If you have problem while connecting your phone to computer , it says " Device timed out". then press both home button and on/off button simultaneously for few seconds then phone will automatecally restart. then connect again, it will work

The soft boot (home button and power button) probably works.

I just did a hard boot by turning off power to my Ipad Air.


The device time out is a USB error from what I have read.

I am guessing the Ipad air has yet to recognize the type of USB port it is connected to over the usb cable.

Rebooting by soft reboot or a hard reboot causes it to sense the USB port and adapt accordingly.
