HT201302 computer not recognizing my iPad

my iPad isn't recognized by my computer. I can't access my photos, the way this article is describing. I can do this with my iPhone, but not my iPad. What am I doing wrong?

  • Itunes is not recognizing my ipad wirelessly

    All of a sudden iTunes is not recognizing my iPad through my wireless network. It does recognize my phone however. I've tried reinstalling iTunes, turning my iPad off and on and everything. Still nothing. This just started yesterday.

    Have you checked to make sure that the iPad is still set for WiFi sync in iTunes in the Summary Pane of iTunes? Sometime settings go wonky - it happened to me tonight.
    Connect the with the cable again to check the setting - if iTunes is not seeing the iPad via wifi you will have to use the cable. So connect again - check the settings - sync with the cable again - then select the WiFi option again and click on Apply. Let the changes apply and eject the iPad.
    Quit iTunes, restart your computer and then try again.

  • Iphoto is not recognizing my iPad as a device to import pictures

    my iPad is connected to my macbook pro, but it is not recognizing my iPad as a "device" to be able to import pictures/videos. 

    Is the device recognized in iTunes when you connect it with the USB cable?

  • Windows PC not recognizing my iPad

    plugged iPad into my Dell laptop (first time in a while) and get message that iPad cannot be recognized because there is a lower version of iTunes present.  Not sure if that meant on the PC or on the iPad.  Downloaded the upgrade on the PC, but still not recognition of iPad.  Click on iTunes button on iPad but cannot find nor am I prompted to download any updated version of iTunes.
    All I am trying to do is transfer some photos from my PC to the iPad.  This is INSANE on how difficult this process is.
    Any help would be appreciated.  I am sure it is a simple fix, but there is no obvious instruction that I can find to help me out.

    not sure what you mean when you say 'i have updated the iOS on my iPad' - I have not done anything to the iPad yet.  I did download the latest version of iTunes on the laptop.  That should be current.  The iTunes on my laptop is not recognizing the iPad....and giving me a warning that the iPad needs to be updated.
    I do not know how to update my iPad, I guess.

    Itunes is not recognizing my ipad so I can sync

    Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

    iTunes is not recognizing my iPad, I am using windows 8 on my PC

    Do you have iTunes 11? If not, upgrade.
    Try a different USB port
    Try a different cable if you have one.
    Give your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. let it reboot and try again.

  • Erased MBPro not recognizing iPhone/iPad

         I did and earase and istall on my MacBook Pro three months ago to solve a problem, it was a really good thing to do as I had been 'migrating' my stuff from old computer to each new ones taking junk along and collecting more. However I installed all applications with the discs or new downloads NOT from my back up. then I brought my files back in as needed.
         Now I'm up and running great and have my iCal and Address book in place I still have only Apps and Podcasts in my iTunes....NO MUSIC. I don't know which file to go to to restore that.
         The most puzzling thing is that when I plug in my iPad or iPhone they are not recognized! In my iTunes account I tried to Deauthorize in order to Re authorized but apparently I've done this at some time and I'm told I cannot Deauthorize until July 18th!  It says I have 2 devices already authorized but I don't know where to look to see what these are...I've used iPods too...they may be those.
    Any advice?  Thanks, Carolyn

    See

    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or               
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause (after you do the above)

  • Computer not recognizing my built in iSight

    my computer is not recognizing its camera. I have tried restarting, forcing restart, and holding keys that apple care has previously told me to hold. I checked in my system profile and it does not even show my build in isight. Does anyone have a trick that has worked for them before, or a special way to restart my computer that may fix the problem? i am leaving for europe soon and don't want to mail in my computer if i don't have to!

    I have reset the PMU twice and have reset PRAM (holding down apple-option-p-r at startup),I have also repaired disk permissions on my startup disk.
    I can get access to the built-in isight for photobooth and other apple applications but as soon as I try to enable it in VMWare Fusion it stops the VMWare machine (Windows Vista) from booting until I disconnect the iSight from VMWare.
    The iSight then disappears from the available hardware in VMWare Fusion (so I cannot reconnect it in Fusion) and I cannot access the iSight in any Apple application.
    I have Applecare... I think I'll see if I can get any help there.

  • Computer not recognizing that my ipod is pluged in!!

    I have recently reformatted my comeputer and got some new music put on my itunes and when i tried to plug in my ipod it just doesnt do anything...like the little screen on the ipod that usually sais "do not disconnect" doesnt come up...the computer doesnt even accnowladge that anything is pluged in...i tried downloading the newest ipod softwhare and that didnt work...i tried putting in the origional disk that came with it and that didnt do anything...also when i plug my ipod into the computer it drains the battery instead of charging it...suggestions??

    I don't know if this might work for you guys but this is what got my problem solved. If you experience the following, the Ipod was working but suddenly it stops working (i.e. the ipod screen is totally blank no icons like battery low or whatever) and when you connect it to the computer the little sign that means do not disconnect does not appear (the pc does not recognized that the ipod is connected) then maybe this might solve your problem. Do not connect the Ipod to the computer for about 24 hours. Do not try to charge it or anything just leave it by itself let the battery drained then try it the next day and hopefully the icon of battery is low will appear then you can charge it by connecting to the pc.
    This is what happened to me by accident i guess, i had given up and had realized that i had just spend two hundred dollars on something that didn't work but today i tried to turned it on and the battery is low icon appeared so i connected to the PC and now it works.
    Good Luck.
