My iPad seems to be stuck in Verifying IOS 9.0.1

I have an iPad3. 64 GB Memory

I downloaded the IOS 9.01 update a little over an hour ago.

Still in Verify Stage. Purchased through Verizon.

Updated my iPhone also purchase through Verizon and noticed it took a long time to verify what seem to be a very small update. But; it did update.

Any Suggestions.

Suggestion other than waiting. Would like to do a Shutdown and Restart and Try again. But can't seem to do it.

I am having to post through my MacBook Reason for Details of system showing at Bottom

iPad Details are:

iPad (Third Generation) Wi-Fi, plus Cellular VZ

64 GB RAM

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), Feb 2011, 2.8 GHZ i7,8 GB RAM

I fixed my issue:

used Round button next to power Cable and the flat button at top of screen, held both dow 10 seconds until Apple Logo came up
Screen went Blank The screen opened and slide to open
Went Back to General setting to Software install and clicked to restart install.
This time verify only lasted few second and install began 15 minutes later.
Open to main screen
Went to General again, and to software.
this time verified was updated to 9.0.1 – no damage to other software.

MY problem was that I wasn't holding the round button (home button) and the flat button on top for LONG enough like you suggested. I thought I was following your directions but I wasn't doing them properly! Thank you! Your fix worked! I really missed my iPad for the last 2 days!

I am not able to update at all using OTA. The problem with installing with iTunes is that it will download 1.8 GB while the update is around 40MB only.

Yes -- this was Perfect. I tried -->connecting to power cord to laptop ONLY-->holding home down-->waiting for response on iPad for several times. That didn't work. Tried Holding Power-->Holding Home--> Simultaneous and within minutes I was up and running again. Nothing lost, no apps missing....etc.... Reset-->Restarted-->Then updated as normal-->no problems! Thanks!!

My upgrade also got stuck in the Verifying mode. I tried the re-boot process listed above but after re-upgrading, it stuck in the same Verifying stage. Ended up having to rebuild my iPad (iPad 2, 16gb) from scratch. What a pain. Probably won't buy any more Apple products.

Thank you. I hope that fixes my problem. Restarted the update. Back at verifying update. At least I know how to get out of it. I think Apple has a problem with this update.

I had to use same procedure on IOS 9.2 as well. I think these systems are getting larger than many iPads can handle. Won't be surprised if I don't need to swap to a 128 GB iPad Pro or Equivalent.

Even Installing EL Capitan on My Mac is Teeth Chattering. It restarts three times and takes about 1.5 Hrs to install. Technology is changing faster than we can keep up.
