Try a different USB cord if you have one.

Try rebooting the computer, if you haven't already.
Sometimes USB ports can get 'stuck' or unresponsive.

I tried another cable and computer. And every USB port on both. It doesn't do anything when I plug into the wall either.

Also plugged an iPhone in and everything worked fine.

Very close to bustin this baby open, someone please help!

Try this : go to device manager > universal bus controller > properties and update driver.

USB drivers are p to date. It's not even in there as an unknown device.

I've tried another computer also were my iPad 2 does connect.

Take a look at the USB connector on the iPad and see if you can see any green stuff or any other damage on it.

No I don't see anything but I feel like that might be the problem.
Could AT&T have locked this iPad if I reported it stolen? My girlfriend is crazy and I had to report it on her but we are back together and I have it back. But it won't connect can this be a result of AT&T? Anti-theft?

ATT couldnt do anything to it that would cause those symptoms.

**chad daddy** · 10-07-2011, 08:58 AM

That's what's figured. I will prolly just get a new connector.

All it says is connect to iTunes and that's what I do and get nothing.

Does the connector feel 'loose'? Also, does it show up at all in device manager when you plug it in? Did your GF say that she did anything to the iPad while you two were on the outs? You are sure that there is absolutely nothing bad looking in the connector? Although I don't recommend this, as I don't want to be responsible for your iPad, when my puter stopped recognizing my iPhone, I used an alcohol substance to attempt to clean anything out from there, but it noticed in the end that one of the pins was messed up, rendering my iPhone useless to charge or transfer data... Perhaps this is the case with your iPad? If so, I don't know exactly how easy it is to change out the connector. I remember on the iPhone, it was easier to sweet talk the Genius Bar into swapping me out, as the dock connector was part of the logic board and getting it on would require a surgeon (or One1). I realize that swapping out at Apple is probably not possible for you, though. I hope you can get it workin!

It doesn't feel loose or anything like that. But I didn't see a dock connected part for purchase online. I feel like its my only option.
