ipad 2 upgrade to iOS9 failed and destroyed my iPad

Try this, worked well with my iPad2:

iPad stuck in infinite reboot loop after iOS9 update

You first have to manually "downgrade" your iPad from the broken iOS9 update to iOS 8.4.1. This brings your iPad back to life. Afterwards you can upgrade to iOS 9.

joww

Please lead me to fix this issue:

I got IPad2 and upgraded over Air to iOS9. Then fail cannot slide to upgrade.

I have read here found need to reboot and plug to iTune to restore.

However my issue is, no backup.

How I can fix this issue?

When connect to iTune it askes me to respond to on iPad while I cannot slide the screen. So, I could not do anything.

Is there any way to fix?

Really got bad impression to this version.

I went to the Apple Store and they did the update to ios9 for me.

now everything works fine. 🙂

I have tried the restore function. I can connect to itune. But I can't do the restore by itune, it told me to "Find My ipad must be turned off before "Shirely's ipadmini" can be restored. But I can't go to the main menu to do the set up since my ipad min stucked at the white screen of death "slide to upgrade" unresponsive. There is never a hint that tell use to turn off Find my ipad function before upgrade!

I've got the same thing! Argh...

Complete FARCE BY APPLE.

MY IPAD IS NOW SO SLOW IT WOULD BE QUICKER WITH AN ABACUS!

cannot connect to game centre, been in the phone to apple support for 3 hours this afternoon.

In the end I had to restore to factory settings - then restore from back up and guess what? Still doesnt work properly.

top tip - DO NOT DOWNLOAD IOS9

thanks Apple for ruining my day and IPad

Looks like the caps lock key is borked as well.

My iPhone and iPad updated smoothly and are now faster than they used to be so I will see your suggestion and raise it with a DO DOWNLOAD IOS9

Your bet I think.

Hi sergzak i have the same problem with my ipad its wants me to plug it in to itunes but nothing works i ve done what you said to the others but still nothing comes back to the same screen

Exact problem here is the solution

ITunes will put you in endless loop of restore and update blah blah blah.................... but if you have taken backup before update then its fine but if update failed and ipad is in recovery mode and If you get error 9 or your ipad bricked stuck on recovery mode and you are not able to start ipad and iTunes is continuously failing to restore the ipad to previous state .If this is the problem then after wasting 2 days I used tenorshare reiboot and by god mercy I was at least able to get ipad back to original condition.

Hi All,

I had some minor success. Plugged the iPad into my iMac. Hard Rebooted the iPad. As soon as the apple logo showed up, I held down the home button. This put it into recovery mode. iTunes prompted for update or recover. Update did NOT work. Put me back at the same place. However, when I chose recover, this worked partially. It does take FOREVER. I had to let it set for several hours while it recovered. Thankfully, iTunes did show messages that indicated that something was happening. The iPad doesn't show any change for a long time. I finally got to a point where I could restore from iCloud backup. After that, it was a few more hours, but the system came up. Now it's useable, but the restore hasn't worked. It shows under the iCloud settings that a restore is in progress, but it's been twelve hours now and nothing. We can use the iPad and download apps, but it's still not restoring correctly.

I'm hoping that Apple releases a .01 version soon that fixes this issue. In the meantime, the 2nd iPad stays on 8.41... 🙂

It probably is restoring. I restored from my iCloud backup day before yesterday, and it took 17 hours. You can track the progress by going into your Photos app. If you go to the Photos option, you will probably see that only a portion of those photos have downloaded. Check again in a couple of hours, and you should see that some more of them have loaded.

Cheers,

mine too.

its a ploy to make me buy new apple junk ...its bricked and i have no computer ...and my 5th frayed lighting cable is not going to work anyway.

ios disaster . im sure to go to the apple store and they will charge me or say sorry ,,etc

Yes, it's a total conspiracy. That's why there are millions of people who have successfully and without incident upgraded to iOS 9....

Update: Left it overnight. Now it seems to be using iOS 9, but it's all messed up. So, I am trying to recover a backup. It's been trying for 8 hrs so far...

It is probably actually doing the backup. Are you restoring from an iCloud backup, and on your Slide to Unlock screen does it say "Restoring from iCloud Backup" just below the Slide to Unlock?

If so, check its progress by going into your Photos app to see if all photos are present under the Photos veiw. As you scroll up, you may encounter blank photos at a certain point. Note the date that the last viewable photos are showing. Check again in an hour and see if you now see photos going back further. If you do, then you know it is cranking along as fast as it can 🙂

Cheers,
