TS1538 My computer does not recognize my iPad at all...

I have an iPad 1, have been working fine, until 2 months ago.
Suddenly, it only charges battery if it is Powered Off (it will not charge if I plug it while it is ON, or in Sleep mode). Once I Power Off, I plug and starts charging. If I turn it on while charging, I can use it and it DOES charge until 100% . HOWEVER, screen does not read CHARGING like it did before!!! Crazy, eh? Hence, this is the only way I can charge it. However, this is not the worst part!!
Worst of all, is that now my Windows PC does not recognize my iPad at all. I connect with same USB cable (tried another cable with same result) to the computer, and Windows does not recognize ANY device there. I tried to connect the cable while Powered On, while Powered Off, same results... Tryed another USB device, and it DOES recognize it with no problems. It is a USB 2.0 port, and also iTunes 10.6. Nothing.
Any suggestions please? Thanks!!!

I wanted to add... went through all Apple tutorials to reset the iPad, check for updates, etc. No help there. Thanks!

Did you try quitting iTunes, restart your PC, restart the iPad, connect the iPad, launch iTunes and then see if it is recognized?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Itunes does not recognize my Ipad after software update. says it is in recovery mode, Itunes does not recognize my Ipad after software update.

After an ipad software update, it does not recognize my Ipad in Itunes. Gives error 14. what to do?

You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad.
If you haven't synced to a computer them (from here) :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine earlier, but when I went back a few hours later, the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. I thought it just needed to be charged but there seems to be a larger issue now. What should I do?

Let your ipod die. Then when it is dead charge it adn turn it back on. After that it should be fine.

Ipod touch will not turn on and computer does not recognize the device

I tried resetting my ipod touch, but there is still no response. I have had it plugged into the computer for a couple of days. I don't know if it is charging or what because the screen won't turn on and the computer does not recognize the device. I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes, as well as restarting my computer several times. Does anyone know what to do? I would try restoring it, but like I said my computer doesn't recognize it and itunes doesn't either. Thanks!

I just had a similar problem and tried all of the reboot techniques with no success. I knew it had to be a connection issue inside the iPod, and grasping at straws, I sprayed a little WD-40. I dried it off and let it sit overnight. Today at lunch I plugged it in to my wall charger and it began charging.
***FYI I know they don't recommend spraying WD-40 on your iPod, but it was a last resort for me. I was at the point of paying to send it in for repairs or throwing it away. I wouldn't try this unless you are ready to throw yours away too.

Windows 'My Computer' does not recognize my iPhone?

When I connect my iPhone 3GS to me Dell Windows 7 laptop 'My Computer' does not recognise the phone at all whereas iTunes does. The system just opens an error window saying "Device Driver software was not successfully installed. Does anybody know a solution to this problem? Or of any other way to get my pictures off of my phone?
Also, when my partners 3GS is plugged in, he just recieves an error message saying USB Device could not be recognized, neither iTunes nor windows recognizes it.

First try the troubleshooting steps here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Uninstalling iTunes will not cause you to lose any music.
