iPad 2 stuck on progress bar after iOS 9 update

2 days ago, I went to update my iPad 2 to iOS 9. Everything seemed to be working fine, so I left it overnight to update and asked my parents to leave the wifi on overnight so that it would update.

Yesterday morning I woke up and the iPad appeared to have updated (came up with "Hello" and asked me to set up). I went to set the iPad up, and it asked me to connect to Internet. My Internet wasn't available so I assumed it had been turned off after my iPad had finished updating, and skipped it.

However, after having set up, my iPad suddenly restarted. For the last 24 hours it has been stuck on the Apple logo screen with the progress bar, which gets to about a third of the way then suddenly goes back again. I have tried everything; pressing the home and power button, letting it run out of power and recovery mode.

Also, whenever I tried recovery mode, it asked me to allow my computer access to my iPad by responding on my iPad, which I obviously couldn't do because it's stuck on the progress bar.

Have spent hours looking for solutions but have found nothing of any use. Does this mean I need to send it off for repair somehow, or is there something I've missed? Please help!!

How did they manage to restore it? I have tried this myself but can't make it work, and I can't update it to iOS 9.0.1 because it's stuck.

There must be settings on the iPad only they can access. I couldn't restore it or install the update either. It's working great now. I recommend making an appointment with the Genius Bar.

Generally, there are 5 ways to get aniPad stuck on Apple logo out of boot loop:

Force restart the iPad;
Use Volume Up, Home, Wake/Sleep button combinations;
Fix iOS to normal with an iOS system recovery tool;
Update or restore the iPad in recovery mode;
Restore the iPad in DFU mode.

If you don’t have a most current backup file of the iPad, restore in DFU mode and recovery mode are not suggested, as the 2 methods will cause data loss. That’s to say, the 2 methods shall be the final choices.

Method 1 to 3 don’t require the restore of the iPad, so won’t affect the data on the device.

If you update the iPhone in recovery mode instead of restoring it, the data on the iPad will also be well kept.
