Just bought an iPad 2 but iTunes does not recognise it so I can't register it. It's OK with 2 iPhone 4's - any ideas ? Martin

I've just bought an iPad 2 from the USA and my iTunes doesn't recognise it, so I can't register it and get started. iTunes works fine and recognises my 2 IPhone 4s. Any ideas how to overcome this ??

Hi lewansa,
Try resetting it: unplug it and then hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time (nothing will be lost) until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen comes back up, see what it says your battery percentage is. Then try plugging it back in to see if it will continue to charge it up. It shouldn't take more than an hour to charge to 100% if you are charging via a wall socket.
Just to make sure - you are using the adaptor that came with the iPad, correct? Just checking....
Cheers,
GB

Iphone has gone to a screen to plug in itunes, but itunes does not recognise it

I updated the software on my iphone4 and after updating the iphone has gone to a screen to plug in itunes, but itunes does not recognise it. i have reloaded itunes, done a hard reset and still nothing. any ideas?

Gotcha,
If you have an iCloud account you might want to consider syncing that way so you won't have to use cables but that is certainly up to you.
Try:
1.) Backup all your data:
Backup your iOS device: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
Backup iCal: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2.) Reset the computer's sync services and then restart the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
3.) Plug in the iOS device and attempt a sync.
--- Check the Info tab in iTunes to make sure calendars are still set to sync.
If that does not resolve the issue let me know and I'll give you a different route.

itunes does not recognise CD's uploaded

although PC is connected to the internet itunes can't find the connection
have an ipod nano
this is complicating things as I can't change what's on the ipod either

Try a hard reset by pressing the Home button and Wake / Sleep button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.
This does not lose any data on your iPad.

Help!! Unlocking iphone 4 but itunes does not recognise my sim

SSomeone help before I go mad!! Got an iphone 4 that is sim locked to Tesco/O2 mobile. I contacted Tesco to get it unlocked and they eventually sent me an email to unlock the phone (This is after I waited 8 days and I contacted them to find out they put "gotmail.com" not "hotmail.com" don't ask!) The email says to put in any sim apart from a Tesco and O2 one, so I put a Three sim in then connected to ITunes. For some reason though it comes up that "it is not recognised as a supported activation sim" ???? Anyone have any ideas?? I contacted Tesco and they have no idea and told me to ring back tomorrow....

Mines doing the same thing but when i try to open the phone in itunes it just says we could not complete your itunes store request.

Itunes does not recognise ipod touch

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Try another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

iPads are not susceptible to viruses. That is to say there is no known virus that can affect an iPad at this time.
Due to the way the Operating system is built, neither viruses nor Anti-viruses can actually work, which is why Kaspersky offers no version for iPads.
Basically as long as you keep the iPad updated, you should have no issues.

I have just bought the iPad Air but when I try accessing my fotos from my iCloud account, I only get this years fotos whereas in my old iPad I can access the last three years of fotos. I've tried syncing to the computer but it didn't help

I have just bought the iPad Air but cannot access the roots I have on my iCloud account. They do appear on my old ipad 2, any ideas how I can access them please

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

I have a PC. I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes. My computer recognizes my iPad but itunes does not. I have deleted the itunes program, shut down my computer and restarted and then reinstalled itunes. I still have the same problem. Suggestions?

I have a PC. I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes. My computer recognizes my ipad but itunes does not. I have uninstalled itunes, shut down the computer and restarted plus reinstalled itunes. I visited the Apple store there is no problem with the iPad or the cord. I still have the same problem and am unable to sync when I plug in the iPad via the USB cord. Does anyone have further suggestions?

Try going into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTUnes, Apple mobile device service, apple application support. Then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if it'll work
If the computer sees your iPad you know the cable and connection is good, so the issue has to be software.

Best route here is to uninstall iTunes completely using the Windows Control Panel.
Make sure you know exactly which version of Win 7 you're running.
Restart your computer from cold (with no iTunes).
Go to Apple website and download the correct version for your operating system. Install following Apple prompts.
Once installed, close iTunes.
Restart your computer from cold (with new iTunes).
Start iTunes - all should be operating well! Good luck ...

I had purchased and downloaded a tv series to my ipad. Then deleted it due to space constraints. Now I wanted to download it permanently to my MacBook but itunes does not show this purchases. It worked, however, for another series. What can I do?

You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad.
If you haven't synced to a computer them (from here) :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

I just bought an ipad 2, but the packaging doesnt say ipad 2. have they given me the first generation?

I just bought an iPad 2, but the packaging doesn't say iPad 2. have they given me the first generation?

I don't think that the box has the gen number on it. My first gen iPad box has a picture of the screen covering the front of the box, whereas the 2nd gen box just has an angled view across the iPad in the middle of the box cover (there is a picture of the box here) - it doesn't say 'iPad 2' on it, just 'iPad'
If you open the box then you can definitely tell by whether it has cameras on the front and back - there are pictures of the front and back of the iPad 2 on this page : http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/

I just bought an ipad air but I already forgot my passcode. How do I unlock my device? Tried many wrong pass code.

I concur. You were sold a used/demo model that is essentially useless since it is already associated with an AppleID. Take back for a full refund OR a new sealed-in-box replacement.
