What's the situation just now? If the iPad is switched off perform a reboot by holding down the Power and Home buttons for 60 seconds until the white Apple logo appears; it will then reboot - takes a couple of minutes.

If the iPad is 'recovering' might want to wait it out before attempting anything.

Let us know the 'state' it's in now.

Hi sweet poison ipad 1, and at the moment its dead, stuck in recovery mode any good tips

 

[SweetPoison]

Have you tried a hard reset? Hold down the power button and the home button together until the Apple logo pops up.

Then let it go from there ~ what it does best.

 

[brianv]

thank you sweet poison i have tried that and the usb lead pointing to itunes always comes up

 

[SweetPoison]

Don't be connected to itunes when doing that ~ just connect to your power source and the wall.
