Cannot Activate [New] Ipad - Ipad Not Detected on iTunes

I received my iPad through the mail, yesterday, and have been unable to use it due to it's inability to reach the activation server ('Could Not Activate iPad' error). I read via the forum that it could be related to a server overdrive, however, it is now 24 hrs later and I am still unable to activate it.
My WiFi Connect is perfect; all 3 bars. The iPad looks to have the new IOS 7.
I decided to go forth suggestion of activating the iPad via iTunes, so I downloaded it onto my laptop, following all of the reccommended steps. Nothing happened. I clicked Help>Run Diagnostics, everything is fine and dandy except for one test result stating 'No Ipad, Ipod, etc. Dectected'.
How am I to activate my iPad without the option of using WiFi, nor iTunes. Help!

Make sure that the version of iTunes on your laptop is iTunes 11.1 or later. If not update iTunes.
Try resetting the iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. Then try activating again.
Also check to make sure your Wi-Fi network router is not running a firewall. That might interfere with activation. Once your phone is up and working you can turn the firewall back on. Also turn off any virus protection software on your computer during the activation process.

  • IPad does not detected by iTunes on Updated Windows 7

    Hi All,
    Since i updated my MS Windows 7 with the latest patches, my iPad can not detected by iTunes on my PC.
    The USB ports on my PC were fine, the peripheral (eksternal HDD; USB Flash disk; Printer) still working fine.
    The USB sinc cable data is also working fine when i charge the iPad directly from wall mounth port.
    Do you have a same experience?
    Please advise....
    Thanks and regards

    Folks,
    I had this problem with my PC (windows 7, 64-bit) and my iPad. After messing with it for a long time, I finally found the answer (bad USB driver). The following two step process should help resolve these kinds of problems more quickly.
    The first step is to verify that the iPad (or iPhone) is really connected to your computer. This can be (really) checked using a program called USBDeview. You can get this (very small) program from http://download.cnet.com/USBDeview/3000-2094_4-10614190.html or http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html. Don't worry, it's not Spyware or Malware.
    Just run the program and sort on the 'Connected' column. If your iPad or iPhone doesn't show up as Yes (under 'Connected') then your iDevice is not properly connected to your computer. Could be a cable problem. Could be an iDevice problem. Could be a USB hub problem. Note that your iDevice might be listed as what it is (iPad or iPhone) or it might be listed as 'Apple Mobile Device USB Driver' in the 'Description' column.
    Apple has a number of ideas to resolve this sort of basic connectivity issue, including switching USB ports, resetting your iDevice, rebooting your iDevice, rebooting your computer, etc. You will need to try them until your iDevice shows up in USBDeview as 'Yes' under Connected.
    If you iDevice shows up as 'Yes' under connected, it should also be visible in the Device Manager (found in the Windows 7 Control Panel under Hardware and Sound). You might find it under Portable Devices or it might be under Universal Serial Bus controllers.
    The iDevice may or may not show up in the Windows Explorer. On some machines it does, on others it does not. Why is not clear.
    If the Idevice is properly known to Windows and iTunes can't see it, then any number of other things could be wrong. Apple has a list. See the very useful page over at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. Testing shows that the Apple Mobile Device service must be running. Check this using Task Manager (started by right clicking the taskbar). Note that the iPod service and the iphlpsvc service must also be running. These services have different names under the Processes table versus the Services tab of Task Manager.
    AppleMobileDeviceService.exe - Apple Mobile Device
    iPodService.exe                     - iPod Service
    ItunesHelper.exe                    - iphlpsvc
    Step 4 of http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 checks if the Apple Mobile Device USB is installed. This is essential and a common source of problems. In at least some cases, Windows will install the 'MTP USB' driver. Indeed, Windows will reinstall this driver if you uninstall it. The MTP USB driver is essentially a Windows bug (possibly caused by Microsoft). You MUST replace the MTP USB driver with the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. Step 4 explains how to do this. Note that you MUST use the 'Have Disk' approach. Otherwise, Windows will just reinstall the invalid MTP driver.
    The Apple doc indicates that you can find the correct driver at C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. Perhaps this is correct on some systems. You may find the correct driver in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    iTunes could make this a lot easier by checking if the iDevice is known to Windows (what USBDevier does) and if the Apple Mobile Device USB driver is properly installed for the iDevice. Sadly it doesn't perform either check. Note that iTunes does if some of the related services (see above) are actually running.

  • My iPad is not detected in itunes

    I just got the newest version of itunes in my computer. I have windows 8 64-bits installed.  I can't get my ipad 1 or my iphone 4 to get connected to itunes  but they show up in the explorer. I don´t have ios7 in eather and before the upload everything worked fine.

    Try to update to IOS 7 on both devices and then try connect to computer and see if ITunes recognizes them.  The newest Itunes just may not be able to read older versioned Iphones and Ipads.  Also try maybe unistalling itunes then installing a new copy and see if it will read devices then.

    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.

  • I bought a bluetooth earpiece to be used with my ipad. But my ipad could not detect the earpiece. My friend's other tablet was able to detect my earpiece. Can somebody explain to me why my ipad could not detect my earpiece.

  • Ipad and Iphone will not detect via Itunes

    Ok here is the issue,
    I have IPhone 4 Verizon and Ipad 2 3g Verizon.
    My Ipad2 screen broke and I received a warranty  Ipad 2 but my Dellinspiron with the Intel 3400 chip will not detect on iTunes.
    Windows 7 see it and I can pull photos off. I worked with Apple onissue and at store with 10 reps. my old I pad detects just fine and my IPhone but any other
    IPhone or I pad will not detect. I have tried and wiped ITunes, QuickTimeect ect and even went into registry and deleted all files and still same issue.
       It’s boiling down to the Intel chip 3200 and its almost lookingfor a certain IPhone or I pad and will not detect any other but original phoneor pad.
    If anyone is experiencing a similar issue let me know. I have been allthe way up the ladder at both apple and dell and still the issue looms.
    Thanks
    Phil
    If any other info is needed let me know. I have both the diagnostic test for my laptop and itunes.
    I can post diagnostic from CPU if needed.

    This is reported quite often.. more often the iphone than the ipad.
    Reset the TC and do the setup again. This time setup wireless manually.. use no spaces and only alphanumeric characters in any name and password.. TC name, wireless name, wireless password tc password if you set one.
    Set wireless to manual not auto, and give 5ghz a different name.
    Set channels.. this is the important part for iphone as it can only use 2.4ghz.. so set channel 1, 6, 11 in turn. These are the only non-overlapping channels.
    Set wpa2 security.
    You should be able to get the iphone to connect.. if not remove the security until you do and try again.

  • Ipad not detected by itunes

    Ipad not detected by itunes...clues to why?

    Sometimes all that it takes is to quit iTunes, restart your computer and reset your iPad. Maybe try switching USB ports as well.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the button.
    Sometimes, it isn't quite that easy and that is why these kb articles may come in handy.

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
