Because of this, I have not worked through the fix suggested, only the resets and all other advice first but with no joy.

I am reluctant to do a restore via iTunes as I do not want to lose the Jailbroken Apps/data and have to jailbreak myself afterwards, but if this is the only way then I shall have to.

I am very much in distrss and call on you all for your advice pleaseeeee!!!

Don't get sidetracked by this old discussion. It has nothing to do with the current situation you find yourself in. The above was mostly related to a tethered jailbreak, which you don't have.
Try the steps I outlined in your other thread, and we'll see if we can get you back up and working. OK?

Oh, and Don't be a Pirate!

I think what you mean is: this is a 'tethered' jailbreak issue. You, yourself, admit that it only started after upgrading to a tethered JB.

My advice to you is to use untethered JBs whenever possible, because naturally a tethered JB depends on redsn0w to launch. (and could cause a problem if the battery is completely drained!

ehm,sorry to bump the thread guys,but I saw that you didn't help the first guy and I have the exact same problem(no signs of ipad to pc link)

So, if you are on a TETHERED jailbreak and you have let the battery drain, the ONLY thing you can do is charge the iPad from the mains power adapter for a reasonable period of time (at least an hour), THEN perform the tethered boot procedure using whatever tool you normally have to use (I'm assuming an old version of redsn0w?)

I was going to suggest a full battery drain, but of what I understood from his post on the other forums, his problem is that he can't charge it from the mains.

Or did I get this completely wrong? :S

If you can't charge your iPad from the mains and your iPad battery is dead, you don't have many options left... If your PC equipment isn't up to spec to charge the iPad, there is no other magic solution I'm afraid.

Hi
I'm a noob at this so can you guys help me? how do you guys get pictures for your profile and how do you become a iPad fan or something else other than an iPad noob? Please respond
Thx so much

If his problem is really the PC just won't recognise the iPad then you have to troubleshoot the driver installation for your OS. It was undoubtedly interrupted and therefore is not correctly configured any more.
You need to get the current drivers removed and let them reinstall properly, but if your iPad does not have sufficient charge to allow this to complete, again you are out of luck. That's why you MUST get it charged from a wall outlet. If it won't charge from the official charger it indicates a hardware issue, which is probably why it won't connect to the PC...
Don't know what else to suggest. He says he has tried everything.

OK.

1. Don't hijack other peoples threads! Threads should always stay on topic. Hijacking is not on and breaks our rules - you should read them!
2. Update your avatar using the full website from your PC. You cannot do it from the iPad App. Select "User CP" at the top of the page and in that section you can change all your details including Avatar.
3. You are a n00b at the moment, and your ranking will change the more you contribute to the site. You can't change it yourself, but by your own admission, it seems to fit at the moment

Hope that helps.

I'm so sry!! but thx for your help!
