IOS 5 Devices not appearing in iTunes 11.1.3 (8)

I have 2 different iOS 5 devices that will not appear in iTunes 11.1.3 (8) on a Mac running Mavericks. One is a 4th gen iPod Touch and the other is a 1st gen iPad Wi-Fi + 3G. I have tried erasing the devices from the device and starting over, hard resetting, other cables, etc., but nothing works. Both are immediately recognized by iPhoto when they are plugged into the computer, but iTunes seems to hate them. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Tried connecting my phone to iTunes running in a virtual machine and it worked fine. So whatever this error is, it's a problem with my computer. Any ideas?

    PAD Mini Locked after iOS upgrade, tried reset on iPAD did not work, plugged in and device not appearing in iTUNEs for reset/restore.  Just get an Apple Logo then a flashing blue screen as if it is caught booting up.   This has happened twice before and iTunes restore fixed it.  But this time device not appearing in iTunes.
    Running iTunes for PC.  But as stated restore has worked before!  Any help greatly appreciated!!

    Place the device in DFU mode and let iTunes restore the device to factory condition.

  • Device not appearing in itunes

    Hello,
    When I conect IPAD to my Laptop using the cable, IPAD is not appearing under Devices of ITunes. s My OS is Windows XP (Service Pack 3). I also have IPOD and this shows when I connect to my Laptop. I tried to troubleshoot this problem in many ways as suggested under Apple Support webpage, but this problem is never resolved and so I finally landed up here expecting that someone would help me. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    Thanks,
    Gopal

  • HT1386 iOS devices not appearing in iTunes Devices on Windows XP Pro PC

    I used to have a Mac. Now I'm trying to sync my iOS devices with my new-to-me Windows XP computer, and they are not showing up in iTunes Devices. A Found New Hardware Wizard pops up, asking for drivers. I've tried it with my iPhone and my iPad. I have Windows XP Professional, and the latest version of iTunes 10. My iPad 2 has iOS 6, but the iPhone is one of the older models with iOS 4.
    The second part of my problem is that I'm trying to Transfer my Purchases from both the devices to the iTunes Library before I sync them, so I don't lose all my old music and photos.

    Yeah, I've tried 5 out of the 7 steps shown in their troubleshooter.  The sixth step is one that is a major pain and I doubt would fix the problem: Reinstall iTunes.  I know enough about PCs to feel about 80% confident that this step would not fix the issue.  Plus, it's a major hassle with re-adding music to the collection.  Nevertheless, I will look at it as a last ditch effort.
    The seventh step is extremely vague and doesn't really help.  "There might be a software conflict."  Fine, but there's no way to find any such conflict, if one even exists in the first place, without a heavy dose of trial-and-error, several hours of time, dozens of reboots, and the patience of Job.
    However, they do list some other steps that I'll try when I get home, such as making sure certain services are installed and running.  I'll post my results here.  Thanks, wiclee.

  • My iphone5 no longer shows up as a device on my computer when I plug it in to a USB port on my laptop.  It does not appear in iTunes as connected, either.

    My iphone5 no longer shows up as a device on my computer when I plug it in to a USB port on my laptop.  It does not appear in iTunes as connected, either.  It does show that it is connected and charging on the phone itself.  This is a new problem.  It used to work just fine.

    Hi Why do you need to use a PC since iOS 7 you can download updates Apps everything Over wifi I have iPhone 5 s & 2 ipads in over a year I have never connected them to My Apple pc Try a wifi update If you have problems Try a Reboot press & hold power button & menu button hold both Down until You see Apple Logo you will not last any data.

  • Device Synch Menus does not appear in iTunes 11 on Windows 8 PC

    My 3rd generation iPod Nano connected to Windows-8 PC and iTunes 11 - Device "Summary" menu does not appear.  If you select the <File> menu in iTunes there is an option to "Synch Nano".  My iTunes is set to manually manage music on the Nano - because the "Summary" menu does not appear in iTunes it is impossible to select albums to Synch with the Nano.
    On the upper right bar there is an eject button for the iPod Nano.  This does in fact eject the Nano device and re-appears in iTunes if you disconnect the device then reconnect the iPod Nano.
    No other device menus are present in iTunes 11 under Windows-8.  The iPod Nano music library also does not appear.
    Only the PC based iTunes music library is visible.
    Itunes software versions are both current on the Nano and Windows-8 PC.
    The computer was deauthorized and then authorized in iTunes.
    The Synch History was reset in iTunes Preferences - this did not re-establish the Nano as a device to synch with iTunes.  (Typically fixes similar problems)
    Resetting nano device by holding Menu after switching unit on/off (Apple Logo Appears then Reboots Nano) makes no difference.
    Nano shows as a drive in Windows-8 in "My Computer" and the operating system recognizes the device connection.
    No problem ejecting and reconnecting the Nano in Itunes but traditional device menus are gone with the exception of the eject button.
    Tested the same iTunes Nano on two other computers with iTunes 11 installed on Windows-7 and Windows XP - works fine.  This issue only occurs on Windows-8 computers.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I just updated iTunes today and this seems to be the cause
    If you're already at version 11.1.5.5, try the procedure in Cerbu's post:
    Re: sync problem
    ... or try section 5 from the following document:

  • HT1386 Itune 11 on Windows 7 x64 and iPad 2. The device do not appear in Itunes.

    Itune 11 on Windows 7 x64 and iPad 2.
    On 3 different PC and 3 different iPad 2 when I installed iTunes 11.1 Windows Autoplay recognise the iPad but iTunes do not.
    The device does not appear in iTunes and thus neither synchronisation nor backup are possible.
    Reverting to the previous version of iTunes solved the issue.
    However with IOS 7 iTunes 11.1 is required and I am back with the same issue. Could you please help?
    Thanks and best regards

    If you try syncing with iTunes again, perhaps the phantom album will be erased since it does not exist on the computer.
    Have you tried restarting or maybe resetting the iPad to see if the album will disappear?
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    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 buttons.

  • IPad does not appear in iTunes Devices list

    My MacBook Pro, iPhone, and iPad are all on the same network, however my iPad frequently does not appear in iTunes Devices when not physically connected by USB.  No problem with my iPhone.  Anyone else with this problem?  Any solution?  (Yes, all OS/iTunes softwares are current.)
    Further detail, to temporarily fix this issue, I physically connect my iPad via USB to sync it.  Temporarily the iPad will be seen in the device list allowing sycing to occur while remotely charging, but at some random time later my iPad is no longer found by iTunes - again without the physical USB link.  So, yes there is a work around, but it is annoying to be so up and down with this feature.
    Any ideas are appreciated.

  • Yesterday, I plugged in my iPod to sync, and my computer opened iPhoto as it always does. It obviously recognized the device, but the iPod sis not appear in iTunes and I therefore could not sync it. Is there a setting I may have accidentally turned off?

    and my computer opened iPhoto as it always does. It obviously recognized the device, but the iPod sis not appear in iTunes and I therefore could not sync it. Is there some setting I may have accidentally turned off?
    Also, today, there seems to be no sound coming through either my internal speakers or my headphones, and not just in iTunes. I doubt these two problems are related, but perhaps there is something beyond coincidence and an old computer?

    but the iPod sis not appear in iTunes and I therefore could not sync it.
    Try reinstalling the AMDS >  iTunes: How to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service on Mac OS X
    there seems to be no sound coming through either my internal speakers or my headphones, and not just in iTunes
    For sound issues check System Preferences > Sound
    Make sure the Mute button is not selected.
