Hi please bear with me here as im very new to Apple.
i have recently been given my brothers old ipad 2, wifi 16gb which has been stuck i think in recovery mode for sometime, the ipad is displaying connect to itunes graphic.
i have connected to itunes and have been prompted to do a restore but when this evently loads the new software the screen changes back to the apple logo with the progess bar below. i have left this a few hours but not a single change on the progress bar. repeated the process a few more times
from previous posts i have discovered that you can put the ipad into DFU mode which i have tried along with getting the new firmware downloaded. i have the most recent version of itunes install on my pc.. then again when all the new software and firmware has been loaded on i still get the ipad showing the apple logo and progress bar which doesnt move..
am i doing something wrong or is this a hardware problem. the only thing i havent tried is another pc which i will do later.
i would greatly appreciate any help whatsoever
thanks in advance
