IPad 1 disabled, not recognized when plugged in to any computer

I have an iPad 1 and I've been trying to get this fixed for about 2 days. It gives this message "iPad is disabled, try again in 23 million minutes" and whenever i plug it in to any computer it says "USB device not recognized". I also tried DFU mode and it still does it. Is there ANY way to restore the iPad ON the device. Or is there any way to get it fixed?

No, check this:
Media you've bought from the iTunes Store or songs you've imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default. They won't be deleted by removing iTunes. Although it's highly unlikely that you'll lose any of your iTunes Library when following the steps below, first make sure that your iTunes library is backed up. See iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive for more information.

  • My ipad 3 is not charging when plugged to pc

    my ipad 3 is not charging when plugged to pc, and it wouldn't sync in itunes as well, it's been like this since I first got it. it does charge when it's plugged into a wall with a 10W power adapter

    From here :
    The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W 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. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
    For syncing, is iTunes on your computer the latest version ? There is some troubleshooting on this page.

  • My new iPad mini will not charge when plugged into adapter. Any suggestions?

    my new ipad mini will not charge when plugged into adapter. What should I try?

    Does the charger get warm at all? Plug the cable into your computer with iTunes open. Does it say not charging.? If it does, the cable is good. The iPad will charge very slowly when pluged into your computer.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W 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.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.

  • Disabled ipod not recognized when plugged back in to itunes.

    Daughter's disabled ipod (second time) is not recognized when we follow instructions to enable it and plug into itunes.

    HT1808 is the article you need to follow. You need the section labeled "Placing the device into recovery mode."
    You need to power the device off. Once the device is off press and hold the Home button or the button on the front of the device and while holding the Home button plug in the device and continue holding the home button until you see the image below.

  • Computer says usb/device not recognized when plugged in??

    When I plug in my sons ipod nano 7th generation, just recently says usb/device not recognized and doesn't light up when plugged into the wall either??? Any suggestions??

    This came from another thread, but worked for me.  Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62.  Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update).  Reboot, and reinstall iTunes.  It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano.  Good luck.

  • Buffalo Linkstation is not recognized when plugged directly into mac

    I recently received a Buffalo Linkstation and tried setting it up, when i got it all up and running, the lights come on, but it won't connect to my mac, it's connected via ethernet cable
    I do not have it plugged into a router and don't want to go get one, I have two wireless routers, but when i first used one for both the internet and the linkstation, it was too slow, and when i tried using one for the internet and one for the linkstation, they interfere with each other and defeat the purpose.
    I just want it to go from the hard drive to the mac, then when i get it all set up, i'll add a printer
    I know this defeats the purpose of the networking capability and that i should just go get an external hard drive, but I did have one and it stopped working, so i sent it in and got this.
    Any help whatsoever would be appreciated

    I've never seen one of these puppies but your question
    was intriguing so I looked at Bufflalo Technology's web
    site. They claim to have a built-in ftp server, and that
    sounds like how you're gonna connect. The first thing to
    do is figure out the linkstation's ip address. Hopefully the
    default will be listed in the manual, or maybe you set it
    in the setup process. Otherwise, you've got to search
    your network for port 21. If it gets its ip address via DHCP,
    you need a DHCP server in the mix. I bet your wireless
    router has one, and you could use it to get you going.
    Once you have the ip address, you can mount the device
    in the Finder using Command-K and entering
    ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip address.
    Good luck!

  • Toshiba backup drive not recognized when plugged into thunderbolt display.

    My Toshiba backup drive does not mount to my MacBookPro when plugged into my Thunderbolt Display. It works beautifully when plugged directly into my MBP, and other USB devices work beautifully when plugged into the same USB ports on the Thunderbolt Display.
    All my equipment is pretty new. The Toshiba is currenlty configured to be my Time Machine back up drive.
    Laptop: 15" Macbook Pro, 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 100 MHz DDR3, Mac OS 10.8.5
    Backup Drive: Toshiba 500GB Canvio® Basics USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive
    Apple Thunderbolt Display: 2560 x 1440, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB graphics
    When I plug the backup drive into the TB Display, usually nothing happens. The blue light on the drive doesn't come on, and it doesn't mount to the desktop. If I wiggle the USB back there, sometimes the blue light will come on, and sometimes it will mount for a minute then go away. This is true for all 3 USB ports. I have not had problems with any other USB devices, but the only other ones I've plugged into the Thunderbolt are my keyboard, bluetooth headset charger, and other items that probably use less power than the backup drive.

