Jan 10, 2014 8:52 PM in response to eldienby rbrylawski,iPad is not designed to charge via USB. iPad is designed to charge via the supplied wall charger plugged into an electrical outlet.

Jan 11, 2014 8:14 AM in response to rbrylawskiby eldien,When I plug the ipad in to my imac it beeps on/off/on/off - such that iTunes can't recognize it at all - I then get a cluster of "could not connect" messages ... so if I can't connect my ipad to my imac by usb ... how do I?

Jan 11, 2014 8:33 AM in response to eldienby rbrylawski,Oh, I thought you were trying to charge your iPad. You could have a defective cable. Try with another cable and see if the same problem exists.

Jan 12, 2014 7:28 AM in response to rbrylawskiby eldien,I wish it was the cable...
So I made a Genius bar appointment - same problem happened there. It took them 6 times, but eventually they were able to restore my ipad and it was able to be plugged in to a computer and be recognized, charge, etc...
And then I took it home, plugged it in to my imac and it happened again. Ugh. The Genius employee said it did not look like the connection/pins was an issue at all.
One thing I mentioned during the appointment that I have not mentioned here is that I used to plug my ipad in to a pc since I first got it. They didn't seem to think that should matter...
Anyway, thanks for your thoughts rbrylawski ! Any more?

Jan 12, 2014 9:20 AM in response to eldienby rbrylawski,If the iPad operated normally at the Apple Store, then the issue may be with your computer at home?

Mar 5, 2014 1:40 AM in response to eldienby Michael Bacon,I had the same problem. Plugged into a Macbook Pro and it beeps.
Resetting the iPad - No Change
Using a Different cable - No Change
Plug in an iPhone - No Problem
Taking the plugs in and out 20 times and blowing in the outlet - No Change
Swearing and some light abuse to the ipad - No Change
So I just did a sync/back up from iTunes, even though the beeping continued. After starting the backup the beeping stopped and has never come back.

Apr 29, 2014 1:37 PM in response to Amit APPLEby mattsave,Hi,
I appear to have the same problem, flashing, beeping and saying cannot connect to this computer. Does anybody know if a 3rd party 30 pin cable as oppose to an official Apple cable might be the problem? I am thinking some form of reduced power capability in a cheap cable.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

May 27, 2014 2:53 PM in response to eldienby axia,I had the same issue with my iPad 2 in the last 2 days and switched an apple compatible cable (that syncs with my iphone 4 to my brand new macpro) to a frayed, split apple cable that I was about to toss and it worked great.
Wonder if there is something missing in the 'compatible' cables from the original.
cheers

Jul 19, 2014 3:30 PM in response to Amit APPLEby skv31,★HelpfulYou might have resolved this issue by this time. Incase if you still have the problem...
I had the same problem today with my iPad3 and iMac iTunes connection with flashing, beeping and saying cannot connect to this computer. It's the cable issue, the default aging iPad charger cable works fine while charging the battery but doesn't work while connected to the iMac iTunes. I tried with all my iPhone cables and finally one in good condition worked...:)
