Ipad does not open iTunes automatically

I have a new iPad 3. Connecting to MBP running Lion. All latest software.
On connecting the iPad it would open iPhoto automatically rather than iTunes. I sorted that out following advice on changing preferences (in iTunes & Iphoto) found here & now it does not open iPhoto automatically. However despite having 'Open iTunes when this iPad is connected' checked in Itunes/devices/preferences iTunes still doesn't open automatically when I connect the iPad to the laptop with a cable.
If I then manually open iTunes, the iPad is recognised & syching begins automatically.
How do I get iTunes to open automatically when I connect my iPad?
Thanks
Ian

This is a common problem. Using a different USB port may resolve the issue.

My ipad does not open itunes, why?

when i open itunes it says " itunes cannot open"

Remove the application and reinstall - the cause may be many things, for example a file corruption.

HT4623 My iPad does not have the automatic software update and I do not know how to download IOS if under settings there is no software update button available. Do I have to reset my iPad and lose data?

My iPad does not have the automatic software update and I do not know how to get IOS 6 onto it. When I go into settings there is no software update button.

If you are really on iOS 5 then look in Settings > General > Software update.
Otherwise:
If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

Ipad does not play itunes match

ipad does not play itunes match

Certainly you can use your iPad, start iTunes, sign-in to iTunes Store and turn-on iTunes Match. Provided you use the same Apple Id as the library that you initially enabled iTunes Match on you will see all the Songs available. These can then be played.

Artwork on my iPad does not match iTunes and is not correct for movies, TV Shows Nd some songs

Artwork on my iPad does not match iTunes and is not correct for Movies, TV Shows and some songs & Albums. Is this issue resolved? If so what was or is the fix. I have not been successful in locating that. I found posts stretching back into late 2010.

most of these items were downloaded from eihter iTunes or in the case of movies, imported into the app and then loading them to TV Series or Movies as appropriate. They were all fine until about two days ago when I did a sync. Then the artwork went haywire. I tried manualy removing and replacing the artwork in iTunes with the correct jpg's. and then re-sync. iTunes shows everything OK, but the iPad is the one with it all messed up.

Hi, I have downloaded itunes on windows 7,when I click on the itunes icon on my desktop nothing happens,it does not open itunes,can anyone help me with why it does not open or know how I can open itunes,thanks.

If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name. (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library. If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account. To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

"View In iTunes" Does Not Open iTunes

I am running Windows 8.1 and have installed iTunes. However, when I click on a "View In iTunes" link on the iTunes site, instead of it opening iTunes, I get a Web page telling me I need to download iTunes. Apparently it can't figure out that it's already installed. Why?
Thanks for your help

Thanks. I thought that was probably what you meant, and as I said, I was using Chrome. Your post prompted me to try a different browser. When I tried it in Firefox, it asked me what application I wanted to use to open that kind of file (which Chrome never did), and after I answered that, it opened iTunes properly. However, it doesn't play the podcast; it just displays a list of my albums. The only way I can play the podcasts is to search for them within the program.
So then I tried Internet Explorer. It also prompted me for a program, and when I specified iTunes it took me directly to the list of Magnetic Memory podcasts, but again didn't play the one I had selected in the browser; I had to play it within the application.
What do I need to do?
Thanks again for your prompt and helpful replies.

TS4083 when I receive an email, I get the 5 line outline in the left hand column but the ipad does not open the full message.

I have an ipad 2.
Recently, when I receive an email ( hotmail) the 5 line preview message appears in the left hand column as it should but the full message is not displayed.

Don't know if this is related, but the iCloud servers have been having message delivery issues effecting some users for quite a while today (see http://www.apple.com/asia/support/systemstatus/). Perhaps it started effecting some users several days ago.

HT1430 iPad does not open

My iPad 2 is fully charged. cannot open it except for a few brief seconds- then it immediately closes.

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!
Failing that, see here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281

When the iPAD is in recovery and the iTunes is visible on screen, it does not open automatically. How do I open it?

The iPad is disabled. I followed directions to put it in recovery mode. The screen appeared with iTunes. It does not open automatically. How can I open it?

You've connected the iPad to your computer and you have iTunes open on your computer (your computer's iTunes may not automatically open) - does that not recognise that an iPad in recovery mode has been connected to it ? If your iTunes isn't recognising the iPad then try these troubleshooting pages :
PC : iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows .
Mac : iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X

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.
