1. Turnthe iPad ON

2. CONNECT it to the dock

3. Make sure iTunes is open so you’ll know when it enters DFU mode

4. HOLD the Power/Sleep-Wake button AND the Home button for around 10 seconds.

5. RELEASE only the Power/Sleep-Wake button and continue to hold the Home button

6. WAIT until iTunes recognizes the phone/iPad in DFU Restore mode (in Windows a bubble pops up saying it recognized new hardware “DFU Mode” or something to that effect)


I hope this helps!!!

I have to agree with Deckers777: even though my charging does work now after the efforts to connect to my PC before connecting to a charger proper, the charging seems substantially slower than it used to.


Speculation: I wonder if the new iOS 6 is much pickier in its tolerances for (in my case) a generic charger.


Perhaps Apple was getting warranty repair issues due to poor DC quality from cheap chargers, and this is one way to reduce the impact: reduce the current draw (and increase the charging time required) from generic devices.


Are those relying exclusively on Apple-brand chargers suffering slow-downs?
