iPad 2 Air jump DFU Boot Up sequence

Hi all

I am a corporate IT and we have an iPad that gave us some difficulty, the last two days. He was stuck in a boot loop sequence that would flash a loop about 3 times before freezing on the screen of the Virgin white apple logo screen and Red boot.

I was able to get into recovery mode and try to do a restore and update on the device, but when I try to go through the process of restore and update, without interruption, I get an error "iPad"iPad"could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).

I studied the error code and I followed these instructions several times. Different USB cables, different USB ports on my MacBook Pro. I tried the iMac to my office. I even tried the process on my windows via bootcamp partition. All have failed and left me with the same error.

I did more research and discovered the DFU mode. I tried to run the sequence through a separate set of instructions found on the site Web of you to boot DFU here. I followed these instructions completely without fault.

My problem is that whenever I plug the iPad in any machine, it will automatically now in recovery mode. I try first press and hold power for 3 seconds button, then the button home for 10 seconds, but before I can even hold power for 3 seconds button, the iPad starts in recovery mode. I know it's a long and complicated situation, but if someone has encountered this problem?

DFU mode is very very difficult to get that timing is absolutely essential. You're not the only one who has noticed this. I recommend that you keep trying until you get it in DFU, your last alternative other than an Apple Store. Good luck.

    If it is not paired with an Apple Watch and you want not any content, then you should start at step 3 and log on to your iCloud account on this topic (assuming that you're connected) - If you have settings > iCloud > find my iPad active on it, then you have to activate lock 'on', just the iPad to factory settings reset wouldn't remove your iCloud account He would have need of your id and password to reactivate

    If it has associated with your account, you must also remove it of him: view and delete associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support

    And if it is registered on your account, you should delete (assuming that your aunt will want to save on his own account): https://supportprofile.apple.com/

  • iOS10 update; iPad 2 Air not USB load with certified Amazon lightning cable

    iPad 2 Air and iOS 10: been using an Amazon certified cable lighting to load and iTunes connect via the USB port of > 1 year without any problem. Updated to iOS 10, now the certified cable doesn't load a USB port. It always connects to iTunes, but the sign of the battery flashes the fresh green symbol for 1 second then said stops and says 'no charge '. Tried on 2 USBs and 2 PC with the same result. Tried another brand cable via USB and it costs.

    When I plug this cable from Amazon in the wall charger, it will load. Seems to be something with the iOS10 not recognize the USB load now on this certified cable. I didn't call Apple support on that too, they have no idea what's going on. Their answer is to use an Apple cable of course. Any help is appreciated.

    The cable of the Amazon is located here:

    https://www.Amazon.com/DP/B010U3XVMU/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

    It seems there is no real solution beyond using another cable. There were a few people with this problem since iOS10 came out, so it's likely Apple changed something in the settings. As they changed it, it's either a mistake which will mysteriously set with the next update or it's going to be permanent.

  • Safari on the old MacBook Air vs iPad 2 Air?

    What have been the experiences of others?

    Using Safari, iPad our Air 2 family runs circles around the 2013 MacBook Air - loading pages almost instantly, scrolling is smooth, multiple tabs are without problems, etc.

    El Capitan could be a culprit.  But basically, I'm writing to see what others have found - and if I should put up with some softness or go on an Odyssey of troubleshooting!

    I have a MacBook Air model of base 2012 (4GB / 128GB) with El Capitan and features Safari extremely well - as you describe for your iPad. I can't help with your not why not but someone here will probably be able to help with that.

  • iPad 2 Air - WiFi but no Internet [BT Smart Hub]

    Since the update to iOS10, last night, my iPad 2 Air will not get an internet connection for my new BT Smart Hub.

    All my other devices (6, 6 s iPhone, laptop, iPad mini, etc.) are all working well.

    Results so far:

    Reset the router

    Restore the iPad as a backup and a new device

    Reset the settings of the network, including the lease

    The hub is certainly taking over the iPad, but it won't give him an internet connection. There is no VPN software that I know on the iPad.

