Q: My ipad mini 3 has hung during upgrade to IOS8

Hi connected my ipad mini to my laptop to synch and then download the new IOS8.

However, after it finished synching and during re-start the ipad mini has "hung" - it. I see the apple logo and a white bar that looks like its about 90% through the upgrade.

when I look at iTunes my iPad doesn't appear in the side bar....

How can I restart my iPad?

Is it ok to do this?

Help!

iPad mini (Retina) Wi-Fi, iOS 7.0.4
