Brand new ipad- it won't auto sync with my PC

I expected to pull out my brand new iPad and plug it into my laptop (windows) and it would be a simple automatic process to make them communicate. The iPad comes with this tiny card that makes it sound completely easy and automatic. That did not happen. I've re-booted my laptop and re-plugged in iPad. I've downloaded newest itunes. Nothing happens in my itunes to detect the iPad like it does when I plug in my ipod. The only thing on the iPad screen is a graphic of the USB cord pointing to and iTunes icon. then it goes black again.
Help! I'm very disappointed that I'm wasting so much time searching for help on something I've spent so much money to invest in, hoping it would simplify my life. So far, not so good.

Do you have any other iOS devices like an Iphone of ipod touch that connect to the computer? Also make sure your computer meets the minimum requirements, and make sure you're connecting to a 2.0 usb port directly on the computer, not on a hub.

My brand new iPad mini won't rotate I have done factory reset still not working. If I lock and unlock on landscape or portrait it remains in that mode. Any ideas pretty sure I've tried everything suggested.

My brand new iPad mini won't rotate done factory reset still not working. If I lock and unlock on landscape or portrait it remains in that mode. Any ideas pretty sure I've tried everything suggested such as off/on, reset, reboot, double checked lock off. It did work and I changed wallpaper and stopped motion, not sure if this related

Reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. Your iPad will reboot on its own. You will have to enter all of the device settings again, but no data will be lost.
I eould not spend a whole lot more time trying to fix this, if the device is really brand new. I would take it back to where you bought it, bring the box, the charger, the cable and your receipt and if they can't get it fixed, return it and get another one.

My brand new iPad 4 won't connect to iTunes on my PC.

My brand new iPad 4 won't connect to iTunes on my PC. When first connected to the USB port this mornng, iPad appeared under devices in iTunes, but it soon disappeared. I waited and reconnected using a different USB port, and "iPad" appeare for a short time, and I was able to transfer some files to my iPad. But the connection was broken again. This last attempt, "iPad" appeared for about 30 seconds, and then nothing. The iPad is two days old! What can I do?

Got a new iPad and set up to sync with iCloud and now asking for password which I never set. How do I get on device if I don't know what it thinks password is?

Help. I just got a new iPad 2 and set up sync with iCloud and no password. Now asking for a password and I never set one up. What password does it want: iTunes, iPhone (no real password there either). Tried as many passwords as I could think with the iPad locking me out since I don't have the password! Would like to use the iPad but can't get on to try it.
Thanks.
Desparate

So I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
Yes... sorry.
In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless > Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases

Brand new ipad 2 won't charge

Bought an iPad 2 in jan 2012. In Dec 2013 it stopped charging. Tried rebooting, lowering brightness and all the other tips but could not get it to reliably recharge. Took it back to retailer who checked the iPad with 2 other chargers and decided there was a fault with the internal charging unit in the iPad. Under the shop guarantee, they replaced the ipad, but this doesn't charge either? They did not replace the charging cable or plug. It's the original 10w charger. Does anyone have any idea as to why a brand new iPad 2 will not charge with a 10w charger?

1. Make sure battery is charged
2. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

Brand new iPad mini won't turn on

I just got a brand new iPad mini not even 24 hours ago. I've taken absolute perfect care of it and its been working fine, but I was just listening to music on it with the charger plugged in, and all of a sudden it just blacks out. I've tried everything including pressing the on/off and home buttons at the same time but nothing works. Please help!!!!!!!!

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

Brand new iPad mini won't connect to FaceTime

My brand new iPad mini just stays on connecting when I try to call anyone. Any ideas?

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5419
Read this. As of april 16 any device that uses facetime must be updated to a certain level. So it may be as simple as you or the person you're calling needing to update your device to iOS 7.1.1

I'm trying to get all of my information from my iPhone to my new iPad and I have both synced with I could but I am unable to get my apps/music/photos ect on my iPad

I am having trouble getting my apps/photos/music from my iPhone to my iPad. I have both synced to my I cloud but I cannot get anything to appear on my iPad

What exactly did you try? You have to restore the iPad from the phone backup and download the apps again if you are using iCloud. If you are using iTunes, the process is basically the same but you have to sync the apps back to the iPad.

