Cannot see my ipad in itunes

The first time I tried to sync my ipad to itunes its icon appeared but then after syncing stopped.. I only have 'greyed out' music on the ipad which i cannot play.
I have since tried to sync but my ipad does not appear at all . I have tried re booting both computer and i pad to no avail. Can anyone help please.

Hi,
Thanks, I tried this but it didn't work. It turned out I had to follow the instructions for
If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed
and update the driver this way from portable devices since there was nothing in the USB list.
Everything is back to normal.
Cheers,

Cannot see my iPad in iTunes on my computer

I've updated recently to OS7 on my iPad2 and updated to 11.1 on iTunes on my PC. Now I can no longer see my iPad on iTunes on my PC. I followed all instructions in the support section but still nothing shows. I never had a problem until this last update.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I have just opened 2 new albums in photo but cannot see the albums thru' itunes when syncing my ipad or thru' the screen saver on ITV

I have just opened 2 new albums in photo but cannot see the albums thru' itunes when syncing my ipad or thru' the screen saver on ITV . My photo apps is Version 1.0 (209.52.0)

Have you tried deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-trying the photo sync and see if they all then copy over (you need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go, as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad) ? The location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
Don't know about the Facebook photo emailing, but there are a number of apps that allow to upload photos to their site (e.g. the 'official' Facebook app).

I just upgraded itunes. And now I cannot see my iPads or iPod in the left margin of itunes? But I can still see them in my Windows Explorer?

Hey there MattSK123,
Thank you for your question. It sounds like you are unable to see either of your devices in the sidebar of iTunes after a recent update. A number of issues could cause this type of behaviour, and would recommend starting with the troubleshooting from the article named:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
If the issue is not resolved, I would next re install iTunes from either of the following articles depending on the version of Windows you have:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
Or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

While downloading software update for Itunes, getting message saying detecting Ipad in recovery mode and telling us to restore Ipad to original settings, which we don't want to do. Also cannot turn on Ipad; shows Itunes symbol with connector. Help!

No promises but a System Reset is worth trying:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 162. Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.

Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

Are you using the USB cable? Have you updated to the latest version of iTunes? Have you tried booting your iPad into Recovery Mode and restoring it from the latest backup?

How can I see my ipad on itunes after cut the restore?

I was restoring my ipad then I accidently closed the itunes by Task Manager and now I can't see my ipad in itunes or any similar program but when I plug my ipad to the PC I can hear the alert means it's plugged , and I can see it in Device Manager , and I can't put it in DFU mode or anything else because I have no screen or home&power button.
sorry for my English.

Hello moamal,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that when you connect your iPad to your Windows computer, iTunes does not recognize that it has been connected. For this situation, I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps outlined in the attached article to resolve this.

Cannot see Apple TV in iTunes

Help!.. Cannot see Apple TV in iTunes...
Have Dell PC running Windows 7 64-bit Prof. Hard-wired into d-link wireless router/modem.
Followed all Apple TV trouble shooting advice to no avail. As a final resort have even fully reinstalled PC operating system and still cannot see the device.
As a test Apple TV was found over the same wireless network by my laptop running XP - so I am sure it is not an Apple TV or network fault.
Has anyone got any adive pls?

had the same problem. The following was found in another thread on ATV disappearing from iTunes. It was posted by Cima113. I tried it. It brings ATV back in iTunes. Mine has been fine now for a month. I hope this helps someone.
(Copied part starts here)
It appears the best and only known solution for the AppleTV issue (windows) isn’t actually iTunes build 9.1.0.79. After the helpful postings to this thread it appears that the recent update of Bonjour is the actual culprit. Users experiencing this issue (Apple TV stopped appearing in iTunes 9.1.0.79) should try the following if your setup stopped working after iTunes 9.1.0.79.
1) Uninstall Bonjour version 2 :
Start> control panel>> uninstall a program>>> Select Bonjour>>>> Uninstall
2) RESTART your computer!!!
3) Open iTunes…
You should get a message that Bonjour is missing… This is what you want.
*While you have iTunes open make sure “Find AppleTV’s” is selected in iTunes, under:
Edit> Preferences>> Apple TV tab>>> Check box bottom.
(The above step must wait until after you install Bonjour 1.0.6, restart and open iTunes. This option is noy available while Bonjour is not installed)
4) Close iTunes.
5) Install Bonjour 1.0.6 (reputable download site: Cnet’s Download.com see below)
http://download.cnet.com/Bonjour-for-Windows/3000-18507_4-93550.html
6) RESTART your computer!!!!
7) Open iTunes
8) Start AppleTV and …
Go to: Settings> Computers>> locate the “iTunes/Add library” option>>>
Go to PC and Enter code in iTunes.
Restarting after uninstall AND install are critical!!
