FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

  • IPad 2 will not start

    My iPad 2 will not start.  I get the apple logo, then the rotating wheel and then it goes back to the apple logo and starts the process all over again.  I have held down both the sleep button and the home button for over 10 seconds at a time, even going up to 1 minute, but no change.  Battery is charged.  There is no slide to off screen available.  I have tried to plug it into iTunes, but iTunes will not do anything without me entering the pass code on the iPad.  I cannot get to the pass code screen?  Any suggestions?  I was uploading to the cloud, but I can't find that available to me either!

    Unfortunately, this may be the only way that you can bypass this whole loop that you are in - by connecting to a computer that is running iTunes so that you can restore the iPad using recovery mode.
    You can use any computer to do this, but you will lose all of the content on the iPad. On the bright side - since you are using iCloud, this should not affect your backup. After you restore the iPad, you can restore from your iCloud backup and you should be OK.
    An Apple Store should probably be able to do this for you. Make an appointment at a Genuis Bar. Or if you know somebody else with a computer running iTunes, you can restore the iPad on their computer.

  • HT1386 iPad Air will not sync; message appears that sync server failed to sync the iPad

    New iPad Air will not sync contacts and calendars to Outlook.  Set up device in December, tried to sync today, Feb. 8th, after updating to iTunes 11.1.4.62; message appeared that iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPad because the sync server failed to sync the iPad.  Uninstalled 11.1.4.62 and installed 11.1.3.8 and still would not sync.  Synced an earlier generation iPad about 2 hrs. earlier today.  What do I need to do?

    I'm having a similar problem ... just used my iPad 2 to purchase the Bourne trilogy and it downloaded fine but I did not try to play it right away.  Then I plugged the iPad into the computer and it downloaded the SD versions of the movie and I used iTunes to sync my movies.  Then I tried to play it and it said it could not open the movie.  I then did a full iPad restore and did a fresh sync and now I get the Cannot Opne pop up.  Did you ever find an answer to your question?

  • My iPad air would not start.  Only show the apple logo then no reaction after that.

    My iPad air would not start.  Only show the apple logo then no reaction after that.  This is already the 2nd time.  Last time I sent back to the service center and they said it is the system problem and reset the system and charge me for the service because they said it is not a hardware problem.  It happened less then 30 days and same problem again.  Can someone please send me the hard-reset step so I can try myself before I send back to the service center again?  thanks

  • My iPad air will not charge connected to my monitor or my computer. Why?

    My iPad air will not charge connected to my monitor or my computer. Why?

    Short answer:  Computer USB ports don't deliver as much power as the power adapter that comes with the iPad.
    Details:
    Full size iPads come with either a 10W or 12W power adapter.  The mini comes with a 5W power adapter.
    See iPhone, iPad, iPod: Using iPad Power Adapters
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4327
    USB ports on computers deliver 2.5W (USB 2, 500mA x 5v) or 4.5W (USB 3, 900mA x 5v).
    Newer Macs with high power ports can deliver 5.5W (1100mA x 5v).
    See Apple Computers and Displays: Powering peripherals through USB
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4049
    If you connect your (full size) iPad to a computer USB port, it may charge slowly, but since it's getting less than half the normal charging power, it may say "not charging".  It may charge slowly or it may not depending on use (screen brightness, processor load, etc.).  If you really want to charge it from the computer, put the iPad to sleep.
    The best charging solution is to use the Power Adapter that came with the iPad.

  • My new IPad Air will not rotate screen

    My new ipad air will not rotate screens.  I am trying the lock or unlock but it makes no difference.

    Check out this link for operation of the side switch:

    Also, pull up Control Center (swipe up from just above the Home button) and check the screen lock there (it should be at the top-left of the Control Center and looks like a padlock with a circular arrow).

  • HT5172 iPad Air will not charge on my computer

    iPad Air will not charge when I plug it into the USB port . Operating system vista.

    That's normal. Most USB ports don't put out enough power to meet the iPad's requirements. It may say not charging although it is getting a trickle charge.
    Your iPad is best charged with its supplied power brick plugged into the wall.

  • Ipad air will not turn on past apple logo and there is a blue flash and then it's restarts again

    my iPad air will start loading but will not make it past the apple logo. in which the screen turns blue and then in restarts from the beginning any help will be greatly appreciated

    Try to force it into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the USB cord. Press and hold the home button while plugging in the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Then you can restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
