Q: iPad 2 locked up on upgrade

Our iPad was upgraded to ios 9 i think and is incompatible. It locks up when the upgrade reaches about 1/4 of the way across the progress bar. NOW I don't know what I can do to either revert the ios or make 9 work it's an iPad 2 with wi-fi. Why has Apple made it so unsupported devices do this? It is old but it DID still work.

Thanks,

Andy

iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 9

Use these steps:

Connect your iOS device to a computer that you've previously synced with iTunes. Then make sure iTunes is open.

Select your device. If you don't see it listed, force restart your device by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home button for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

If you made an iTunes backup of your device before updating to iOS 9, restore your device from that backup. If not, you need to make a backup of your device in iTunes, then restore from that backup.

It shouldn't matter which computer it was last synced to. If you don't have one, you can take it to an Apple Store or a friend who does.
