IPad doesn't appear in devices because its running older software but I can't update it because the mac can't see it

iPad doesn't appear in devices because it needs to download updated version of IOS but I can't do that if iTunes can't see it

Hello,
Take a look at the Apple support article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3274, iPad: Basic troubleshooting. In particular the section "If iPad doesn't appear in iTunes or you can't sync iPad" might be useful as it leads to a Troubleshooting Assistant.

Let's start with the most obvious? Have you paid for service? If yes, thry THIS.

HT204204 I cannot download apps because they require newer software, but I also cannot update my iOS 5.1.1 to 8.0...why?

I cannot download apps because they require iOS8.0 and my iPad has iOS 5.1.1 and will now let me update to 8.0! Why?

Sorry to say that you may be at a dead-end as far your your device goes. You can't update to any iOS version above 5.1.1 due to hardware limitations of the iPad 1st gen...thus, you cannot use newer apps that are released. Use the link that Niel provided. You are still able to use the apps that are currently on the device but as far as newer apps that require iOS greater than 5.1.1, you're stuck.

HT4623 Mine say its up to date , but I want to update it to the iOS 7

I need help to UPDATE MY IPAD TO THE iOS 7

I suspect you have a 4G iPod. Those can onlu go as hig as 6.1.3
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

Ipad doesn't appear in itunes devices

What is your old laptop? PC? Mac?
What OS are you running? OS X, windows Vista? Windows 7? Etc.
What troubleshooting have you done?

Back-up / Retrieve Files from an external hard drive that doesn't appear in Devices

Someone please help!
I am going to write the "history" from my disk utility repair here so that other's who copy and paste into search may find it:
(PLEASE SCROLL 13 ROWS DOWN)
Verify and Repair volume “Your Hard Drive Name”
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Checking extents overflow file.
Checking catalog file.
Keys out of order
Rebuilding catalog B-tree.
The volume could not be repaired.
Volume repair complete.Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
Ok. I would really love to reformat this disk, but I have stuff on here from film school that I CAN NOT lose
Question:
How would I go about backing-up the disk if the image doesn't appear under devices? I went to the "Restore" tab/button, but I can not choose the hard drive in the first field. I could have sworn my hard drive was formatted for Mac, but I may have formatted it back to FAT32. I know the disk still functions because when it is powered on, it cycles with/without being connected to my MacPro, but after that, it will only cycle if connected (confirming connection). It does run again when I connect the firewire cable. Here is my equipment:
8-Core MacPro 16GB-Mem RAID
MacOSX 10.6.8 | 2 X 1TB Internal HDD
Aug-2008 15" MacBookPro
(That I used the Maxtor-External with mostly)
DEVICE IN QUESTION
500GB Maxtor One-Touch Plus
FireWire 400 6-pin Connection Bus (2 Ports)
Purchased in Early 2008 from Staples
I can fit the back-up on my 2nd HDD in my MacPro or in my other External:
2 TB G-Technology G-RAID External
1 x eSATA | 2 x FireWire 800 9-pin | 1 x USB 2.0
Self Powered DC-IN
I have had a nightmare searching for answers, so any options you might have would be tremendously helpful. I can't lose the data because I have everything I did during film school on there. That stuff is basically what you pay for when you go to film school, you pay to show what you can do and what equipment you have used. SAVE ME FELLOW APPLE PEOPLE!!!! We COMMAND, as well as CONTROL!

Get Disk Warrior that will repair the problems without requiring that you reformat the drive - $99.00 on a bootable CD. Will not work on a FAT formatted drive.
You will need to use Drag and Drop to save your files by copying them from the bad drive to a good one.
To reprep the drive:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

My ipad doesn't appear in iTunes. I have followed the Apple troubleshooting tips and step by step guide but it is still not there

My iPad doesn't appear in iTunes. I have followed the Apple troubleshooting guide, step by step. I have rebooted both devices, checked that I have a USB 2.0 and still it doesn't appear under devices. The iPad shows as a camera in iPhoto and downloads the photos but doesn't show as a device.

Do you have a PC? if so, go into the control panel, look for the add/remove programs. Look for one named something like 'apple mobile device support'. remove it and restart your computer. then plug your device in and see if the driver installs.

Ipod touch doesn't appear under devices. message - file not found.

My ipod touch doesn't appear under devices when I plug it into the computer. My mac tried to sync with the ipod touch and then gave me the message "ipod touch could not be synced. File not found." This just suddenly started. What file? and what happened to it? help, please.

PROBLEM SOLVED - I did not know that in itunes under "devices" there is a "hide" and "show" if you mouse over the area to the right of the word "devices". My ipod touch was somehow hidden. I still do not know why I got the "file not found" message.

You need to install Office on the computer from the installer DVD or disc image you purchased.

Thank you

So it seems from reading the COMMAND manual that my first issue is that I used a 16GB SD card, and the manual says it will only recogize up to a 2GB SD card. I did use my MB Air's SD card slot and crated a folder and dragged the music files to it, then to the card. So I am going to get a 2GB card and try that next. Otherwise just stick with the iPOD connected. At least that is 8GB

When i plug my ipod into my laptop, it comes up as a new ipod. It says it can't sync and wants me to restore it to its original factory settings but I don't want to because I will lose everything.

You have no choice but to restore the iPod. You can restore from backup if y have one.

My Mac has stopped receiving mail. Mail is still coming through to my iPhone and my wife's iPad but is not appearing on my mac. I have mail from today on the phone but nothing newer than 18 Feb on the Mac. I have not touched any settings. Can anyone adv

My Mac has stopped receiving mail. I have a mac.com address. Mail is still coming through to my iphone and my wife's ipad but nothing is coming through to my imac.I have mail from half an hour ago on the phone but nothing newer than 18 Feb on the mac. Everythng was working fine until recently and I have not touched any settings! Can anyone help?

So I tried something else recently and it seems to have fixed the issue. My mail is now getting new mail again and refreshing after waking from sleep without having to restart mail. Give it a try and hopefully it will help you too.
First, make sure your Mailbox List is visible (Shift + Control + M). Then select all of your inboxes, mailboxes, and folders (not just the root folder for nested folders, make sure to select them all). Then under the "Mailbox" menu, select "Rebuild."
It may take a while to rebuild them all if you have a lot, but like I said it seems to have done the trick for me. I hope that proves to be more of a long-term solution.
