HT1386 Ive been through the troubleshooting.  My ipad (1st G) &my ipod touch wont come up in itunes when connect them 2 my comp.  It's not the USB cord or ports, everything is updated &my app store wont come up on ipad when on wifi. how to fix these probs

My ipad (1st Generation) and my ipod touch will not come up in itunes when I connect them to my computer.  My computer is a MAC and it is brand new with the updated system.  Also, when I am connected to my wireless internet at home, my app store will open on my ipod touch, but it will not open on my ipad. 
My USB ports work with other devices that I have, such as my camera, and I have tried plugging in the ipad and ipod to different USB ports on the computer, but itunes still won't recognize them.  The USB cord that I use works.  I know this because I use the same cord to plug into the wall charger and it charges both the ipad and ipod fine.  Also, my itunes has been updated to the most recent version (I update it every time that it's an option).  I HAVE noticed, though, that my ipad and ipod never ask me to update itunes on the actual devices themselves. 
What can I do to solve this issue???  THANKS!

Back up first (Time machine) as much as possible.
Un-install and re install Itunes.
First and foremost download the updated iTunes from apple website. After downloading Uninstall itunes and all its component ( Dont worry, itunes library where your movies and music is located will not be deleted. Please follow instructions on the apple support page). The problem might be the AppleMobileDevice.kext
Heres the instructions on how to un install iTunes

  • Neither my iPod Touch nor my iPhone will show up in iTunes when I plug in through the USB cable.  My software is updated, I've restarted everything, I've reset the devices, but still no luck.  Help?!

    Check your System Profiler to see if your computer is recognizing them. You may need to reset the computers SMC.

  • When downloading an update from app store, password is requested from a different user.  How to change user?

    when downloading an update from app store, password is requested from a different user.  How to change user?

    Unfortunately there's no way around this.  you will need that password to update the apps. If he won't give it to you, then i'm not sure what to say.
    You should have kept the account with the Apps you bought yourself.
    Otherwise, as I said, delete the Apps, and buy them again.
    Sorry.

    iTunes never displays the iPod in the left pane?
    iTunes is shipped with a "helper application" called the "iPod Service" that runs and is used by iTunes to communicate with the iPod device. This service may be disabled.
    If your system is Microsoft Windows XP and you are logged in as an Administrator:
    1. Quit iTunes and, if your iPod is currently connected to your computer, safely remove it using the system tray application to manage removable devices.
    2. Right click on "My Computer"
    3. Select "Manage"
    4. In the "Computer Management" window, left pane (tree view), follow this path:
    +Computer Management (local) > Services and Applications > Services+.
    5. In the right pane, scroll down to "iPod Service" and double click it.
    6. If the service is listed as "Disabled" and "Stopped," change to "Manual" and "Start" it. ("Manual" will cause it to start when iTunes starts and "Start" starts the service right now.)
    7. Close "Computer Management"
    8. Restart iTunes and wait for it to completely come up.
    9. Reconnect your iPod.

  • Why is it that my powerbook does not recognize when i insert external hard drives through the USB 2.0 port

    when i insert an external harddrive through the usb port, my mac doesnot recognise that its even there but when a flash disk is inserted, it recognises it perfectly.
    why does that happen?

    Michael is on the right track. Some external hard drives lacking their own power supply simply cannot get enough power from a single USB port. It is most noticeable in the "name brand" drive that the office supply and computer superstores put on sale every other week. Their chipsets seem to be better optimized for Windows than Macs.
    Flash drives work because the don't have a power-hugry motor that must turn.
    There are two easy and inexpensive cures that allow you to keep your current drive:
    get a "Y-cable" that let you connect one drive to two of the computers UWB ports. Example:1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
    get a self-powered USB hub. It has a separate power supply that boosts what goes to the drive. Example: Macally TriHub - 4 Port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Hub for Mac & PC
    If you need the computer and drive to work together in an environment lacking a power source for the hub, and the y-cable isn't an option because you have too few available USB ports, then your only option is to replace the current drive with one better optimized for Macs, like these:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/on-the-go
    This particular one has the option of running on power from the computer's USB ports or, with an optional power supply, wall power. A good compromise for both remote and desktop use.

  • The iOS device software needs to be updated,but APP Store Update page appears as a blank page.

    Need help.Thanks!

    You don't update an iPad's iOS version via the App Store app. If you are already on iOS 5+ then you should have a Settings > General > Software Update option for direct update on the iPad. If you are on iOS 4 then you can only update via your computer's iTunes.
    To update via your computer, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    A first gen iPad wil update to iOS 5.1.1, and an iPad 2 and 4 to iOS 6.1.2

    I have this problem with the APP store.  There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (null)  Any idea as to how to fix this?

    Does this happen when you try to update?
    These guys have a cool solution that has helped with that error when you can't update an app: http://support.iawriter.com/help/kb/mac-questions/the-app-store-fails-with-there -was-an-error-in-the-app-store-please-try-again-later-null
    NOTE: the instructions are specifically for their app but the solution has also worked for other apps too. They are, however, more advanced steps so proceed with caution.

  • After updating to iOS 7, nothing is working (App Store, Facebook). If you have any suggestions on how to fix it, it would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi, I downloaded iOS 7 recently. Everything was fine until I checked my apps and saw that there was something to update. I tried to update it and it won't work. Also whenever I try to put in my Apple ID and password for anything (ex. iMessage, etc.) it will just keep on loading but never actually finish. Also another problem I found along the way is that Facebook with my iPad mini is not working well at all. It's so slow and can barely load anything. If any of you have any tips on fixing this it would be greatly appreciated.

    Try forgetting the wifi network. Touch the little blue arrow next to your wifi network and choose forget.
    Reset your router. After you've reset etc, try connecting to it again with your iPhone.

  • My ipod touch wont charge nor will the computer recognize it as an ipod

    my iPod touch wont charge when connected to my lab top but it isnt the usb cord or port because it works for a different iPod and my computer wont recognize my ipod.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ive been to the ipod store multiple times and they seem to fix my problem every time while im there but once i get home its still there... the problem is that i connect my ipod to the computer and it shows up as a digital camera but wont show on the compu

    so my ipod is not operating properly and im tryin to fix it and ive been to the genius bar twice now and when im there it seems like theyve gotten it to work but once i return home my ipod is unable to connect to itunes, the computer picks it up as a digital camera and i can not connect it to itunes... now honestly all i want to do is put some music on there, but the computer wont allow me to do that at all so any ideas?

    - Have you tried the troubleshooting here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - You can try disabling the camer notification
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500
    - Do you have any camera, scanner or similar software installed?  That may prevent iTunes from seeing the iPod.

  • I have finished a book in Aperture 3. When I press buy book a text comes up " empty text field detected in book" I have been through the book many times and can't find it. Can I over ride it at this stage the book wants to cancel

    I have finished a book in Aperture 3. When I press" buy book' a text comes up " empty text field detected in book" I have been through the book many times and can't find it. Can I over ride it?  At this stage the book wants me to cancel

    I have been through the book many times and can't find it. Can I over ride it?  At this stage the book wants me to cancel
    Sure, you can override the warning and press "Continue" instead.
    But you said "you have been through the book many times" - have you checked the pages in Aperture's book view or have you checked the preview of the book? I'd look at least at at the "Preview" of the Book - after pressing "Continue" you will see the "Preview" button when the next panel is shown. Look carefully at the preview of the book, if any text is missing.
    If you are sure that you like what you see in the preview and no empty textfields show, you can proceed to buy the book.
