Installed IOS9 on iPad 2. Now on a continuous loop. Please help!

I Just installed IOS9 on my sons iPad 2. It restarted, had to choose a passcode etc. then it came up with slide to upgrade, then goes to the passcode screen, after entering that it goes to the apple logo screen with the download bar. It appears to be downloading for a couple minutes then goes back to the slide to upgrade screen. Has been doing this continuously for about 20 mins. Please help?

iOS 9 Freeze

There is a bug when updating from iOS 7 to iOS 9 (Skipping iOS 8). Luckily it is easy to fix!

Several Possible Solutions for Slide to Upgrade Problem


Here is Apple’s suggested fix: If the Slide to Upgrade screen won't go away after you update to iOS 9 - Apple Support.


Here's another person's suggestion: How to backup photos from bricked iPhone (slide to upgrade) after upgrading to iOS 9.


Here are two YouTube video suggestions you can try:

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.
