Andy, Okay, when I connect the iPad directly into a Mac USB port, the iPad icon does not show up on the iTunes GUI, but (eventually) an alert panel pops up telling me to unlock the iPad with a passcode. The passcode panel never shows up on the iPad, just the Apple logo with a frozen circular activity icon, so there's no way I can unlock it, nor would it likely stay up long enough to do anything with it in iTunes because after a minute or so the iPad reboots itself. In this state is there a way to reset it? I guess this means the iPad itself is toast, and it's not just a battery issue? -Carl _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] https://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
