iPad Mini 2 stuck after iOS 9 upgrade

After successfully updating to iOS 9, my iPad Mini 2, 16GB, crashed in the middle of a game. Now it is stuck on the black apple screen with the progress bar filled up about a third of the way. I tried the hard reset several times without success. I tried plugging into my Mac iTunes, and it asks to allow the computer to access the iPad. When I click "continue" on the Mac, a screen comes up saying that I need to use the iPad to respond. Meanwhile the iPad is still stuck on the black apple screen, so I can't do anything.

I think my iPad is dead. I'm out of warranty. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

iPad Mini, iOS 9

Since the upgrade to iOS 9, my ipad mini is crashing several times per day. Some time, even after a restart, the ipad is crashing again. After a call to the support, I've made a "restauration" (in french, perhaps in same then "re-installation from scrach"). No improvement see. The only solution, I have is to downgrade to 8.4. What a really pitty.

Took my dead iPad Mini to the local Apple Store Genius. 10 minutes later, fully functional restore. Special Thanks to Genius John from Northbrook, IL!

I had/have the same problem iOS 9 on my iPad Mini 2 keeps crashing... Sometimes you will see a slight blue screen and it restarts. Was hoping that the new iOS 9.0.1 update would help, but no luck.
