Stuff happens. Connect the device to iTunes and restore as a new device.

As for losing your files that is what a backup is intended. Anytime you don't backup you risk loss of data. Would you feel any better about losing your data if you dropped your iPad and destroyed the device?

yes i I would of been satisfied that I drop it, and broke my iPad then the update crashing my Ipad 2. Because at least I know I did it, the apps I purchase iI'm not that upset about, but there's one app since I had to reset it to factory as new and update, I didn't want to reset it to factory setting, but I had no choice. I lost a lot of memerie. lesson learn next time I will update all my stuff on my PC to prevent this happening to me again. Never had a problem with pass update it was this update, that teach me a lesson, u can not always be computer free when it come to update any apple device.

I had the same issue. iOS 8 updated crashed my iPad.

I would restore my iPad but now every time I connect it to my mac it crashes iTunes instantly and my iPad is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen....

This is exactly what happened to mine as well. I've tried numerous times to restore it but so far it just sends me back to the restore screen on iTunes and the plug into iTunes message on my iPad.

Same thing happened to me - cannot 'recover' because it does not recognize that I am plugged into itunes. has anyone gotten a resolution for this issue?

iOS systems should have an automatic back-up function/option or at least a fair warning (not just small print) when updating...

I got this sorted by updating iTunes. I'm running Yosemite beta and hadn't noticed there was an iTunes update waiting. Must remember to always check this first.
