IPad does not appear in iTunes Devices list

My MacBook Pro, iPhone, and iPad are all on the same network, however my iPad frequently does not appear in iTunes Devices when not physically connected by USB.  No problem with my iPhone.  Anyone else with this problem?  Any solution?  (Yes, all OS/iTunes softwares are current.)
Further detail, to temporarily fix this issue, I physically connect my iPad via USB to sync it.  Temporarily the iPad will be seen in the device list allowing sycing to occur while remotely charging, but at some random time later my iPad is no longer found by iTunes - again without the physical USB link.  So, yes there is a work around, but it is annoying to be so up and down with this feature.
Any ideas are appreciated.

    Hello popsicles,
    This first article should be helpful in getting iTunes to recognize your iPad once more:

    If the device is still disabled once it's appeared in iTunes again, please reference this second article:

  • 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?

  • My iPad does not appear as a device in iTunes

    I have sinced my iPad but it does not appear in iTunes as a device whatever I try. Are there any tricks?

    I had this a while ago and it may work for you. Hook up the iPad with the cable and in the Summary page under options see what is checked
    For wiFi to work you need the sync with this iPad over WiFi selected.
    I am assuming you have already done this. I deselected the Wifi, Sync'd and the reapplied  it and syn'd. The disconnected the USB cable and the iPad remained connected

  • My ipad does not appear in itunes. I am OS 10.6, itunes is up to date, I have restarted computer and ipad and switched usb sockets. Dont know if its related, but I can no longer see my sony handycam in imovies too.

    My brand new iPad 2 does not appear in iTunes. I am OS 10.6, iTunes is up to date, I have restarted computer and iPad and switched usb sockets. Don't know if its related, but I can no longer see my Sony Handycam in iMovies too.

    What content are you wanting to copy of the iPad ? You should be able to copy off anything that you've purchased from Apple (films, music, ibooks, apps etc) by connecting the iPad to your computer's iTunes and doing File > Transfer Purchases. If you want to copy off music copied from your own CDs or purchased from other sites then you will need to find a program for your computer that can copy them off – iTunes won't copy them off.
    For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/websites then you should be able to copy them off via the Windows camera wizard.
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
    Content in third-party apps (documents and files etc) then how you copy that content off will depend upon what the apps that they are in support e.g.either via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

  • Ipad does not appear on itunes 11

    My first gen ipad and my iphone 5 do not appear in itunes 11 (even though the computer recognizes the devices when they are plugged in to import photos.  Wifi sync does not work either.  Any help?

    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space

    Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
    From the Apple Icon in the upper left corner of your screen and go to About This Mac to find out if your Mac meets the requirements.

  • IPad does not appear as a device in iTines, nor on My Computer

    My iPad previously linked ok to iTunes and listed as a device on My Computer. Now suddenly it does not, and in iTunes when I select Apple store I get an error message "unknown error" or "cannot connect to Apple server". Yet I am connected to internet and my iPad connects to internet, too. Help.

  • Bluetooth speaker does not appear in "playback devices" list

    I'm having trouble controlling my new Auvio HBT2000W speaker via bluetooth from my Y580 ideapad running Windows 8.1.  They successfully pair, but the speaker does not appear in the "playback devices" to output my audio to.  This may be related, but when in "devices and pritners", if I right click on the Auvio HBT2000W and select "control", the window that pops up (shown below) always closes after about 2 seconds. I have tried all the unpairing/repairing, restarting, etc.I've tried updating the bluetooth driver with the one posted on this website.I've disabled the "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" on the Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30)I've made sure that all "services" are enabled in the properties window for the Auvio HBT2000W.I've even tried the Windows troubleshooter... which of course says that everything is fine and working properly. Anyone seen this before or have any ideas?Thanks!

  • One solution for AppleTV not appearing in iTunes Devices list

    So, this may not be everyone's problem, but I noticed I was having trouble seeing my AppleTV in iTunes sources list when my iBook (the syncing computer) was on wireless, but not when i was plugged into the router via ethernet.
    Perplexed by this, I kept investigating and discovered I couldn't even ping the AppleTV when on the iBook was on wireless, but if I plugged into the ethernet, again - it worked. (the AppleTV connects to my router wirelessly, though for the first big sync I had them both on ethernet.)
    Anyhow, I don't know if this is happening in the router, or in the AppleTV, but the solution was ... to change my laptop's name in sharing preferences.
    This also changes the bonjour name, and that somehow was confusing either the router or the AppleTV since I guess two LAN IP addresses had the same bonjour name.
    I suppose it might also work to force the router to give the same IP address to me whether I'm connected to the router via ethernet or airport. I'm not sure. All I know is, I changed the computer name and now I can ping the appletv when the ibook is connected to the router wirelessly, and the AppleTV appears in the Devices list in iTunes when the iBook is connected via wireless so... I'm happy.

    Yeah ,this only worked temporarily. I don't know what's going on with my router and my AppleTV but it's proving impossible to reliably sync to the AppleTV when both the AppleTV and my iBook (the syncing computer) are connected to my router wirelessly. Sometimes, fiddling with the router fixes it, sometimes rebooting the AppleTV fixes it, but invariably, the time comes when I can ping and see the AppleTV from my desktop (connected to the router via ethernet) and not from the iBook (connected wirelessly)

  • New iPod Touch 3G does not appear in iTunes Devices

    My iPod touch 3G is out of warranty but brand new / never used until today. I connected it with sync USB cable and opened iTunes but "Devices" did not appear on the iTunes menu so I cannot even register the iPod in order to download music. I know the cable and iTunes [latest version] on my computer are OK because when i plugged in my friends iPod everything was OK -'Devices' appears in iTunes.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    make sure it is charged and try to connect in recovery mode, shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • IPad does not appear in iTunes.

    I'm running OS X 10.6.8 on my Mac. I'm plugged into a USB port on my Mac. I can see the device in iPhoto, but not iTunes. I tried reinstalling iTunes but receive the message that I have a newer version on my hard drive. I've restarted both units and changed usb ports. What next? Thanks.

    You can look through both of these support articles. this first article talks about reinstalling the Apple Mobile Device Service.
