IPad does not appear in iTunes.

I'm running OS X 10.6.8 on my Mac. I'm plugged into a USB port on my Mac. I can see the device in iPhoto, but not iTunes. I tried reinstalling iTunes but receive the message that I have a newer version on my hard drive. I've restarted both units and changed usb ports. What next? Thanks.

You can look through both of these support articles. this first article talks about reinstalling the Apple Mobile Device Service.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Mac OS X v10.6: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart.

My ipad does not appear in itunes

my ipad does not appear in itunes but the computer recognises it

I had the same problem. found a dozen different solutions in various forums. None worked.
One of the official responses TS1538 came very close and sounded promising. I found that the usb device did not appear in device manager. The ipad appeared only in the imaging devices.
The instructions were to right click on the entry in images and update the driver, pointing at
program files\common files\apple\drivers\usbaapl.inf.
This told me that my device was not found in the driver. date on the files was 2009. date on the files in another pc which worked was 2011.
I had already re-installed itunes, which I thought should install the necessary driver.
Decided to fool it. copied the files in the above folder and then deleted them. Then re-installed itunes again.
Fixed.
So why doesnt itunes installation over-ride the old files?
Why doesnt apple tell us about this fix.
Why did I buy and apple?

My ipad does not appear in itunes. I am OS 10.6, itunes is up to date, I have restarted computer and ipad and switched usb sockets. Dont know if its related, but I can no longer see my sony handycam in imovies too.

My brand new iPad 2 does not appear in iTunes. I am OS 10.6, iTunes is up to date, I have restarted computer and iPad and switched usb sockets. Don't know if its related, but I can no longer see my Sony Handycam in iMovies too.

What content are you wanting to copy of the iPad ? You should be able to copy off anything that you've purchased from Apple (films, music, ibooks, apps etc) by connecting the iPad to your computer's iTunes and doing File > Transfer Purchases. If you want to copy off music copied from your own CDs or purchased from other sites then you will need to find a program for your computer that can copy them off – iTunes won't copy them off.
For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/websites then you should be able to copy them off via the Windows camera wizard.
For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
Content in third-party apps (documents and files etc) then how you copy that content off will depend upon what the apps that they are in support e.g.either via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

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.

My iPad does not appear as a device in iTunes

I have sinced my iPad but it does not appear in iTunes as a device whatever I try. Are there any tricks?

I had this a while ago and it may work for you. Hook up the iPad with the cable and in the Summary page under options see what is checked
For wiFi to work you need the sync with this iPad over WiFi selected.
I am assuming you have already done this. I deselected the Wifi, Sync'd and the reapplied it and syn'd. The disconnected the USB cable and the iPad remained connected

You've connected the iPad via cable to your computer, and your computer's iTunes is up-to-date ? If it's icon isn't showing then try one of these troubleshooting pages :
PC : iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
Mac : If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
If the iPad is disabled then you'll need to reset the iPad back to factory defaults, after which you can restore to your backup

Hello popsicles,
This first article should be helpful in getting iTunes to recognize your iPad once more:

If the device is still disabled once it's appeared in iTunes again, please reference this second article:

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.

IPhone Does Not Appear in iTunes

Hi! My iPhone 3GS does not appear in iTunes. It is recognised by Windows. It is recognised by iTunes in my desktop PC, but the problem is when I use my Samsung NC10 portable notebook.
I am using Windows XP Home, version 2002, with SP3.
iTunes is version 9.2.0.61
So far I have followed suggestions in:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495
including re-installing iTunes, resetting iPhone, checking that required services are running, stopping & starting services. I have used msconfig to see if I couls identify any conflicts but no success.
I used iTunes diagnostics, and it answered "no iPhone, iPad, iPod found"
I DO get an error when I start iTunes:
"The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please re-install iTunes" However, the Samsung NC10 does not have a CD/DVD drive, so I am assuming this is the cause of this error.
The iTunes diagnostic outut is as follows:
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (Build 2600)

Since update 11.1.4.62, my iphone does not appear in iTunes at all. How can I fix that?

Hi,
I updated iTunes this morning and now my iphone, ipad do not appear in iTunes.
I tried unplugging the usb cable and but it still does not work. I tried powering off my iphone but it does not connect.
my husband has the same problem with his ipad with his pc. He did the same update this morning.
Anybody has an idea?

I had the same problem and tried some of the fixes describing Apple Mobile Devise settings etc. it didn't work.
What did work was uninstall iTunes and othe various Apple apps and then reinstall with the latest version of iTunes from Apple. All my playlist, music, setting remained intact and it works like a charm.
