cant get my ipad into recovery mode

Hello gish13,

We understand that you're trying to put your iPad into recovery mode. Are these the steps that you're following?

If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

If so, what is happening when you try to access recovery mode?

Thanks!

Thanks for those details, gish13,

If your computer isn't seeing your iPhone when connected, see the following:

If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support

For recovery mode to work properly, the computer will need to recognize it.

Take care!
