If your iPad is not recognised, or fails to restore, try using a different USB port. Many reports seen here suggest that where the process fails when using the host computer’s USB-C port, instead using a Type-A USB port will allow the restore process to complete.


Otherwise, this support page may help with troubleshooting connection issues:
