Presumably your computer is either a Windows PC (with iTunes installed) or a Mac (with Finder or iTunes - as appropriate for the installed version of macOS). Other computers, such as Chromebook and Linux cannot be used with iPad.


If having difficulties with your iPad being recognised by a compatible computer, try using a different USB port. Otherwise this support page may be helpful with troubleshooting connection issues:
