How do I get my IPad to work!  It won't update or restore in ITunes.

My IPad will not work.  It will not update or restore through ITunes.

Howdy Nozynan,
The articles linked below detail a number of steps and a host of information that can help get your iTunes to successfully update or restore your iPad in iTunes.

    If you have iOS 5 installed on it, you don't need a PC.  simply turn it on and set it up.
    if you don't have iOS 5 then you'll need a computer.

    How do I get my iPad to work. It won't slide to unlock

    Push harder! 
    Seriously...
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    You must restore the iPad with iTunes.

    My iPad2 works great now after IOS 8.1 Update
    I did my iPad2 update thru iTunes on my iMac and it was sucking the iMacs memory very low during the update. Safari froze before loading the first web page and I did a hard boot and went fishing as I saw where it was going to take a long time to recover. When I tried again it wasn't quite right and then did one more hard boot and then did a Reset by going to General-Reset-"Reset all Settings" and it works real well now without loosing any data and in-home wi-fi clocks at 17Mbps download. Probably like most of you I’m sticking with OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks as it gets the job done very nicely and don’t need all that extra fancy stuff that probably will slow things down.

  • My iPad2 side switch is acting up, it will only allow me to have either sound or rotate. If I unmute the rotate won't work, if I mute the rotate works. How can I get the iPad to unmute and rotate? I have restored, downloaded updates and rebooted.

    You should be able to control the function that the side switch isn't controlling via the left-hand end of the taskbar : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085 - is the icon that appears there (notification mute or rotation lock) indicating that that function is 'off' ?

    how manage to get my apple TV2 working with a nas like buffalo...

    ATV2 should browse shared iTunes libraries in the same network.
    Problem started when ATV only supports Apple home sharing.
    I agree it would be nice if it worked with these NAS based iTunes servers but it doesn't, so if that's a necessity you would be better off looking at a media player from someone else and not purchasing DRM protected incompatible content from iTunes.
    AppleTv 1 did not use home sharing and it didn't work with NAS itunes either.
    We really need an Apple branded NAS that could home share, either that or they need to license the technology to 3rd parties, but frankly I can't see either happening.
    Running a computer 24/7 is not ideal and one area where AppleTV1 was better in that you could store content on it's internal drive.

  • How do I get my ipad charger working when i've only had it for 3 months

    I plugged my ipad in when it said low battery. Then it got very hot and said unable to support this device. Then i thought it might be the outlet, so i plugged it in somewhere else. When I left in alone for about, 5 minutes and came back to check on it, The ipad was dead plugged in. I got this ipad in November and the charger came with it, the ipad was brand new and not used! So i have no idea why it is not working! and if anyone has any idea please help. Also I am unable to go to a store to see what the problem is, because of the current snow storm!
    Thank you,
    LOLAJEAN7

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

    In the meantime....
    Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.htmlhttp://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • My iPad is disabled and it says to connect to iTunes with my Mac. Its not working. How can I get my iPad to work?

    My iPad is  disabled and it says to connect to ITunes with my Mac. It still is not working.

    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.
