IPad 1 dock connector seems to not work

Hello everybody.
Yesterday, when I tried to recharge my iPad battery, I noticed that the device did not become aware of the fact it was connect to AC.
I used the original dock-to-usb cable connected to the original usb-to-plug adapter.
Ok, don't panic. I tried to connect my iPad to my PC. Same thing: the PC did not recognise the device and the device did not recognise the PC.
I tried turning the device into DFU mode: nothing.
Ok ok. In the meanwhile, the battery went to zero percent and the iPad turned off. I tried connecting the device to AC and, magically, the battery was charging! The device was in charging mode: black screen and red battery with the power sign below.
As soon as the device switched from charging mode to operative mode, the iPad stopped recognising the power.
I'm depressed. I think it's a software issue. I tried resetting my iPad using the proper function in the settings menu but it did not work.
I cannot restore it thru iTunes because the PC do not recognise the device.
What should I do?
PS: The device mounts the original latest firmware and it's out of warranty. My PC runs Windows 7 x64.

I suspect it's a software issue because the problem only happens when the device is in the "operative" mode.
The charging thing works fine when the device is in "charging-only" mode.
However I'll take the device to an Apple retail shop.
How does the assistance work? Do they take 250 bucks for any kind of issue?

  • My ipad 4th gen touch screen is not working in one area

    I had a screen replacement and now the Ipad 4th gen touch screen is not working in one area ( a strip across the middle). We tried 3 different touch screens with digitizer...any ideas?

    Since Apple doesn't replace screens, they replace the iPad, I presume you had your screen replaced by an unauthorized service provider or perhaps you replaced it yourself. That voids the warranty and the ability to get assistance from Apple. If someone else replaced your screen take it back to them and demand the correct the problem.

  • Hello I am using Ipad 4 and its charger is not working while I was using it few days before and it was working properly now it says that the cable does not support this Ipad Please Help me out.

    Hello I am using Ipad 4 and its charger is not working while I was using it few days before and it was working properly now it says that the cable does not support this Ipad Please Help me out.

    Try a reset:
    - Hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time. When the Apple logo appears release both buttons then try and charge again.
    If issue persists try:
    - Another known working cable
    - Check the charging port for any damage or debris
    - You could also use a dry soft bristle toothbrush and gently brush it on the port to clean it of any debris that could be in there

  • IPad touch-screen sensor the does not work on one part of displey

    I have problem with a part of the screen on my iPad. It seems like the sensor on the screen does not work. When draging items or webpages through that section, the dragging stops. It looks like the screen is not detecting my fingers on that part. Part of the screen that is not working is about 1 cm wide. iPad is 1 month old.

    Had the same issue with a 1cm strip from top to bottom (portrait) not responding.  I did a backup, a complete factory reset, and then a restore of the backup.  So far it seems to be working again!!

  • Where can I buy an ipad 2 dock connector that has a release on it?

    Hi all,
    I'm looking for a dock connector for the ipad 2 that has a "release" or locking mechanism in it. We do a lot of presentations, and the normal ones fall out constantly even when taping them up. I know they do exist as i've seen them before, but I've been unable to find them using google.
    Any help anyone can be on this would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Yes I did, but I really do not feel good knowing that I have a packet with a pricey thing in it, (bought from eBay) shipping here.  I considered Amazon too. And lastly, does the device have an international guarantee?

  • Dock dissapear, Exposse, Spaces not work

    Dock is dissapear, Exposse and Spaces not work, i had repaired permissions from disk utillity but all is de the same, restart and all is not working, command + tab either work, and if a try to minimizar a window nothings happend

    I am experiencing this same problem. I have been fine for a few weeks after my Leopard update, but then all of a sudden today I could not find my dock. I wasn't able to get it back at all, so I tried to shut down. It would not shut down so I had to do a hard shut down by holding in the power button. When it rebooted, the dock was still non-existent. I did some googling and learned it might be a corrupt preference. I then deleted the preferences, and immediately a dock (the original default installed) came up. It seemed ok for about 30 seconds, then it quit, and keeps flashing, reappearing, poking out. I deleted the preferences again, same result.
    I ran disk utility. It found some permissions problems and "repaired" them. Now the activity monitor shows that my dock is starting and quitting, as stated above, and I can't see it at all. It's gone.
    I am pretty upset about this, I rely on the dock heavily for my drag and drop applications in CS3.
    Any solutions to this yet?

