    you said you uninstalled iTunes. Did you follow this article?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    because iTunes also installs other components and when removing and re-installing, you have to remove the components in the exact order otherwise it usually doesn't resolve the issue, and sometimes make it worst!
    also make sure: you're using the correct ipad usb cable and plugging it on the back of the computer (not the front usb)
    next step if it doesn't work would be to try to create another windows user (administrator) and try the ipad on that one, sometimes it works like that.
    Good luck

  • I keep putting in my passcode but my iPad won't show the numbers in the blocks and it won't open.  I have tried double tapping in the numbers

    I keep putting in my passcode but my iPad won't show the numbers in the blocks and consequently it won't open for me. I have tried double tapping in the numbers and then it shows the numbers in the blocks correctly but then it responds with a wrong code in red and then locks me out.
    Typing in the code takes a long time which might indicate a full HD.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Mail sent from iPad won't show on MacBook

    I've had my iPad for less than a week and just noticed that the emails I send through my Gmail account (IMAP) from the iPad won't download to my MacBook, whereas the ones I send from my laptop do appear on my iPad as soon as I press the send button. This is odd for the ones I send directly from the Gmail page also show up on my laptop when I open Mail. Anybody knows of a way around this synching problem? I've searched this forum as well as the Gmail website but haven't found any solution so far and don't know where else to look.

    Sounds like you do not have SMTP for your iPad Mail configured correctly with Gmail. SMTP is used for sending email. When you send email from the Gmail web page using Safari on your iPad you are completely bypassing the Mail client app which is why that works.

  • Why won't my iPad won't show up when I open iTunes?

    I received my iPad as a gift last month. I have iTunes (v 10.1.1.4) on my PC (running Windows XP). I no longer have an iPod so I want to download my library of songs to my iPad. However, when I hook up my iPad to the PC, and I open iTunes, the iPad does not show up. My PC recognizes it's hooked up because it's visible in my Windows Explorer. Why won't iTunes recognize it?

    Update to the newest 10.5 version and try again. Open itunes and go to Help/Check for Updates.

    I have a Windows 7 machine and cannot get my Ipad to show up in ITunes to sync. As of now it's just a paper weight, I can't get it to do anything. Please help me, I don't have a MAC yet so I am stuck using my thinkpad

    I would uninstall both iTunes and Quicktime (they are related) and reinstall the latest version. I would install iTunes first separately from Itunes and then install iTunes.

  • My iPad won't show the open apps when I double click

    Double clicking to show the open apps does not work.  I re-powered but it did not help.  Any suggestions?

    For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    Did you ever figure out how to get them back? The same thing happened to me yesterday.

Even the clip that will play is messed up
