Q: Why won't my iPad2 sync anymore?

I am running Windows XP Professional on a Dell PC. I have the latest version of iTunes loaded. Sync by plugging my iPad2 into a USB port no longer seems to work. I get a notice that says the device is not recognized. I was last able to sync in August 2013. Any ideas?

Also, about the same time it appears that the iPad doesn't recognize my gmail account even tho it's correct in mail settings.

Hi Nick O\'Time,

Welcome to the Support Communities! Have you updated your iPad iOS software to the latest version? That would be my first suggestion. The articles below will help you troubleshoot the issue you are having with syncing your iPad to your PC.

Remember that you can download anything you've purchased from the iTunes Store directly to the iPad:
