IPad 3G no longer detected by iTunes (Win Vista), only charging when battery V. Low

This appears to be a software issue: my iPad 3G (32GB) is not detected by iTunes (yet my iPhone is), nor by Windows Vista.  Furthermore, it does not charge from the wall charger until it shuts down in low battery, and only charges to 2%, after which it switches on again.  Tried switching off and charging, which only causes it to switch back on again.  Also tried cold resetting, but problem persists.  Was working fine previously, no updates, additions or subtractions were made to either PC OS, iPad or iTunes immediately before problem started... and there doesn't seem to be any mention of this on the internets (including this forum).  Any suggestions? 

Soft boot, hold down top button and middle bottom button at the same time, with the iPhone connected to your computer and iTunes will recognize the phone on reboot.

  • IPad suddenly no longer detected by iTunes

    The cable works on my iPhone 5, so it's not the USB port nor the cable itself. My iPhone 5 and iPhone 4 are both recognized by iTunes and iPhoto, however suddenly today I couldn't sync my iPad.
    Any solutions, gratefully accepted.
    Thanks.

    Cheers. Leroy. At the very same moment that you posted this... I discovered the answer: jamming the cable into the iPad a tad harder than normal. Months of air travel and general knocking around of the device has obviously made the connection a bit tetchy. I'm very shame-faced for such a schoolgirl error!
    So, again, thanks for your support. Much appreciated.

  • Why my 4s cannot automatically connect itunes ? is only charging.

    why my iphone 4s cannot automatically connect or sync to itunes ? is only charging when the cable connected.

    The quickest 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 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 will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes.

    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.

    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    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.

    Nonsense, and very misleading advice.  I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4  through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones.  Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either.  Hack your phone and have update problems?  I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates.

    Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
    As per the forum term of service you can't get help here.  Use google.
    that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

  • Iphone is no longer detected on itunes/computer it is synched with.

    One of my Iphones is no longer detected by the itunes/computer that it is synched with.  The computer/itunes does detect other devices.  The iphone in question is able to be detected on another computer/itunes.
    I updated software oof iphone on another computer.  I updated itunes on the computer that does not detect the phone.  I rebooted both.  I tried software conflict.
    Does anyone have an idea how to resolve?  I have all of my contacts, apps, photos, music etc on that computer. 
    When I updated phone software on another computer to see if that was the problem it wiped out all music,apps, photos etc on the phone.  I have thee devices with one apple id and they are synched to different computers. 

    You should try another USB cable, charging and sending data through the cable is not completely the same, sending data is using other contacts inside the plug or docking connector.

  • Ipad 1 no longer connects to itunes

    Updated both my iTunes to the most current and my iPad 1 to 5.1.1. Now it no longer connects to iTunes and gets an error message.

    Howdy Graham Burnette,
    It sounds like you’re tapping Trust when you see the Trust This Computer alert on your iPad, but the device isn’t appearing in iTunes. Take a look at the two articles linked below, and Reset Location & Privacy settings if you see the alert each time you connect your iPad to your iMac, then follow the suggestions in the second article to resolve the iPad recognized by iTunes issue.
    'Trust This Computer' alert on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you tap Trust, the computer will be trusted until you untrust all computers or you erase the device. If you tap Don't Trust, you'll see this alert each time you connect your device to that computer.
    If you're using iOS 8 or later: To untrust all computers, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy. This will also reset your location and privacy settings. You can also untrust all computers by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will also reset your network settings.

  • I have dropped my ipad and have cracked the screen. Now the ipad will no longer detect or connect to wifi signals. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated

    I have dropped my ipad and shattered the screen badly. A new problem that has only come since the cracking of the screen is that the ipad will now no longer detect or connect to ipad signals. I have tried all the solutions i have found online but none worked.

    It will cost approximately US$219 to US$299 depending on the model.
    Apple will replace the entire iPad; they don't repair.
    If you had purchased AppleCare+ when you bought the device, you would be entitled to up to two replacements over a 2 year period for $49 each.

  • IPad Gen 1 Not detected in iTunes or Computer

    Yesterday I purchased an iPad Gen 1 running iOS 5.1.1 (Model: A1337
    Upon plugging it into my laptop running Windows 8.1, it was never detected either in my computer or in iTunes
    I am running the latest version of iTunes 12, and my laptop is running Windows 8.1 with all of the required and optional updates.
    Steps I have undertaken:
    Restarting my iPad
    Restarting my Computer
    Swapping the USB cable (tried 3 of my cables and they work fine with my iPhone 4S running 7.0.1)
    Tried connecting into the other USB ports
    Uninstalling and Reinstalling iTunes
    Tried connecting my iPad to another two computers (One Windows 7, one windows 8)
    I have tried ALL of the steps outlined HERE: iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
    I have tried using msconfig and running iTunes in Safe Mode
    I have tried Restarting, and starting the Apple Services, Bonjour Service etc
    I have deleted iTunes, Bonjour, iCloud, and all Apple related folders (in Program data) and emptying the Recycle Bin
    Things of Note:
    My iPad does not appear in Device manager in ANY category (not even as an unknown device), so Updating Device Drivers is not an option
    Any help would be appreciated