  • IPhone 4S, dock connector broke, warranty not honored

    I went to your Apple Store on 5656 Bay Street. Emeryville, CA 94608 because the outlet connector on my iPhone 4S broke -I have had the phone for less than a year (still in warranty). This is a plastic piece inside the base of the phone and I have just used it in the normal way, connecting and disconnecting the device when it needed to be charged. I had been sent by my phone's carrier, AT&T, to the Apple store to get the phone fixed or replaced under the warranty, yet Apple answered that it was a physical problem and I should have to pay $200 to purchase a new iPhone. They tried to tell me repeatedly that the phone had water damage and that it would therefore not be covered under warranty. My phone has never had any water damage to my knowledge, nor was there any problem with the phone's function. It is and has been a perfect phone. It is simply a piece of the phone that broke off due to normal necessary charging. After even speaking with a manager they told me that if I was not happy with the quality of the device I could buy from another brand. My husband was going to buy a new iPhone 5 but after this experience she is thinking to by a Samsung Gallaxy instead. I still have my contract with AT&T and I will have to pay $200 if I decide to break the contract with them. At AT &T, they told me that after 30 days of purchase the warranty of the phone is covered by Apple and they will not do anything for me too. This is extremely upsetting to me. The normal cost for a new iPhone 4S is around $700; their product broke and they are refusing to fix it for me. I would like this complaint to go on record.
    In the last 10 years I have only buy Apple computers (two mac book pro's), other two mac books, mostly all the ipods since the first generation and I was very happy with the service and the quality of mostly all their products but in the last year this was the second issue I have with them. The first one with my Mac Book Pro overheating because a factory defect in the graphic card cost me $300, and now this one still in warranty it supposes to cost me $200. I don't think that Apple is having economy problems to just get honored their warranty. I understand if they don't fix the phone if it has a physical damage for bad use but conecting the phone to charge it?. I was felt so bad with their behaviour that the first I did when I got home was to put a complaint in the Federal Trade Commission (first time ever). I have always defend the quality of Apple products and service, but I think that is all gone.

    The phone has never been around any water and anyway the iphone is in working conditions, the only problems is the dock connector ins partially problem, it can be charged but the data sync is not working well and I'm afraid it will broke more until it couldn't be charged. If there is any water damaged (I don't think so), the only explaination is humidity, anyway the iphone is working, I don't even why he told us that because that wasn't anything in relationship with the physical damage.
    Thank you anyway for your answer.

  • IPad connected to TV using dim not working with iOS 7.0.2

    Since updating my iPad to iOS 7.0.2, connecting my iPad 4 using hdmi to my tv is not working.
    In fact, when connected, everything on my iPad is in slow motion. The iPad moves in slow motion. And there is no image being mirrored on the tv. This use to work fine before the update. Any ideas?

    (A) Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
    Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

  • IPad Mini 2 security feature is not working as claimed!

    I recently bought my iPad Mini2 (Retina Display – 64GB with T-Mobile service; Serial #DLXLPCE1FLMP) and less than 2 weeks of usage - it has been stolen on December 3, 2013 at airport.  I put my iPad Mini2 on “airplane” mode (no internet service) to save the life of the battery while on the plane and never turn it back on when landed...  I had my iPad Mini2 in my purse when landed in ATL… I picked up my luggage – walking and standing in the crowds…  When I got home, that’s when I realized my iPad Mini2 was no longer in the purse. 
    The next thing I tried to do was “Find My iPhone” option from my other Apple device (iPad2) to locate the missing iPad Mini2 but it’s showing as “offline”.  I then issued “Play Sound”, “Lost Mode” and “Erase iPad” from the “Find My iPhone” feature (see screenshot).  Since the device was offline, the “Erase iPad” function will not work until it’s online.  It was updated with the iOS 7
    I’ve been calling AppleCare Support and at the Apple Store (in person) for help of how ensure that my credential on that iPad Mini2 will not be stolen as well.  They ensured me that since I issued the “Lost Mode” and “Erase iPad”, no one can access to the device to turn off the “Airplane” mode in order to get the internet… not even through my 4-digit security code.  They were wrong! Somehow my device was security breach and that my iPad Mini2 was ERASED at 2:33 AM (Eastern Time) – meaning that whoever has my device had it disabled the “airplane” mode and had internet signal in order for the data to be erased (see screenshot).  I spoke to multiple representatives from Apple and they said that it shouldn’t happen…  I was on the phone for hours and no resolution as far as security goes.
    I’ve tried my best to recover the item but it looks like it belongs into a wrong hand.  I want Apple to replace my newly purchased  iPad Mini2 (Retina Display – 64GB with T-Mobile service) because the Security is not working as claimed…
    Very unhappy customer!!!

    Good luck with that.

  • My computer crashed hard drive was replaced and now I have lost my music.  Am trying to sync with my music from my iPad and iPhone but it is not working what is the problem

    I need help please!  My computer crashed lost all data including my music.  Want to sync music from my ipad and/or iphone but it is not working.  What could be the problem how do I tackle it?

    Syncing only works from your computer to your iPad/iPhone, not the other way around.  So you can only transfer your purchased music from the iPhone to your computer.

    My computer crashed lost all data including my music.
    How bad was the crash? Had the drive to be replaced? Or is there a possibility to use data recovery software on that drive?
