I have an I Pad mini first gen which is on 8.3. I want to sell my I Pad so I went to the erase from the settings. The I Pad restarted, and then it showed the little loading bar. It loaded about 10% of it then it vanished. It’s stuck on the black apple screen. I have tried holding the power button and the home button but the same thing happens. I tried connecting it to iTunes but the I Pad doesn’t show up on it. What can I do?
iPad Mini, iOS 8.3
Hi
You need to turn off find my ipad before you can Erace .
Just do this
Turn OFF iPad
Connect lead to USB on your PC
Press & hold power button down on iPad Don't let go
Connect lead to iPad keep power button pressed down
Until PC sees ipad wait for restore .
You may need to do this more than once.
To get ready for sale go to find my ipad and turn off
Then restore iPad back to factory settings .
Then its ready for new user to set up.
Cheers

Mine did the same. To get it recognised by itunes try this:
1. Press & keep pressed just the home button & attach to itunes via usb & keep the home button pressed till Itunes recognises then the ipad, should take atleast 15 seconds.
if this doesnt work then connect the ipad first to itunes via usb then press & hold just the home button till itunes reacts to your ipad.
Ipad mini stuck on the apple start up screen
