Lol you ' re blind if you think you ' re going to benefit from this presidency but you ' ll see it in 68 months . Maybe you ' ll wake up then lol . <| sep |> Hmm , I still feel a bit lost . If you are saying what I think you are saying , I feel like you should ' ve said something simpler from the start , like Hey , my friend had the same problem as you . When he booted his iPad up and the progress bar loaded , nothing happened . Everything was back to how it was before , all safe and sound . So don ' t worry about it . Just let it load , and everything should be fine . Or something on the lines of that . I don ' t know , the way you said stuff , was confusing for me . Like in the beginning , it seemed like you were assessing my situation without any prior knowledge or experience and were just guessing what I should do , when you said stuff like that sounds like a really weird problem , or the loading bar is probably fine , or not really sure what to do besides try resetting it . And you seemed very vague with all your comments , that I felt like I had to keep asking you more and more questions , while confirming the facts , about the important details , and without ever getting a solid , reassuring answer . It was to the point , that I couldn ' t help but doubt the authenticity of what you were saying . Even now , I ' m still not 100 % sure I can even trust what you were saying , or if I really understand what you were saying . I don ' t know . Sorry if I ' m being rude . I really do appreciate you taking the time to help me . I ' m just still a bit confused and uncertain is all . So if I understand correctly , I can just let the iPad boot up and let the progress bar load , and most likely everything will be fine and nothing will have happened . However , there is still an off chance that something bad could happen , such as it crashing , or getting stuck in a bootloop . Only then , is there any cause for concern . If that happens , I guess I could try backing my data up on my computer , and then try semirestoring .