    If I connect the iPad to another device (namely my phone on a hotspot) while the internet works fine.

    Spoke with BT and they said that they see no problem, and as all my other devices work then there must be something wrong with the settings of the iPad. :/

    By clicking on the side of my wireless connection, it seems that the router is not to give information the iPad (i.e. there not IP, subnet, router, DNS, etc info).

    At a total loss about what to do next - it's my main iPad sunk into the wall to control the House so it needs to work!

    Hello. You have enabled an access control on the router? Maybe you need help again to the iPad. Have reset you network settings, settings > general > reset > reset network settings? I guess you can see the network. What happens when you enter the password? Looks like you are having problems connecting to WiFi, no internet.

  • iPad 2 Air (iOS 9.3.5) said 'sharing location' - in messages.

    I noticed on my iPad 2 Air, (iOS 9.3.5) that when the use of messages, it is said

    "You share your location" when I click on "details".

    I never shared my position.

    Also, I "Location services" off. Looked at the settings > iCloud > and find my iPad's market (but greyed out) and "share my location" under ADVANCED is dimmed.

    How to make a gray location on my part so I can switch that off?

    Never shared my position in the first place. Thank you.

  • Send SMS from iPad 2 Air

    I have had my iPad 2 Air since Christmas and still have su text my husband on his Sony z1 of the iPad. It has recently upgraded to a z3 and now I can no longer send text messages him. Why is this? It is impossible because of compatibility issues that he was able to receive the text on his phone. He is the only person I know who doesn't have an iPhone, so I prefer not having to download an application just for texting him, especially since I could text her old phone.

    Sorry for the hike, can anyone shed some light on this?

    On your phone, check the settings > Messages > text Message Forwarding > your iPad 2 Air. Make sure that who is selected. Make sure that your phone is nearby and connected to the same WiFi network as well.

    You can check this as well.

  • My ipad 16Gig air 2 is short-term memory or space. iTunes indicates that on 6gig space on my device is occupied by "others". What are these other?

    My ipad 16Gig air 2 is short-term memory or space. iTunes indicates that on 6gig space on my device is occupied by "others". What are these other?

    Another seems to be a combination of things left behind by failed sync events, private data app which is not recorded elsewhere, and who knows what else. It tends to grow over time. The following steps should decrease. They assume that all the content you want on the device in your lending library for the restoration. If not see recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device first. I would also recommend you copy everything off of the camera, if you have not already.

    1. Backup device.
    2. Restoration as a new device.
    3. Restore the backup that you made earlier.

    Use a backup encrypted if you want to keep passwords, wi - fi settings, history and health web data as appropriate.

  • For the iPad 2 air, what is the best app for note taking allows you to use a removable keyboard and a stylus? Which is also a stylus good to use?

    I am looking to buy an iPad 2 air to take notes in college classes and I was wondering what is a good software that allows an external keyboard (like a laptop) to type notes and also allows the drawing with a stylus? What is a good pen that is compatible with the app and the iPad 2 air?

    If you really want to use stylus to take notes or draw you should go for iPad Pro with Apple pencil. Nothing else offers good experience especially for hand writing. If you ok with drawing then only pencil FiftyThree is a good choice on iPad 2 Air (but again, it is much worse in my opinion, then iPad Pro + Apple pencil). FiftyThree is also one of the best (paper) apps for note taking (and it works well with their pencil).

    The keyboards are wide work system and not a dependent application. You can go for any model of the 3rd party like you which is compatible with iPad air 2. Advice covers the Apple Smart keyboard are specific to the Pro (they need specific for Pro iPad connector).

  • How can I set the password for iPad 2 Air to something else than "immediately"?

    I have three iPad, iPad 2, iPad 2 Air and tha iPad Pro.

    My iPad 2 Air gives me the option to "set the password immediately".

    the other two iPads give options, for example, 15 minutes, 1 hour, etc.

    All three iPads running the latest IOS.

    is this a glitch with my iPad 2 Air or are they all like that?

    Why the 'immediately' is the only option? It looks like the other options are missing.

    Thank you.
