TS3219 Trouble resetting an ipad

Hi all,
I have been given an ipad from my brother in law. He thinks he's reset it but I can't get it to work. When I switch it on, it shows an image saying I need to plug it into iTunes but when I connect it to iTunes on my laptop, nothing happens.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks

You need to restore it.

Trouble resetting my IPad from factory settings

Upon retiring from work I changed my Apple ID from my work to my home email and established a new password. In resetting my IPad from the "factory settings" I signed in under the new Apple ID and password. I then asked to download the latest information I backed up to the cloud. However, my old Apple ID keeps coming up and asking for the password that is associated with that Apple ID. I do not remember the password and no longer have access to that email account. How do I fix this?

You have to change your Apple ID to match your new email.

I'm having trouble with downloads of Aps. I have several that have frozen during the download. I can't delete them and resetting my iPad or trying the airplane mode has not helped. Any ideas?

I'm having trouble downloading Aps on my iPad . I have several that have frozen during downloading and I can't delete them. I've tried resetting my iPad, airplane mode and going through iTunes and Aps store, nothing has helped. Any ideas?

I'm having a similar problem, but different circumstances. Someone gave me their iPod nano to load with tunes. I, myself, don't own an iPod, and the flimsy booklet that came with this device is pointless -- no real info. Anyway, once it was charged, I chose tunes from my library to upload to the iPod, but the entire library began to load (not just the checked selections). I made several attempts to resolve this, including an attempt to restore the iPod to its original settings. Unfortunately, now the computer and iTunes will not recognize this iPod (when iTunes is open and iPod is connected, iPod does not appear in source list, and desktop only reads the device as "iPod", as opposed to what it was originally reading it as) and I can't even get back to the part of iTunes that asks me if I want to restore the iPod. Do I have to bring this to an Apple store, or is there anyone out there who can tell me how to resolve this? I tried the "5 R's" recommended by Apple, but they don't seem to work.

What TC do you have? Model number direct from the base is a big help, it will be A1 followed by 3 numbers.. eg
A1409 Gen 4.. The new AC is A1470
How is it setup?
I need the whole network setup. what modem/router, how is the TC connected etc??
I also need to know what IP the ipod gets, so I can see what mode the TC or network router is working in.

This is how you Reset - 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

Hey ebe301,
Sorry to hear about your troubles with your PC. If you are not seeing your iPhone on your computer, then take a look at the link below to walk you through getting that working again. It will have you verify that drivers are installed and working as well as any third party software that may be causing conflicts.

Hi i am havin trouble with my ipad after i have downloaded a game and have been playing for a while it seems to of diapeared and the screen goes a white blank background there is nothing on the screen at all so i switch it off and back on and it is white

hi i am having trouble with games on my ipad as i have been playing them the screen goes white and i can't play the game i go back to the game centre on the ipad and click on the icon for the game and come up to play i push play buton and the screen come up again white so any body had the same problem could they let me no thanks

Quit the game and restart the iPad.
To quit the game - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. 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.
If that doesn't work 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.

Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Having trouble updating my ipad

having trouble updating my ipad comes up with an error msg 3259 and a network timed out msg. im using windows vista and i have followed the instructions on the apple site about turning of all my firewalls but still having no luck with updating to 4.2. i have also tried a system reset (holding the power and the square button together)

Have you tried temporarily disabling any antivirus/antispyware software on your computer? Those often block updates.
Hope this helps.

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 have just reset my ipad as my apple id was disabled, but once reset I went to download an app and it said apple id disabled again? What is wrong and how can I fix it?

Someboby please help me.....THIS IS DOING MY HEAD IN!! I have had to reset my Ipad as my apple Id has been disabled which reset fine but after the reset I have gone to download an app it was automatically disabled again. Any ideas on why this is happening or how I can fix it would be awesome.

Apple ID being disabled is a different error, and one not related to your iPad.

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
