[WillRuth]

You PHYSICALLY connected the devices to your computer via the USB cable right?

 

[WillRuth]

Yeah, with a brand new Apple USB cable

There may be a warning screen instructing you to go into iTunes and disable the encryption password. Until I did this, the jailbreak button was dimmed out.

Also disable any email accounts that require a pass lock, disable pass lock, and turn on VPN.

Disable lock screen passcode

How do I disable the encryption in iTunes?

I do not have a lock screen password set on the iPad nor do I remember ever enabling backup encryption in iTunes.

After upgrading to 5.0.1 encryption is checked in iTunes and the checkbox cannot be disabled.

Thanks,

Got it.

For all you folks who cannot get Absinthe to detect your iDevice, MAKE SURE you've updated your iTunes to whatever the newest version is.
Took me about 5 hours to realize that. lolol -________-

I have:
-Deleted all email account from my iphone
-Encryption Backup was never enabled
-Update iTunes
-Disabled passcode

It still doesn't work, any other suggestions?

Any updates?

I have done all of the same steps and cannot get the tool to recognize my 4S or iPad2 - both of which are on 5.0.1

What type of computer are you doing it on?
I was trying it on my iMac running 10.6.8 and it didn't work, but i fired up my 08' MBP also running 10.6.8 and it does work. I have heard that this problem may be specific to iMacs.

Restart computer. worked for me. simple.

 

[poloboogie]

all you have to do is power off your mac restart in safe mode then try it, it worked for me after i been going thru not being able to click jailbreak all day

I have an iMac running 10.6.8 as well but don't have an MBP...

Solved You only need to start your mac in safe mode
I has the same issue....
mi iPad version is 5.0.1, snow leopard in 10.6.8...

if Absinthe doesn´t recognize the iPad2 or iphone 4S
turn off your Mac (imac, macbook pro...)
and after chimes press shift for a moment....to enter your mac in safe mode
and voilá...this works...

I Hope happens the same in your case and u can solved as well as me....
