Can't see iPad from PC iTunes

Actually, when I'm in iTunes on my Windows 7 PC and I USB attach to my iPad, the iPad device appears on the PC screen.  But, when I close that display, I can't figure out how to reopen it. 
In older versions of iTunes when I had an iPod attached, it would show up on the column to the left where I could treat it like an external drive is treated in Windows. 
I have some trouble believing that I have to disconnect and reconnect the iPad from the PC in order to get the iPad view to reappear.
help!

hit ctrl+s to show the sidebar, ur device should be shown on there. sometimes the keys dont work to show sidebar though so go to view/showsidebar on ur menu bar. if ur menu bar isnt shown then either hit ctrl+b to show it or click on the half shaded out grey box on the top left of itunes window, then hit show menu bar in the drop down menu that appears.

  • Can see iPad Air in iTunes but can't sync or back up. Could 2 days ago.

    Can see iPad Air in iTunes but will no longer sync or back up, could 2 days ago. Can drag apps from library onto device however 'apply' is not available, nor is 'sync' under Devices.

    Disconnect other USB devices from your computer and connect iPad to a different USB 2.0 port on your computer (not on your keyboard).
    Turn iPad off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds, until a red slider appears. Then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Restart your computer. Then reconnect iPad to your computer.
    Download and install (or reinstall) the latest version of iTune

  • My iPad music seems to be corrupt. Can I delete everything including the back up so I can re-load afresh from my iTunes library

    My iPad music seems to be corrupt. Can I delete everything including the back up so I can re-load afresh from my iTunes library
    In my iTunes library on my Macbook Air everything is OK but whenever I syncronise after an update a back up is made and then re-loaded.
    Can I delete this back up somehow and load direct from my iTunes Library ?

    Depending upon what problem that you are having with the Music app, have you tried closing the Music app via the iPad's taskbar and seeing if that helps ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the Music app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Music app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't help then you can delete your music from your iPad and re-sync it back to it. A device's backup doesn't contain the contents of the Music and Videos apps, when you do a restore it gets those from your computer's iTunes library and not from within the actual backup, so deleting the backup shouldn't make any difference to that - if you want to delete the iPad's backup from your Mac then go into iTunes > Preferences (command-comma), and on the Devices tab select the iPad backup and click the 'Delete Backup' button.

  • How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air?

    How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air? (As my Macbook Air is only 64GB and my iPad is 64GB and that my Macbook Air only has 40 GB left...) Or is there no other way but to sync apps from iTunes to iPad without syncing apps from iPad to iTunes(it says Backing Up , then it says Converting files to iTunes, then it shows the name of the app on the bottom...)

    Yes, sign in with the same Apple ID as your stolen one in the new iPod Touch.

  • I have an ipad version 5.1.1. i have multiple albums in the ipad and i want to transfer some photos to my computer but when i open the ipad files via "computer" i can only see picture from one of the albums.what should i do?

    i have an ipad version 5.1.1. i have multiple albums in the ipad and i want to transfer some photos to my computer but when i open the ipad files via "computer" i can only see pictures from one of the albums.what should i do?

    You can only import photos from the camera roll into the computer. Is that the album that you are seeing?
    Any albums that you create on the device itself (the iPad that is) cannot be transferred to your computer. iPad created albums do not contain copies of your photos but merely pointers to those photos so they do not actually exist in those albums.

  • HT1451 I can't see ipod on the itunes library page anymore.  how do i transfer musci from my library to my ipod?

    I can't see ipod on the itunes library page anymore.  how do i transfer music from the hard drive to my ipod now?

    Click on the button for the iPod on the iTunes header bar, e.g.:
    or go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" after which iTunes 11 will look much as earlier versions did. From there the process is exactly the same.
    Regards.

  • HT1918 How can i block others from purchasing itunes from my ipad or iphone?

    How can i block others from purchsing itunes from my ipad or iphone?

    You can use Settings > General > Restrictions on each device to require your iTunes password to be entered for every download (and you can block in-app purchases), or you can hide the App Store ('Installing Apps' set 'off') and iTunes store apps so that they can't be used.

    I just want to see a service I'm paying for on the ipad instead of PC, it should be allowed!!!!
    Roberto

    I red about a Silverlight 5 version that should run also on ipad/iphone, annouced last year for 2011, but I can't find any recent update. On apple store you can find a silverlight 3 version at 5.99$, but it does not seem to be the same thing, just same name.
    I'm not sure that this closure is a good policy from apple side. If I knew in advance I would never buy an ipad.

  • HT1202 I want to put the songs onto an Ipad from my Itunes??? HELP

    I want to put the songs onto my niece's Ipad from my Itunes... but when i plug the ipad into the computer it says I need to select one of the following 'set up as new ipad' or 'resore from this back up :rachels iphone' .. but i dont want to erase anything, i just want to transfer some songs over????

    You can't sync with more than one iTunes library. You will have to enable Manually Manage Music and videos in the iTunes settings and then you can drag and drop the songs onto her iPad. This also requires that you turn of auto syncing in iTunes.
    Without connecting the iPad launch iTunes and from the menu go to Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Check that box. Click OK.
    Now connect the iPad to the computer and you will have to launch iTunes on your own. Click on the iPad name under the devices heading. If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu and you should see her iPad under the devices heading. Go to the Summary Window on the righ and click on Manually Manage Music and Videos. Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
    Now you should be able to drag and drop songs onto her iPad.

  • How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another?

    How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another? My daughter has an iTouch, and I was managing it through my library. I have created an iTunes account for her, with a new iTouch, and would like to move the apps over. I tried to sync the old iTouch to the new library and it said it was already set up to sync with a different library. What is the best way to do this?

    You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    To make the new computer the syncing computer you have to:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases lIke I described above
    - Make a backup of the iPod on that computer by connecting the iPod and then right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPOd from that backup
    She will have to continue to use your iTunes ID to update the apps prchased with your account. To use her account she will have to log into the computer with her account (iTunes>Store) and change the sign in on the iPod by going to Settings>Store.

  • How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program or laptop?

    How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program/computer? The songs in question are originals composed by my boyfriend in Garage Band. We have full rights to them, but they import into iTunes like all the other artists songs. His hard drive crashed and I have the only copies. I have no access to my iMac for 2 months while we tour our show and we need them on the tour. We are in dire straights if we can not access these songs and the iPad will not hook up to our equipment. Plus we need to add a track to a promotional video. So how can we access our own music?
    Thanks.

    If they are in the iPad's Music app then the only way to get them out of it is by connecting the iPad to a computer. As they aren't iTunes purchases you won't be able to copy them back to a computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, instead you will need a third-party program on the computer to copy them off - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • How can I delete movie from my itunes

    How can I delete movie from my itunes on cpmputer?

    I think I found a solution to this problem. Go into the Video app and tap on TV Shows and then tap on the icon for the show that is downloading. Next to each episode, there is a circle with a square in the middle of it. Tap the square next to each episode and it will disappear both from that list and and from the downloading queue in the iTunes app. When you want to download a particular episode, go back into the show in the Video season and tap on Show Complete Season. Now each episode has its own Download button.
    Needless to say, it is insane that when you redeem a season purchase on the iPad, it insists on downloading the entire season.
