Ipad looping on start up and not recognised in iTunes.

My iPad is stuck in a boot loop, between the Apple logo and black screen. tried several methods of restoring including latest iTunes download, but the PC refuses to "see" the iPad, even though it pops up with the serial number and downloads latest iPad software, but then once downloaded gives message "cant find iPad"

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities, Boltonboy12!


It sounds like your iPad is in a boot lop and is not being recognized by your computer. Check out the steps inthis article If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. This article will give you the steps you can take for issues with recognizing your device.


If the issues continue, we would recommend reaching out to Apple directly by checking out this link to Get Support and they will be more than happy to proceed with additional steps.


Have a terrific day!
