iPad itunes crashes while restoring ipad

[Steve-Jobs]

Hi all, I'm trying to restore my iPad to latest firmware but while downloading the firmware iTunes crashed and quit. now my iPad stuck in 'connect to iTunes' mode and every time I plug my iPad and turn iTunes on, iTunes keeps crashing.
Anyone can help? Tried DFU mode but can't pass 'connect to iTunes' screen.

Cheers

Edit: I'm using Yosemite. Do you think it culd be the problem? did exactly the same thing with my iphone the other day worked fine.

Ok I just found a solution. Apparently it's a bug in Yosemite and doesn't allow idevice to kick out of recovery mode. I revert back to Mavericks and did a system update. It's working fine now.
If you have a similar issue try it.

Cheers
