I have downloaded latest itunes but my ipad does not show in devices when I try to sync.  Any suggestions?

I have just gotten my new ipad!!!  I downloaded latest version of itunes but my ipad does not show in devices when I try to sync music.  Any suggestions??

Does a little box come up seeing the iPad as a camera? That doesn't impact iTunes as much as it confirms that your computer sees the device. If your computer doesn't see it then iTunes doesn't know it's there.
If you're plugged into a hub or extender, try plugging it directly into the box or main part of your computer.
If you're using an extension, stop and just use the included sync cable.
Try using a different USB port.
After you installed iTunes, did you restart your computer?
Usually what's needed is the 'apple device driver' which installs automatically, you just need to sometimes trigger the install, using different ports helps with that.
If the simple trouble shooting doesn't help then you can search on the Apple Device Driver and there's more detailed trouble shooting on the site.

  • I just synced my 2 ipods but now my ipad does not show as connected when I try to sync it.  Had no problem syncing before.  Did troubleshooting but have not uninstalled itunes. Help!

    just synced my 2 ipods with no problem now trying to sync my ipad and itouch and they do not show on the screen as usual .  Help!

    You give very few details. If I stated that  .......
    "I started my Nissan today and it started fine - but my Chevrolet will not start today - but it started yesterday. Help!" - you would probably have no idea where to begin with doling out advice or troubleshooting steps. What troubleshooting did you do? Obviously not all of it - if you did not uninstall and reinstall iTunes.
    Quit iTunes, reboot your PC and then try again.
    If that does not work, you could post back with the OS that your actually running on your computer - I am assuming that you are a Windows user and I could be wrong, but without some help from you .... Well we are just beating our heads against the wall.

  • TS1591 the new itunes 11.1.4 does not show my ipod when i try to sync in windows 8?

  • I connect my iPad to my PC and open iTunes, but the iPad does not show up in sidebar.  I want to sync. How do I do it?

    I have my PC on, then plug in my iPad (which is on) and open iTunes.  The iPad does not show up in the sidebar.  How do you get it to show up so that I can select the iPad and then configure the sync settings in each of the settings panes....hoping that these actually show up.
    In the manual it says "log in to your computer user account before connecting iPad".  I am the only user of this PC...does this mean some other user account.  I am confused.  I need "baby steps" to tell me how to do all this....very senior and just learning about this wonderful machine. I will very much appreciate your help.

    If you are the only user on your computer you probably don't have multiple user accounts set up and can disregard that.  If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar.  Now see if your iPad appears under Devices on the left side when you connect it.  If it does, click on the name of your iPad on the left side and your iTunes sync settings options will appear in folders with tabbed headings to the right.
    If it doesn't appear on the left side, follow the troubleshooting steps shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.

  • Downloaded Latest Itunes but now it does not open at all, with no error msg

    I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes for my Laptop. I have recently moved my internet to my laptop so i have been updating software for the past two days.
    However, when the download of Itunes is finish i can not open it. There is no error message at all, it just does not open, it just begins to load with the 'hourglass' waiting symbol and then stops. I can't open it at all.
    I am runnin on Windows XP and had no previous trouble with the older version of iTunes. I am now regretting that i even updated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Claudia.

    I had exactl the same problem, it drove me crazy for about one week. Actually both 7.1.1 and any 6.x version didn't want to install on my PC.
    7.1.1 just downloaded ok and than after running it terminated with no message and no action.
    I tried almost everything: from manually removing all WinXP Registry entries to checking the entrire Win installation.
    I also tried to download itunes from a different PC, but again same result.
    Finally, I gave it a try to download iTunes from a different web site and... everything worked flawlessy!!
    The only conclusion I came to is a possible issue between my network/firewall/ISP settings and Apple download services.. very hard to justify in real world but I can't think of anything else.
    So my advice is to look for another web site hosting iTunes for donwload and give it a try!
    Good luck

    You've connected the iPad via cable to your computer, and your computer's iTunes is up-to-date ? If it's icon isn't showing then try one of these troubleshooting 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
    If the iPad is disabled then you'll need to reset the iPad back to factory defaults, after which you can restore to your backup

    Have you already confirmed that you trust the computer?
    Launch iTunes, then connect your iPhone to the computer.
    When prompted, confirm that you trust the computer.

  • Ipad does not show in devices in itunes

    I have a new iPad.  I am trying to connect it to my iTunes and set up with my Apple account.
    I connect to my computer.  The PC recognizes it as I am asked if I want to copy over the photos taken on the iPad.
    I launch iTunes and it does not show up in the Devices list.
    Any ideas?

    I have tried everything and still iTunes will not recognize the iPad. From the other complaints it seems this is a big problem for many of us.
    My problems started when the iTunes v10 was introduced. I still use 9.2.1. I am waiting because I have an AppleTV1 and wanted to see how it effects others with the first version. I really like my older AppleTV and have many items loaded.

  • I have downloaded Firefox 5.0.1 4 times but the 3.6.19 version still shows up in the "about Firefox" box. Firefox says I have the latest version, but it just does not reflect it in the "about" box.

    When I tried the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th time to download 5.0.1, Firefox states that I have the latest version installed, but it still shows up as version 3.6.19 in the "about Firefox" box. And this older version is also reflected in your "educated guesses" about my current browser below.

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • HT1386 When I try and sync my brand new iPad  I get an error message saying the IPad does not have the latest iTunes but the Ipad says it is up to date and I am stuck in the middle? Help.

    The specific message is must download iTunes version 10.7 or later?

    You will need at least Snow Leopard (10.6.8) to install iTunes 10.7. Check the Apple link below for requirements and ordering info for Snow Leopard.
