Alright, so I finally decided to update my ipad. I went to settings, pressed update and the ipad screen told me to connect it to itunes. I connected it to itunes, and it said i had to restore my system. It supposedly updated, but while it was restoring, I accidently took the usb off. Ever since then my ipad has been forever turning on and off, starting with the black screen, brightening up showing the apple sign, and back to the black screen again in a never ending cycle. I've tried taking it off regularly and it fails to work. I've tried plugging it back into my computer and itunes, and it doesnt show up there for some apparent reason. The only reason I could get it to stop is when I hold down the power and home button together, and it turns off. Whenever i plug it back into anything, as in the wall charger or computer, it then again repeats its never ending cycle. Can someone please help me out? I've had this ipad for about 5 months now, and have never experienced a problem like this.

Your iPad keeps tryig to find updates and it is having a error reload. Reset all of your data and check with updates. It worked for me.

Apple does that a lot with every update. It has happen a lot in recent years. If that does not work I suggest you plug it into the computer and delete everything. Save your data first so you can put it in. Refresh it. And try to keep fixing it. It will take a couple of tries. Don't worry. If all else fails contact apple. Wait on a second though don't. Contact apple stores cause they will charge you a fee.

Don't tell me you visited them. You obviously didn't, or your problem would be fixed.

Put the iPad into DFU mode, then restore again.

How are you gonna tell me what I did or didn't do? The one answer on this base that I got was better then the million of results google had to offer.
