Q: iPad freezes during reboot after installing 9.0
i just updated my iPad mini to iOS 9.0 today and it is now frozen on a reboot. I decided to restart it because it kept stopping after the update. I'd be in the middle of something and it would switch to a black screen, then the apple would appear and it would reboot. I was hoping that a reboot that I had planned might help, but now the bar gets to about a third and stops, it stays that way for several minutes, then the screen goes black, the apple appears and the whole thing begins again.

There is a bug when updating from iOS 7 to iOS 9 (Skipping iOS 8). Luckily it is easy to fix!
Step 1 - Backup your device (This will save things like photos, text messages, etc).
Step 2 - Download iOS 8.4.1 for your iPhone or iPad.
Step 3 - Reboot phone into DFU mode - hold down the sleep/wake button and home button - when it reboots let go of power button - still hold home button
At this point it will ask you to connect your phone to iTunes - will have to connect phone to the computer.
Step 4 - Hold down the Option (Mac) or Shift (Windows) and and then click restore.
Step 5 - Browse to the 8.4.1 file you downloaded and select it. This should restore to the previous IOS version. Note: This will wipe phone.
Step 6 - Restore from backup. Hope that you backed up before attempting to update.
Step 7 - Download and install iOS 9.
