I upgraded my iPad to IOS 9 last night and now its frozen. I am in a loop where it says the update is successful enter pass code then it looks like it loading information then it goes back to slide to open and enter pass code. I tried rebooting and syncing to itunes with no luck. Any advice would be helpful.

Hi! Take a look at this article.
If the Slide to Upgrade screen won't go away after you update to iOS 9 - Apple Support
If this doesn't help, try the steps below.
Try to reset your device. This won't delete your data stored on this device.
Alternatively, you may go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings

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 device. After that on your computer you should see the iTunes window saying your device needs to be restored to factory settings. Click on the restore button.
This was helpful, thanks. I had to restore the iPad and set-up as new but everything that I want to save is in iTunes. I will be very leery on upgrading my device in the future if I have to wipe it to make it work after 😟
You are welcome. I believe in future Apple will fix the bugs causing all these issues and make iOS 9 even better.

wonder if you might have some ideas - my ipad air is frozen - backed up to icloud but not iTunes - iTunes reads my ipad so followed Apple's instructions as per link but when I try backing up to iTunes am met with error message 'cannot backup as ipad not set up' so am not able to back up and then restore as suggested. Previously had put ipad into recovery mode and tried restoring to factory settings but this took over 15 minutes and ipad then timed out so this option is not working - am tending to think I should wait until Apple had done a proper 'fix' for this? Do you have any suggestions please.
