Q: iOS 9 update blocked my iPad HELP

Hi! Turn your iPad off. After that, force it to start. To do this, press Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and hold them for at least 10 seconds.

If this does not help, take a look these Apple Support articles:

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

As a final step, try the recovery mode. Turn your device off, then plug it to your computer with the home button pressed. Keep the Home button pressed until you see the iTunes logo on the screen of your iPhone. After that on your computer you should see the iTunes window saying your iPhone needs to be restored to factory settings. Click on the restore button.

Hello,

I have the same issue, but I have a backup. The problem seems to be the upgrade from iOS 7 to iOS 9. Whatever solution I tried, when the iPad is restored from iOS 7 backup, I am stuck. Only solution for now is a complete clean install of iOS 9 and a loss of all data and settings... Thank you Apple.

Maybe the solution would have been to upgrade first to iOS 8 and then iOS 9, but this seems no longer possible...

Here is maybe a solution:
