    Hello lorvic9195,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
    You can use the following article to troubleshoot your issue with your iPad not booting. I would suggest looking first at the "Power/Battery" section. The "Battery or charging issues" first and then the "Other issues".

    Sure thing bro, no problem. I assume your running Windows 7 or 8? So for me I had to update the iphone drivers.
    First, open Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound then devices and printers look for your apple iphone under the "Unspecified Devices" tab, Right click on it, choose properties, after that you'll choose the hardware tab to the right of the box that opens. When you click on hardware, choose properties again toward the bottom. Then you'll choose settings, after that you should see the Driver tab, 2nd one. Click that and choose update driver, then browse my computer for driver software, after that you'll want to navigate to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers and click Ok. The driver should update and all should be good after that. Matter of fact, here is the article i used. Good luck dude!!

  • IPhone 4S only shows up in iTunes when connected to the laptop through USB, even though wifi sync has been enabled

    Why will my 4S only show up in iTunes when it is connected to the laptop through USB? Even though I have ticked the box for the wifi sync and had no problems with it being plugged into the wall and still showed up in iTunes up until a few days ago. Help please !

    Connect your iPhone to your computer and click on it, you should see an option under options for 'sync with this phone over wi-fi' unclick it and it should stop connecting over wifi.

    hello, i just updated my iphone to ios 5 and since then it doesnt show up in itunes!!!! ive tried apples trouble shooting tips, and nothing has worked, though i havent reinstalled it as i dont want to loose everything!!
    any help would be great

    Sounds like you need to put it in recovery mode and restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.  You could try resetting the phone first (hold on/off and home buttons simultaneoulsy for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the off slider that appears first) but it probably won't work.
