Windows 7 or itunes does not recognize my ipad, windows 7 or itunes does not recognize my ipad

Help! After resetting my ipad, Windows 7 or Itunes does not recognize it. I have read and followed all assistance or how to's that I came across on line but nothing works.

Check in this order-
1. Make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
2. Try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
3. Make sure your lead /connections are not faulty.
4. If you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
5. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
6. If using Widows, make sure all Windows Updates are installed.
7. Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
8. And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -

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.

Re: iTunes has stopped working. Why?

Resolved!
After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
Copy QTMovieWin.dll from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
And that did the trick.

Try disabling a/v software and turn off the Firewall on your PC.
Disable antivirus software
Turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
Then connect the iPod to your computer. Launch iTunes. If your computer still won't recognize the iPod check out this article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Once your iPod is functioning again, with it connected to your computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPod under Devices in the source list on the left.
Select the box next to: Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected
That way iTunes should open automatically when you connect your iPod to your computer.
And iTunes / Preferences - Devices. You can have your iPod sync automatically whenever it's connected from the Devices pane.

Hi Mario,,,,
I tried everything in your reply,,, thank you again,, I had done that once before and all was working great,,
I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???
Thank you again

I have both an iPod and Ipad 2. Latest I have sync. ipod. Now when I want to sync. iPad 2 in iTunes its only iPod mentioned in sync. window and it does not help to connect iPad. its not shown in iTunes. What to do next?

If your computer starts image capture or some other camera software you should be able to quit that and then your iPad will show up in iTunes. Mine does this all the time.
The preference on what to start up when a "camera" is connected is found in Image Capture. So start Image Capture. It's in the applications > Utility folder. Then look for preferences. In my version it's in the lower left corner. Select None or Nothing and quit the program. From then on your iPad should show correctly in iTunes. But you will most likely have to start your smear software manually when you do connect a camera to your computer.

After I reset my Ipod (deleted all data and settings) windows 7 doesn't recognize by ipod touch, and it doesn't appear in the itunes library or in the device menu, but it does charge. How can I get my computer to recognize it again?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

I have a 2nd gen ipad. Since the latest ios update my ipad will not charge when hooked up to my computer running windows 7 and even though it shows that it syncs in Itunes, it will not download any apps. It just seems to skip that part.

I went to the apple store and they hooked up my ipad to a mac and it showed that it was charging and that apps would download. My ipones, touches, and ipods are not having any problems, just this ipad. It seems to be since I updated to the new ios. You can't even do a restore on it because it doesn't recognize it. It shows up top that it's doing that but nothing happens on the ipad. The computer seems to recognize the ipad, itunes recognizes it. It acts like it is communicating with it but it doesn't download anything and won't charge when it's hooked up to the USB port. THe Apple store says there is nothing wrong with this ipad which is about 6 mths old. So what now?

Most USB port do not supply enough current to charge the iPad.

I have OS 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.1 (5). My iPhone 4s does not appear in iTunes. only iPhoto recognize my iPhone. Update of iTunes seems not possible. How can I make appear my iPhone in iTunes?

From the box the iphone came in:
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.5 or later (free download fromwww.itunes.com/download)"
You will need Mac OS 10.5.8 or later in order to get itunes 10.5 or later, in order to connect your iphone.

Did you try recovery mode? Hold down the home button as you connect it to iTunes. iTunes should pop up a window that says "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode" and give you the option to restore.

IPAD connected via USB does not show in Windows

PC Specs : HP ProBook Windows 7 Professional 64 SP1 32 bit 4GB RAM 320GB HDD, Kaspersky ES 10.
I have a client with an iPhone which he connects to his laptop via the iPhone USB cable. He used to copy pictures from the device onto his laptop. Today that does not want to work any more for some reason. If he connects it, it simply does not even detect in
Windows. It doesn't even charge ! Before Windows, in the BIOS , there it charges. In Windows, in the device manager it does not even show anywhere. Also, it does make a one-time-connected-system-sound, when it is plugged in but that's all. In device manager,
there is no alert, no exclamation or error.
What was tried so far :
1.) Disabling anti-virus.
2.) Removing Upper Filter in HKLM/S/CCS/C/Class/[ID] for USB devices of Kaspersky driver association.
3.) Testing the iPad and the USB cable on other machines : Cable works fine.
What I still need to try :
1.) Installing Apple Mobile Device Drivers
What I do not want to do :
1.) Re-install Windows
2.) System Restore (restore points are very old, so unit will use many settings and programs if I do a restore).
What else might I try to get this working ?

Thanks for the responses !
@Milos Puchta :
No things I can see regarding the issue in the Event Logs. Updates were installed on the 15/08/2014... Maybe you can tell me which ones were problematic so I can see if they are installed (There are a lot). Maybe one of them was the culprit with other people
... a known update that was known to cause this
@SenneVL :
The USB are working perfectly. I tested my own USB drive, a USB hard drive, mouse etc and they work wonderful without issues. I must note that some or all of them also have the Upper filter installed. I installed ITunes (which comes with Apple Mobile Device
Driver) and confirmed the service is running. I will post on the Apple Forums too... when I do get time.
I checked with a resource monitor. If I connect the iPhone via USB, it throws out this (amongst million others) :

Updated to iTunes 10 and now iPad will not sync on PC Windows XP Pro

I updated to iTunes 10 earlier today and now my iPad does not register at all in iTunes Devices pane when I try to sync it. The iPhone 4 syncs perfectly. Do I just wait for Apple to sort out the problem with iTunes 10 or what do I do please.
THANK YOU.

I had the same problem after upgrading to iTunes 10, but I'm running Windows 7. The iPad was being detected by Windows but not by iTunes. My iPod would sync with iTunes OK. Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes alone did not fix it. I fixed it by performing the following steps:
1. Uninstalled the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver from the Universal Serial Bus controllers section in Windows Device Manager (this will only be displayed if the iPad is connected to the PC). I also selected the option to 'delete the driver software for this device' - this may be different in XP, I cannot remember.
2. Uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour and Quicktime (basically, ANYTHING Apple related) using Windows Add/Remove Programs. Your iTunes library files and media SHOULD be unaffected by uninstalling but I made a backup of mine first JUST IN CASE. They are usually located in your 'My Music\iTunes' folder.
3. Made sure 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple' and 'C:\Program Files\iTunes' had been deleted by the uninstall routines. I also deleted the Apple related folders in my local profile. On XP these will be in 'C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data' (you may have to enable to option to view hidden files and folders). The folders I deleted were called 'Apple' and 'Apple Computer'. Renaming them will have the same effect if you are nervous about deleting them.
4. Rebooted the PC (why not, eh?).
5. Downloaded the iTunes installation file (iTunesSetup.exe) from the Apple website. Installed it.
6. Launched iTunes, all my music, podcast subscriptions etc were preserved so I did not have to use my backup from Step 2. Connected my iPad. The device driver was installed by Windows, the iPad appeared in iTunes and I was able to sync OK.
I can't say for sure which of the steps above was key to fixing the problem, but hopefully if you do the same it will resolve your problem. Good luck!
