IPad does not appear in devices list on itunes

When I connect iPad to laptop it does not appear in the iTunes devices list. I have tried all the recommended Apple support actions reinstalling iTunes etc but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your tip. It didn't work in quite the way you outlined but it did help me to get my IPad recognised by ITunes. When I did what you suggested ITunes came back with something like ' can't connect to your IPad because the driver is missing, delete and reinstall ITunes to resolve this problem' . When I did that the IPad appeared in the Devices list.
I assume from this that the device driver was defective. Many thanks.

  • Iphone does not appear in device list in itunes?

    Cant sync my iphone

    I have two iPhones (iOS 4.3.5 (8L1) & 4.3.4 (8K2)) that do not appear in iTunes. For both phones, I have followed all steps at
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/
    except re-installing iTunes which seems like a ridiculous thing to do. I have updated my iMac to Lion (Mac OS X 10.7) and have the latest iTunes 10.4 (80). Also, my two iPhones do not appear in iPhoto 9.1.5 (615) either.
    Since I rebooted my iMac I'd assume that is similar to your advice to stop and restart services.
    Any further suggestions?

  • My iPad does not appear under "devices" in iTunes

    When I connect my iPad 2 to my PC (Windows 7), it does not appear under "Devices". I have tried all the steps described in "Trouble-shooting". It does, however, recognize and show my iPod nano, when I connect that through the same USB. I have already deleted and reloaded iTunes 10.4 three times. Incidentally, I had no problem when I was using  previous version of iTunes before I updated it 5 days back.

    Thanks Rudegar.
    Finally what worked? I removed all the Apple software files from my PC. Rebooted my PC. Downloaded iTunes afresh, saved and run it. Ah..ah.. my iPad was under the devices this time and it synchronised well. I am happy. Thanks

  • TS4006 Device does not appear in device list

    Device does not appear on device list

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It happens when you haven't registered that device in Find my iPhone. In the device you want to use with Find my iPhone, log in iCloud following these steps > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup Then, turn on Find my iPhone, and the device will show up in the device list

  • My ipod does not appear in device list

    iTunes does not recognize my iPod Touch. It does not appear as a "device". What does appear is "Sync George Lance's iPod". There is no problem syncing but
    can't manage the iPod. I have gone through the un-installing and re-installs of all of the Apple S/W to no avail.

    Keep in mind, the new iTunes is in a different format.  To revert to a more familiar format:
    In the top menu bar in iTunes, select
    1.  View
    2.  Show sidebar
    Is the device now on the more familiar left hand pane or still not recognized

  • Itunes : Ipad does not appear as device

    I have this annoying problem since udating to ios6
    When i connect my ipad to my Mac itunes cannot find it. There is no devices tab.
    Yet, for some reason itunes did detect an app installed on the ipad and synced it over..

    Try using a different USB port.  You may also need to uninstall/reinstall iTunes. Every new iOS means a new driver to tell your computer what to do with the device. If that driver didn't get installed, you need to trigger it. That's what the unplugging/replugging does, as well as uninstalling/reinstalling iTUnes.
    You should have had to update iTunes in the past couple of weeks. An iTunes update preceeded the iOS update.
    You can also go into 'my computer' and 'add remove programs' and look for the 'apple mobile device driver'. Remove that, then try the unplug/replug. That driver is what tells your computer how to handle the iPad and deleting it can trigger the reinstall.

  • Ipad does not appear as device on macbook

    Can't see my ipad as a device on my macbook. Managed to synch properly when Ipad was new. Just installed snow lepoard mac beeps when USB is connected but never shows up in Itunes

    Maribeth-
    You might try running iTunes, selecting the iTunes Store and signing into your Apple account.  It is possible this might enable iTunes' ability to see the iPad.
    If that doesn't help, I suggest you run System Preferences Software Update on the MacBook, and update everything.  Especially iTunes!

  • My ipad does not appear in itunes

    my ipad does not appear in itunes but the computer recognises it

    I had the same problem. found a dozen different solutions in various forums. None worked.
    One of the official responses TS1538 came very close and sounded promising. I found that the usb device did not appear in device manager. The ipad appeared only in the imaging devices.
    The instructions were to right click on the entry in images and update the driver, pointing at
    program files\common files\apple\drivers\usbaapl.inf.
    This told me that my device was not found in the driver. date on the files was 2009. date on the files in another pc which worked was 2011.
    I had already re-installed itunes, which I thought should install the necessary driver.
    Decided to fool it. copied the files in the above folder and then deleted them. Then re-installed itunes again.
    Fixed.
    So why doesnt itunes installation over-ride the old files?
    Why doesnt apple tell us about this fix.
    Why did I buy and apple?

    If it is a version 2 ATV, it will not appear in iTunes except where you can select it for Airplay. With the new ATV2, you go in the opposite direction (ATV2 to iTunes) after you have enabled sharing. The ATV1 could both store (sync) and/or stream content. The new one cannot. The ATV2 will appear as an AirPlay device in iTunes and in the iPod and Video areas on an iPhone, iPad, etc.
    If your ATV is a version 1, you will have to reset it and go through the setup process using iTunes....

  • App asks to have location services turned on but App does not appear in location list.

    I start the EZ Word Cheats and it starts with the menu open. I click on Quick Import and a blue box appears with the message to turn on Location services in settings. I start the settings app, click Privacy, click Location Services, but EZ Word Cheats does not appear in the list of Apps that can have Location Services turn on. Shutting the iPad off or resetting it does not help.

    I reset location services in Setting>General>Reset>Reset Location & Privacy and that fixed the problem. I need not need to restore from new. When I ran EZ Word Cheats after the resetting location services and then clicked on the Quick import under the menu, a message came up asking access to Photos instead of location services. This is the correct behavior since the program does need access to my photos but does not need Location services.

  • HT1535 The option for "On this IPad" does not appear?

    Despite having a manual set up of content checked, the option for "On this IPad" does not appear? Why is this?

    Hi pmbrady,
    The "On this [device]" tab will only show up if you are in the non-sidebar view of iTunes. In short, if you have the sidebar on the left hand side, you will want to use the disclosure triangle (left of your device name) to view what is on the device.

    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

  • When I open iTunes my iPod nano does not appear in the list of divides so that I can click on what I want to since.

    When I connect my Ipod Nano to my Mac it does not appear in the list of devices, so I can't check what I want it to sinc, such as music videos. It will sinc thr music automaticlly. I can't tell it to sinc anything else.

    the same exact thing happens to me except that when i plug it in it tells me not to disconnect it. i had a friend who told me to leave it plugged in no matter how long it took.. i waited for 5 hours or more for my ipod to do something and i got so mad i just disconnected it.it didn't do ANYTHING AT ALL. so, if someday you find out how to make yours work.. can you tell me please? i'm desperate!
