iPad 2 keeps crashing rebooting after ios 8 update

Have you actually tried the erase and restore procedure outlined earlier in thread using iTunes on your Mac or PC?

It has cleared out our devices and solved most of these problems for many of us.

i am happily using ios8 on my ipad2-16gb now after having a frustrating experience when I first updated and it ruined the functionality of my iPad.

This is horrible I updated my ipad 2 with ios 8 and now all it does is crash, apple said I needed to buy a new one.

My ipad 2 no service cellular problem solved.

I updated 8.0.2 thru wifi direct from my iPad, the no service actually appear again after few hours.

How I solve this issue.

1) Sync your iPad via iTunes on your PC (make sure you install the latest itunes) be sure to "BACK UP" your iPad

2) After backup, restore your iPad to factory settings. Finished! restore all your iPad contents.

3) Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services and switch off Mobile network search

Thats it! Hope this help you guys.

I have had this problem of crashing for over a week now.. Ipad 4 locked into recovery mode with 'BSOD" .Apple support spent two hours attempting repair, removing all apple prodcuts from my pc, sharing the pc screen, was unable to restore the ipad. I was persistent with Black screen of death, and finally after pressing 'sleep' and 'home' keys together multiple times, was able to boot and and did a full restore. This did not work and support set up an appointment with the Apple store and a 'Apple Genius" did a full restore in the store from an imac. He restored it to a new ipad, which lost all settings, stored pics, docs and game stats.

System crashed when I got home with the apple logo on the screen, and a lot of 'panic' type text on the screen. It did however, start up. I then did a backup to icloud, and painfully re-loaed and re set-up all of my apps. Had one crash reboot yesterday, another this morning while browsing contacts.

This is an OS problem and the sooner APPLE recognizes it and creates a new version, the better off we will all be. Until then, user community: get used to crashes and re-boots.

I have the exact same problem. I updated my Ipad 2 to ios 8.0.2 and have truckloads of problems. First, my ipad won't load the apps, it would ask me for my password each time and then it would reboot. Next, it keeps rebooting for no apparent reason, as of the moment, it has been rebooting for 3 straight days. I have tried the reset restore and everything you could find in forums to no avail. Funny thing is, it seems that my battery doesn't drain out since it is on an endless loop of rebooting. The ipad was perfectly ok before this whole ios 8 fiasco. My worry now, is how will I be able to update the ios should the latest fix come out, since it won't stop restarting.

I have been having the same issues, with my ipad 2 randomly and frequently "respringing", sometimes 1x a day, other times 10x a day! It has made using my ipad pretty ineffective! I'm pretty comfortable with doing things on it, so I've done a complete restore to an original ipad a few times, just to see if that helped the issue and it hasn't. My husband has an ipad 2 as well and isn't haven't any respringing issues like me. What is the deal??? Apple, we need your help!

My ipad seems working already, though there are no installed apps yet. What I did was I allowed to keep on rebooting until the battery was drained. Then I just charged with the default charger.

Did the restore to itunes steps, so hopeful..... as I walked away from my desktop with my ipad it went black screen and then apple!!!! I cannot use this!!

Calling Apple this am....

I have done ALL of these things, and multiple times. In fact, Apple Store 'Geniuses' actually restored my iPad for me back to NEW, at which time I had to re-load nearly 40 apps and subsequently lost all settings for those apps.. The iPad is still re-booting with no particular regularity. Twice this morning, while looking at Fbook. One time, before going to the Apple store, the iPad went into recovery mode and could NOT be restored by telephone support people after two hours on the phone !. This is a particularly annoying problem and since our iPad is not even a year old, very disappointing. APPLE< PLEASE< FIX<THIS<PROBLEM>

and then it recurred. ipad stuck at 1% even if it's charging. It reboots every 10 seconds or so.

My IPad 2 with iOS 8 Installed crashes. The genius couldn't fix it. This is the last Apple product I will buy until Apple fixes the problem they created. In the meantime I will research competitors products for a replacement and I will sign up to the class action suit being discussed in this forum. I do not want to be an Apple customer if this is the way they disrespect their customers.

Woolie

Just wondering what devices everyone are using? This problem is on my iPAD3.

The thing is, if this is a bad coding issue being triggered by previous hardware then no amount of restores and reboots will fix it.

A fresh install will just reset the parameters and then go back into the same boot up coding loop as before.

The code has to be changed before this problem can be fixed. Apple's QA / Testing team need to know about this.

Are they properly testing on iPad 2 and iPad 3?

is anyone getting this problem on later models?

testers: you can force this start up bug by changing the language setting of the device - it will jump to reboot mode and then trigger off this issue.
