My 1st gen iPad is not recognized in iTunes, help!  I have uninstalled, reinstalled, stoped and started the mobile....nothing is working.

I have done everything I can find online to solve my problem, but I still have the same problem.  My 1st gen iPad is not recognized in iTunes!  Cannot sync!  Please, any suggestions from anyone?  Anyone else having the same problem?

Hello casinojen,
I would be concerned as well if my iPad was not recognized by iTunes.  Thank you for providing all the information with the steps you took in regards to this issue.  I found an article with a few more steps you can take (you can skip the steps you have already taken):

  • HT1338 Why does my 1st gen iPod shuffle not recognized by ITunes 11

    Why did it take me ten minutes to log into this web site.  The security pass words are rediculous

    Apple no longer supports 1st gen Shuffle.  They want you to throw it away and buy the latest gadget from Apple.  Your alternative is to use a PC, which will recognize your IPod. 

  • HT1386 I just reinstalled my windows operating system and decided to put on windows 8.  After loading all of my music back into a freshly installed itunes, my 4th gen ipod is not recognized by itunes.  My 1st gen ipod nano works with no problem.  Help!

    reinstalled my windows operating system and decided to put on windows 8.  After loading all of my music back into a freshly installed itunes, my 4th gen ipod is not recognized by itunes.  My 1st gen ipod nano works with no problem.  I can eliminate any problems with the cable and connection.
    I've stopped and started the service, and also have performed cold reboots.
    Nothing seems to have helped the situation.
    Help!

  • 1st Gen iPod Nano not appearing in iTunes, but DOES appear as a disk

    Good Afternoon All,
    I have a 1st Gen Nano 1GB that up until iTunes 9 was syncing fine, but now - Nada.
    The Nano is in disk mode and appears just fine in Finder, I can eject it and it's charging fine but iTunes 9 won't see it.
    I have:
    - reset the iPod (not restored because it won't show up in iTunes)
    - updated iTunes to r9 and checked for any other outstanding updates
    - Re-installed iTunes 9
    - this morning I applied the 10.6.1 update
    - The update forced a reboot of the iMac so I have rebooted since the issue started
    I can't do most of what is in this KB article because it won't appear in iTunes (hard to restore otherwise, right?): http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1410
    My iPod Touch's (both 1Gen) connect to the same USB port/cable combination just fine and applied the 3.1 update to both through the same port/cable.
    I don't want to restore the Nano if I don't have to, I have some Nike+ run data on there I don't want to lose, but I suppose I can pull it off in disk mode first if I have to restore.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Fortunately I solved my own problem, but unfortunately it took an iTunes downgrade.
    My daughter's iBook was getting dog slow so I decided to pull a "PC" and reload fresh Leopard to clear out the gunk and get her to trim the fat from her iTunes and other directories and clear the mung left over from the original Tiger to Leopard upgrade.
    As part of that I initially skipped the iTunes 9 update and connected the iPod to iTunes 8 - it was recognized instantly and uploaded my Nike+ data.
    I did notice that the Nano is still PC formatted from back in the day before I switched to Mac. I am going to try connecting it to my iTunes 9 iMac again, and if nothing comes up I am going to restore it in iTunes 8 to Mac format and then see what happens in iTunes 9.
    I will update here.

  • IPad mini not recognized by itunes 10.6.1 (7)?

    Why is new ipad mini not recognized by iTunes 10.6.1 (7)?  Running OSX 10.5.8 software on the Mac.  Software updates both report: "up to date"

    Sorry, but you need iTunes 11 which requires OS 10.6 or higher and a Mac with an Intel processor. In other words, you need a newer Mac.

  • IPad OS7 not recognized by iTunes 11.1.5.5

    I have switched to iOS7 on my iPad) and to 11.1.5.5 for iTunes on my PC (Windows 8).
    iTunes and iPad work properly, however when connected to the PC my iPad is not recognized by iTunes anymore. The iPad is recognized by Wndows, i can see it  as Apple iPad and not with the name of my Ipad. I have already reinstalled iTunes but still no connection.
    Thanks for suggestions.

    Solution found: i removed all apple applications (config pannel + uninstall pgms) and reinstalled the old version of itunes again. Now the iPad was identified by Windows correctly  as well as by iTunes. After that I reinstalled again iTunes 11.1.5.5 and everything is working well now.

  • Suddenly my ipad is not recognized in itunes ?

    Suddenly my ipad is not recognized in itunes and claims to a need to be restored.
    How do I solve this without loosing data on my ipad ?
    I cannot communicate with my ipad anymore. It's indicating to be connected to itunes.

    If that is what the message on the screen is, you have no choice but to restore the iPad. If you don't have a backup, you will lose everything on the iPad. That's why you should always backup your important data and your camera roll photos.
    You can read how to do it here. Pay attention to the last part of the article about using recovery mode. You might need to restore that way.

    Quit iTunes, restart your Mac and then restart the iPad and see if the iPad is recognized after that. If not, you can look through these articles.
