IPad Air 2 not recognized by iTunes

Hi guys.
I bought an iPad Air 2 64GB WiFi+Cellular the day before yesterday. So far, I haven't been able to get it to show up in iTunes. Neither on my laptop (Sony Vaio S, 2011) nor on my workstation (custom built, brand new). Both machines run Windows 7 Home 64 bit. iTunes was not installed on my workstation until yesterday, so it's the latest version. I also updated it on the laptop, and later uninstalled every bit of Apple software and did a clean re-install.
The iPad shows both under "Devices and Printers" and the "Device Manager" as "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver". When I connect it, I get the "Trust this Computer" message - every time. I hit "Trust", the prompt disappears, and nothing else happens. Next time I plug it in, the prompt reappears. Whatever I do, the device doesn't show in iTunes, the diagnostics say "No iPhone, iPod or iPad found". (Sorry for the screenshots all being in German, but you'll be able to understand them, I think ;-) )
I re-installed the drivers repeatedly. I "untrusted" all computers by resetting the security settings on the iPad. None of the official support threads seem to apply, because they all seem to be dealing with the device not being recognized by Windows itself, or a faulty drivers installation, none of which is (or seems to be) the case here. I restarted the tablet while it was connected to the PC. I tried every single USB port I was able to find. :-) This is my first Apple device (not counting a 2nd gen iPod nano, which connects fine, by the way) and it's not off to a good start, I'm afraid.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Jules

Usually, with a window's computer, all you need to do is uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile device service, Apple Application support then restart your computer and reinstall iTunes and plug your device in and it updates the drivers and works.
But it sounds like you've done that.
You could try to poke around in your firewall or antivirus settings, see if that software is blocking the iPad. The only other thing I can think of is to try another cable. I don't think you've done that.
When you uninstall, how do you do it? I suggest that people go in through the control panel and uninstall there via the add/remove program interface.

  • 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 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.

  • IPad air not recognized in Windows 7: Error: \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Bonjour Service\Parameters. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.

    Hello everyone.. I recently bought iPad air and I am trying to connect it to my windows 7 notebook. And so I am trying to install itunes in windows 7. But I keep on getting the error message:
    "\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Bonjour Service\Parameters. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel."
    I already did this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/739820.aspx that was given in this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1558225?tstart=0
    But unfortunately I still get the error message during installation. If I ignore that and continue installation, iTunes is installed and seems to work. But my windows does not recognize my iPad. I read somewhere that iPad driver is in iTunes.
    Please help... thank you very much.

  • 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 ipad is not recognized by itunes

    my wifi ipad will not connect to itunes it is being recognized. i have tried just about everything. i am getting a blank screen with the itunes logo and the connection cord and the arrow pointing indicating for me to connect to itunes, but nothing happens when i try to connect. i called apple and they want me to pay before they can help me. so i am without an ipad and no help. can someone please help???

    Folks,
    I had this problem with my PC (windows 7, 64-bit) and my iPad. After messing with it for a long time, I finally found the answer (bad USB driver). The following two step process should help resolve these kinds of problems more quickly.
    The first step is to verify that the iPad (or iPhone) is really connected to your computer. This can be (really) checked using a program called USBDeview. You can get this (very small) program from http://download.cnet.com/USBDeview/3000-2094_4-10614190.html or http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html. Don't worry, it's not Spyware or Malware.
    Just run the program and sort on the 'Connected' column. If your iPad or iPhone doesn't show up as Yes (under 'Connected') then your iDevice is not properly connected to your computer. Could be a cable problem. Could be an iDevice problem. Could be a USB hub problem. Note that your iDevice might be listed as what it is (iPad or iPhone) or it might be listed as 'Apple Mobile Device USB Driver' in the 'Description' column.
    Apple has a number of ideas to resolve this sort of basic connectivity issue, including switching USB ports, resetting your iDevice, rebooting your iDevice, rebooting your computer, etc. You will need to try them until your iDevice shows up in USBDeview as 'Yes' under Connected.
    If you iDevice shows up as 'Yes' under connected, it should also be visible in the Device Manager (found in the Windows 7 Control Panel under Hardware and Sound). You might find it under Portable Devices or it might be under Universal Serial Bus controllers.
    The iDevice may or may not show up in the Windows Explorer. On some machines it does, on others it does not. Why is not clear.
    If the Idevice is properly known to Windows and iTunes can't see it, then any number of other things could be wrong. Apple has a list. See the very useful page over at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. Testing shows that the Apple Mobile Device service must be running. Check this using Task Manager (started by right clicking the taskbar). Note that the iPod service and the iphlpsvc service must also be running. These services have different names under the Processes table versus the Services tab of Task Manager.
    AppleMobileDeviceService.exe - Apple Mobile Device
    iPodService.exe                      - iPod Service
    ItunesHelper.exe                     - iphlpsvc
    Step 4 of http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 checks if the Apple Mobile Device USB is installed. This is essential and a common source of problems. In at least some cases, Windows will install the 'MTP USB' driver. Indeed, Windows will reinstall this driver if you uninstall it. The MTP USB driver is essentially a Windows bug (possibly caused by Microsoft). You must replace the MTP USB driver with the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. Step 4 explains how to do this. Note that you must use the 'Have Disk' approach. Otherwise, Windows will just reinstall the invalid MTP driver.
    The Apple doc indicates that you can find the correct driver at C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. Perhaps this is correct on some systems. You may find the correct driver in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    iTunes could make this a lot easier by checking if the iDevice is known to Windows (what USBDevier does) and if the Apple Mobile Device USB driver is properly installed for the iDevice. Sadly it doesn't perform either check. Note that iTunes does if some of the related services (see above) are actually running.

  • IPad 2 not recognized by iTunes running on WinXP PC.

    I believe I accidentally selected a Photoshop Elements app instead of just closing the dialogue like I normally do.  Now, everytime I connect the iPad via USB, the Photoshop app fails to open not recognizing the iPad, and iTunes does not recognize the device.
    Anyone have an idea of how I can "undo" this crazy situation?  So far I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes completely, I think.  When I reinstall, my previous settings are still reinstalled so something remains of the previous install.  Also, I have done a "reset" of basic settings on the iPad.
    Very frustrating.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Maybe I will sell this thing and get an Android device.  I seem to have better luck with them.
