If your computer isn't recognising your iPad (on the current version of iTunes, iTunes 12, you should get a device icon next to content icons that let you view the different types of content in your library, towards the top left of iTunes) when you connect it then try the troubleshooting on one of these pages :
PC : iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
Mac : If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
