I have followed all of these steps:
iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.
Use iTunes to restore your device.
When I connect to iTunes and the above message appears, I can see behind the message that it says "iPad Recovery Mode" but for the serial number it has n/a it says that I am up to date on software on iPad, but when I click ok on the "iTunes has detected..." the opportunity to click on "restore iPad" disappears! I am stymied!
