ipad wont turn on and I plugged it into laptop and it says "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this ipad before it can be used with iTunes."
iPad, iOS 9
iTunes should have shown you a "restore" button, but, if it didn't, this should help: https://support.apple.com/guide/ipad/restore-ipad-to-factory-settings-ipad86ed91e2/ipados

And have you tried to restore it using iTunes?

How do I restore it using iTunes?
Thank you. If I restore it, will I lose all of my data on my iPad?
If it's in recovery mode, the data is already lost.
~Lyssa
So there isn't any way to recover the data?
Once the iPad is in recovery mode, any data that was on it is gone.
If you were doing iCloud backups, you'll be able to restore that to your iPad when you set it back up.
