Ipad backup not listed in itunes device backups but is on drive
I am trying to help a friend who upgraded their iPad mini to iOS7 but lost all the notes.
They did a backup but it now not listed in itunes device backups but I fount the folder on the hard drive with 8 other listed backups.
How do I add the original backup into itunes and restore from it?
Thanks anyone.
Simon
Hey Phantom42
Move them into folders that is listed below and iTunes should recognize it. Look in the Back up your backup sections to see the location.

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.iPad not appearing in iTunes

Reset my old iPad, now not seen in iTunes devices
I'm giving my old original iPad to my Dad. Just wiped it using the iPad (settings/general/reset). I used the iPad to set up as a new device. Plugged it into my computer expecting to see it pop up on the iTunes devices section, but it hasn't appeared. However, the old back up for it, which was called OLD IPAD, has disappeared from iTunes devices.
I want to pick and chose via iTunes the stuff I want to put on for my Dad, how can I get iTunes to see it?Look at this link.

IPad will not connect to iTunes without password, but screen inoperable
After an attempted software update, the iPad will not connect to iTunes because it is password locked. But eh screen does not allow me to input the password. This is not a jailbroken iPad, but I did get a message on it that my "iPhone cannot send or receive calls without resetting." This is why I tried to sync, etc.
Try recovery mode.

IPad does not show in iTunes devices
I wanted to install iOS 4.2 but cannot get my iPad recognized on iTunes.
When I plugged the iPad into the MBP I get an OK tone as usual.
It has been connected successfully in the past.
I have restarted both my MacBook Pro and iTunes in different orders.
My AppleTV shows up on devices every time.
HaroldI have tried everything and still iTunes will not recognize the iPad. From the other complaints it seems this is a big problem for many of us.
My problems started when the iTunes v10 was introduced. I still use 9.2.1. I am waiting because I have an AppleTV1 and wanted to see how it effects others with the first version. I really like my older AppleTV and have many items loaded.

I keep fixing this problem and it keeps returning. It happened to ipod touch also. Batteries are charged. 10.2.2.14 itunes
It may have something to do with a conflict with any antivirus or security software that you may be running. I don't know if you've read this, but here is Apple's support article for Windows. You say you keep fixing the problem - I assume you mean by reinstalling iTunes?

Backup device file not appearing in iTunes Device Preferences
While performing 1st time backup for my iPad to iTunes MacBook, the process was interrupted halfway through. As such, I deleted the registered backup file from iTunes Devices Preferences/device/device backup and attempted to reinitiate the backup process. I have to restart MacBook because the iTunes File/Devices turns grey and I am not able to click on it. Restarting gets me to inititiate the back up and transfer purchase. The problem now the device name is not appearing at iTunes Devices Preferences/device/device backup. I am not sure if the backup is successful/complete and if so where is the files? How do I make the file appear so I can transfer the data / apps to my new ipad air via iTunes. Pls help...

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 Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

my ipad is not appearing in itunes...(in fact there are no "Devices" in the itunes at all) ... any suggestions?

Did it ever work? What version of iTunes are you using? (The latest is 10.3.1 as of today.)
You might have a defective cable. I suggest you try carefully disconnecting and reconnecting it to the iPad, to be sure it is making good contact. If you have the iPad 2, there is a slight compatibility problem with the old dock due to the shape of the iPad 2's bottom.

Hello popsicles,
This first article should be helpful in getting iTunes to recognize your iPad once more:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If the device is still disabled once it's appeared in iTunes again, please reference this second article:
