My computer will not recognize my Ipad as a music device, only as a camera

My computer will not recognize my Ipad as a music device, only as a camera.  When I connect the cable from my Ipad to my computer, only options that appear are for camera and photos.  Thanks.

That's Windows.

  • TS1538 Itunes will not recognize my ipad 1 anymore. Did everything it told me to check and still will not recognize it.

    my itunes will not recognize my ipad anymore. Did everything it told me too. What can I do now.

    Have you tried here >  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    If so...
    Try a Restart of your Computer and this Reset for the iPad...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons..

  • My computer will not recognize my Ipod

    I am having troublr with my Ipod it will not hold a charge and my computer will not recognize it how can I fix it

    Are you using the same cable that was bundled with the iPod?
    it will not hold a charge
    How old is the iPod?  All iPod batteries will dimish overtime and lose their ability to hold a charge at full capacity?
    Does the iPod not charge when you have it connected to your PC?

  • My computer will not recognize my IPhone 4 after being updated

    I was updating my iphone and the screen changed to "plug into itunes" in the middle of it, but it was already plugged in. Now my computer will not recognize that my iphone is plugged in and it is stuck on the "plug into itunes" screen. what should I do? It makes a sound when I plug it into my computer but not the same sound that it usually makes when I normally plug it in.

    Phone not recognised in itunes
    device not recognised by iTunes on PC  or  device not recognised by iTunes on Mac
    Some of those things which concern itunes also help with your problem.  In particular try rebooting the computer, try a different USB cable to attach the phone or try a different port

  • ITunes will not recognize my iPad or iPhone.

    iTunes will not recognize my iPad or my iPhone.  However, it will recognize several older iPods.  I am working in Windows 8.  Help.  I have tried everything I could find and even uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. 
    I really think that my PC is not recognizing these correctly.  When I plug in my iPad it opens directly as an external storage device.  This was working properly a week ago.  What happened? 

    Everytime I try i get an error message that states that itunes has been installed incorrectly.
    What's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

  • I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed.  The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod.  My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything.  What do I do???

    I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed.  The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod.  My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything.  It keeps asking me to sync the ipod to this computer, but I'm scared to lose all my music.  I want to transfer some of the music onto my iphone but I can't.  I'm very frustrated and wish I knew more about computers at the moment!?!?  What do I do???

    You will need the help of some sort of 3rd party software to help you copy the content from your Shuffle back to your PC.  Once you have done that, you can reimport this music into iTunes and configure it to sync to your new Shuffle.

  • My computer will not recognize my 3rd Gen iPod. What to do?

    This just started acting up today. I am able to plug in the ipod to the firewire cable and get it to charge but the computer will not recognize it. It does not show up in iTunes or on My Computer. I have updated iTunes, accessed the device manager to stop and start the ipod service program (as stated in a FAQ), i have restarted my computer. All of these have not solved my problem. Does anyone else have any suggestion? Has this happened to anyone else and if so, how did you fix it. Thanks in advance for any help.

    I would like to just reformat the ipod if I could but it will not be recognized by the computer at all. Any ideas?

  • HT4623 how do I either: 1) turn off comptability feature, or 2) up grade the .exe to be compatable with the iphone  ios 6.0.1 software.  The computer will not recognize the phone.

    How do I either: 1) turn off comptability feature, or 2) up grade the .exe to be compatable with the iphone  ios 6.0.1 software.  The computer will not recognize the phone.  I reinstalled itunes, but it still does not work.

    What are you talking about? There is no "compatibility feature" on the iPhone, and .exe files won't run on the phone.
    Please slow down and explain exactly what you're trying to do and what happens when you try.
