Users of the 9.7-inch iPad Pro are complaining that the iOS 9.3.2 update is locking the device and preventing it from rebooting.
If you're using one of Apple's latest iPads, you might want to hold off on installing the latest update to iOS.
Version 9.3.2, released yesterday, is "bricking" some users' iPad Pro 9.7-inch models, with devices freezing and demanding that owners plug them in to iTunes.
Apple's Support account on Twitter urged users to restore their iPads through iTunes, but for many this has not resolved the issue, rendering them essentially useless.
Judging from users reporting the issue on Twitter, it appears confined to the 9.7-inch iPad Pro model, which was released in March and costs between £499 and £839.
It is unclear what, exactly, about the particular model makes it vulnerable.
The "Error 56" message points to a hardware issue, according to Apple's iOS error page. Apple's advice is to make sure you have the latest version of iTunes, check for issues with third-party security software, make sure your USB cable and other hardware are reliable and then try a couple of times to restore your device. If all that fails, then it's time to contact Apple support.
