Ipad is not recognizing charger

In just the last couple days I have found my iPad no longer is reconginzing connection with the 30-pin connector. This results in an inability to charge the device. I have been through different computers, chargers, and cables (several). I know this started within the last couple days as I still have 33% charge left on the device.
I don't see any connection to the device from iTunes or through Xcode, and have yet to find a related log report to a failed connection in the Console.
I have tried, soft power downs and cold restarts of the iPad. Does anyone have any experience or recommendations for what might be the issue? (I am an hour from any Apple Store, so it is not just a quick visit to go there).
The device is going to become a brick if I can't get it charged - which would be sad as I don't see any other issues with it.
Thank you.

Try a different cable. If that doesn't work, then you shoudl find time for that drive. Occasionally the 30 pin USB does die. It happened to mine. I took it back to Best Buy and they ended up exchanging it for me, but it's nothing user servicible.
So if you're replicated it with multiple cords, multiple computers and multiple chargers (multiple meaning more than one ) then the problem is likely your iPad, and as long as it's within that year's warranty with no obvious signs of abuse or damage, it should be covered under manufacturer's defects and replaced.

IPad mini not recognized by itunes 10.6.1 (7)?

Why is new ipad mini not recognized by iTunes 10.6.1 (7)? Running OSX 10.5.8 software on the Mac. Software updates both report: "up to date"

Sorry, but you need iTunes 11 which requires OS 10.6 or higher and a Mac with an Intel processor. In other words, you need a newer Mac.

Pages for iPad is not recognizing the password I assigned to a document. I included a hint, and I know I am entering the password that goes with the hint. Is there anything I can do to access my doc?

Pages for iPad is not recognizing the password I assigned to a document. I included a hint, and I know I am entering the password associated with the hint. Is there anything I can do to access my document? i quite the Pages app and restarted it. Now I guess I'll reset the iPad and see if that helps. Thanks!

Interesting that one does not need the password to delete using Finder.
The Pages password protects the contents of the document. If there were a Finder password, it would protect what you might think of as the "file wrapper" ... the stuff around the file content.
Glad it's not vital. I have to say I only pasword protect those Pages documents that are, in fact, vital.
Best of luck.

IPad OS7 not recognized by iTunes 11.1.5.5

I have switched to iOS7 on my iPad) and to 11.1.5.5 for iTunes on my PC (Windows 8).
iTunes and iPad work properly, however when connected to the PC my iPad is not recognized by iTunes anymore. The iPad is recognized by Wndows, i can see it as Apple iPad and not with the name of my Ipad. I have already reinstalled iTunes but still no connection.
Thanks for suggestions.

Solution found: i removed all apple applications (config pannel + uninstall pgms) and reinstalled the old version of itunes again. Now the iPad was identified by Windows correctly as well as by iTunes. After that I reinstalled again iTunes 11.1.5.5 and everything is working well now.

Suddenly my ipad is not recognized in itunes ?

Suddenly my ipad is not recognized in itunes and claims to a need to be restored.
How do I solve this without loosing data on my ipad ?
I cannot communicate with my ipad anymore. It's indicating to be connected to itunes.

If that is what the message on the screen is, you have no choice but to restore the iPad. If you don't have a backup, you will lose everything on the iPad. That's why you should always backup your important data and your camera roll photos.
You can read how to do it here. Pay attention to the last part of the article about using recovery mode. You might need to restore that way.

Quit iTunes, restart your Mac and then restart the iPad and see if the iPad is recognized after that. If not, you can look through these articles.

Ipad not recognizing charger nor computers

My Ipad does not recognize my computers therefore I cannot reset all contents and settings from Itunes. It does only recognize the charger after holding down the home and sleep buttons but on the right top corner I read "not charging". When I put it to sleep it charges and have 100% charge in the morning.
I've tried several times the procedure of holding down simultaneously the home and sleep buttons while connecting to the computers but zip, nada! Neither Itunes or the computers recognize Ipad. No probs what so ever with Iphone.
My question: do I dear reseting all contents and settings from the Ipad menu and expect it to connect to the computer? I'm far away from home in a country where Ipad has not yet been introduced so I'm a bit aprehensive about the procedure. But because Ipad charges when restarted I'm beginning to think it's a software issue and it MIGHT connect to Itunes after reseting everything from the Ipad's reset menu.
This issue began after updating a couple, three apps the same day I discovered the problem so it makes me wonder...
All comments are welcome! Thanks

I'm posting this in hope of potentially helping others with the same problem if it occurs.
Although none of my computers recognise the Ipad, it will actually start up after turning it off when connecting the usb cable to a computer but that's it. Still no recognition. I'm starting to think it's not a hardware issue.
So i'm building up the courage to reset all contents and settings from within the Ipad's general settings to see what happens. I've just found an authorized Apple service center in Sweden who has agreed to take in my Ipad and exchange it for a new device if they identify the problem as being hardware based.

Start with something very simple. Quit iTunes, restart the Mac and reboot the iPad.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't work, look here for other suggestions.

IPad 2 not recognized on iTunes

This evening I had problems starting apps as the memory was full. I plugged the iPad into the PC and started iTunes. All looked good and 'normal' so I started to delete some of the kids game apps.
A message then came up to update the iPad iOS software. When I selected that it said the iTunes software needed updating so I selected that too. After about ten minutes of file downloads it then showed error 3004. I followed all instructions given by Apple. One helpful Apple message sends to the iPad but the iPad is now stuck on the black screen with the blue iTunes connect logo.
iTunes doesn't see the device, even when asking for a reboot. I tried a system reset to yesterday but that failed too.
Any one know a way of getting the iPad to get off the blue iTunes connect screen without smashing the thing?
