Well, I would be looking to get it working on at least one platform (of course I now have to admit that I missed the Lion reference in your first post!). I would strongly suggest that you only use one OS so if you tell us which machine (OS) you are going to use then maybe we can look further into it and come up with more suggestions.

I would use lion, because on lion i managed to get it recognized (for 10seconds) more times then on windows, also i can see errors in lion Console.

I get this if i connect the ipad and its not recognized:
The IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate a device.

I get this if it was recognized and disconnects after ~10sec
Could not get public key from device: kAMDUndefinedError
iTunesHelper[178]: _AMDDeviceDetached (thread 0x7fff73ab1960): Device 'AMDevice 0x101a03d60 {UDID = ...

Ok, have a look at these links, they may help.....not certain the second link will be a great deal of help but it might suggest trying different cables!

Tried everything. I asked a guy from the second link if he resolved the problem, he answered:
"Yes. I took my ipad back to the shop and they replaced it with a new one. The USB port was faulty."

Damn, i sure hope thats not my problem as im out of warranty.
How did i even manage to update to ios5 if it a hardware problem.

It may still be worth taking it in as Apple do have a tendency to try to help in these situations, you might be surprised.
