Q: My iPad is pretty much useless after updating to iOS9 (stuck on "slide to upgrade")

Try force restarting:

Hold both the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears.

If that doesn't work, you will need to do a restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

Same here... just done a full restore/wiped iPad but of course, the iPad installs the latest iOS, which is causing the problem.

Please help!

...nice idea, but can't get into the iPad - 'slide to upgrade' locked out.

Anyone else?

i am also having the same problem.

managed to update my phone fine but my iPad seems to be having problems, i have restarted

it several times now and I am not even getting the slide to upgrade screen now, just a white screen!

Same issue here with iPad Mini 2 with Cellular.  Updates to a point, but then get Slide to Upgrade message with white screen and can go no further.  Tried hard reset with no luck.  Can't do restore from iTunes, because can't get in to turn off Find My iPhone.  Had no problems updating other iPhones and iPads today.

same problem here , i posted about it earlier is there any apple technicians here who can suggest something to help us??

I also have the same problem with my iPhone 5C... I managed to do a factory restore and now it lets me slide to upgrade, but then it just keeps looping after a few seconds of the progress bar coming up... No idea what to do now.

You should be able to bypass that by restoring in Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808. When the restore is done, you will still be required to sign into iCloud (Find my iPhone) before you can use the iPad.

Hi

I'm having the same problem and I tried what you've suggested but I can't even turn off the Ipad.. Holding down the lock key doesn't turno off the Ipad, just turns off the screen.

Any other suggestions?

I have the same issue on my IPad Mini 2 and I have logged into my icloud account and deactivated find my iPhone for all my devices. Still the same issue after reset. Any ideas on how to fix we be much appreciated.

Hold the home and power buttons at the same time. When you see the Apple boot logo, release the power button but continue hold the home button until you see an iTunes prompt.

Restore going now.  Was able to get past the Slide to Upgrade screen.  Thx

You are welcome. Glad it helped.
