[new peeps]

Hi, I do not know the meeting times of the Apple group as I have never been to a meeting. But my wife made a update that did the same thing to her I pad and it also affected my I pad and my I phone to some degree. What I done to fix it was I reset the I pad back to factory defaults but saved our information on the cloud. I no longer use a laptop but I had to borrow one to get I pad back to a default state. It took four attempts and about 4 hours as my wife had tried her password reset so many times we had to let it time out for a hour between the attempts to reset it. If I was you I would bring your lap top and passwords with you just as a worst case if needed to fix the update issue. Or if you are close to a Apple Store they might could fix it in 15 minutes as I am sure they have seen this issue many times. Good luck.
