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.
