iPad Mini 2 Suddenly Won't Go to "Home", Shows "Slide to Setup"
Suddenly my iPad Mini2 Model A1489 now shows "Slide to Setup" Instead of its usual "Slide to turn on" when I plug it in or turn it on using the "Sleep/Wake" button. The iPad was working fine the day before, and all I did was turn it off and unplug it, as usual. The next day, when I plugged it in, the iPad responded with "Slide to Setup." It recognized my password, then said "Connect to Wifi" and "Connect to iTunes." Since I do not have Wifi, I connected the iPad to my old Mac that still has iTunes. The iPad beeps, and the iPad window on my computer shows the title of my iPad, but the rest of the window is blank, with the Apple logo but no menu, settings options, or content. At the same time, my iPad screen still shows "Connect to iTunes." The "Home" button on my iPad gives no result. Connecting the iPad to my new Mac that has "Music" instead of iTunes makes the iPad beep, but the iPad does not show up on that Mac. The "Sleep/Wake" button on the iPad works OK, and the iPad battery shows 100%. The iPad iOS is 8.2. Help!
Ist dies eine gute Frage?
From my experience, this results in the operating system becoming corrupt. I'm not sure if you have your data backed up, but in this case, you may have to use iTunes or Finder (on a Mac) to update or restore the device.
You can try an update first and see if you can retain your data. Otherwise, you'll have to try a restore.
Outside of that, I'm not too sure what to do.

Thanks, Anthony! How do I go about restoring or updating the iPad from iTunes or Finder on my Mac?
