Why won't my iPad 1 set-up on PC?

I am trying to set up my iPad1 on my PC. I have iTunes open, and I connected the cord from the iPad to the USB port, but the screen is still black and the iPad is not appearing in iTunes. I have tried pressing the power-on button, but it won't work.

You are activating an iPad original for the first time? Is that correct? Or just using it for the first time with your computer?
You have tried using the power button on the iPad at the top? Press and hold down until the Apple logo appears on the screen and then let go of the button and see if it starts up. Hold the button down for a few seconds.
Have you tried this to see if the iPad will start up?
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.

    If you are still having problems with your iPad, it is still under AppleCare.
    Bring it into an Apple Store to have it diagnosed and repaired under warranty.

  • HT1386 why won't my ipad charge from my computer - my iphone does! and where has my facetime and contacts icons gone?

    Why won't my ipad charge from my computer when my iphone does? also where have my facetime and contacts icons gone?

    A computer USB port does not provide enough power to charge and run the iPad at the same time but it will charge it if the iPad is turned off.  It will take about four times as long to charge than with the iPad charger.
    The Contacts icon may be inside a folder, such as Utilities.
    There is no Facetime icon.  Start a Facetime link from a contact.

  • HT1689 why won't my ipad 1 download entire purchased tv episodes

    Why won't my ipad 1 download an entire purchased tv episode?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • HT4101 Why won't my iPad mini allow my gopro 32gb SD card to transfer video using the lightening to SD card camera reader?

    Why won't my iPad mini allow my gopro 32gb SD card to transfer video using the lightening to SD card camera reader?
    The gopro transfer worked with my original iPad. Is it the lightening technology?

    If you've gone through all that and it's the right kind of SD card, right naming convention etc. try giving your iPad a reset. Sometimes that port gets turned off (for lack of a better term) and a reset turns it back on. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    If it still doesn't work, if you have access to another iPad try the reader on that. THere are some defective ones out there. If it works on another iPad then there's something going on with yours. If it doesn't work on another iPad then you may want to take that reader back and exchange it because it may be bad.

    Probably because your email provider is filtering it.  The built-in Mail app has no mail filtering capabilities.

    Are you using the same apple ID and password?
    it seems all is in order, but perhaps the password isn't valid.
    if the reset didn't work, try signing out of iTunes and App Store, then back in.
    have you tried going to App Store - purchased and tapping on the cloud icon for the apps you want?   You will still be asked for your password.

    Why won't my ipad print ?

    Hello Karwen,

    Has power and is turned on. If it has power, turn the printer off and then on again to see if that resolves the issue.
    Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
    Has the latest firmware version installed.
    Has paper with enough ink or toner installed.
    Is free of any errors displayed on the printer's control panel.
    Best of luck,

  • TS3274 Why won't my iPad charge when I connect it to my computer?

    I just got an iPad and I can charge it with the wall charger it came with, but unlike my iPod touch when I plug it into my computer it won't charge. I'm confused as to why it won't.

    The iPad battery requires more power to recharge than the iPod and the USB port on the computer does not supply sufficient power to charge it. Apple recommends that you use the supplied power adapter and plug it into a wall socket.
