I Updated my iPad Air 16gb wifi model with iOS 8 yesterday and since then I am facing random reboots with blue screens. Is this a known issue or am I in trouble ?

Dear All,


FIxed issue of BSOD ON IPad mini with retina display after updating IOS 8.0.2.


Use recovery mode

You might need to use recovery mode to restore your device in these cases:

  • iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode.
  • You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
  • You see the Connect to iTunes screen.

Learn what to do if you see the progress bar onscreen for several minutes.To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:

  1. Turn off your device and leave it off.
  2. Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes.
  3. Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
  4. When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.

When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.

After recovery mode is completed do not restore your back up reinstall everything as if new.

Doing this will work.

THERE ARE NO MORE BSOD ON MY IPAD

I have exactly the same problem too. I have 2 ipad mini retina. I have directly upgraded one of them, the other one is restored via itunes with the restore file. Prob

em continued. Then I have updated minor fixes 8.0.2 with many hopes, But still both are having same problem. It is really annoying. Apple guys must really care this. I had this problem while writing this message.
