Please connect eithernet cord to left neck uplink slot (I have nothing against the right port, I just find most people have there cellphones plugged in there). Open ports 5555551 though 5555559, and be ready to receive a signal from Dorje on ThoughtPasserFree (you can download it here, free for personal use). I can read your thoughts directly..... Oh wait this isn't Ghost in the Shell or Cyberpunk. Well forget that then.
You'll have to give us more details. Operating system and verson of iTunes would be handy. Also be aware that if you iPad is out of charge the typical USB port on a PC does not provide enough power to charge an iPad
If it's out of the box then Turn it off and hold home for 3 seconds and then while holding home connect iPad 2 to PC until a (Apple style) connect to iTunes screen appears.
