Q: iPad Air after iOS 8.3 crashes ??

The same happened to me after 2 days from iOS 8.3 upgrade and the following actually resolved the issue :

Step 1. Turn your device off by holding down the Sleep  (power) button. (if was hanged ON, otherwise skip this step)

Step 2. Connect your iPad to your computer and start iTunes.

Step 3. Hold down both the Sleep (power) and Home button for about 10 seconds.

Step 4. Once appeared in iPad screen the iTunes logo and the connector cable, your PC will start identifying your device and the restore option will popup (of course after checking for the latest driver and maybe latest iTunes software update).

Step 5.  Now just choose the option of NO (for restoring)  and then remove the iPad from the cable.

Step 6. Press the (Sleep) power button OFF and hold until closed.

Step 7. Repress the (Sleep) power ON and it will boot normally isA

HHello hi,

after updating to 8.3, I notice some lag while launching apps. Also, sharing has been biggest hassle. Does anyone has this issue, especially with regard to 3rd party apps sharing? Btw how to downgrade to IOS 8.2. Need help plz

I also had a similar problem on my 6 mo old iPad Air2. After upgrading to iOS 8.3 it never got past flashing the Home screen before restarting the reset after update. It wouldn't restore from my 8.2 iTunes windows backup. I finally was able to obtain the ios 8.2 setup file and use it in iTunes to go back to a "bare" 8.2.  Then I was able to apply my 8.2 backup to restore successfully. Somehow the Folks that monitor this site didn't like my solution and deleted my posting with an unflattering comment. I'm waiting to get back home to go to the Apple Store to explain my situation with all the equipment in hand, since I'm still under warranty. I'm nervous about updating my other devices to 8.3 until there is a safe direction to follow. Hope this Helps!

I downloaded the last ipsw for 8.2. Apparently you have a different issue with 8.3. I never got past the last 8.3 update step on the iPad where it completes and goes to the home screen (flashes for less than a second) then starts the update setup procedure all over again,and again,...

Sorry this didn't help....

Hi,

I have the same problem with my nearly new iPad. I upgraded to iOS 8.3 and after that the apple logo flashes at least ten times during the reboot process.

Finally it starts working but the apple logo appears again and again randomly, it seems like a reboot, but disappears 5-10 seconds later. It isn't in connection of using any of application on it, and immediately appears every time  when I go into the Setup and try to change anything  there (for example).

The restore and the recovery didn't help.

I was afraid that my device's broken, but I see now, it was the upgrade what caused the problem. (otherwise so many iPad's broken in same way at nearly same time which is hard to believe.

We are waiting for Apple to fix the problem. Thank you.

Upgraded my iPad to iOS 8.3 yesterday.

Today, it won't boot up (black screen)

Tried recovery mode, screen stays black. No Apple logo. Nothing!@#

So?

What am I supposed to do before I go to the Apple store?

My problem is a bit different   I have an iPad Air that blue screens randomly and frequently. I can barely use it. It does not seem to be tied to anything specific. Sometimes I open safari and it blue screens, reboots and the Apple logo comes up and I'm in again. Sometimes I leave it for long periods of time as I can't use it, just to come back to it and see that it has rebooted by it self asking me for my password. I have tried multiple hard resets to no avail. I also did a full restore from within iTunes and then synced back my iCloud backup. But nothing, it's just as before with blue screens and all. I Was looking forward to crushing some bugs with 8.3, instead i am stuck with an unusable iPad. Is all I can do wait for Apple to release an update? Or is there perhaps something I have not thought about?

Any thoughts and ideas are greatly appreciated!

Greetings from Sweden.

I actually managed to fix a very similar issue (almost continuous rebooting) with my iPad. I installed iBackupBot, connected the iPad, and had a look at the log as it was crashing. In my case, it turned out that a process called com.apple.datamigrator kept starting and, because some Apple Maps files were corrupted, caused a EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) resulting in the reboots. I managed to extract these files from another backup (from my iPhone actually) and import them into this backup, also using iBackupBot. I restored this and the iPad now works again as it should.

Hth,

I took my iPad Air 2 into an Apple Store and consultant led me through the restore as new device, taking 15-20 minutes. I couldn't use any of my backups, since the continual Update Loop was apparently caused by some corruption on the iPad that was imbedded in all previous backups. This iPad was restored initially from my old iPad 1.....I then manually reloaded apps and data....Working fine NOW!!!!

Im having the same problem with mi ipad mini i upgrade it to iOS 8.3!!! It keeps turning off by it self and turning on!!! Do it all the time every day!!!

Hi

My iPad 4 died because of iOS 8.3!@# (error 4005 when trying to restore)

It is 2y and a month old!! It worked fine till the upgrade.

So what's the next step please?

Regards.

Hi DukeEdgar,

How did you knew which files you had to replace?
I have a similar problem with my iPar Air, I tryied restoring from itunes to factory settings a couple of times and the problem persists. It was hard to restore though, I had to try it several times before it worked.

Last night, when the Ipad was in a rebooting loop I pluged the lightning cable connected to a wall power adapter and the reboot loops started to get longer (1 or 1 and a half minutes) an a blue screen pops up quickly before it go dark again. Now I tried once again to restore but with no luck :/

Any help would be appreciated

Kind regards,

How did you figure out it was the apple maps files, and how did you replace them?
