3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port



4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.



DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug

6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.



7. Select "Restore iPad"...
