Ipad 2 Wont Be Recognized On Itunes

I just won an Ipad 2. After a couple of days I open it, already had Itunes. So I plug in after I set it up and it didn't get spotted by itunes. The pop up for opening the folder to pictures was there.
I tryed rebooting the Ipad and the Machine, I also tryed reinstalling the newer Itunes but same problem wont get detected.  Ive tryed 5 Different USB ports and nothing.

  • IPad mini not recognized by itunes 10.6.1 (7)?

    Why is new ipad mini not recognized by iTunes 10.6.1 (7)?  Running OSX 10.5.8 software on the Mac.  Software updates both report: "up to date"

    Sorry, but you need iTunes 11 which requires OS 10.6 or higher and a Mac with an Intel processor. In other words, you need a newer Mac.

  • IPad isn't recognized by iTunes or Explorer

    I recently updated my iTunes to 10.5, and before this, all of my devices synced up fine. However, after this update, neither my iPod Touch nor my iPad are even recognized by iTunes OR Explorer. They show up as "Unspecified" in my Devices though. I've already tried all the fixes recommended on the Apple site, but nothing works so far. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who has the problem, so, has anyone discovered a good fix yet?

    Might be the drivers. I know my computer reinstalled both device drivers when i upgraded my touch and ipad to os5. If you haven't done so already, try going into your windows programs menu in the control panel and uninstalling everything apple. Then reinstall itunes 10.5 and plug your devices in and see if the drivers reinstall. It took me 3 hours to upgrade both my touch and ipad, downloading the update, backing up, installilng it and then having the drivers reinstall.

    There is no such thing as an "SG3" or "SG4".  Did you possibly mean a 3GS and iPhone4?
    It has always been very basic to ensure that a backup exists of your media and other important files.  Computers fail, hard drives crashes... things happen.  Do you not have a backup?  The iPhone, like all iDevices is NOT a backup of your media, but rather a mirror of the content in the iTunes library on your computer.
    If your contacts, pics, etc are not on your computer, no backups of the iPhone exist, and they are not on the phone, they are gone.
    No one can magically make them re-appear.

  • IPad OS7 not recognized by iTunes 11.1.5.5

    I have switched to iOS7 on my iPad) and to 11.1.5.5 for iTunes on my PC (Windows 8).
    iTunes and iPad work properly, however when connected to the PC my iPad is not recognized by iTunes anymore. The iPad is recognized by Wndows, i can see it  as Apple iPad and not with the name of my Ipad. I have already reinstalled iTunes but still no connection.
    Thanks for suggestions.

    Solution found: i removed all apple applications (config pannel + uninstall pgms) and reinstalled the old version of itunes again. Now the iPad was identified by Windows correctly  as well as by iTunes. After that I reinstalled again iTunes 11.1.5.5 and everything is working well now.

  • Suddenly my ipad is not recognized in itunes ?

    Suddenly my ipad is not recognized in itunes and claims to a need to be restored.
    How do I solve this without loosing data on my ipad ?
    I cannot communicate with my ipad anymore. It's indicating to be connected to itunes.

    If that is what the message on the screen is, you have no choice but to restore the iPad. If you don't have a backup, you will lose everything on the iPad. That's why you should always backup your important data and your camera roll photos.
    You can read how to do it here. Pay attention to the last part of the article about using recovery mode. You might need to restore that way.

    Quit iTunes, restart your Mac and then restart the iPad and see if the iPad is recognized after that. If not, you can look through these articles.

  • Unknown Error during Recovery - iPad no longer Recognized by iTunes

    I have a 3rd Generation iPad which I was attempting to perform a factory reset.  I received an "Unknown Error" during the process and from that point on I have been unable to get iTunes to recognize my iPad in recovery mode (or otherwise).
    I have tried every thread on the subject, but I found one interesting thing.  If I connect the iPad with the same cable, etc. to another computer it immediately recognizes it in recovery mode and offers to restore the iPad.
    It seems like my computer is not recognizing the iPad because it was in the process of restoring the device when the error occurred.  Does anyone know if there is a way to reset or fix this issue.  I would prefer not to update iTunes and download both the new iTunes and iPad software again and use another computer if it is not necessary.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hey KSHItunes,
    That was a good test to try your iPad on another computer.  It does seem to isolate the issue to something with your computer setup.
    Although you would prefer not to update iTunes, there may be steps in this article which can help.

  • IPad 2 not recognized on iTunes

    This evening I had problems starting apps as the memory was full.  I plugged the iPad into the PC and started iTunes.  All looked good and 'normal' so I started to delete some of the kids game apps.
    A message then came up to update the iPad iOS software.  When I selected that it said the iTunes software needed updating so I selected that too.  After about ten minutes of file downloads it then showed error 3004.  I followed all instructions given by Apple.  One helpful Apple message sends to the iPad but the iPad is now stuck on the black screen with the blue iTunes connect logo.
    iTunes doesn't see the device, even when asking for a reboot.  I tried a system reset to yesterday but that failed too.
    Any one know a way of getting the iPad to get off the blue iTunes connect screen without smashing the thing?

    Hi there Matthew,
    It sounds like your iPad is in recovery mode and it isn’t recognized by iTunes, also this all started after attempting to update iTunes on your PC and iOS on the iPad. Take a look at the article linked below and try the troubleshooting suggestions that it provides before attempting to restore the iPad.

  • Ipad is not recognized on Itunes

    Hello. My ipad is no longer recognized by itunes. I have already re-installed iTunes and updated all my software. On this same computer, my iPhone is recognized by the computer. What can I do? Thank you for your answers

    Start with something very simple. Quit iTunes, restart the Mac and reboot the iPad.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work, look here for other suggestions.

  • My first generation iPad no longer recognized in iTunes, neither via usb nor wi-fi. Did all the steps  recommended in Apple iPad support. Now what?

    My first generation iPad is no longer recognized in iTunes. It just doesn't show up neither via USB nor via wi-fi.
    I've checked the usb connection and cable and its OK.
    I checked that iTunes is up to date on my Mac.
    I reinstalled iTunes on my Mac. 
    I restarted my Mac,
    I've restarted my iPad.
    The iPad has IOS 4.3.1 (8G4) installed. And without the iPad being recognized in iTunes  I can not update the IOS nor apps, nor remove unneeded photos. The iPad is completely filled up, no memory left to allow even updates via cellular or via wi-fi.
    Trying to gain access to update the IOS and to update APPS and to remove the pics I already have backed up and do not need on this iPad locally.
    PS: I even tried to connect the iPad to a different Mac and it was not seen in that iTunes either.
    So, what can I do now?
    Any suggestions besides using it as a paper weight?
    Thanks
