Try a different USB port on your computer and if that doesn't work try a different Lightning cable. Alternatively, give the iPad to whoever at you r work place is dealing with such stuff and let them worry about it.

I don't use it often, and recently I was notified that I needed to update some software on the Ipad to remain compliant with work policies. When I tried to unlock the Ipad using the passcode I remembered, I was told thte passcode was incorrect and after trying various combinations I am now completely locked out of the Ipad. When I power it up it says "Ipad disabled" "Connect to ITunes". When I connect the Ipad to my windows laptop which has the latest version of ITunes on it, ITunes doesn't even recognize that it has been plugged in. I have read that I can turn off the Ipad and then press the top button for a while and the Ipad will go into recovery mode and ITunes will aske me if I want to reset the device, but after holding in the top button for about 15 seconds the Ipad emits a small beep which I assume is telling me that it is in recovery mode, but ITunes still doesn't seem to see the Ipad at all. When I go into account settings in ITunes and click on the devices link I see the IPad listed along with my IPhone, so I know at some point I connected the IPad to my ICloud account even thought when I log into ICloud I don't see the device. Are there any suggestions on how else I can either just reset the passcode or reset the IPad to factory settings so I can reinstall the software for work? -- Sincerely, Donald Raikes, CPACC Accessibility Specialist IAAP Certified Professional in Accessibility Core <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.accessibilityassociation.org/cpacccertification__;!!GqivPVa7Brio!ITXXARxD3iTCnbAoB96JZAdz253IVd2urWYbOsB5MNjTAjmFErX-iqpRl4NrjAo7$> competencies -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
