Ipad does not show in devices in itunes

I have a new iPad. I am trying to connect it to my iTunes and set up with my Apple account.
I connect to my computer. The PC recognizes it as I am asked if I want to copy over the photos taken on the iPad.
I launch iTunes and it does not show up in the Devices list.
Any ideas?

I 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 have downloaded latest itunes but my ipad does not show in devices when I try to sync. Any suggestions?

I have just gotten my new ipad!!! I downloaded latest version of itunes but my ipad does not show in devices when I try to sync music. Any suggestions??

Does a little box come up seeing the iPad as a camera? That doesn't impact iTunes as much as it confirms that your computer sees the device. If your computer doesn't see it then iTunes doesn't know it's there.
If you're plugged into a hub or extender, try plugging it directly into the box or main part of your computer.
If you're using an extension, stop and just use the included sync cable.
Try using a different USB port.
After you installed iTunes, did you restart your computer?
Usually what's needed is the 'apple device driver' which installs automatically, you just need to sometimes trigger the install, using different ports helps with that.
If the simple trouble shooting doesn't help then you can search on the Apple Device Driver and there's more detailed trouble shooting on the site.

Hi lindaasw,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Do you have the latest version of iTunes for Windows installed? I would turn on the sidebar and the menu bar just to make sure you are seeing everything. If the iPhone is still not recognized in iTunes, follow these troubleshooting steps:

I have set iTunes to be the default player of music cds but they do not play when loaded (iTunes opens) and the CD does not show under Devices.
Thanks in advance for any help.

My iPad does not appear under "devices" in iTunes

When I connect my iPad 2 to my PC (Windows 7), it does not appear under "Devices". I have tried all the steps described in "Trouble-shooting". It does, however, recognize and show my iPod nano, when I connect that through the same USB. I have already deleted and reloaded iTunes 10.4 three times. Incidentally, I had no problem when I was using previous version of iTunes before I updated it 5 days back.

Thanks Rudegar.
Finally what worked? I removed all the Apple software files from my PC. Rebooted my PC. Downloaded iTunes afresh, saved and run it. Ah..ah.. my iPad was under the devices this time and it synchronised well. I am happy. Thanks

IPod Nano does not show under Devices (in iTunes) but is recognized in My Computer and also iTunes opens up automatically when it is connected

I dont think there is problem with iTunes; I uninstalled the right way and re-installed. And, moreover, my other iPod touch gets connected and synced perfectly fine. However the Nano 6th GEN just refuses to.. . Please help! Have tried all options under apple/support website, and uninstalled/ reinstalled drivers too.
Using Windows 7, 64-bit operating system
Some analysis that I did are below, with screenshots, hope it helps:
Responses awaited....

When iPod Touch is connected: it shows up as "Apple iPod"

I connect my iPad to my PC and open iTunes, but the iPad does not show up in sidebar. I want to sync. How do I do it?

I have my PC on, then plug in my iPad (which is on) and open iTunes. The iPad does not show up in the sidebar. How do you get it to show up so that I can select the iPad and then configure the sync settings in each of the settings panes....hoping that these actually show up.
In the manual it says "log in to your computer user account before connecting iPad". I am the only user of this PC...does this mean some other user account. I am confused. I need "baby steps" to tell me how to do all this....very senior and just learning about this wonderful machine. I will very much appreciate your help.

If you are the only user on your computer you probably don't have multiple user accounts set up and can disregard that. If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar. Now see if your iPad appears under Devices on the left side when you connect it. If it does, click on the name of your iPad on the left side and your iTunes sync settings options will appear in folders with tabbed headings to the right.
If it doesn't appear on the left side, follow the troubleshooting steps shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.

What do you mean 'does not ship unless he closed' ? What are you trying to do with your iPad, and what happens when you do it ?
If your computer's iTunes isn't recognising the iPad then do you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer ?
