Compute recognises iPhone but not iPad.

I have an iPad 3 a year old and a new iPhone 4S. Tying to back them up and my windows XP laptop is only recognising the iPhone. Have tried all the USB ports and a few different cables. Nothing makes it recognise my iPad. It makes a noise when I plug it in and take it out but it doesn't come up on the computer menu or iTunes.

I assume you're trying to get iTunes to recognize your iPad.

Hi can anyone tell me if they have had problems with FaceTime on ipad? It works on my iphone but not ipad?

Hi there
Can anyone help me resolve the problem with face time? Only started within last month, I can FaceTime using iphone but not ipad.
It says connect and then does not connect and say unavailible?

Apple has released a document which is reported to address the recent FaceTime issue.

I have air printer that works on iPhones but not iPad 2

I have air printer that works with both iPhones but not with iPad2

Just to build on red_menace's answer a bit...
set MyText to do shell script "ps -A | grep '[M]ac VNC 2.1.app' | awk '{print $5}'"
log "MyText=" & MyText
set content of text field "Dir" of front window to MyText
The log command will write the results of the "do shell script" to Xcode's run log window. If you see the correct output there then you know that part is working correctly and the problem is in the way you're trying to insert the string into the text field. Maybe "Dir" doesn't match the name you've given your text field in IB? Or maybe your text field is contained within another view, such as an NSBox or an NSTabView?
Also, I guess "of front window" should work in AppleScript Studio but I always give my windows AppleScript names in IB and then explicitly specify the window in my scripts. Like this:
set content of text field "Dir" of window "MyWindow" to MyText

How to remove App from iPhone, but not iPad

I have an App that I would like to keep in my iTunes library, but only Sync to my iPad -- not my iPhone. Right now, the App has been 'deselected' from my iPhone, but the associated file size did not decrease. My iPhone still has 1GB more than I would like. How can I remove the App and it's file from my iPhone, but preserve it on my iPad? Thanks!

Deselect it and sync.
Is it still on your iphone?
Apps are generally not that large. I doubt you would notice much difference in memory used.
Look on the iphone to see if the app is there.

I have a 32 gig iPad and downloaded xmotion gps. It works on my iPhone but not iPad? Is it compatible?

I downloaded motion x gps app that works fine on my iPhone but no sat signal on my iPad. Is this a setting on the iPad or is it not possible?

Do you have a 3G+WiFi iPad or WiFi only? The WiFi only model does not have a GPS.

Air Drop on iPad mini & iPhone, but not iPad after updating to iOS 7

I have recently updated my iPhone 5,iPad & iPad mini to iOS 7.Air Drop is on iPhone 5 & iPad mini.When I open control center on iPad,there is no option to turn on Air Drop.

I'm new at trying these things. I have AirDrop on my iPad mini......but......can't seem to see where the share button is. Like I said.....I'm new at this. Any idea where I should look?

Ios 5 wifi syncing working on iPhone but not iPad

I've updated all my devices (mbp to 10.7.2, iPhone 4 and iPad 1 to ios5). I've turned on wifi syncing for both the ios5 devices. The iPhone syncs just fine over wifi (when I unplug the usb cable it stays in the DEVICES list, when I plug it into an ac charger the wifi sync starts). The iPad doesn't. When I unplug the usb cable it disappears from the DEVICES list. Any ideas?

When I went to bed last night I unplugged my iPad from my mbp and it disappeared from iTunes. When I got up this morning, it showed up in iTunes (I didn't even have to plug it in). When I plugged the iPad into my AC charger, iTunes saw it and started a wireless sync. Go figure. Maybe it was just a time issue. I'd done my iPhone yesterday morning and my iPad last night. Maybe iTunes needs a few hours to actually recognize the wire connection..........

I am having problems with my wifi on my ipad its stopped connecting, its fine with my laptop and iphone but not ipad - I want to know if I can set up by plugging in to itunes rather than manually as it wilask me to connect to wifi to set up and I cant!

BOB we need you urgently
Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
I want to test 2 other things:
1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

Have you tried downloading the apps directly to your iPad from the App Store?

Gmail Mail/Contacts/Calendar Functioning with iPhone But Not iPad

I recently purchased an iPad Mini and input my "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" settings the same exact way as they are in my iPhone...
o Exchange account
o E-mail address is "[X]@gmail.com"
o Server is "m.google.com"
o Domain is left blank
o Username is "[X]@gmail.com"
o Password is correct
o Use SSL is turned on
o S/MIME is turned off
Nevertheless, when I launch the Mail app in my iPad Mini, I get the message "Cannot Get Mail: The connection to the server failed". Similarly, my contacts and calendar data haven't synced at all. I'm not having this issue on my iPhone so am a bit bewildered as to why I'm encountering it on the iPad.
Anyone know what's going on here? Thanks in advance!
Best,
Alex

Google discontinued Exchange support for free Gmail accounts as of 30 January 2013. Devices that were already set up wiht it will continue to work. However, as you've discovered, attempts to set it up on a new device will not. You will need to set up the account as a regular Gmail account.
To sync your contacts, you need to add a CardDAV account as well:

Hello there Alex,
Here is some good info to try and isolate what is not connecting correctly. From iOS: Unable to send or receive email found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899.
If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
Restart the iOS device.
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
Try an alternative Internet connection.
If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
If you're still unable to send or receive email, contact your email provider and verify the account settings are correct. You will need to gather this information (PDF).
Additional Information
Using more than one device to check the same POP email account may create a lock-out issue that is easily resolved.
Take care,
Sterling

Only the upgrades on iPhone cause probs. not iPad. Can't get mail. Have to delete and add again. iPhone but not iPad??

I Have this problem from time to time but every upgrade is ridiculous. I have to reset it all to get my mail, my contacts back..... But with mail, I have to delete the account and re-do the whole thing. I shouldn't have to do this. It makes no sense when I don't have to on my iPad. Any ideas?

Stop restoring from backup and instead restore as new.

Calendar entry syncs in to my iPhone but not my iPad

I have a really strange problem where a few calendar entries do not sync to my my iPad but are in my iPhone.
They are complex entries (Reoccurring, different time zones, and meeting invite) but they do appear in my iPhone but not iPad. The settings on both devices are identical, and I've tried to delete the calendar DB from the iPad and re-sync. Same problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

OK, I've worked out that is it not syncing meeting requests that I have sent....any ideas?
