IPad stuck - getting the "waiting for IPad" restore in never never land
Pretty strange stuff, had the IPad for three years, no problems, last week it started shutting it self off, full power off that is and would only restart by holding both power buttons for about three minutes. (yes the battery appears good) (yes the software said it was up to date)Now it won't restart at all. Plugged into ITunes, it has sat connected for two days now, apple and progress bar present and ITunes saying its waiting for the iPad. Oooookayyyy, so will leave it connected for a couple of weeks and see if anything happens ??? I guess ?? There are lots of hints to try different things but the iPad will no longer turn on unless its connected to my mac and iTunes.... any body have any ideas ??? went to two apple recommended repair stores in calgary alberta canada, two stores told me they had nothing to do with the produces from apple, soooo why are they listed as repair depo's ? Travels to these fake sites has cost me hours of driving for nothing, looking through these web pages again reaps nothing, there are no local repair depos in my area and none can or will touch the iPad.
almost makes a person feel like they have been scammed ... or is it just me being toooooo sensitive. Words of advice anyone ? Or should I just go buy the competitors product .....
