New Ipad wont turn on or register in itunes...help!:(

My dad gave me a new ipad from a guy at work, its new but its not from the box, i charged it and turned it on, and it says to plug into itunes via usb cord. When I plug it into my laptop, my itunes doesnt pick up the device at all, How can I get it to show up in the device section so i can register it and turn it on actually? Im lost. Anything would help thanks.

First make sure you meet the requirements
PC with USB 2.0 port
Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.2 or later recommended
(free download from www.itunes.com/download)
iTunes Store account
Internet access

  • Brand new ipad wont turn on out of box

    I bought a new ipad 16 gig from bestbuy tonight and when I opened it up, it will not power on. Connected it to usb and computer wont recognize it. tried charging with the wall charger and usb cord for about 10-25 min and nothing came on the screen, no red battery etc... Anyone have any other tips before I return the unit as defective?

    May as well try a hard reset: press & hold both the Home (round one at bottom center of the screen) and the Sleep (small button on the top of the case) buttons for 10+ seconds. If successful, you'll see the white Apple logo appear in the screen and the boot process will continue. If not, time to head back to the Geek Squad.

  • I want to transfer a movie I have downloaded from itunes to my new IPAD. I have been on the itunes help menu, it tells me to look under 'devices' tab for IPAD. BUT there is no 'devices' tab and it does not list my new IPAD. Help!

    I want to transfer a movie I have bought in itunes to my new IPAD. I have been trying to work how to do this for 3 days now. I have accessed all the itunes help and forums and wiki online. They all tell me to go to the DEVICES tab on itunes and select IPAD then sync. YUP seem simple, BUT there is not DEVICES tab listed on my itunes and it does not list IPAD. Years ago I set up my IPOD no problem and that is listed, but not the new IPAD. Can anyone help? I would love to be able to actually watch films on my IPAD!! thanks

    If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
    If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
    Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

    Not sure which of the fixes worked for you, but don't be gun shy. S* happens as they say. If it worked, chalk the problem up to the "what the heck was that". Its no different than when an application quits on my MacBook to me. I just perform the recommended reboot, restart or whatever I need to make things right again. I would be concerned if it is a recurring problem, but for every once in a while ... As I read on one post recently in a similar situation, the OP's problem was blamed on the "computer gremlins" at work.

  • Ipad wont turn on? It is brand new out of the box!

    ipad wont turn on? It is brand new out of the box! What should i do?

    You are holding down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad in the upper right corner - and waiting until the Apple logo appears?
    You could try charging the iPad as well.

  • Plz help my iPad wont turn

    Plz help my iPad wont turn on I pressed the home and power button and the screen just turn into a glitch plz help

    Try this  - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • My ipad wont turn on but its heating

    my ipad wont turn on after a nigth charge, pressing home and off at the same time wont work, the ipad is a little bit hot.

    That doesn't sound good, have you tried holding down both the Home & Sleep/Wake buttons together for approx 10 seconds - realise you've mentioned this but not sure if you've tried it for that amount of time or until the Apple Logo appears?
    Failing this if you plug in the charger and cable and connect it to the mains and your iPad does anything appear on the screen?
    Regards,

  • My ipad wont turn on it stops at the apple logo and i get little white wording that says this device is not using requires_boot_connect_on_reset

    My ipad wont turn on it stops at the apple logo and i get little white wording that says this device is not using requires_boot_connect_on_reset. Not sure what is going on. also says appleBCMWLANBusInterfaceHTSIC reset chip

    Try the following:
    1. Reset
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo
    2. Restore:

  • HT1414 My ipad wont turn on  and its all charged up

    My ipad wont turn on

    JDBCB-
    To turn the iPad completely off, you would hold the Sleep button until the "Slide to power off" arrow appeared, and then slide it off.  Conversely, to turn it back on you would need to hold the Sleep button for several seconds until the Apple logo appeared.  You might think it was not responding if you did not hold the Sleep button long enough.
    If that approach does not help, try holding both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow if it appears.  If successful, the iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.
    Beyond this, you may need to show your iPad to an Apple Store Genius.  If the Genius can not solve the problem, you will probably get a replacement iPad on the spot.