    But the cable works when plugged into my laptop. Plus, the cable connection is pretty specific to the device; I'm not sure if you can buy another one seperately.

  • My IPad Retnia does not charge when plugged in using the USB from my computer to car adapter, how can I fix this to be able to have flexibility in charging?

    When I plug me IPad into the USB connector to my laptop or into my car charger, it show as not charging. How can I fix this so that I can charge my Pad in these settings?

    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.)
    And this - Unplug the charger from the iPad and then replug. May resume charging.
    Or - Recalibrate the battery. See link below.
    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.

  • Headphones Not Recognized When Plugged in, Internal Speakers Won't Mute

    Hi all, I've scoured these message boards looking for a solution to this problem, but couldn't find a solution that worked.  Hopefully someone can!
    Toshiba Satellite C655-S5312
    Edition: Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1
    Processor: Intel(R) Pentium (R) CPU B950@ 2.10GHZ 
    Installed Memory: 4.00 GB
    System Type: 64-bit Operating System
    The problem I'm having is that my computer won't recognize my headphones or any other external audio device when I plug them in. The internal speakers continue to play no matter what. I used the jack fine one night and the next morning it wasn't working. I've checked these external devices with other computers and they work fine.  My computer is just over a year old and no longer under warranty, but I can't imagine it being a hardware issue after such a short time of use.    I had this problem before right after I got my computer back from a repair shop.  Turns out the guy didn't reinstall my drivers.  Now, when I tried to follow those same steps, I'm getting nowhere.  I can say that I noticed that the available drivers on the Toshiba website have changed.  Before it was RealTek and now, after updates, it' was SmartAudioHD and now High Definition Audio Device.  I don't know if that bears any significance, but I thought I'd include that anyway.  I've tried uninstalling the driver, but everytime I restart my computer it's there under Audio Device Manager.  Tech Support said that my comp automatically adds the driver so I'll never really get rid of it.  Does that make sense?  
    Troubleshooting steps so far:
    1.) Uninstall and reinstall drivers (restarted my computer after)
    2.)  Control Panel--->  Device Manager---> Sound, Video Games and Game Controllers---> High Definition Audio Device (was SmartAudio before updating driver during troubleshooting)---->right click and "Enable" is checked
    3.)  Control Panel---> Sound---> Playback Tab (in Sound Dialog Box)---> Speakers (HDAD) green check mark but Headphones (HDAD) red downward arrow and "Not Plugged In" (Can enable or test because it's not detected)
    Am I missing a driver?  Am I missing a vital step?  Please someone help me! 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you are using Windows 7, go into control panel click on sounds and make headphones default. When you are not using your headphones you will have to do this procedure again to restore speakers on the laptop or computer. I am using Microsoft Gaming Headphones and had to do this because my toshiba laptop did not recognize it was plugged into the USB port. I have no problems with the plain speaker headphones only the ones that plug into the usb port.

  • IPod touch black screen, not recognized when plugged in

    I just brought myself an iPod touch 4th gen so I decided I would give my old one to my brother so I was clearing it off for him and some other things when I accidentally pulled it out of the computer I then pressed the sleep button to turn it on but the screen remained black so I tried plugging it back
    In the computer but it shows it as a unknown device then I tried plugging it into the wall charger which didn't work either. My friend thinks it might be in dfu mode but if it was wouldn't the computer still recognize it? Any suggestions? Please and thank you :)

    Google for a third-party repair place or sent it to Appe. See:

  • Nano 7th generation not recognized when plugged in

    I just bought a new Nano and when I plugged it into my PC, nothing happened but the iPod turning on. I have gone through the tutorials on troubleshooting this situation, but nothing has helped. I have no problems plugging in my older iPod shuffle.
    I have tried every USB port on my computer, I have tried resetting my iPod and restarting my computer. I even made a new Apple ID thinking I needed 1 per device. I was going to re-install iTunes but my computer wasn't cooperating.
    Any suggestions? The device never even asked me to name it and it doesn't show up on the list on the left side of the screen within iTunes.

    I re-installed iTunes twice and found other tutorials that should've helped. Now when I start iTunes it says that it recognizes there is an iPod plugged in but it can't be identified. When I run a diagnostic test, it fails to recognize the iPod is connected.
    Any thougts? This seems to be a common problem.