Brand new iPad 2 won't turn on

I literally just bought my iPad 2 about 4 hours ago. It worked at the Apple store, and then when I turned it on at home, it worked for a grand total of 5 minutes before the screen went black. I haven't been able to turn it on since. I've already tried holding the sleep and home buttons for 10 - 15 seconds about 10 separate times and the apple logo never comes up. I've even held both buttons for over 2 minutes and still nothing. I tried this without the charger, then I did try to with the adapter plugged in. It's not even recognizing that it's being charged. That aside, the battery should already BE fully charged because when it was working an hour ago the battery sign said I had 76% left. I'm a little irritated since I just got it, but any suggestions, or did I just get a lemon?

You actually sound as though you're doing everything about right, with the following one suggestion: Plug it in to the Power Adapter and leave it plugged in for a good 20-30 minutes or until you see and hear it come back to life.
The iPad does go dark and silent when the battery goes completely flat and you really should confirm that that's not what's going on, regardless of whether or not you think that should be happening. For example, it's possible that your battery's metering was, is, out of whack.
Anyway, if that doesn't bring it back to life and you can't make it react at all, view it as a lemon and cart it back. It's rare to have that happen, but they are machines, built by men, and ...... you got lucky.

EDUCATION: Updated to new iPad iOS - can no longer sync with computer

I recently updated all of my class iPads (36) to the new iOS.
Now I can no longer sync them with the ONLY computer they have ever been sync'd with. I get a message that the iPad is "now associated" with another device (which it is NOT). I have never used Absolute App Manager, etc, just used VPP to sync.
HELP please.
Thank you
=(

Hi KChanOHS,
Hmmm… that is strange. Are you using the latest version of iTunes on your computer? If not, update it. Did you restore any backups from iCloud on any of these? Maybe with a different account?
I would troubleshoot this iTunes similar to how I would troubleshoot Apple Configurator… on a Mac OS X computer I would confirm that I'm logged on to the computer (not just iTunes) with the same account used when I set up the iPads… I would check file and folder permissions in my home directory to make sure I had read/write access to everything under /Users/<yourusername>… maybe even run a permissions repair using Disk Utility to make sure everything with the OS is running properly… beyond that, I don't know what else to try. I'd be tempted to back everything up, wipe the iPads clean, and start over. I knot that's not a "good" option, but if I could no longer sync I'd be tempted to start over.
On another note, we are coming up on summer vacation for students which is a good time to reevaluate processes and make changes. I often make a list of things I want to change with my deployment and implement them during school breaks. I recommend using Apple Configurator instead of iTunes to manage your classroom set of iPads. It is designed to manage multiple iPads whereas iTunes is more designed for a single user/device. Here are some links:

I have a brand new ipad with iOS 6.1.3 and an imac with OS 10.5.8. I cannot update my OS on this machine, but want to sync the new ipad. What can I do?

If it's an Intel Mac, you can upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.6.8.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, you need to use these instructions and/or iTunes Match to put content on the iPad.

I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? Please help!

I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

Itunes will no longer sync my music to my brand new iPad.

Itunes will no longer sync to my brand new iPad. Synched with old one just fine. Goes through process and finishes but still no music and no error. Tried selecting specific artists or songs and same. Have lastest software on both. Running Windows 7 Ultimate. Tried reinstalling iTunes, nothing is working. I had previously used iTunes Match but that was locking up my computer so I've since turned it off on the iPad so that I could have all of my music, not just the 300 or so that Match decided to add. I'm really frustrated with these latest software updates, what the heck is going on over there?

when you open the sync option go to pictures and make sure all of them are checked

Brand new iPad fails sync due to "computer no longer authorized"

Hello all,
I have a brand new iPad 64GB that I can't sync to my existing iTunes library. Every time I try, I get an error that says, "The iPad could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPad." In iTunes, I go to Store > Authorize This Computer, and that dialog says that my computer is already authorized. Then I try to sync again and end up with the "no longer authorized" error again.
So what is in the default load of a new iPad that iTunes doesn't think I've paid for?
The same iTunes (for Windows, version 11.1.5.5) has no trouble syncing my iPod Touch, iPod Nano, and several Shuffles. So why is it barfing on the iPad?
Any advice greatly appreciated,
BD

May be some help here.
