software Wondershare Dr.Fone free trial. The software states the iPad is not in the correct state, you click restart button on the software, and then the iPad will restart. I have checked and I still need to upgrade to iOS 7.0

My ipad reverted to RECOVERY mode after the latest IOS 7 update.

I RESTORED back to factory settings and then when setting up ,u new ipad told it use my ipad icloud backup to restore.

So far everything looks good!

GEEZ, still cannot believe apple let this update go....first time ever!

Hi All, was anyone succeessful in restoring your ipad after DFU restore from itunes? My iTunes seems to had restored my ipad correctly, then it prompted me to not disconnect it from the computer and leave it there until it finishes restoring. Then my ipad restarted, and it's back at the apple logo. I don't know if it's doing something in the background or something, but it's been stuck for about an hour now still connected to my itunes. How long did any of yours take?

Okay. My iPad booted correctly now and I'm now on the Hello screen. So what happened are the ff and how i resolved it:

1) Entered DFU mode while connected to iTunes

2) iTunes did a restore (successful we'll assume)

3) iTunes then prompts the user saying not to disconnect the iPad from iTunes.

4) The iPad kept on showing the Apple logo, would even restart every now and then.

So after being stuck at #4 for about an hour, I disconnected the iPad from iTunes, then did a hard reset by pressing home and power button simultaneously until it turned off, i did notice it rebooted twice on its own, then it entered the Hello screen after that.

I think, it kept on rebooting after a restore is because it was still in DFU mode, and you had to explicitly exit the DFU mode to progress to the Hello screen.

I hope this helps someone out there.

Same thing happens to me and itunes never recognises that there is a device connected at all.
