Recharged my iPad and it shows iTunes and a plug?

Recharged my iPad and the screen shows iTunes and a plug.

It means you're in recovery mode. You need to connect to iTunes on a computer and restore from a iTunes or iCloud backup. This happened to me last Monday and the iCloud backup restored 100% of everything on my iPad. Plus I regained 6GB of needed memory in the process.

My iPad2 works great now after IOS 8.1 Update
I did my iPad2 update thru iTunes on my iMac and it was sucking the iMacs memory very low during the update. Safari froze before loading the first web page and I did a hard boot and went fishing as I saw where it was going to take a long time to recover. When I tried again it wasn't quite right and then did one more hard boot and then did a Reset by going to General-Reset-"Reset all Settings" and it works real well now without loosing any data and in-home wi-fi clocks at 17Mbps download. Probably like most of you I’m sticking with OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks as it gets the job done very nicely and don’t need all that extra fancy stuff that probably will slow things down.

I mistake to using Iphone charger to recharge my Ipad and now the Ipad can't recharge thou.

I mistake to using Iphone charger to recharge my Ipad and now the Ipad can't recharge by the original charger. How can I do?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

Hello nicholafrombelfast,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
This screen on your iPad indicates that the device is in recovery mode and will need to be plugged in to your computer with iTunes to restore the device back to its factory settings. Please see the following articles for more information.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
Take care,

HT1430 screen on ipad frozen. picture shows itunes ans usb cable.....help

That implies that it's gone into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
You will need to do as the image indicates and connect it to you computer's iTunes, you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/resync your content to it

Why will my ipad 2 not show up when I plug in

Cannot get my ipad to be recognised on itunes. what a waste of money

Have a look at your firewall, it's probably blocking the iPad. If you are using a third party firecwall, such as AVG 2012 or McAfee etc... go to their website and search their knowledgebase for iTunes issues and follow the directions given. If you are using Windows firewall, go to Microsoft.com and search the KB for iTunes issues and follow the instructions.

My ipad screen is showing a itunes logo with a charger indicator???

You need to have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. Then connect your iPad to your computer and start iTunes. From there you should get on screen instructions. If you're not sure see the getting started link in a previous post.

Happy to have been of help. Hope all goes smoothly.
BTW, for the sake of others who may help you here, it's usually most polite if you mark the post that answered your question as being the one that "solves" it, not your own post. That's how people get points here, if a questioner marks their post as either "helpful" or "solving". It's not an issue for me, but for those just starting out in the forums it may be important to them. See:

I've just found that three movies I've bought from iTunes on on my iPad are not showing up on Apple TV or anywhere other than that iPad. What's up with that and will I lose these films if I reset this iPad?

Thanks. The reason this has become an issue is that I recently bought a new Macbook Air that the iPad is not synced to. The one is was synced to was stolen. If I want to sync this iPad to the new Air, won't it be wiped before I'm able to copy these films or am I wrong about that?

I downloaded the latest update for my ipad and now it won't open. the screen shows the itunes icon and a pic of the usb cable

That message means that you have to restore the iOS software because something went wrong. Follow the instructions here. I hope that you have a backup.

Iphone and ipad don't show up in left column of new iTunes

I recently installed the new iTunes version.
I don't understand how to "manually manage music and videos". How do I copy a file of music or an ap from iTunes to the iPhone or iPad? They don't show up now in the left hand column that lists the playlists. I don't see how to drag something to the device.
Both the iPad and the iPhone appear in the upper right corner of the iTunes screen. I can click there and see the summary of memory use and options on the device. I can also see both of them as disk drives in "my computer." I can drag photos from the folder that shows up there onto my computer.

They don't show up in the left sidebar or you don't see the left sidebar? Press Ctrl+S
Where you say you can see the device click the device name to open the settings page
Hope that helps
