Yesterday I tried updating to iOS 8 via Wi-Fi, which turned out to be a big mistake I later reckoned. While the download went fine, when the iPad rebooted it is stuck in recovery mode (iTunes and connector symbol). When I connect it to my computer it says that it recognizes an iPad in recovery mode and that I have to restore it. I try to restore it but it instantly gets an error saying that the update is not available. While I understand this might be a problem with the servers, I'm worried that I'll have this problem when I try again tonight. When I almost want to give up, I unintentionally find a way to get out of recovery mode without restoring.
If you have the similar experience as mine, you can follow my way to go. All you need is the powerful iPad program - iPad Data Recovery. With it, you can effectively get your iPad out of the recovery mode.
