Q: My iPad 2 is bricked since I updated to iOS 9.3

I tapped on the new iOS update on tuesday, since then I don't manage to activate my iPad 2.

I tried all the stuff Apple suggested and spent 2 hours with Apple support on the phone.

@Apple I need my iPad back :-)

I also recently attemped to update the IOS on one of our iPads - (4th Gen). It crashed in the install and I was unable to restore it under itunes. It fails with error 1404. I took the iPAD to the Genuis Bar (UK) and they were unable or provide any help at all. As a regular Apple customer over many years now - I am very dissapointed by the service I have received from Apple. It appears they have lost interest in their customers and indeed their products that are no longer under warrenty. I have read there have been a number of problems with the original 9.3 update, however by Genius Bar technicians appear unaware of this matter.
